"We're not used to this:" Phillies off to their worst start since 2015 Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

We’ll find out if this is rock bottom for the Phillies.

They just got swept by the Braves. They’ve lost five in a row, 10 out of 13 and just finished their worst nine-game homestand in almost 17 years. They have the worst run differential in baseball, too. Yes, it’s even worse than the Mets, who have lost 11 in a row. The Phillies are hoping it’s just a bad start, but maybe it’s more than that.

We discuss the homestand, Zack Wheeler’s return. Taijuan Walker’s spot on the roster and more.

It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza! Manco’s is the Best of the Best, and every week throughout the season we pick our best Phillies players, performances and moments of the week.

Accountability coffee: Digging into the Phillies' 8-10 start Apr 17, 2026

Show notes

It’s not good, folks.

The Phillies rank toward the bottom in baseball in most offensive categories. They have one of the highest ERAs in baseball. They rank as one of the worst defenses. They’re 8-10. They’ve been in worse spots before, but the longer this continues the more people wonder if they will dig out of it.

We talk about everything that’s gone wrong, and who shoulders the blame.

We also discuss Jesús Luzardo’s troubling start, Zack Wheeler’s return to the rotation, Aidan Miller’s chronic back injury and more.

“Just bad baseball:” Bryce Harper is frustrated following series finale Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

Bryce Harper made it short and quick following Sunday’s 4-3 loss to Arizona:

“Just bad baseball.”

What made it bad? Bad base running, a poor approach at the plate, just an overall lack of offense. We dig into the Phillies’ 7-8 start, and what is ailing the Phillies’ lineup. Plus, we look at who the Phils’ next cleanup hitter should be and more.

Restless and frustrated: We answer your Phillies questions Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

The Phillies have played only 12 games, but it doesn’t mean fans can’t be frustrated.

But should they overreact? We asked you for your Phillies questions, and you delivered once again. We tackled everything from the offense to the hitting coach to the lineup to Alec Bohm’s slow start to the hitters' approach to swinging for the fences … do we detect a theme here?

Nobody hits: Phillies finish road trip with 20-straight scoreless innings Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

What happened out west?

The Phillies opened a six-game road trip on Friday in Colorado by scoring seven runs in the first inning and winning 10-1. They scored two or fewer runs in four of the next five games, including consecutive shutout losses in San Francisco to finish the road trip. The Phillies are 6-6. It’s early, but the offense’s slow start has you wondering.

We discuss the offense’s malaise, plus provide updates on J.T. Realmuto, Zack Wheeler and Aidan Miller and share our thoughts on the late Davey Lopes.

A series win: Phillies show flashes in Colorado Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

The Phillies scored seven runs in the first inning in Friday’s series opener in Colorado, and everybody had to be thinking … here comes the offense.

The Phils won two of three this weekend in Colorado, but they scored only three runs in the final two games of the series. Fortunately, Jesús Luzardo pitched a gem in Saturday’s 2-1 victory. Unfortunately, Taijuan Walker did not in Sunday’s 4-1 loss. Takeaways from the weekend in both the hitting and pitching side?

It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza! Manco’s is the Best of the Best, and every week throughout the season we pick our best Phillies players, performances and moments of the week.

Plus, Zack Wheeler made his second rehab start on Friday, but he’s still looking for his fastball velocity.

Youth is served: Justin Crawford, Andrew Painter lead Phillies Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

Thank goodness for Phillies rookies Andrew Painter and Justin Crawford.

Painter led the way to a victory on Tuesday, when he made his MLB debut. Crawford’s walk-off hit in the 10th inning on Wednesday allowed the Phillies to win their first series of the season. They’ve provided a jolt to the Phillies, who are struggling offensively.

We talk about the kids, the Phillies’ slumping offense and why we think they’ll be OK.

Andrew Painter delivers in Phillies debut Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

Phillies fans had been waiting years for Andrew Painter’s Phillies debut. Painter had been waiting his entire life.

But Tuesday’s MLB debut was worth the wait. Painter struck out eight and allowed just one run in 5 ⅓ innings against the Nationals at Citizens Bank Park. What impressed us the most about Painter’s debut?

A lot of things. We dig into it.

A no-hit weekend: Phillies stumble in season-opening series Mar 30, 2026

They were no-hit through 4 ⅔ innings on Saturday. They were no-hit through five innings on Sunday. We found plenty to talk about, even though the offense did little. Plus, we look ahead at Andrew Painter’s MLB debut on Tuesday and more.
