After losing 9 of their last 10, the Phillies returned to Citizens Bank Park and bounced back, winning 5 of 6. Cliff is joined by Anthony Dabbundo — aka Tony Bunz — who makes his triumphant return to break down the stark contrast between the team’s spiral and resurgence. What are the biggest concerns so far this season? What should the Phillies do about the leadoff spot? What’s sparked Alec Bohm’s recent uptick after a slow start? Is there anyone in the farm system who could help in the outfield? And if not, what’s the best path to adding another bat and a reliable reliever?
