Locked On Phillies - Daily Podcast On The Philadelphia Phillies

In today's episode, Connor discusses the chances that Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber could return from injury for game 1 of the Philadelphia Phillies series with the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight, and breaks down why it would be smart for the Phils to be cautious with their 2 stars considering the team's lead in the standings... And then, that thinking all goes out the window as news breaks during the episode that Schwarber and Harper will indeed be returning tonight! Immediate reaction to that news, and a preview of Phils-Dodgers. Finally, a look at the All-Star selections for the Phillies, and just how close they were to tying an all-time MLB record.

Rookie pitcher, Michael Mercado surrendered 5 runs over just 1.2ip and the Philadelphia Phillies Never recovered as they went on to lose to the Atlanta Braves 6-0 Sunday afternoon. 

Aside from their starting pitching struggling again, so did the Phillies’ offense. They mustered just 5 hits in the loss and have now scored just 1 run over their last two games. 

Mercado wasn't the only Phillies rookie pitcher to throw today. Tyler Phillips a South Jersey product made his big league debut in the 5th inning of Sundays game. He went on to throw 4 innings allowing 1 run on 3 hits while striking out 7, including the first 4 batters he faced..

The Phillies and Brave have faced each other six times this season with the Braves enjoying a 4-2 record in those games. The NL East rivalry now has 7 games left between them, another 3-game series in Atlanta set for mid-August and a 4-game series In Philadelphia set for the last weekend in August.

Segment 1: THREE BIG THINGS: 1) This offense was terrible today! What’s Stott doing swinging at the first pitch of the game from REYNALDO LOPEZ!?!? 2) The Phillies put the rookie starter in an awful place and he was unable to save them in this series! He got rocked! Couldn’t find the strike zone. 3) This Braves’ win give them HOPE that if they can just make it close, they could still win the division! 

Segment 2: The Phillies could be looking to add this OF from Oakland to help their cause - How about Tyler Phillips’ big league debut! - Checking the shows YouTube channel comments.

Segment 3: The Phillies have a day off Monday, then start a 3-game series at home with the Dodgers!

The Philadelphia Phillies lost to the Atlanta Braves 5-1 Saturday night! Phillies starter Ranger Suarez, who has been one of the best pitchers if not the best pitcher in baseball this season, struggled for a third consecutive start. Suarez went 5 innings allowing 5 earned runs on six hits including two home runs. He drops to 10-3 on the year. 

The Phillies bats did very little to try and pick up their ace. They recorded 7 hits, but not one of them went for extra bases. Kody Clemens tried to stretch a single into a double in the in the second inning and was originally called safe, but after the braves challenged it was ruled Clemens came off the bag.

The only run of the ball game for the Phillies came on an RBI single by Trey Turner in the third inning.

The Phillies were hoping to leave Wrigley with a 3-game sweep of the Cubs Thursday afternoon, but instead they were handed an embarrassing 10-2 loss. 

Cristopher Sanchez struggled in his first start since his complete game shutout against the Marlins last week. The reigning pitcher of the month gave up 7 runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in just 4 inning of work. The Cubs took Sanchez for 5 runs in the 3rd inning alone, marking the first time since September 30th of last season that a Phillies’ starting pitcher allowed a 5-run inning.

Every Phillie who pitched in this game surrendered an earned run. 

Phillies offense came by way of a Brandon Marsh RBI single in the 1st inning and a Nick Castellanos solo homer in the  4th.

The Phillies were able to get the final offensive surge in a see-saw game to beat the Cubs, 5-3! When the game was tied at 3 in the 8th inning, Trea Turner and Alec Bohm led of the frame with back-to-back singles. After a pass ball and a Nick Castellanos pop out, there were runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1. That’s when Edmundo Sosa hit a sac fly to center field for the go ahead RBI, followed by a Whit Merrifield RBI single for a little insurance run.

Prior to the 8th inning rally, Alec Bohm hit his 11th homer of the season, a 2-run shot in the 6th inning that traveled 415ft to left center field. In the 3rd, Rafael Marchan hit his 3rd home run, a solo shot. 

Zack Wheeler tossed 6innings of 2 run baseball giving up 5 hits and issuing 2 walks. However, despite the quality start, Wheeler is STILL looking for his 10th win of the season. When he left the game between the 6th and 7th innings, the Phillies led, 3-2. Matt Strahm pitched the 7th and surrendered a run on a Cody Bellinger RBI double, eliminating Wheeler’s chance at the win.

Trea Turner hit two home runs while Michael Mercado tossed 5 inning of 1 run baseball as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs, 6-4 Tuesday night! 

Mercado was making his first Big League start and looked more than ready for the moment. He was done after throwing 78 pitches, 51 for strikes over his 5 innings. He also allowed just 2 hits, issued 2 walks and struck out 4. 

Garrett Stubbs got the Phillies on the board in the 2nd inning with a 2-run double. Trea Turner followed in the 3rd with a 422ft solo homer, his 4th of the season. Turner hit another homer in the 5th with a 439ft 2-run homer to left center field for his 5th homer on the year. Turner added an RBI single in the 7th. 

The only big blemish on the Phillies’ evening came when Jose Ruiz took the ball to pitch the 9th and surrendered 2 hits, then a 3-run homer to Seiya Suzuki! The Phillies bullpen had sat down the last 16 cubs in a row, prior to Ruiz. Jeff Hoffman come on in relief and picked up his 7th save.
