The Phillies Show

Phillies first baseman Alec Bohm has been crushed by Phillies fans for weeks.

Some wanted him off the team. But Bohm has been one of the Phillies best hitters since the All-Star break, and even one of the best hitters in baseball. Meanwhile, the Phillies’ offense has the best on-base percentage in baseball in August. Do you believe in Bohm’s resurgence? Do you believe in the Phillies offense?

We discuss those hot-button issues, plus USA Today reported this weekend that Dave Dombrowski is expected to hire Alex Cora as the next Phillies manager, unless Don Mattingly wins the World Series.

The Field of Dreams game lived up to the hype on Thursday night in Iowa.

Kyle Schwarber homered twice in a 7-1 victory over the Twins. He’s heating up, smashing four home runs in his last five games. Aaron Nola allowed one run in five innings. He has a 2.91 ERA in his last four starts.

Ruben was in Iowa, so he shared his experience, which included an awesome pregame ceremony that featured former Phillies and Hall of Famers Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Jim Thome, Scott Rolen, Billy Wagner, Tony Perez, Jim Kaat and Fergie Jenkins.

The Phillies grounded into four double plays on Tuesday night. They lost to the Cardinals, 2-0.

It’s the 27th time this season they’ve been held to one run or shut out. Only the A’s have done that more. But Tuesday’s loss also dropped the Phillies into a three-way tie with the Diamondbacks and Padres for the final two NL Wild Card spots.

Luis Arraez is hitless in his last 16 at-bats. Bryce Harper has a sore left knee. The Phillies’ bullpen is running on fumes. Cristopher Sánchez ran out of gas. But other than than, everything is great.

Chase Utley made the Phillies’ Wall of Fame this weekend, but he couldn’t have been happy to see the way his former team played.

Sloppy all around, and only a Derek Hill walk-off single in the 12th inning on Sunday prevented a sweep. There are plenty of things to be concerned about going into the final few weeks of the regular season, but perhaps the biggest one is the bullpen. Orion Kerkering and José Alvarado continue to struggle, new righty Caleb Kilian is hurt and the bridge to Jhoan Duran remains as rickety as ever.

We’re settling in for the final two months of the regular season, so Friday felt like the perfect time to hear what’s on your mind.

First, though, how about Luis Arraez? We talk about his impact in his first three games with the Phillies.

Second, you asked us about the lineup, the rotation, players the Phillies might still pick up, Dave Dombrowski on the hot seat and more.

We recap the Phillies’ trade deadline.

The Phillies got Luis Arraez, Brooks Raley and Caleb Kilian. But they didn't get a right-handed bat. They didn't get a No. 5 starter. We talk about what we like and don't like about it.

EMERGENCY POD!

The Phillies acquired second baseman Luis Arraez and right-hander Caleb Kilian from the Giants for prospects Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair. They also acquired left-hander Brooks Raley from the Mets for prospects John Spikerman and Luke Gabrysh.

Title: It’s Trade Deadline Day for the Phillies

Finally, Major League Baseball’s trade deadline is here.

It’s 6 p.m. ET on Monday, and we expect the Phillies to be busy. But what will they get? A reliever? A bat? Both? Are the Phillies no longer looking for a starter following Andrew Painter’s encouraging start on Friday? It could allow them to make better moves elsewhere, but it would leave them exposed should another starter go down.

The Phillies are reeling just days before Monday’s 6 p.m. ET trade deadline.

Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said four times in 90 seconds on Wednesday in Miami that they will learn what the Phillies are made of in the coming days, weeks and months. So, what are the Phillies made of?

We also discuss Bryce Harper, Don Mattingly, Dave Dombrowski and the trade deadline. Daulton Varsho? Taylor Ward? Zach Neto? What about the arms?

The Phillies are 3-8 since the All-Star break, and they have scored zero or one runs in six of those games.Everybody sees what’s going on. Everybody knows what the Phillies need. Bryce Harper spoke candidly about it following Tuesday night’s 1-0 loss to the Marlins in Miami.

“I think we need some help,” Harper said. “But you know, I think we've proved pretty much all year we've done a pretty good job. But anytime you can get some help in here and reinforcements, I think it helps.”

They need an outfielder, for sure. The Phillies have one of the worst outfields in franchise history right now. But they also need a No. 5 starter and a reliever. The pressure is on Dave Dombrowski to make it happen.
