The Phillies Show

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.
We also discuss Jesús Luzardo’s troubling start, Zack Wheeler’s return to the rotation, Aidan Miller’s chronic back injury and more.

Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola joins the show!
He’s having a charity poker tournament on Thursday night at Citizens Bank Park, which includes an auction of great stuff. We talked to Nola about the event, plus plenty of baseball. Why he loves throwing to J.T. Realmuto, what impresses him about Andrew Painter, how he got a little extra zip on his fastball this season, learning from Carlos Ruiz, Cole Hamels and much more!

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.

The Phillies have played only 12 games, but it doesn’t mean fans can’t be frustrated.
But should they overreact? We asked you for your Phillies questions, and you delivered once again. We tackled everything from the offense to the hitting coach to the lineup to Alec Bohm’s slow start to the hitters' approach to swinging for the fences … do we detect a theme here?

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. Realmuto, Zack Wheeler and Aidan Miller and share our thoughts on the late Davey Lopes.
