In today's episode, Connor reacts to the discourse among Philadelphia Phillies fans surrounding the lineup for 2025, and discusses why we shouldn't be overly worried about it at this point in the year. With a month to go until opening day, how many tweaks will we see to the plan for the regular season? Next, it's time to debunk a stat, or rather some reasoning drawn from a stat, that has been used as an argument to move Bryce Harper out of the 3rd spot in the lineup. Finally, with Kyle Schwarber playing 1st base in today's spring training action, why could this move be vital to the Phillies in the regular season?
