Thumbs Down, Phillies Up. A lot of games have passed since the last pod. 26 games left in the season. Phillies are current 4 games over .500 at 70-66. They need to win at least 85 games to make the playoffs and all we want is the division! We roast the Mets about booing their own fans. We have a new segment as we go through some of the last few series called "Being Blunt with Brandon". We'll work on the title. It's Morphin' Time! Ranger doing it all! Guy talk, where we talk about some guys currently on the roster/staff and what their futures could possibly look like. More in a future episode. And we end on some dad jokes. Enjoy...and PLAY BALL!

The Phillies are Not-So-Perfect in this one as we discuss the last couple series between the D-Backs and the Padres. The Phillies got swept by THE worst team in baseball and then turn it around to win 2 of 3 against the Padres who are a top team in the league with Tatis Jr. at the helm. We try to stay a little optimistic though and not talk about the D-Backs series because it was just sad to say the least. Matt Moore somehow gets another will while Aaron Nola throws what we are 150% convinced would have been a perfect game while striking out his brother in front of their proud papa. Unfortunately, the Phillies defense heard a perfect game was brewing and we all know what happened next. We also talk about the rest of the schedule even though we're not supposed to talk about the schedule, but the Phillies can optimistically win 22 of the 38 games left and win the division by beating the 3 worst teams in the league. We've all been down this road before. Hopefully it ends differently this time. And we finish with some MVP race talk along with your favorite Dad Jokes. Enjoy...and PLAY BALL!

What are we doing here, Phillies? We got Cole Hamels going to the Dodgers and now he's done. Unfortunately. Phillies injury updates with Eflin hopefully making his return along with Freddy Galvis and Sam Coonrod. Hopefully we see Rhys Hoskins coming back soon. The Braves are hot. CORN! Field of Dreams game recap with the White Sox and Yankees. The umpires suck in the last couple series for the Phillies. The Phils lose 4 of 6 in the Dodgers and Reds series. On to the next one with the Arizona Diamondbacks which should be a winnable, sweepable series. Then we finish up with some dad jokes. Enjoy...and PLAY BALL!

Zach Wheeler and Alumni Weekend. This past week has been one for the ages for the now 1ST PLACE Phillies. They are currently boasting an 8-game win streak along with 2 sweeps against a depleted Nationals team and a Mets stacked roster (Minus Lindor). Reminds us of last year when Bryce Harper said they gotta win 9 of 10 doesn't it? The Phillies will look to keep it rolling with the real test coming with the next two series versus the Dodgers and Reds to finish up the Homestand. However, the 'Bank' is filled and the Phillies are now 2 games up on the Braves and 2.5 games ahead of the Mets after a great Alumni weekend where the Phillies organization honored Manny Trillo, the late David Montgomery and Roy 'Doc' Halladay. Enjoy...and PLAY BALL!

WE'RE BAAAAAACK! We return from our hiatus of work and taking care of a newborn. 3 1/2 games behind the Mets. Trade Deadline. Phils get a starting pitcher and closer along with the return of Freddy Galvis! Our 1-Year Anniversary passed by of July 22nd. What a ride. Phillies MLB Draft review. Possible Cole Hamels Reunion. And we discuss our predictions for the remainder of the season with the Phillies having the 2nd easiest schedule of the second half. Thank you all for sticking with us through our break. The wait is over. Enjoy, and PLAY BALL!

We're back! It's been a long time coming. Apologies for the long time off, but we welcome a new member of the Is It 7:05 Yet? Podcast family as Brandon is now a proud Papa! We focus on Brandon's Dad status for a bit and then we get right back in the "swing" of things with Phillies baseball! The Phillies recently won three series in a row. Most recently with a 2-game sweep of Karen Boone and the Yankees. Three walkoffs in a row, does Hector Neris still deserve the Closer spot, All-Star Phillies, Ranger Suarez, and how the Phillies are fairing at this point in the season. We also deem it necessary to have a little Sixers talk with how well they are playing in the postseason. Trust The Process, enjoy, and PLAY BALL!

Tonight, we recap the last of the dreadful Marlins series along with the weekend Red Sox series. We also welcome on, or we get welcomed onto a Red Sox platform covered by Ralph (Bowski) from Sunday League: The Podcast and his own Red Sox Podcast, It's Soxy Time. Great conversation with Ralph discussing Phillies vs. Red Sox and just baseball in general. We're all just baseball guys being dudez. The progress of each of our teams, this coming year's playoffs and last year's (did it count?). We also talk about the new rules that may or may not be ruining baseball. And we also bring up our fantasy teams, which no one cares about. Enjoy...and PLAY BALL!

No baby yet. Any day now. We are freaking out over here! We would first like to apologize for the hiatus of the pod as it has been a full week since the last episode. We've been busy in our other lives. However, this one is full of juicy content starting with basketball talk. Brandon is still peeved about the "iconic" photo of a Celtics player who shall remain nameless. Mick Abel has his first 3 career starts in the minors in Clearwater. This is now the Vinny Velo and Nick Maton Show since they stole the show in Buffalo/Dunedin/Toronto. Bryce Harper's deceiving stat-line. The fun start to the Marlins series. We hate Nick Pivetta. And the unspoken rules of baseball were broken again. Enjoy...and PLAY BALL!

IT’S OUR 50TH EPISODE!!! How did we make it this far?! On today’s pod, we start with Bad Luck Brandon since it continues to be a thing. Phillies increasing capacity on May 21st, then again to FULL CAPACITY June 12th!!! We talk power rankings along with the 3 game series against the Nats. The first road win series since 2019! Hallelujah! Holy shit. Where’s the tylenol? NL East standing still tight but starting to pull apart. And Brandon has some talking points to bring up about our fantasy team, weird baseball videos, and Bryce Harper being as underrated as they come. Enjoy...and PLAY BALL!

Happy Mother's Day Everyone! We are expecting on May 19th at 7:05...roughly. The Phillies complete the elusive 4-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers as Zach Wheeler deals in a Complete Game Shutout. Just have to say, Wheeler has been a stud for the Phillies. Phillies have an offensive explosion to start off the Braves series in Atlanta. However, they implode in game two with bullpen pitching blowing leads and saves. And the man on second rule still being one of the dumbest new rules from last season. The return of Bad Luck Brandon is a thing as he tunes in to game 3 of the Braves series. Sorry Phillies fans. Analytics plague the Phillies whenever they play the Braves and hopefully they can turn it around as they head to Washington to play the Nats. Tight NL East standings. Baseball Gods do not want the Mets to play. T-Shirts possibly coming soon. Frederick!!! Enjoy...and PLAY BALL!
