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

There is no easy, concise way to describe this Phillies team, in equal parts talent-laden and flawed, underachieving yet capable of heroics. That heroism, nearly up and down the roster, helped propel the Phillies to a wild Game 2 win and force a deci... more

Familiar foes in a best-of-three sprint. Will the Phillies survive the end of Red September and bring about another Red October?

By golly, they did it. It was a close call! It was 500% more frustrating than it probably needed to be! But the Phillies are back in the playoffs, and heading to Atlanta once more to face the Braves. A best-of-three awaits, and there's a Chris Sale-s... 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.

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.
The Season That Was, and the Season to Come
Q: What did you get this sense from Bryce about how he's had to process all of this?
Bryce expressed his feelings on the pressures he's faced and the need to be more selective in his hitting approach.
The Concern-o-Meter
Q: What should we think about Jesus Lizardo in his last two starts?
While his last two starts have been poor, his overall performance earlier in the season has been strong, so concern remains low.
The Concern-o-Meter
Q: How concerned should the Phillies be with finding the solution for the lead-off spot here for the rest of the season?
Concern is high as Bryson Stott is not performing well as lead-off hitter, indicating that a change is necessary.
Stayin' Alive in '25
Q: Is there enough in the bullpen to support the rotation?
Yes, the rotation has been beefed up to help the bullpen, but there's uncertainty about the bullpen's effectiveness compared to last year.
