Locked On Phillies - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies' hot bats MUST have stayed back in Philadelphia as they drop game one of their 7-game road trip, 4-1 in Washington D.C.

Foster Griffin kept the Phillies’ bat SILENT for most of his 7.1ip allowing just four hits no walks while striking out nine. His only blemish was a solo homer to Brandon Marsh in the 7th.

Marsh was 0-for-his-last-14 against Lefties prior to his solo shot.  

Tim Mayza opened for the Phillies and allowed one run on two hits in the 1st inning. He gave way to Alan Rangel who went on to allow just one run on five hits over the next five innings. The game marked Rangel’s first big league action since April 22nd against the Cubs.

The Philadelphia Phillies dominate the Mets as Bryce Harper hits for the cycle and Kyle Schwarber blasts four home runs in a weekend show of power. Can this star-studded lineup fuel a legitimate World Series run despite lingering doubts and divisional pressure?

Connor Thomas breaks down the Phillies’ offensive explosion, the critical partnership of Harper, Schwarber, and Trea Turner atop the order, and the questions surrounding Andrew Painter’s rotation spot. Key discussion points include the Phillies’ ceiling in comparison to NL favorites like the Dodgers, Schwarber’s historic home run pace, and the team’s bullpen puzzle. Upcoming matchups against the Nationals and potential trade moves add intrigue to a team seeking consistency—and respect—amid a tightly contested NL East race. Will the Phillies’ firepower be enough to silence the skeptics and propel them deep into October?

The Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets, 6-2 to take two-of-three in their series, much thanks to the POWER of Bryce Harper & Kyle Schwarber.

Kyle Schwarber struck again, this time in the 2nd inning with a three-run homer 418 feet to the second deck in right field. Schwarber’s 29th homer of the season was also his 4th and third to the second deck in two days.  

Bryce Harper added to the Phillies offense in the 5th with a solo homer to right, his 17th homer of the season.  

Zack Wheeler started for the Phillies and tossed 5.2ip of two-run baseball while striking out seven. Wheeler was pulled in the 6th with one out after talking his way into one more batter while the bases were loaded. He got A.J. Ewing to ground into a fielder’s choice as the Mets’ second run scored. Jonathan Bowlan took over and got out of the jam by striking out Marcus Semien.

Bryce Harper hit for the Cycle by the 5th inning as Kyle Schwarber smacked THREE SchwarBOMBS and the Philadelphia Phillies DOMINATED the New York Mets, 15-3.  

Christopher Sanchez was his usual dominant self, tossing six innings of one-run baseball. He allowed a solo homer to Mark Vientos in the 4th inning and that proved to be his only blemish. Sanchez surrendered five hits and issued one walk on the night while striking out five throwing 91 pitches.  

The bulk of the Phillies' runs came in the 3rd inning when they took the Mets for eight runs on eight hits including TWO of Schwarber's homers, both of which reached the second deck in right field.

The Philadelphia Phillies fall to the Mets 6-4  in game one of their three-game set.  

Aaron Nola was done after five innings allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk while throwing 97 pitches with six strikeouts.  

The Mets added another three runs on Jose Alvarado in the 7th inning. Alvarado appeared to be out of the inning after allowing a go-ahead RBI single to Eric Wagaman. The lefty looked like he stranded runners on first and second with two outs after getting Marcua Semien to chase a 2-2 Cutter in the dirt and the Phillies began to walk off the field. Then home plate umpire Brian Walsh ruled it a foul tip that bounced off the dirt. The VERY NEXT PITCH, Semien put it off Monty’s Angle for a two-run triple.  

The Phillies runs came off two RBI base hits by Alec Bohm, a RBI single by Derek Hill and an RBI single by Justin Crawford. Phillies got a gift in the 3rd inning when Kyle Schwarber reached 2nd on a wild pitch third strike, the came around to score on one of Bohm’s base knocks.  

Schwarber had a chance in the bottom of the 9th with two on and two out, but hit a seed right at the right fielder Brett Baty.

The Philadelphia Phillies send Andrew Painter back to AAA after another rough outing—can he rediscover his form in time to help the rotation? Connor Thomas examines Painter’s struggles, including a soaring ERA, command issues, and shaken confidence, outlining what he must fix to regain his spot. The analysis dives into potential replacements like Alan Rangel and Seth Johnson, and why the Phillies’ pitching depth remains a major concern.

As the Phillies gear up to face the New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park, Connor raises the stakes: could this rivalry spark a Mets resurgence, or will the Phillies exploit their favorable schedule to chase down the Atlanta Braves in the NL East? Key topics include upcoming matchups, wild card standings, and the looming impact of this make-or-break stretch before the All-Star break. Can Philadelphia capitalize, or will old rivals cause trouble once again?

The Philadelphia Phillies fail to complete the sweep of the Miami Marlins as they lose game three, 12-4.  

Andrew Painter just can’t get it right. This time allowing six runs on six hits and two walks over just TWO INNINGS! He threw 56 pitches. It’s the fifth time this season Painter has allowed at least five runs in a game.  

Sandy Alcantara started for the Marlins and despite allowing four runs over his first two innings, settled in to toss the four innings without allowing a run and just one base hit.

The Philadelphia Phillies shake up the lineup with three lefties at the top, crushing the Miami Marlins 8–2 and reigniting debate over Trea Turner’s spot as leadoff. Can the Phillies sustain this bold strategy, or do playoff-caliber bullpens pose a bigger threat to this lefty-heavy approach? Connor Thomas provides sharp analysis on Turner’s lingering struggles, the mental side of demoting a star, and why key offensive adjustments may be looming as the season advances.

Pitching depth takes center stage as Jesus Luzardo dominates his former team, but concerns mount for Andrew Painter amid ongoing rotation uncertainty. Injury updates on Brad Keller shake up the bullpen hierarchy, paving the way for Orion Kerkering to step into high-leverage roles. Will these changes steady the Phillies' postseason push, or expose vulnerabilities down the stretch? Dive into the pivotal storylines shaping the Phillies’ path as the NL playoff race intensifies.

The Philadelphia Phillies blank the Miami Marlins 7-0 behind Zack Wheeler’s dominant return. With a 2.01 ERA and .846 WHIP, Wheeler’s consistency since his thoracic outlet syndrome recovery raises the question: Is he the National League’s most underrated ace?

Connor Thomas spotlights the Phillies’ surging offense, including JT Realmuto’s home run and Gabriel Rincones Jr.’s first MLB hit—also a homer. Plus, Brandon Marsh’s All-Star voting surge puts him in position to start for the National League, while fans are urged to keep voting to lock in his place. The show also counts down the top 10 Phillies moments since 2022, breaking down key events like Rhys Hoskins’ iconic bat spike, Cristopher Sanchez’s electric month, and Bryce Harper’s “swing of his life.” Can the Phillies ride star pitching and offensive depth toward another postseason run?
