The Phillies Show

The Phillies won their first National League East title in 13 years on Monday night, so we got together early Tuesday morning to talk about it.

What did we see in the clubhouse postgame?

What did we think about Aaron Nola’s performance? He’s been around longer than anybody, so nobody can appreciate winning a division title more than him. We discuss Rob Thomson, the family atmosphere that has made this team so close, short-term plans to win a first-round bye and more.

The Phillies had such a good opportunity to clinch the NL East at some point on their just complete seven-game road trip through Milwaukee and New York.

They didn’t.

They went 2-5 on the trip, including three of four losses to the Mets at Citi Field. These types of trips happen, but the Phillies could face the Brewers and Mets in the postseason. As concerning as that might, it’s also concerning that the Phillies struck out 81 times on the road trip, four shy of their most strikeouts in a seven-game span in franchise history.

The Phillies can clinch the division as early as Monday night.

We dig into the offense, Zack Wheeler’s brilliance and more.

The Phillies only need to win one more game to make the postseason. They only need to win two more games to win the NL East.

It’s going to happen.

But the Phillies fell into a first-place tie with the Dodgers for the best record in the National League, following Thursday night’s loss to the Mets at Citi Field. Taijuan Walker allowed eight runs in 3 1/3 innings. He is 3-7 with a 6.91 ERA, which is the fifth-highest ERA for any Phillies pitcher since 1901 (minimum 80 innings pitched). The Phillies are 4-11 when Walker starts. 

It isn’t just Walker, however. The Phillies’ No. 5 starter has been a problem since Spencer Turnbull got hurt in June. The Phillies’ No. 5 starters have a combined 14.14 ERA in their last eight starts. They are 2-6 in those games. Those losses could be the difference between having home-field advantage through the NLCS and playing Games 6 and 7 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium, if both teams get that far.

Jim and Todd also talk about the Phillies’ offense. It’s struck out 44 times in the past three games.

Zack Wheeler pitched like the NL Cy Young in Tuesday night’s victory over the Brewers. The Phillies can clinch a postseason berth with a win Wednesday night in Milwaukee. They can clinch their first NL East title since 2011 as early as Thursday in New York.

Has Wheeler closed the gap on Braves left-hander Chris Sale, who is perceived as the front runner?

We answered your questions, too!

What are the chances of Juan Soto signing with the Phillies?

Should the Phillies carry 12 of 13 pitchers in the postseason? If they carry an extra-bench bat, who should it be?

Should the Phillies be concerned about Ranger Suárez heading into the postseason?

It’s National Cheeseburger Day, so we talked local burgers, too.

The Phillies had a huge week at home. They swept the Rays, then won two of three against the Mets, who were the hottest team in baseball.

The Phils seem to be peaking at the right time.

And everybody is contributing, too. Cristopher Sánchez continues to pitch incredibly well, especially at home. Should he be the Phillies’ No. 2 starter in the NLDS, NLCS and World Series, should they get that far and should they have home-field advantage? Reserves Kody Clemens, Cal Stevenson, Buddy Kennedy, Weston Wilson and Aramis Garcia each had big moments during the homestand.

Oh, can’t forget that Bryce Harper homered twice on Saturday night, snapping the second-longest homerless drought of his career.

It’s wild, but the Phillies and Mets haven’t played a truly meaningful series in September since 2008.

But it’s finally happening again this weekend at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies are trying to clinch their first NL East title since 2011, which could happen next week. The Mets are trying to make the postseason, following a brutal start. These teams will meet again for a four-game series next weekend at Citi Field.

Both series could be a preview of a potential matchup in the NLDS or NLCS.

It should be fun.

Ruben, Jim and Todd break down the Phillies-Mets series, recall their favorite moments from the Phils’ historic comeback in 2007 and more.

The Phillies don’t need anything to make them closer as a group, but they bonded again in Tuesday night’s victory over the Rays.

Nick Castellanos got hit by a pitch intentionally in the eighth inning. He got upset.

Bryce Harper got upset, too.

Benches and bullpens cleared. Ruben, Jim and Todd discuss what led to that moment, plus Kyle Schwarber’s recording-setting night and concerns about Ranger Suárez’s four starts since returning from the injured list.

Kyle Schwarber has provided Phillies fans many memorable moments since he signed a four-year contract in March 2022. It was a fantastic coincidence then that he joined “The Phillies Show” during a road trip through Toronto and Miami. Schwarber hit three home runs in a big comeback win on Tuesday against the Blue Jays. He hit a leadoff homer in Wednesday’s victory against the Blue Jays, tying Alfonso Soriano for the most leadoff homers in a season in MLB history with 13. Schwarber offered insight about his personal successes and failures as a player, what makes this Phillies team so close, why the team’s midseason struggles could help them in the postseason and how growing up in a household of first responders shaped him as a person. He also discussed his important work with Schwarber’s Neighborhood Heroes, which is the foundation he and his wife Paige started in 2017. 

Its mission is to create “positive experiences, and funding wellness, education and 
crisis needs for police, fire and military families.” You can donate and learn more about Schwarber’s Neighborhood Heroes here:

Title: Schwarbombs, Schwarbombs, Schwarbombs

Kyle Schwarber had a heck of a series in Toronto, hitting three home runs on Tuesday night, including a no-doubt-about-it, game winner in the ninth, and another leadoff homer on Wednesday.

Schwarber is must-see TV when he is feeling good at the plate.

Bryce Harper hasn’t been feeling great for a few weeks, but he continues to play through elbow and wrist issues. More than a few fans want Rob Thomson to rest Harper, but Harper said it isn’t necessary. Ruben, Jim and Todd are around Harper quite a bit. They offer their take on Harper’s willingness to play through pain.

Should he or shouldn’t he?

The guys also discuss Seth Johnson’s MLB debut on Sunday. The Phillies got him in the Gregory Soto trade. They finish with some talk about Ranger Suárez’s start Thursday in Miami. He pitched well, but his velocity was down. Any reason to be concern? And what about Suárez’s long-term future with the team?

John Smoltz has seen every team in baseball this season, and he likes what he sees from the 
Philadelphia Phillies, especially after watching them win three of four from the Atlanta Braves 
this weekend at Citizens Bank Park.

Smoltz joined “The Phillies Show” this week to talk about the Phils, why he likes their rotation 
and why he likes their chances in the postseason.

Smoltz also shares a great story about how the Phillies tried to lure him to Philadelphia as a free 
agent and much more.
