After their series loss in Arizona, the Philadelphia Phillies have reached a new low and the WIP Midday Show is ready to admit we might've gotten ahead of ourselves after the team's hot start.

00:00All right, so the weekend was a disaster. They lose in the walk-off Friday. They get blown out Saturday night yesterday

00:05a ho-hum 12-5 loss as the Dimebacks just circle in the bases all game long and Hugh, this is a

00:12You know, we always discuss, you know, big sample versus small sample

00:16It's a big sample now where the Phillies have not played good baseball and I'm ready to say something and I thought about it

00:21About a week ago or a week and a half ago. Don't do it Joe. No, and I held off Hugh

00:25I held off. Don't do it Joe. I held off. Don't do it. But I gotta say it now and I'm speaking

00:29I'm calling myself out more than more than anybody else because I did it, but I think

00:33I'm, not the only one

00:35I think we overrated the phillies. They're not as great as they look to start the season now

00:40Look, do I believe they're as bad as they are now? No, they they I still think there's a team here that could win the world

00:45series

00:46but at one point

00:47They were on pace to be the greatest philly team of all time. I said they were the greatest philly team of all time

00:52They don't look like that. They haven't for a long time now at one point in early may or mid-may

00:56We were like talking about them compared to the greatest teams ever in terms of how they started the season

01:01Hugh at one point they were 44-19 when we went to the game on wednesday

01:06Like june 5th, whatever the date was, right? We went to the brewers game

01:08I think it was the day you threw out the no a couple weeks for you throughout the first pitch

01:11We went to the game

01:12against the brewers

01:14Uh with the with our audience it was early in june. They won a low scoring game castellanos got a big hit. Okay

01:2044-19 they left for london

01:23That is an all-time kind of record since then they are 25 and 30

01:29They had a plus 104 run differential up to that point. They're minus 14

01:34Since then the phillies I I thought at some point this was an all-time great team the best philly team I ever saw

01:40They're not it doesn't mean this season is over here

01:42It doesn't mean they're a disaster forever

01:44But they're just not as great as I thought they were they are closer to what they've been the last couple years

01:48Which is good could be very good in spots. They're not great

01:52There's too many holes in the lineup. The pitching has gone backwards and it's 55 games now 55 games

01:58Which is a third of the season where they haven't played. Well, I think we overrated the phillies
