Wathan is one of Major League Baseball’s best third-base coaches, and we’re confident you’ll see why after listening to this show.

You’ll also see why Wathan keeps getting interviewed for managerial vacancies.

The Phillies clinched a first-round bye on Wednesday night, and they did it in historic fashion.

They smashed a franchise-record eight home runs in a victory over the Marlins. Edmundo Sosa hit three, becoming the first shortstop in Phillies history to homer three times in a game. Kyle Schwarber hit two, moving within two homers of tying Ryan Howard’s franchise-record 58 homers in a season. Bryson Stott, Alec Bohm and Otto Kemp also homered.

We also talk about the craziness in the NL Wild Card race, and Jesús Luzardo’s impressive first season in Philadelphia.

The Phillies have six games to play in the 2025 regular season. They already won the NL East. They almost certainly will clinch a first-round bye.

So, what’s there to watch? Plenty. How about Trea Turner rejoining the lineup? How about the offense getting on a roll before it enters the postseason? How about a little more certainty from the Phillies’ bullpen before Jhoan Duran enters the game.

Ryan Howard hit a franchise-record 58 home runs for the Phillies in 2006, when he won the National League MVP Award.

So, who is better to talk about Kyle Schwarber’s 50-homer season than The Big Piece? Howard joins the show! He not only talks about Schwarber’s big season, but he remembers his own 58-homer campaign. Plus, he talks about The 6-1-1 Podcast that he co-hosts with Jimmy Rollins, Philadelphia’s chances to win a World Series this year, his funniest Chase Utley story and much, much more!

The Phillies clinched the NL East on Monday. They will almost certainly clinch a first-round bye in the coming days, too.

The Phils are thinking about the NLDS. They already shuffled their rotation so Cristopher Sánchez will start Tuesday against Miami and Sept. 28 in the regular-season finale against the Twins, which will allow him to start Game 1 of the NLDS on Oct. 4.

Who follows Sánchez?

How many pitchers should the Phillies carry in the NLDS? If they carry only 12, who’s the extra bench player?

The Phillies popped champagne bottles, sprayed beer and smoked cigars on Monday night at Dodger Stadium. They celebrated their second consecutive NL East championship, which they clinched following a 10-inning victory over the Dodgers.

Kyle Schwarber homered. Bryce Harper homered. But so did role player Weston Wilson as the bottom of the lineup came up big. Jhoan Duran blew a save in the ninth, but another big midseason pickup, David Robertson, got the save in the 10th. It was a resilient team effort, which could bode well for the postseason.

We talk about the celebration and what comes next for the Philadelphia Phillies.
