“We’ve just got to be better”: Phillies swept in New York Apr 24, 2025

Show notes

It’s still early, but the Phillies can’t play like this forever.

They need to get going. The Mets swept the Phillies this week at Citi Field. The Phils have lost 10 of their last 16 games. There are plenty of reasons why. The bullpen continues to struggle. There are cracks in the rotation with Aaron Nola 0-5 and Cristopher Sánchez’s left forearm hurting. The offense had just three extra-base hits in the entire series. We drill down on everything that is going wrong for the Phillies right now.

Change is good: Cristopher Sánchez is Phillies stopper Apr 18, 2025

Show notes

Cristopher Sánchez became a trendy pick in the spring for a top five NL Cy Young Award finish.

He pitched like one in Thursday’s 6-4 victory over the Giants. 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!

Chill: Bryce Harper sends message to Alec Bohm, Brandon Marsh Apr 16, 2025

Show notes

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.'”

What's happening with Phillies offense, Brandon Marsh? Apr 14, 2025

Show notes

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.

Alec Bohm takes early struggles to St. Louis Apr 11, 2025

Show notes

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! From making a plan to reaching your goals, make sense of your money with Citizens – official bank of the Phillies. You know who's been money this week? Yes, Taijuan Walker.

Dropping the ball: Phils lose series opener in Atlanta Apr 09, 2025

Show notes

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. We talk Citizens Money Moves -- and right now nobody is more money than Phillies designated hitter Kyle Schwarber. We talk about his hot start, and if the Phillies should be accelerating contract extension talks.

Beat L.A.: Phillies win series against “unbeatable” Dodgers Apr 07, 2025

Show notes

Title: Beat L.A.: Phillies win series against “unbeatable” Dodgers

Somebody asked J.T. Realmuto on Friday about playing the Dodgers and he joked that he heard they were “unbeatable.”

Well, the Phillies handed L.A. its first two losses of the season in a series win at Citizens Bank Park. Does it mean anything in the long run? No, but it showed skeptics that the Phillies can not only hang with anybody, but they can beat anybody. We talk about the series against the Dodgers, including Sunday’s 8-7 comeback victory. We talk about the good things like Nick Castellanos’ grand slam, José Alvarado’s latest dominant effort and more. But we also talk about a big concern in Jordan Romano.

Taijuan Walker, torpedo bats and Victus Sports CEO Jared Smith Apr 04, 2025

Show notes

The Phillies are 5-1 after Taijuan Walker pitched six scoreless innings on Thursday against the Rockies.

It was a great day for Walker, whose mother cried tears of joy from the stands at Citizens Bank Park. It hasn’t been an easy year for Walker, who has been booed in Clearwater, Washington and Philadelphia in just the past couple weeks. Walker was more than just a good baseball story on Thursday. He was a great human story.

We preview this weekend’s series against the Dodgers, and talk Money Moves. Specifically, torpedo bats! We caught up with Victus Sports founder and CEO Jared Smith, whose bat manufacturing business is in King of Prussia. He hand-delivered bats to Phillies players just an hour before Monday’s home opener.

LIVE: John Middleton joins the show! Apr 03, 2025

Show notes

The Phillies Show was LIVE from Citizens Bank Park before Thursday’s series finale against the Rockies.

We had our Citizens Conversation with Phillies managing partner John Middleton. We ask him about World Series expectations, what he said to the team last month in Clearwater, Bryce Harper being a Phillie for life, the team’s ability to add payroll at the trade deadline to the tush push (that’s right, the tush push) and more!
