Change is good: Cristopher Sánchez is Phillies stopper

He struck out 12 batters, the most by a Phillies left-hander since Cole Hamels struck out 13 in his no-hitter against the Cubs in his final start for the organization in 2015.We discuss Sánchez’s dominance but also look at the Phillies’ jumbled outfield situation, the upcoming Marlins series and more, including a few of your questions!Upgrade your wardrobe and save on @trueclassic at trueclassic.com/FOUL! #trueclassicpodGet 20% off your first Slab Pack or card purchase by going to ArenaClub.com/FOUL and use code FOUL.Love The Phillies Show?

Chill: Bryce Harper sends message to Alec Bohm, Brandon Marsh
In case you missed it, Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh have been going through a terrible start to the 2025 season.But both had important at-bats in Tuesday night’s 6-4 victory over the Giants. Marsh’s sacrifice fly in the second inning gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead. Bohm’s base hit in the sixth inning gave the Phillies the lead. Afterward, Harper had some philosophical thoughts about players struggling in the big leagues:“I just want [Bohm] to enjoy the game. Life could be a lot harder. Life can be a lot tougher. We get to play this beautiful game every day. I was standing in the on-deck circle in the third inning and I was thinking about it, 'Man, it’s a great game we get to play.' Obviously, you’re going to get your ups and downs in life and in the season. It’s a hard thing to do. It is. But at the end of the day, we’re all healthy, we’re all strong. Just go out there and enjoy it because it’ll go quick and you’ll start thinking to yourself, 'Why did I take it so serious? And it’s gone now.'”Schedule your PXG golf club fitting today at PXG.com/foul to save up to 20% on your entire order.

What's happening with Phillies offense, Brandon Marsh?
Everybody was riding high a week ago, then the Phillies went 2-4 in Atlanta and St. Louis.It ended with a 7-0 loss on Sunday in St. Louis. A lot of things didn’t go right for the Phillies on the road. Mostly, the offense lacked punch. One of the culprits was Brandon Marsh. He’s hitless in his last 26 at-bats. We discuss the road trip, Marsh’s struggles and more.It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza!

Alec Bohm takes early struggles to St. Louis
Alec Bohm hit a rocket to Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies in his first at-bat on Thursday night in Atlanta.Albies caught it. Bohm flipped his bat. Bohm went 0 for 5 in the Phillies’ 4-2 loss in 11 innings at Truist Park. He is batting .160 with no home runs, three RBIs and a .356 OPS in his first 11 games. He is struggling. It shows. He has looked frustrated on the field. He twice declined to speak to reporters before the game. We get into Bohm’s struggles, and some of the overreaction to it.We also talk about the state of the bullpen, including an encouraging bounce back from Jordan Romano.This week’s episode is brought to you by Citizens!

Dropping the ball: Phils lose series opener in Atlanta
Edmundo Sosa made the catch of his life in the first inning on Tuesday night in Atlanta, but a huge mistake in left-center field involving both Sosa and center fielder Johan Rojas cost the Phillies the game. Ruben coached big league outfielders in Boston and New York. He breaks down everything that went wrong when they let a ball fall just feet in front of them, leading to a three-run homer from Sean Murphy.Should Sosa keep playing in left field against left-handed pitching? We’ve got thoughts.This week’s episode is brought to you by Citizens! From making a plan to reaching your goals, make sense of your money with Citizens – official bank of the Phillies.
