The Phillies are ready to celebrate, but they just can’t win a baseball game.

They lost twice this week to the Brewers, postponing their plans to clinch an NL Wild Card and a fifth-consecutive trip to the postseason. The Phillies have lost 12 of their last 20. They can’t score. And now they might’ve lost Luis Arraez, who left Thursday’s game with a sprained left ankle.

Not only that, but Alex McFarlane and José Alvarado showed cracks on Thursday, too.

Champagne on ice: the Phillies are fading down the stretch

The Phillies suffered a crushing loss in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series, but the sting is a familiar one.

Phillies closer Jhoan Duran entered the game in the seventh inning in part because they have  few trustworthy options. He pitched a clean seventh, then allowed a three-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning to Austin Riley. It was the third consecutive postseason the Phillies blew a late-inning lead in Game 1 and lost.

Did the Phillies handle Duran the right way? What does it say about how the bullpen was built? We show some love for big games from Jesús Luzardo, J.T. Realmuto and Alec Bohm.

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/fefc3001-e0ec-4642-a165-b4d400c73306/transcript

The Phillies clinched an NL Wild Card on the final game of the 2026 regular season.

It wasn’t easy, but they’re in.

We discuss Zack Wheeler’s fantastic performance, plus big games from Bryson Stott, Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Jesús Luzardo. What’s next for the Phillies? Who will start Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series in Atlanta? Andrew Painter? Luzardo?

Can this offense beat Chris Sale?

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.
