Is this the Phillies' Opening Day lineup? Mar 07, 2025

Show notes

How much stock should you put into a player’s performance in spring training?

It depends. A player like Max Kepler, who is new and perhaps looking to impress after making swing changes? Maybe a lot. A player like Trea Turner, who is a perennial All-Star? Not so much. We talk about those players and others, plus we get into the Phillies’ Opening Day lineup and Jimmy Rollins being back in uniform as a guest instructor.

- 3:15 Reactions and overreactions on Max Kepler, Trea Turner, Aaron Nola, José Alvarado and Ranger Suárez
- 22:30 Is this the Phillies’ Opening Day lineup
- 25:50 Jimmy Rollins is back in Phillies camp. He talks Trea Turner, winning the World Series and his chances to make the Hall of Fame.

Best of the Best: Answering your Phillies questions Mar 03, 2025

Fun things are happening in Florida, but perhaps nobody is having more fun than Trea Turner and Max Scherzer. They got into Grapefruit League hijinks on Sunday in Dunedin.

We talk about that, but we also answer your Phillies’ spring training questions. Everything from Taijuan Walker to the bullpen to bench battles to blockbuster trades in July to prospect Gabriel Rincones Jr. to Trea Turner leading off and more.

Bryce Harper is OK, José Alvarado throws 100.7 mph Feb 28, 2025

Show notes

Breathe, everybody. Bryce Harper got hit on the right arm Wednesday by a 92 mph fastball, but he’s OK. He’s supposed to play Friday against the Red Sox in Clearwater.

We talk about that scare, but then dig into some interesting happenings this week in Florida. How about Kyle Schwarber playing first base? How about José Alvarado throwing 100.7 mph in his first Grapefruit League outing? How about a great spring debut from Phillies ace Zack Wheeler? And how about these Phillies lineups?

Should we ready anything into them as games get going?

Aaron Nola joins the show: talks pitching, shoes, poker Feb 26, 2025

Show notes

Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola has been one of baseball’s best, more durable pitchers for nearly a decade.

From 2017-24, he ranks first in baseball in innings pitched (1,432 2/3); second in strikeouts (1,590); and third in baseball in wins (92) and WAR (34.0). He’s helped the Phillies make the postseason each of the past three seasons.

Nola joined the show from Clearwater, Fla., to talk about the things that have made him successful – his curveball and preparation, for starters – plus, how he fulfilled a lifelong dream of having his own baseball spikes and his charity poker tournament on May 15 at Citizens Bank Park that will benefit veterans.

Go here to learn more about Nola’s charity poker tournament.

The Band’s Back Together in Clearwater Feb 24, 2025

Show notes

It’s been months since Ruben, Jim and Todd sat together in the same place to record an episode of The Phillies Show.

But the stars aligned Sunday in Clearwater, and the three chatted next to the half-field about Sunday’s Grapefruit League home opener against the Orioles at BayCare Ballpark. It included a monstrous blast from Phillies prospect Gabriel Rincones Jr., whose two-run homer scored Justin Crawford, a top Phillies prospect who had two consecutive good days at the plate.

They dug into the Phillies’ suddenly wide open bench battle, following Weston Wilson’s injured oblique, and more!

Wheels Up: Phillies ace Zack Wheeler joins the show! Feb 21, 2025

Show notes

Has any pitcher in baseball been better than Zack Wheeler the past five seasons?

If you look at the numbers, Wheeler is No. 1. And it’s not even close. Wheeler leads baseball with 25.4 bWAR and 24.7 fWAR from 2020-24. He is second in wins (59), second in innings pitched (829 1/3) and WHIP (1.03). He is third in ERA (2.94). He has a career 2.18 postseason ERA, which is the fourth-best (minimum 10 starts).

But what makes Wheeler tick? We learned a little more about Wheeler’s preparation, his demeanor on the mound and more in a recent conversation at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, Florida.
