We spent Wednesday about three Phillies trending upward: Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott and Andrew Painter. But we’re spending Friday’s show talking about the very real concerns we have about Aaron Nola and J.T. Realmuto.

Nola has a 6.02 ERA over 27 starts over the past two years. It’s no longer a blip on the radar. Nobody can point to Nola’s health, which they could last season. His struggles are troubling, especially when you remember he has 4+ years remaining on a seven-year, $172 million contract.

J.T. Realmuto just signed a three-year, $45 million contract in January, but he’s struggling mightily in his age-35 season.

We’re concerned. How concerned are you?

It’s not just Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Zack Wheeler and Cristopher Sánchez keying the Phillies’ turnaround in May. It’s supporting players like Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott and Anderw Painter, who have started to play much better.

Are we buying what they’re selling lately?

Also, updates on Phillies prospects Aidan Miller and Gage Wood.

Three Phillies trending upward in May

The Phillies are 15-4 since they changed managers. Why?

It starts with Zack Wheeler and Cristophe Sánchez. It continues with Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber. Basically, their pitching has been excellent, and they’re getting big contributions from two of the game’s biggest starts.

And wouldn’t you know it: the Phillies’ playoff odds have shot through the roof!
