Phils in Survival Mode!

from 4th and Done Hosted by 4th and Done

The Phillies are one win away from the NLDS, and Wayne and Ryan break down exactly why the margins are so razor-thin right now. From the controversial Duran usage and the bullpen construction behind it to the defensive mistakes, unlucky hops, and the kind of “baseball gods” moment that can haunt a season, this conversation captures the tension of a team trying to survive one game at a time.Wayne and Ryan dig into the biggest turning points from the last two games, including Bryce Harper’s iconic home run, Alec Bohm’s surge, Andrew Painter’s surprise impact, and the recurring question of whether Don Mattingly is squeezing enough out of a roster that still has clear holes. They also get into the lineup decisions, the running game, the missing production from key spots, and why this matchup feels like survival mode more than a normal playoff series.You'll also hear them tackle the Eagles' biggest issues heading into the Rams game, from Jalen Hurts missing open receivers to the offensive line problems that keep showing up in the same place. They break down the Puka Nacua and Davante Adams threats, the concerns around Jalen Carter and Zack Baun, and whether the offense can finally start fast for onceBeyond Philly, the conversation widens to the rest of the NFL and college football, including the Texans-Cowboys matchup, the chaos of the early-season standings, and Penn State’s frustrating showing against Wisconsin.
