What's Wrong with the Phillies Right Now? | Hittin' Season

The Phillies have the worst run differential in baseball. They can't hit. They can't pitch. They can't field. And they're losing ground to the Braves in the NL East. What's wrong? Is manager Rob Thomson on the hot seat? And how much worse are the Mets? On an all new Hittin' Season, hosts John Stolnis, Liz Roscher and Justin Klugh cover all the bases.
