How the Phillies traded for Cristopher Sánchez Jun 02, 2026

Show notes

Cristopher Sánchez's pursuit of Major League Baseball history continues on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. He will begin the game with a 44 2/3-innings scoreless streak.

Former Phillies general manager and current Brewers executive Matt Klentak joined the show this week to tell the story behind the trade that brought Sánchez to Philadelphia in November 201. It wasn’t a major trade at the time. Far from it. But it will go down as one of the greatest trades in Phillies history.

Klentak also tells stories about how the Phillies signed free-agent Zack Wheeler in Dec. 2019, acquired J.T. Realmuto in a trade in Feb. 2019 and more!

Adolis García and the Phillies' struggling offense Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

The Phillies went 4-2 on a road trip through San Diego and Los Angeles, which typically would be time to celebrate.

But the Phillies’ struggling offense is a growing concern. They haven’t scored five runs in a game since May 18. They haven’t had 10 hits in a game since May 15. The Phillies are 21-10 since Don Mattingly became interim manager, but in that time they rank 29th in baseball with a .291 on-base percentage, 17 with a .693 OPS and 16th in runs per game (4.23).

What do they do about Adolis García?

What is up with Aidan Miller’s bad back?

Simply the Best: Cristopher Sánchez makes Phillies history May 29, 2026

Show notes

Cristopher Sánchez on Wednesday passed Grover Cleveland Alexander for the longest scoreless innings streak by a Phillies pitcher since 1893. Sánchez’s streak of 44 ⅔ innings is the seventh-longest in MLB in the live-ball era (1920). It’s 11th in MLB in the modern era (1900). He can move into fifth place on the moder-era list with just four scoreless innings in his next start.

Can he possibly pass Orel Hershiser?

We take a trip down memory lane, talking about Hershiser, Carl Hubbell, Rob Thomson and more.

Phillies drop Trea Turner from leadoff spot, Kyle Schwaber moves up May 27, 2026

Show notes

The Phillies have made another change at the top.

Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly dropped Trea Turner from the leadoff spot before Tuesday night’s 4-3 victory over San Diego at Petco Park. He flipped Turner and Kyle Schwarber in the 1-2 spots. Turner homered. Maybe it’s the start of something.

The Phillies’ right-handed batters have been terrible this year, so they need something to happen quickly. We talk about those struggles, plus look at some right-handed bats to target at the trade deadline. Mike Trout? Christian Walker?

Sánchez and Wheeler might be best 1-2 punch in Phillies history. May 25, 2026

Show notes

We might be watching the Phillies’ best two pitching performances in a season in franchise history.

Christopher Sanchez tossed eight scoreless innings on Friday. He has a 37 ⅔-inning scoreless streak. Zack Wheeler tossed six scoreless innings on Saturday. Sanchez has a 1.62 ERA. Wheeler has a 1.67 ERA. If they keep this up, they could be the best 1-2 punch by any rotation in Phillies history. Better than Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee in 2011. Better than Jim Bunning and Chris Short in the mid-60s. Better than Steve Carlton and John Denny in 1983.

Of course, you need more than pitching to win. We also discuss the team’s offensive struggles during a 2-4 homestand.

What's behind Aaron Nola's and J.T. Realmuto's struggles May 22, 2026

Show notes

We spent Wednesday about three Phillies trending upward: Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott and Andrew Painter. But we’re spending Friday’s show talking about the very real concerns we have about Aaron Nola and J.T. Realmuto.

Nola has a 6.02 ERA over 27 starts over the past two years. It’s no longer a blip on the radar. Nobody can point to Nola’s health, which they could last season. His struggles are troubling, especially when you remember he has 4+ years remaining on a seven-year, $172 million contract.

J.T. Realmuto just signed a three-year, $45 million contract in January, but he’s struggling mightily in his age-35 season.

We’re concerned. How concerned are you?

Phillies' superstars have fueled the team's winning ways May 18, 2026

Show notes

The Phillies are 15-4 since they changed managers. Why?

It starts with Zack Wheeler and Cristophe Sánchez. It continues with Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. Basically, their pitching has been excellent, and they’re getting big contributions from two of the game’s biggest starts.

And wouldn’t you know it: the Phillies’ playoff odds have shot through the roof!

Show notes

We asked you for your Phillies questions, and once again you delivered.

Can the Phillies make the World Series? Should Don Mattingly change the lineup? What will the Phillies pursue before the Aug. 3 trade deadline? What are their options at third base, if Alec Bohm continues to struggle?

Schwarbombs, Schwarbombs, Schwarbombs! May 13, 2026

Show notes

Kyle Schwarber has homered in five consecutive games, helping the Phillies to a series-opening win on Tuesday night at Fenway Park. He leads Major League Baseball with 17 home runs. We talk about this recent run, and Zack Wheeler’s Tuesday night clinic, too.

The Phillies have reached the quarter mark of the 162-game season. Where will they be when they reach the midway point on June 25? Will they have a NL Wild Card spot? Who will we be talking about for the NL All-Star team? And what will the Phillies be looking for as the trade deadline approaches?
