Hardball Zen: Mason Miller, Phillies Fire & the Eye Test
from Speaking of Sports · host Grimley Financial Corporation
Chuck and Ken are back with a deep-dive MLB conversation that blends advanced numbers, old-school baseball instincts, and plenty of strong takes. In this episode, they dig into the Mason Miller phenomenon, debating just how sustainable — and believable — this level of dominance really is. From there, they shift into the Phillies’ recent form, the Nationals’ surprising offensive output, Adolis García’s defensive value, the Braves’ organizational culture, and whether Andrew Painter’s workload is being handled the right way. http://speakingofsportspod.com/https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sportshttps://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPodhttps://www.instagram.com/speaking_of_sports/https://www.tiktok.com/@speakingofsportshttps://www.youtube.com/@speakingofsports
