The Phillies Show

Where do the Phillies’ roster battles stand with Opening Day 10 days away? It is going to be Rafael Marchán or Garrett Stubbs as backup catcher? Is the bench going into include Kody Clemens and Buddy Kennedy? Does Johan Rojas make the team, even though the Phillies want to see if Brandon Marsh can be an everyday player? What about the last bullpen job, assuming Matt Strahm opens the season on the injured list?

It’s “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza! Manco’s is the Best of the Best, and every week throughout the season we pick our best Phillies players, performances and moments of the week. This week, Jim talks about the entire pitching staff, Todd shouts out Trea Turner and Ruben gives José Alvarado some love.

Maybe Citizens Bank Park isn’t a homer park after all. Todd wrote a story about it. The guys discussed it.

Trea Turner is probably going to be the Phillies’ leadoff hitter on Opening Day.

He came to camp trying to make better decisions at the plate, and trying to hit the ball to the opposite field more. He hasn’t seen many positive results so far, although Thursday he homered, walked and had a sacrifice fly. We talk about Turner’s spring and comments hitting coach Kevin Long recently made about Turner’s performance in Florida.

Would Bryce Harper really move to the outfield this season, if the Phillies can acquire a power-hitting first baseman? He says yes.

Plus, Jimmy Rollins and Ed Wade will be inducted onto the Wall of Fame this summer.

Opening Day is only 15 days away.

So much has happened, but so much needs to be decided. We asked you for your questions, and you asked a bunch. You asked about bench battles, Jordan Romano as the closer, Bryson Stott’s chances to bounce back, possible contract extensions for Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto and Ranger Suárez and more.

We talked food, too.

Start, bench, cut: cheesesteak, friend grouper sandwich, juicy lucy. We gave our choices.

Lot’s of fun in this episode!

The Phillies have had a pretty quiet camp in Clearwater, Fla., but they’ve just had their first hiccup.

All-Star lefty Matt Strahm is experiencing a left shoulder issue, which could force him to open the season in the injured list. Strahm had an MRI exam, which revealed no structural damage, but an impingement has caused inflammation. He is not going to throw until Thursday at the earliest. We talk about Strahm’s injury and what it might mean for the bullpen in the short term.

Plus, the latest on Alec Bohm, Ranger Suárez, Taijuan Walker and more.

How much stock should you put into a player’s performance in spring training?

It depends. A player like Max Kepler, who is new and perhaps looking to impress after making swing changes? Maybe a lot. A player like Trea Turner, who is a perennial All-Star? Not so much. We talk about those players and others, plus we get into the Phillies’ Opening Day lineup and Jimmy Rollins being back in uniform as a guest instructor.

- 3:15 Reactions and overreactions on Max Kepler, Trea Turner, Aaron Nola, José Alvarado and Ranger Suárez
- 22:30 Is this the Phillies’ Opening Day lineup
- 25:50 Jimmy Rollins is back in Phillies camp. He talks Trea Turner, winning the World Series and his chances to make the Hall of Fame.

Fun things are happening in Florida, but perhaps nobody is having more fun than Trea Turner and Max Scherzer. They got into Grapefruit League hijinks on Sunday in Dunedin.

We talk about that, but we also answer your Phillies’ spring training questions. Everything from Taijuan Walker to the bullpen to bench battles to blockbuster trades in July to prospect Gabriel Rincones Jr. to Trea Turner leading off and more.

We’re absolutely thrilled to introduce “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza! Manco’s is the Best of the Best, so we will be picking our “Best of the Best” every week throughout the Phillies’ season!

Breathe, everybody. Bryce Harper got hit on the right arm Wednesday by a 92 mph fastball, but he’s OK. He’s supposed to play Friday against the Red Sox in Clearwater.

We talk about that scare, but then dig into some interesting happenings this week in Florida. How about Kyle Schwarber playing first base? How about José Alvarado throwing 100.7 mph in his first Grapefruit League outing? How about a great spring debut from Phillies ace Zack Wheeler? And how about these Phillies lineups?

Should we ready anything into them as games get going?

Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola has been one of baseball’s best, more durable pitchers for nearly a decade. 

From 2017-24, he ranks first in baseball in innings pitched (1,432 2/3); second in strikeouts (1,590); and third in baseball in wins (92) and WAR (34.0). He’s helped the Phillies make the postseason each of the past three seasons.

Nola joined the show from Clearwater, Fla., to talk about the things that have made him successful – his curveball and preparation, for starters – plus, how he fulfilled a lifelong dream of having his own baseball spikes and his charity poker tournament on May 15 at Citizens Bank Park that will benefit veterans.

Go here to learn more about Nola’s charity poker tournament.

It’s been months since Ruben, Jim and Todd sat together in the same place to record an episode of The Phillies Show.

But the stars aligned Sunday in Clearwater, and the three chatted next to the half-field about Sunday’s Grapefruit League home opener against the Orioles at BayCare Ballpark. It included a monstrous blast from Phillies prospect Gabriel Rincones Jr., whose two-run homer scored Justin Crawford, a top Phillies prospect who had two consecutive good days at the plate.

They dug into the Phillies’ suddenly wide open bench battle, following Weston Wilson’s injured oblique, and more!
