ALL STAR: Why Philadelphia Phillies’ Brandon Marsh DESERVES National Spotlight For His Play So Far

The Philadelphia Phillies surge as Brandon Marsh stakes his claim as a National League All-Star, outshining even Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber at the plate. Is Marsh the most overlooked star in baseball, and can fan support propel him to All-Star starter status with the Midsummer Classic headed to Citizens Bank Park? Connor Thomas breaks down Marsh's red-hot season, Cristopher Sanchez’s historic scoreless innings streak, and Aaron Nola’s recent rebound in the rotation. Key discussion points include the Phillies’ offensive struggles, how critical pitching depth is sustaining the team, and whether Sanchez can climb into the MLB record books. As Philadelphia eyes a fifth straight win over the Padres and looks to ignite its bats against Walker Buehler, Connor Thomas also questions how the Phillies should manage Sanchez’s workload with history on the line. Can the Phillies’ pitching keep up its dominance, and will Marsh get the All-Star recognition he deserves?   00:00 Brandon Marsh All-Star Case 12:01 Aaron Nola’s Recent Form 22:12 Cristopher Sanchez Scoreless Streak   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
