The GM Meetings, that's what. Beyond that, the scope of moves is very much TBD. The Phillies have a significant list of things to accomplish, and a relatively constrained set of resources to tap into. What kind of groundwork could this week provide? ... more

It's likely no position group on this roster has more potential change looming over it than the outfield. Does Brandon Marsh get traded? Is Justin Crawford a viable center fielder? Is another long-term deal in the offing, or will things travel a diff... more

Dave Dombrowski and Don Mattingly met with members of the media en masse for the first time since the Phillies' elimination two weeks ago. There are no sweeping answers to the many questions surrounding what the Phillies' plan is this offseason, but ... more

Nothing left to do but wonder. The immediate aftermath of an elimination always leaves more questions than answers, and we don't attempt to answer too many of them; we're just kinda working through it. Sit in on our own therapy session as we lay the ... more

  • Great Spring Training Pod

    Nice pod on the spring training story lines. So much has to go right for this team to improve on last season and not just tread water

  • Too Much Whining

    Guys, what are you doing? You spent way too much time talking about the Harper unfounded trade rumor mill; and then you plug your own free agent speculation board? Instead of venting your frustration with the rumor mill industry give your audience some credit. Just state the reasons Harper isn’t going to be traded and then move on. It is more interesting to talk about why dombrowski went public (wrist surgery?) and the potential additions the Phils could make to the team. Matt’s analysis was bri... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NLWC Check-In: An Exercise in Legacy
Q: What do you make of this?
Gelb says the unusual home runs by Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Alec Bohm captured the season's unexpected swings, and he describes the emotional shock of the Phillies' comeback win.
NLWC Check-In: An Exercise in Legacy
Q: What does this team look like coming into Thursday and how do they continue to ride what they did late in Wednesday's game instead of letting it be like an emotional crash?
Gelb says the Phillies were still deciding their pitching plan after the game. He considers starting Zack Wheeler on short rest, Aaron Nola on full rest, or combining them, and says Jhoan Duran's availability remained uncertain.
Out of the Bunker, Into the Light
Q: Do they need to be that? Like, do you think they need to be that?
Boye says the Phillies' current roster does not reflect the more athletic, defense-oriented style seen among successful playoff teams, though he notes that the team's previous power-hitting approach had worked.
Out of the Bunker, Into the Light
Q: What's your faith in either him just going back to the well and throwing some money at some power hitters, or maybe some guys who are bounce back seasons, some throw some darts at a board for relievers?
Boye says the Phillies will need more than familiar spending strategies to build a more athletic, better-defending team, and that fully realizing that vision will take more than one offseason.
Big Wheel, Keep On Turning
Q: Before we wrap up here, Baumann, I want to give you a chance to tell us a little bit more about what you're working on lately over at FanGraphs, Derek Hill included, and maybe a little bit more about your newsletter, Wheelysports.
Baumann describes his Derek Hill coverage and Wheelysports work, plus upcoming pieces on cycling and other sports; he notes ongoing writing and a forthcoming article lineup, while highlighting the broader context of Phillies-centric analysis.
