Phillies Therapy

So, that Mets series wasn't great...but it's also far from the end of the world. Paul and Matt try to explain why this past weekend's series doesn't mean the Phils are a total postseason pretender, and kick off the process of relearning what it's like to really root (no cheering in the press box) for a team that's in the playoffs.

Paul and Matt, still feeling good for the moment, talk about the "Good Team + Bad Opponents" mix of the recent schedule and how that will change this week, the J.T. Realmuto revival, and the curious case of Bryson Stott.

Paul and Matt recap the Trade Deadline, from Robertson and Syndergaard and Marsh coming in, to Brown and Moniak and O'Hoppe heading out. How good should we feel about these moves? Did they do enough? Plus, what does this mean for the top trio of Abel, Painter, and McGarry now that they're staying put?

In their first post-All Star series, the Phillies were swept, at home, by the Cubs; Nick Castellanos was booed, then asked about it in a tense locker room interview (and post-interview) with NBC's Jim Salisbury; the offense and the 5th starter's spot each came up short; and we're still no closer to getting a good feel for what this team's trade deadline activity might look like. Things are going well at the moment.

Alright maybe not literally...but the Phillies' relief corps has been great, and a huge reason why they've stayed in the postseason hunt without Bryce Harper & co. Can they keep it up? Do they need help? How would we prioritize the team's trade needs, and whose first halves are we buying or selling?

All-Star selections are in, and the Phils have two pretty high-profile snubs accompanying their two electees. Will that matter? Plus, the trade deadline planning takes yet another turn as the starting rotation takes a couple of hits and the Phillies prep for running out a depleted roster in Toronto.
