Digging into Jesús Luzardo’s struggles, talking Phillies days with Ed Wade Jul 25, 2025

Show notes

We’ve got a live show at Manco & Manco in Ocean City, N.J., at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, July 27! Stop by!

We open the show talking about Jesús Luzardo’s struggles. How concerned should we be? How will it affect the Phillies’ bullpen plans? Luzardo is the most obvious candidate to join the bullpen in the postseason, except he is getting hit hard pitching out of the stretch.

Former Phillies general manager Ed Wade joins the show! Wade and Jimmy Rollins are being inducted onto the Phillies’ Wall of Fame next weekend. We catch up with Ruben’s former boss, telling stories about hiring Charlie Manuel; drafting, developing and not trading Phillies stars like Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and more.

Cy Sánchez: Cristopher Sánchez and Zack Wheeler are MLB’s best 1-2 punch Jul 23, 2025

Show notes

Cristopher Sánchez put on a show on Tuesday night against the Red Sox, tossing the third complete game of his career, striking out 12, walking none and leading the Phillies to their first series victory since Fourth of July weekend.

How good is Sánchez? Right now, he’d probably finish third for NL Cy Young.

We talk about Sánchez’s dominance, Bryce Harper’s gutsy base running, first-round draft pick Gage Wood signing and Dave Dombrowski’s comments Monday about the trade deadline. Yes, we think the Phillies need a closer. But we also think the Phillies need a big-time bat. Eugenio Suárez anybody?

One move down, more to come: Phillies bring back David Robertson Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

Title: One move down, how many more to come? David Robertson rejoins Phillies

The Phillies are turning to an old friend to help their struggling bullpen.

They have agreed to a prorated, $16 million contract with right-hander David Robertson. The deal allowed the Phillies to keep their prospects for other trades, like for a big-time closer and maybe even a right-handed bat.

We discuss the Robertson deal, plus the need for a bat to protect Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber, especially with Alec Bohm sidelined the next few weeks.

We’ve got a live show at Manco & Manco in Ocean City, N.J., beginning at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 27. Stop by!

Five Phillies storylines for the second half Jul 16, 2025

Show notes

The Phillies are enjoying the All-Star break, but they return to action on Friday night against the Angels.

They’re a first-place team, but they’ve got issues. Then again, so do every team in baseball. We discuss our five key storylines for the Phillies in the second half.

The Phillies need Bryce Harper and the offense to take a big step forward.
The rotation has dominated in the first half. Can the starters stay healthy and keep it up? Who moves to the bullpen in September?
Will the front office address the bullpen? How far will they go to do it?
Will we see Andrew Painter and Justin Crawford in the second half?
Is there any chance the Phillies sign Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto or Ranger Suárez to a contract extension before the end of the season.

Highs and Lows: We look back at the Phillies’ first half Jul 15, 2025

Show notes

The Phillies entered the All-Star break with a half-game lead over the Mets in the NL East. That’s good. They have an historically dominant starting rotation. That’s really good. But they also have an inconsistent offense and shaky bullpen that desperately needs help before the July 31 trade deadline. We look back at the good and bad from the Phillies’ first half. We name our first half MVP and Cy Young. We discuss our biggest surprise and biggest disappointment. We discuss our 2025 bold predictions from our 2025 season preview show in March!

We even dig into the 2025 Draft.

Your July 31 trade deadline questions answered Jul 11, 2025

Show notes

The Phillies open a three-game series on Friday night against the Padres, but that’s not what’s on everybody’s mind.

It’s the July 31 trade deadline.

We know the Phillies need help in the bullpen. We know they could use help offensively. But ask several of your questions about what might happen in the next couple weeks.

Harp in San Francisco: "I'm really good." Jul 10, 2025

Show notes

San Francisco isn’t a great place for the Phillies.

It has been a house of horrors for more than a decade. It continued this week at Oracle Park, where the Phillies lost the series opener on Monday (thanks to a Phil Cuzzi’s strike zone), and Tuesday, when they lost on a three-run, inside-the-park home run. We talk about everything that happened, including Wednesday’s series finale.

Bryce Harper had a HUGE game.

Is a big second half from Harper on the horizon?

Hot Wheels: Zack Wheeler shows why he should start All-Star Game Jul 07, 2025

Show notes

If you had a ticket to Sunday’s series finale between the Phillies and Reds, you were lucky.

You got to watch Zack Wheeler pitch his first complete game since 2021, and come one Austin Hays homer from a perfect game. Wheeler showed again why he not only is one of the best pitchers in baseball, but why he should start for the NL in next weeks’ All-Star Game in Atlanta and why he could be headed to Cooperstown, N.Y., one day.

We talk Wheeler, Trea Turner not making the All-Star team, concerns about Ranger Suárez and Jesús Luzardo, Taijuan Walker rejoining the rotation and more!

It’s July-ish. Is it Andrew Painter Time? Jul 03, 2025

Show notes

The Phillies can make a strong argument to have multiple starting pitchers make the NL All-Star team.

Zack Wheeler and Ranger Suárez are candidates for NL Pitcher of the Month for June. Wheeler is a NL Cy Young candidate, too. Cristopher Sánchez has dazzled. Jesús Luzardo has bounced back from two terrible starts. But rookie Mick Abel’s recent struggles continued in Game 1 of Wednesday’s doubleheader. Does Abel make another start before the All-Star break? Or is it time to promote top prospect Andrew Painter, who is scheduled to start Thursday with Triple-A Lehigh Valley?

Brandon Marsh has been playing well since he returned from the IL in early May. Does his performance change how the Phils view the July 31 trade deadline?

Plus, who are the Phillies’ NL All-Stars?

They say Delco’s a lot … and they’re right. Find a full list of weekend events at VisitDelco.com, including free concerts at Rose Tree Park in Media and all the Fourth of July parades and fireworks shows!
