Listen in the appIt hasn't always been pretty, and it hasn't always been conventional, but the Phillies are off a to 6-4 start following Monday night's series opening comeback win over the Giants (in San Fran, of all places). Paul and Matt consider this team's sum of its parts, allow some room to believe in things going right, and recognize a pitching staff that's been far better than its ERA.
