If everybody does their thing, the Phillies’ rotation is the team’s strength in 2026.

There are questions, but the early performances from Cristopher Sanchez, Jesus Luzardo, Aaron Nola, Andrew Painter and Taijuan Walker have been encouraging. And so has the work of Zack Wheeler.

We also discuss Jhoan Duran’s first spring appearance, Bryce Harper’s spring and the World Baseball Classic.

It was 105 degrees at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday afternoon.

It’s been hot at the Bank all week. The Phillies’ offense scored 25 games in the first three games of a four-game split against the Pirates, including an eight spot on Paul Skenes. But Zack Wheeler was hot on Wednesday night when Don Mattingly pulled him from the game with two outs in the fifth inning. Wheeler talked about it on Wednesday night. Mattingly addressed it on Thursday.

Plus, an update on Jim’s tomatoes, while NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Rob Kuestner tells us some cool All-Star programming coming up next week!

The Phillies offense heats up, Zack Wheeler gets fired up

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/8070bd26-c43b-400e-92ec-b47c000131d8/transcript

The Phillies have two of the best pitchers in baseball in Cristopher Sánchez and Zack Wheeler. Jesus Luzardo has All-Star potential too. But the Phillies have growing concerns with Aaron Nola and their No. 5 starter. Should the Phillies prioritize a starting pitcher over a right-handed bat or late-inning reliever before the Aug. 3 trade deadline?

Ruben mentions an outside-the-box trade candidate for the Phillies: old friend Ranger Suarez!

Trea Turner and Justin Crawford are swinging the bat better. We discuss their progress. Jim also discusses an interesting story he wrote on Wheeler, who is keeping the door open for pitching beyond his contract in 2027.

The Phillies need a starting pitcher before Aug. 3 trade deadline

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/7eeaf33a-a041-41a0-a74b-b47a00b83115/transcript

The Phillies not only enjoyed another late-inning comeback on Sunday in New York, but they moved within three games of the Braves in the NL East.

The Phils were 9-19 and 10 ½ games behind the Braves on April 26, which was Rob Thomson’s final game as manager. FanGraphs gave the Phils just a 6.9 percent chance to win the division. But they woke up on Monday 47-37 with a 33.2 percent chance to win the division. Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh continue to lead the way offensively.

In fact, Schwarber and Harper both have a chance to finish the season with 400 home runs, 

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.
