What happened out west?

The Phillies opened a six-game road trip on Friday in Colorado by scoring seven runs in the first inning and winning 10-1. They scored two or fewer runs in four of the next five games, including consecutive shutout losses in San Francisco to finish the road trip. The Phillies are 6-6. It’s early, but the offense’s slow start has you wondering.

We discuss the offense’s malaise, plus provide updates on J.T. Realmuto, Zack Wheeler and Aidan Miller and share our thoughts on the late Davey Lopes.

Nobody hits: Phillies finish road trip with 20-straight scoreless innings

We might be watching the Phillies’ best two pitching performances in a season in franchise history.

 

Christopher Sanchez tossed eight scoreless innings on Friday. He has a 37 ⅔-inning scoreless streak. Zack Wheeler tossed six scoreless innings on Saturday. Sanchez has a 1.62 ERA. Wheeler has a 1.67 ERA. If they keep this up, they could be the best 1-2 punch by any rotation in Phillies history. Better than Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee in 2011. Better than Jim Bunning and Chris Short in the mid-60s. Better than Steve Carlton and John Denny in 1983.

Of course, you need more than pitching to win. We also discuss the team’s offensive struggles during a 2-4 homestand.

Sánchez and Wheeler might be best 1-2 punch in Phillies history.

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?

What's behind Aaron Nola's and J.T. Realmuto's struggles

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.
