The Phillies finished the first half with a stinker on Sunday against the A’s, but with a franchise-record 62 wins at the All-Star break.

It couldn’t have gone much better.

Ruben, Jim and Todd spend the first day of the All-Star break looking back at the Phillies’ historic first half. They dig into the special performance from the rotation, but they can’t help but express concerns about its health.

They name the Phillies’ first half MVP and Cy Young. No surprises there. They discuss first-half disappointments, too.

But no matter how hard they tried to focus on the first half, they couldn’t help but think about the future, especially after watching A’s slugger Brent Rooker and A’s closer Mason Miller impress this weekend at Citizens Bank Park.

What would it take to get one of them?

What would it take to get both?
