The Phillies Show

Edmundo Sosa made the catch of his life in the first inning on Tuesday night in Atlanta, but a huge mistake in left-center field involving both Sosa and center fielder Johan Rojas cost the Phillies the game. Ruben coached big league outfielders in Boston and New York. He breaks down everything that went wrong when they let a ball fall just feet in front of them, leading to a three-run homer from Sean Murphy.

Should Sosa keep playing in left field against left-handed pitching? We’ve got thoughts.

Title: Beat L.A.: Phillies win series against “unbeatable” Dodgers

Somebody asked J.T. Realmuto on Friday about playing the Dodgers and he joked that he heard they were “unbeatable.”

Well, the Phillies handed L.A. its first two losses of the season in a series win at Citizens Bank Park. Does it mean anything in the long run? No, but it showed skeptics that the Phillies can not only hang with anybody, but they can beat anybody. We talk about the series against the Dodgers, including Sunday’s 8-7 comeback victory. We talk about the good things like Nick Castellanos’ grand slam, José Alvarado’s latest dominant effort and more. But we also talk about a big concern in Jordan Romano.

The Phillies are 5-1 after Taijuan Walker pitched six scoreless innings on Thursday against the Rockies.

It was a great day for Walker, whose mother cried tears of joy from the stands at Citizens Bank Park. It hasn’t been an easy year for Walker, who has been booed in Clearwater, Washington and Philadelphia in just the past couple weeks. Walker was more than just a good baseball story on Thursday. He was a great human story.

We preview this weekend’s series against the Dodgers, and talk Money Moves. Specifically, torpedo bats! We caught up with Victus Sports founder and CEO Jared Smith, whose bat manufacturing business is in King of Prussia. He hand-delivered bats to Phillies players just an hour before Monday’s home opener.

The Phillies Show was LIVE from Citizens Bank Park before Thursday’s series finale against the Rockies.

We had our Citizens Conversation with Phillies managing partner John Middleton. We ask him about World Series expectations, what he said to the team last month in Clearwater, Bryce Harper being a Phillie for life, the team’s ability to add payroll at the trade deadline to the tush push (that’s right, the tush push) and more!

The Phillies won their first series of the season, taking two of three against the Nationals in Washington.

They could have swept the Nats with a victory on Sunday, but the offense struggled and Aaron Nola served up a couple home runs. Ruben, Jim and Todd break down the weekend, before Monday’s home opener against the Rockies at Citizens Bank Park. They talk Jesús Luzardo, Kyle Schwarber, Zack Wheeler and more.

The Phillies beat the Nationals in 10 innings on Opening Day, 7-3.

162-0 is still in play.

We dissect Opening Day because who doesn’t love digging deep into the first game of the season and trying to figure out what it might mean moving forward? From Alec Bohm’s latest clutch hit to the nasty shadows at Nationals Park to Jordan Romano’s sluggish debut to Bryce Harper’s and Kyle Schwarber’s homers to José Alvarado’s scintillating fastball, we’ve got you covered.

Opening Day is finally here.

Do the Phillies have what it takes to win the World Series? We share our thoughts. We provide bold predictions, too. But Jim really gets us thinking by asking us to make our predictions on everything from Phillies wins to the exact date of Andrew Painter’s Phillies’ debut.

This is the first anniversary of The Phillies Show. We share a few highlights from some of our favorite interviews over the past year: Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Zack Wheeler, J.T. Realmuto and Aaron Nola.

The Phillies play their final Grapefruit League game on Monday in Clearwater. Afterward, they’re flying to Philadelphia.

Opening Day is Thursday in DC.

The roster is almost entirely set. Ranger Suárez is expected to open the season on the IL, moving Taijuan Walker into the rotation. The Phils claimed right-hander Carlos Hernández off waivers from Kansas City. He’ll take the last job in the bullpen as Tyler Phillips got DFA’d. The last spot on the team is between Kody Clemens and Buddy Kennedy.

We dig into the roster and how Rob Thomson said he might use two lineups to open the season.

Shortly after the Phillies optioned Garrett Stubbs to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, he joined The Phillies Show to talk about a difficult day, how he plans to tackle his new job in Triple-A, what he will miss most in the Phillies’ clubhouse and more. 

Stubbs is one of the most popular players in the Phillies’ clubhouse in recent memory, and it’s not just because he curated the “Phils Win” playlist on Spotify and celebrated clinchers with the best of them. He worked hard behind the scenes, helping pitchers prepare for their starts and more. He brought a lot to the table, and some of those qualities showed during his chat with us.

Now we know why Phillies manager Rob Thomson hasn’t announced his rotation beyond Opening Day starter Zack Wheeler.

Ranger Suárez has a sore back again. We will know more in the next 24 to 48 hours, but there’s a chance he might not be ready to start the season. If Suárez can’t make his first turn (or more) in the rotation, who’s next in line? Yep, it’s Taijuan Walker. We talk about Suárez’s health, Walker’s ability to step up and more, including José Alvarado’s curveball and a Phillies-themed run through the NCAA basketball tournament bracket.
