Joe Maddon is a three-time former Manager of the Year, manager of the hex-breaking 2016 Chicago Cubs, and one of the sharpest minds in baseball. He’s also a native Pennsylvanian. And he joined "Phillies Extra" to discuss the state of the Phillies, Kyle Schwarber's evolution into a complete hitter, how to pitch Bryce Harper, and much more.

As the offseason begins and the Phillies sort through their roster, they will focus on trying to improve an offense that went cold again in the postseason.

Realmuto's remarkable longevity behind the plate and upcoming free agency, and more.

It's always a good time to sit down with former Phillies slugger Greg Luzinski. But it's particularly timely this week, as the team marks the 45th anniversary of its first World Series championship. The Bull discusses his starring role in the 1980 NL Championship Series, his career with the Phillies, the current team's struggle to get over the postseason hump, the power of Kyle Schwarber, and more.

The Phillies' season is over. Larry Andersen is the perfect guest to help us make sense of what happened in the divisional round against the Dodgers because he has seen it all in 17 years as a major-league pitcher and 28 as a Phillies broadcaster.

The Phillies planned for Andrew Painter to make his major league debut this season. Instead, he posted a 5.40 ERA in triple-A. But after missing two seasons because of an elbow injury that required surgery, the 22-year-old top prospect stayed healthy for 26 starts and 118 innings, more than doubling his career total in the minors. Painter sat down with Phillies Extra this week in Allentown for a candid conversation about his season.

Nobody will forget Brad Lidge’s last pitch in the 2008 World Series. Seventeen years later, the Phillies have a closer with championship-clinching stuff.
