The Phillies Show

The Phillies’ window to win the World Series with this core is closing, so they need to do what they can before the Aug. 3 trade deadline. They need to make trades. Baseball America wrote something recently that backed up Ruben’s take last week that the Phillies need to be bold … prospects almost never come back to haunt the teams that traded them. So the Phillies need to be aggressive, make trades and do what they can to give themselves the best chance to win. We also discuss the Phillies’ 3-6 homestand, and the upcoming series in Miami.

The Aug. 3 trade deadline is less than two weeks away, and the Phillies still need a bat, a reliever and a starter. What do they need the most? Honestly, you could make a strong argument for any one of the three. The Phillies have the lowest on-base percentage in Major League Baseball, so they need somebody who can get on base. The No. 5 starter’s spot has been a black hole since the beginning of the season, which is costing them wins and wearing out the bullpen. And with Brad Keller out for the season and José Alvarado struggling, who’s the bridge to Jhoan Duran in the ninth inning? We’ve got names to consider. More than 50, actually. Everybody from Mason Miller to Michael Wacha to Lane Thomas to Taylor Ward to A.J. Minter to Robbie Ray and more. This episode of The Phillies Show is powered by Monster Energy.

What in the world happened to the Phillies on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park? The Phillies made a couple base running blunders in the ninth inning in a 2-1 loss. Was the contact play on? Don Mattingly said Justin Crawford was supposed to run on any ball hit. Crawford said he wasn’t. But then J.T. Realmuto exercised a lapse in judgment and inexplicably got thrown out at second to end the game. Trea Turner showed what he can do defensively on Tuesday. He’s been showing what he can do offensively for more than a month. Zack Wheeler loves strikeouts again. This episode of The Phillies Show is powered by Monster Energy.

Two innings into Sunday’s series finale against the Mets, you just knew the Phillies had lost. But then that’s how it’s been for the Phillies’ No. 5 starter this year. The Phillies are 5-20 in games started by anybody NOT named Cristopher Sánchez, Zack Wheeler, Jesús Luzardo and Aaron Nola this season. Those pitchers have a combined 7.33 ERA. The Phillies’ No. 5 starter spot hasn’t won a game since May 18! Is Trea Turner finally on the right track again? Big, if true. This episode of The Phillies Show is powered by Monster Energy.

LIVE from Iron Hills Brewery! It’s the All-Star break, but Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber have no time to rest. They are competing in Monday night’s Home Run Derby at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies stars reached the finals in 2018 at Nationals Park. Can they possibly do it again? If so, who wins? The Phillies are only two games behind the Braves in the NL East.

The Phillies won another series, following Thursday night’s victory in Cincinnati. Jesús Luzardo was brilliant, striking out 11 in seven scoreless innings. But you know what else was good? Jonathan Bowlan and Jhoan Duran in the final two. The Phillies need more depth in the bullpen, however, following José Alvarado’s and Tanner Banks’ latest meltdowns on Wednesday. Bryce Harper is competing in the Home Run Derby. We expect Kyle Schwarber to be, too. Plus, Don Mattingly said he’d like to remain as Phillies manager beyond this season. Will he?

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler showed everybody on Tuesday why he believes he should be an NL All-Star. He struck out a career-high 14 batters in seven innings in a dominant performance against the Reds. Afterward, he made his case to join his six teammates at the All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park. Kyle Schwarber continues to hit Schwarbombs, although Tuesday’s in Cincinnati was an unusual one.

Bryce Harper was one of five Phillies to make the 2026 National League All-Star team. He will join Kyle Schwarber, Brandon Marsh, Cristopher Sánchez and Jhoan Duran. Does this make Harper elite again? Was there any doubt he wasn’t? We share our thoughts on each of the five Phillies All-Stars.

It was 105 degrees at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday afternoon. It’s been hot at the Bank all week. The Phillies’ offense scored 25 games in the first three games of a four-game split against the Pirates, including an eight spot on Paul Skenes. But Zack Wheeler was hot on Wednesday night when Don Mattingly pulled him from the game with two outs in the fifth inning. Wheeler talked about it on Wednesday night. Mattingly addressed it on Thursday.

The Phillies have two of the best pitchers in baseball in Cristopher Sánchez and Zack Wheeler. Jesus Luzardo has All-Star potential too. But the Phillies have growing concerns with Aaron Nola and their No. 5 starter. Should the Phillies prioritize a starting pitcher over a right-handed bat or late-inning reliever before the Aug. 3 trade deadline? Ruben mentions an outside-the-box trade candidate for the Phillies: old friend Ranger Suarez! Trea Turner and Justin Crawford are swinging the bat better. We discuss their progress. Jim also discusses an interesting story he wrote on Wheeler, who is keeping the door open for pitching beyond his contract in 2027. This episode of The Phillies Show is powered by Monster Energy.

The Phillies not only enjoyed another late-inning comeback on Sunday in New York, but they moved within three games of the Braves in the NL East. The Phils were 9-19 and 10 ½ games behind the Braves on April 26, which was Rob Thomson’s final game as manager. FanGraphs gave the Phils just a 6.9 percent chance to win the division. But they woke up on Monday 47-37 with a 33.2 percent chance to win the division. Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh continue to lead the way offensively. In fact, Schwarber and Harper both have a chance to finish the season with 400 home runs,  It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza!

We said it Wednesday: Don’t turn off the TV. Did you turn off the TV on Wednesday night? Thursday night? If so, you missed the Phillies becoming the first team in Major League Baseball history to hit a go-ahead home run in the ninth inning in three consecutive games. Bryson Stott did it Tuesday. Derek Hill did it Wednesday. Bryce Harper did it Thursday. We talk about what a series like this means moving forward. Also, is Brandon Marsh an All-Star yet?

The Phillies enjoyed a crazy comeback victory on Tuesday night in Washington, but we’re here to talk trades. What trades should the Phillies make before the Aug. 3 trade deadline? A reliable bullpen arm would be huge for this team. But so would a bat. The problem is: can the Phillies do both? Can they possibly acquire an impact reliever and an impact bat with a farm system that ranks among the bottom 10 in Major League Baseball?

“Just get us in.” Bryce Harper said that’s the Phillies’ motto for the 2026 season. Just get into the playoffs, and let’s see what happens. Well, if Kyle Schwarber and Harper hit like they hit this weekend against the Mets, it feels like anything is possible. They made history on Saturday with Harper hitting for the 11th cycle in Phillies history and Schwarber hitting three home runs. Harper fell a triple shy of the cycle on Sunday. Schwarber hit another homer on Sunday. He’s on pace to hit 62. It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza!

Andrew Painter has been optioned to Triple-A. So what does that mean for his future in Philadelphia? Jim Salisbury and Ruben Amaro Jr. dig into the decision and what comes next for the highly-touted right-hander. They also break down why starting pitching is the most pressing need heading into the trade deadline, what Dave Dombrowski should be targeting to address it, and how Alec Bohm's resurgence is changing the conversation around the Phillies' offense.

The Phillies struggled for wins at home early in the season, but are now 21-17 at Citizens Bank Park after starting off their latest homestand with a pair of wins against the Miami Marlins. The Phils scored 15 runs in those two games.  Brandon Marsh and Alec Bohm have continued to swing hot bats and Kyle Schwarber's home run total is up to 25. Of course, the Phillies remain a team that is built on their starting pitching, and Zack Wheeler and Jesus Luzardo delivered strong outings to start off the Marlins series, which concludes Wednesday with Andrew Painter on the mound. In this episode, the boys discuss it all. They also hit on reliever Brad Keller's injury, Trea Turner's struggles, and what the team's biggest trade deadline need might be. Finally, a quick look at the New York Mets, who come to town on Thursday to start a three-game series.  Hosts: Jim Salisbury & Ruben Amaro Jr.  This episode of The Phillies Show is powered by Monster Energy.

The Phillies lost two of three this weekend against the Brewers. Now, no team would have beaten Jacob Misiorowski on Friday night. He was unhittable and unbeatable. But the Phillies are 3-9 against NL division leaders: 1-5 vs. Atlanta, 1-2 vs. Milwaukee and 1-2 vs. Los Angeles. What does it say about this team?  Also, is it finally time to sit Trea Turner?

Adolis García is banged up, so the Phillies made a trade on Thursday for White Sox outfielder Derek Hill. But the Phillies need more help. Andrew Painter needs help, too. He’s struggling as a rookie. We spoke to 2008 World Series champion Chad Durbin about Painter’s issues -- Durbin can relate -- and how he can improve in the coming weeks. Chad also talks about Roy Halladay, Christopher Sánchez, Zack Wheeler and much more. A lot of great insight from Durbin, who’s one of baseball’s all-time good guys.

Jhoan Duran might be the most talented closer in Phillies history, but nobody is perfect. He blew his first save of the season on Tuesday night in Toronto. Duran had saved 16 consecutive games to start the season. Where do we rank Duran compared to past Phillies closers like Tug McGraw, Billy Wagner, Brad Lidge and Jonathan Papelbon?

The Phillies played 13 consecutive games without scoring five or more runs, until their series finale last week against the Padres. Then this weekend against the White Sox, they scored 20 runs to win another series. Everybody has been waiting for this for some time, but can it last?

The Phillies finally scored more than four runs in a game in Thursday’s victory over San Diego. It’s the first time they’ve done that since May 18! They continue to win under Don Mattingly, but it seems clear they will need a bat before the Aug. 3 trade deadline. But who? Or they could just go all-in and try to win with elite pitching.

Cristopher Sánchez's pursuit of Major League Baseball history continues on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. He will begin the game with a 44 2/3-innings scoreless streak. Former Phillies general manager and current Brewers executive Matt Klentak joined the show this week to tell the story behind the trade that brought Sánchez to Philadelphia in November 201. It wasn’t a major trade at the time. Far from it. But it will go down as one of the greatest trades in Phillies history. Klentak also tells stories about how the Phillies signed free-agent Zack Wheeler in Dec. 2019, acquired J.T. Realmuto in a trade in Feb. 2019 and more!

The Phillies went 4-2 on a road trip through San Diego and Los Angeles, which typically would be time to celebrate. But the Phillies’ struggling offense is a growing concern. They haven’t scored five runs in a game since May 18. They haven’t had 10 hits in a game since May 15. The Phillies are 21-10 since Don Mattingly became interim manager, but in that time they rank 29th in baseball with a .291 on-base percentage, 17 with a .693 OPS and 16th in runs per game (4.23).

Cristopher Sánchez on Wednesday passed Grover Cleveland Alexander for the longest scoreless innings streak by a Phillies pitcher since 1893. Sánchez’s streak of 44 ⅔ innings is the seventh-longest in MLB in the live-ball era (1920). It’s 11th in MLB in the modern era (1900). He can move into fifth place on the moder-era list with just four scoreless innings in his next start. Can he possibly pass Orel Hershiser? We take a trip down memory lane, talking about Hershiser, Carl Hubbell, Rob Thomson and more. ⚾ 🔔 Love the show?

The Phillies have made another change at the top. Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly dropped Trea Turner from the leadoff spot before Tuesday night’s 4-3 victory over San Diego at Petco Park. He flipped Turner and Kyle Schwarber in the 1-2 spots. Turner homered. Maybe it’s the start of something. The Phillies’ right-handed batters have been terrible this year, so they need something to happen quickly. We talk about those struggles, plus look at some right-handed bats to target at the trade deadline. Mike Trout?

We might be watching the Phillies’ best two pitching performances in a season in franchise history.   Christopher Sanchez tossed eight scoreless innings on Friday. He has a 37 ⅔-inning scoreless streak. Zack Wheeler tossed six scoreless innings on Saturday. Sanchez has a 1.62 ERA. Wheeler has a 1.67 ERA. If they keep this up, they could be the best 1-2 punch by any rotation in Phillies history. Better than Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee in 2011. Better than Jim Bunning and Chris Short in the mid-60s. Better than Steve Carlton and John Denny in 1983. Of course, you need more than pitching to win.

We spent Wednesday about three Phillies trending upward: Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott and Andrew Painter. But we’re spending Friday’s show talking about the very real concerns we have about Aaron Nola and J.T. Realmuto. Nola has a 6.02 ERA over 27 starts over the past two years. It’s no longer a blip on the radar. Nobody can point to Nola’s health, which they could last season. His struggles are troubling, especially when you remember he has 4+ years remaining on a seven-year, $172 million contract. J.T. Realmuto just signed a three-year, $45 million contract in January, but he’s struggling mightily in his age-35 season. We’re concerned. How concerned are you? 🔔 ⚾ Love the show?

The Phillies are 15-4 since they changed managers. Why? It starts with Zack Wheeler and Cristophe Sánchez. It continues with Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. Basically, their pitching has been excellent, and they’re getting big contributions from two of the game’s biggest starts.

Kyle Schwarber has homered in five consecutive games, helping the Phillies to a series-opening win on Tuesday night at Fenway Park. He leads Major League Baseball with 17 home runs. We talk about this recent run, and Zack Wheeler’s Tuesday night clinic, too. The Phillies have reached the quarter mark of the 162-game season. Where will they be when they reach the midway point on June 25? Will they have a NL Wild Card spot? Who will we be talking about for the NL All-Star team? And what will the Phillies be looking for as the trade deadline approaches? 🔔 Use our code for 10% off your next SeatGeek order* seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/TERRITORY10 Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.

The Phillies have righted the ship the past two weeks, but they have a long way to go. Still, it’s been encouraging to see Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper provide power atop the lineup, while Brandon Marsh is hitting so well that he’s answering questions about winning a batting title. We talk about the Phillies’ 10-3 run, Alec Bohm and Trea Turner taking it easy (and seeing results) and more!  🔔 It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza!

Alec Bohm is not only off to a bad start, but it’s one of the worst starts of any player in Phillies history. Don Mattingly benched Bohm on Thursday night. Is it a one-game thing? Maybe. We talk about the Phillies’ options to get Bohm back on track. But we also have to look at the Phillies’ internal and external options, if Bohm doesn’t turn around his season.

The Phillies are 7-1 under interim manager Don Mattingly, and you want to know why? They’ve literally gone from the worst rotation in baseball to the best rotation in baseball. We talk about the rotation’s turnaround, Bryce Harper’s elite start, what we’d discuss in Don Mattingly’s State of the Team meeting on Wednesday and more. 🔔 Parx ⚾️ Rothman Love the show?

The Phillies are 5-1 under interim manager Don Mattingly, and there are a lot of reasons why. The change shocked the clubhouse, and suddenly everybody has sprung to life. The offense has been better, the rotation has been better. We talk about what we’ve noticed from Mattingly in his first week on the job, the Phillies carrying three catchers and more.

So far so good for the Phillies since Don Mattingly became interim manager on Tuesday. The Phillies swept the Giants this week, including a doubleheader sweep on Thursday. The Phillies won both games on walk-offs, the first for the Phillies since 1998. Chase Shugart got both wins, the first time a Phillies pitcher had done that since Terry Adams in 2002. What jumped out about the sweep? What do we think about Don Mattingly? Are we finallly seeing life from the Phillies offense?

Tuesday was a franchise-altering day for the Phillies. Dave Dombrowski fired Rob Thomson as manager. He hired Don Mattingly, who was his second choice. (Bet the farm Alex Cora gets the job next year.) Dombrowski detailed Thomson’s firing and answered questions about his own job performance. Mattingly discussed his expectations. Thomson made himself available to Philly reporters one final time. What’s to come for the Phillies? We’ll find out. But they opened Mattingly’s tenure with a win.

Will Rob Thomson be the Phillies manager on Tuesday? Will Kevin Long be the hitting coach? The team’s 9-19 start has fueled this speculation. Thomson addressed his job status following Sunday’s loss to the Braves. Meanwhile, Dave Dombrowski declined to address speculation about Alex Cora’s unexpected availability, after the Red Sox fired him on Saturday. We talk a lot about the hot seat and who should be held responsible for this mess. To explore coverage, visit aspcapetinsurance.com/FOUL.

It’s hard to imagine how much worse things can get for the Phillies, but we’ll find out this weekend in Atlanta. The Phillies have lost nine consecutive games, following their first four-game sweep to the Cubs at Wrigley Field since 1973. The terrible run has Phillies manager Rob Thomson and hitting coach Kevin Long on the hot seat, while Dave Dombrowski’s job performance has come under scrutiny. After all, he signed both Nick Castellanos and Taijuan Walker, who the Phillies just released on Thursday. We talk about the losing streak, Walker and more.

The Phillies have been playing bad baseball for weeks, and if they keep playing like this it could cost Rob Thomson his job. Should it? We discuss Dave Dombrowski’s comments on Tuesday in Chicago, and his role in the Phillies’ mess.

We’ll find out if this is rock bottom for the Phillies. They just got swept by the Braves. They’ve lost five in a row, 10 out of 13 and just finished their worst nine-game homestand in almost 17 years. They have the worst run differential in baseball, too. Yes, it’s even worse than the Mets, who have lost 11 in a row. The Phillies are hoping it’s just a bad start, but maybe it’s more than that. We discuss the homestand, Zack Wheeler’s return. Taijuan Walker’s spot on the roster and more. It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza!

It’s not good, folks. The Phillies rank toward the bottom in baseball in most offensive categories. They have one of the highest ERAs in baseball. They rank as one of the worst defenses. They’re 8-10. They’ve been in worse spots before, but the longer this continues the more people wonder if they will dig out of it. We talk about everything that’s gone wrong, and who shoulders the blame.

Bryce Harper made it short and quick following Sunday’s 4-3 loss to Arizona: “Just bad baseball.” What made it bad? Bad base running, a poor approach at the plate, just an overall lack of offense. We dig into the Phillies’ 7-8 start, and what is ailing the Phillies’ lineup. Plus, we look at who the Phils’ next cleanup hitter should be and more.

What happened out west? The Phillies opened a six-game road trip on Friday in Colorado by scoring seven runs in the first inning and winning 10-1. They scored two or fewer runs in four of the next five games, including consecutive shutout losses in San Francisco to finish the road trip. The Phillies are 6-6. It’s early, but the offense’s slow start has you wondering. We discuss the offense’s malaise, plus provide updates on J.T.

The Phillies scored seven runs in the first inning in Friday’s series opener in Colorado, and everybody had to be thinking … here comes the offense. The Phils won two of three this weekend in Colorado, but they scored only three runs in the final two games of the series. Fortunately, Jesús Luzardo pitched a gem in Saturday’s 2-1 victory. Unfortunately, Taijuan Walker did not in Sunday’s 4-1 loss. Takeaways from the weekend in both the hitting and pitching side? It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza! Manco’s is the Best of the Best, and every week throughout the season we pick our best Phillies players, performances and moments of the week.
