PHILADELPHIA — When Philadelphia Phillies hitters walk into the batting cages at Citizens Bank Park, they can view an electronic board listing categories the team is doing well and poorly in. It could be getting over from second or third, driving in runners in scoring position, two-strike production, ground-ball rates, how they’re handling lefties and righties — anything, really.“There’s so many variables and parts to being a good offense that you look at,” hitting coach Kevin Long said, “and I think we’ve done a really good job bringing up the good areas and the bad, and trying to get better in the areas that we know we can do better at.”The electronic board is one way Phillies hitters and coaches can reflect on how things are going in the day to day. It is a small piece of a broader offensive strategy — one that, under Long’s direction, has emphasized the need for traffic on the bases in recent weeks. Amid this, the Phillies have found something: They are walking more, being more selective at the plate and leading the league in OBP in August (.371 entering Wednesday’s game). None of these are new concepts, obviously, but a meeting ahead of the trade deadline allowed Long, his staff and the players to harp on all of it.Now, after a 4-1 win against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday, the Phillies are a season-best 12 games above .500 and riding a six-game win streak. This stretch has largely been powered by a more lively offense that has upped its OPS from .686 in July to .780 in August. There have been ups and downs this month — particularly the cumulative, seemingly long-lasting exhaustion after several extra-inning games at Citizens Bank Park two weeks ago — but this week, this team looks reenergized. It is something to build on as the Phillies chase October.And much of the Phillies’ current offensive success is rooted in what they discussed at that late July hitters’ meeting. While Phillies hitters and coaches meet each day to discuss the upcoming opponent, this was different. Long said he calls a bigger meeting about once a month to more broadly discuss what is and isn’t going well; this gathering fell into that category. There was good emphasized — the Phillies’ hard-hit rate, their slugging — but also plenty of talk on how to improve.“There was no screaming, there was no yelling, there was no pointing fingers,” Long said. “It was everybody to a man collectively coming together with a better plan and a better execution of that plan — whether it be following our approach better off a pitcher, making decisions a little bit deeper in the strike zone, if we’re going to chase — ‘Let’s chase here and not chase here.'”
