The Phillies Show

The Phillies woke up on Sunday morning with their magic number to clinch the NL East at 1.

It’s still 1.

The Phillies lost to the Royals on Sunday, while the Mets beat the Rangers. The good news is the Phillies clinched their fourth consecutive postseason berth on Sunday, when the Giants lost. So, they’re going to the postseason four a four consecutive year. But they have much bigger plans than just that. We discuss the Phillies’ situation, Aaron Nola's latest big-inning, Walker Buehler, Kyle Schwarber's free agency and more!

What a week at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies swept the Mets in a four-game series, putting them in position to clinch their second consecutive NL East title as early as Sunday against the Royals. Jesús Luzardo allowed five hits to the first six batters he faced, putting the Phils in a 4-0 hole. But then Luzardo retired the next 22 batters he faced, while the offense came back.

We talk Luzardo, the Phillies’ suddenly productive outfield, Walker Buehler’s debut on Friday night and more.

It ain’t over til it’s over, but it’s pretty darn close.

Kyle Schwarber crushed his 50th homer of the season in Tuesday night’s victory over the Mets at Citizens Bank Park. The Philadelphia Phillies have a nine-game lead over the Mets in the NL East with 17 games to play. If the Phillies finish just 8-9, the Mets would need to finish 17-0 to pull into a first-place tie. Phillies fans remember 1964 (bad) and 2007 (good), but it’s hard to imagine something like that happening again in 2025.

We discuss Schwarber’s milestone homer, brilliant starts this week from Aaron Nola and Ranger Suárez, Bryson Stott’s improved play, Nick Castellanos’ clutch hits – and the mysterious Phillies player who broke wind during Nola’s postgame interview on Monday night.

Trea Turner has played so well this season that he could finish in the top five for NL MVP.

So, it was alarming on Sunday in Miami, when Turner immediately removed himself from the game after running down the first-base line. Turner strained his right hamstring. He will have an MRI exam on Monday in Philadelphia. We’ll find out how much time Turner will miss.

Who plays shortstop in the meantime?

Who hits leadoff?

We discuss.

A big day in Philly sports on Thursday. The Philadelphia Phillies beat the Brewers, 2-0, in the series finale in Milwaukee. They won the series. The Eagles won their season opener, beating the Cowboys, 24-20.

We asked you for your Phillies questions. You asked us about …

• The Phillies’ chances to win the World Series.
• What is our biggest concern about this team as the playoffs approach?
• What does the postseason rotation look like?
• Do concerns about Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola make the Phillies rethink Ranger Suárez’s future with the organization?
• Do the Phillies bring back Harrison Bader?
• Do the Phillies continue to roll with platoons in left field and right field and at second base?

Aaron Nola gave up five runs in the blink of an eye in Wednesday night’s loss to the Brewers in Milwaukee.

He has a 6.78 ERA in 69 innings this season. It’s the sixth-highest ERA by any Philadelphia Phillies starter (minimum 65 innings) since earned runs became an official National League statistic in 1912. It’s not good. It’s especially concerning with Zack Wheeler missing the rest of the season, and the Phillies having no clear alternative to be a right-hander in the postseason rotation.

We break down Nola’s struggles and more.

It was doom and gloom in Philadelphia on Thursday, following a three-game sweep to the Mets. But the Phillies just won three of four vs. Atlanta, while the Mets spit the bit against the Marlins.

The Phillies head into Labor Day with a six-game lead over New York in the NL East.

We discuss the Philadelphia Phillies big bounce back against the Braves, plus a few roster transactions that might have postseason-roster ramifications in Walker Buehler, Tim Mayza, Garrett Stubbs and more. We also explain why Nick Castellanos being subbed for defense in right field is a no-brainer, and why it wasn’t a sign of disrespect that Rob Thomson didn’t personally tell Castellanos that he was being removed for defense.

Emergency Schwarbcast!

Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber tied a Major League Baseball record with four home runs in Thursday night’s victory over the Atlanta Braves at Citizens Bank Park. He set a Philadelphia Phillies franchise record with nine RBIs. It was a truly special, fun night at the ballpark. We break down Schwarber’s night, what it meant to the team and what it might mean for his NL MVP chances.

Should Schwarber win the NL MVP Award? We think so.

What a brutal, brutal series for the Phillies.

They carried momentum and a seven-game lead in the NL East into Citi Field this week. But the Mets swept the Phils to not only tighten the division race, but they raised questions about the Phils’ ability to beat New York in the postseason. 

Because these teams could meet again in October.

We break down everything that happened in this three-game shellacking.

The Phillies traded two top 100 prospects last month to get Jhoan Duran from the Twins.

Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait are gone, but Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller and Justin Crawford remain in Philadelphia's Minor League system. We talked to Phillies player development director Luke Murton this week about those three, plus other top prospects like Gage Wood, Aroon Escobar and more.
