The Phillies need an absolute miracle to win the NL East after losing two of three this weekend in Atlanta.

So, it’s NL Wild Card or bust.

It won’t be easy. Jesús Luzardo has a sore left shoulder. The bullpen continues to blow leads. (They blew four saves in Atlanta.) They continue to make mistakes on the bases. And they haven’t been having the at-bats they had in August.

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.

Phillies chase an NL Wild Card, but can Jesús Luzardo help?

The Phillies’ offense flipped a switch in August. They weren’t chasing as much. They weren’t striking out as much. They were walking more, putting the ball in play more, getting on base more, scoring more.

They were winning more.

But those old, bad habits resurfaced in a 3-4 homestand. Can they get it turned around? We talk about the at-bats, the base running, Zack Wheeler’s bounceback, Jhoan Duran’s struggles with the splitter, the upcoming Braves series and more.

October is near and the Phillies are chasing again

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/15a29172-3473-442e-90fc-b4c200148de0/transcript

The fundamentals and the little things cost the Phillies in the 2025 NLDS against Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers. It cost them again on Tuesday night in a 6-5 loss to the Astros.

We dig into the Phillies’ latest base running blunders late in Tuesday's game, including Brandon Marsh getting double up at second base and Edmundo Sosa not hustling down the first-base line on a fly ball to deep right-center field in the ninth.

We also talk about Andrew Painter’s start, Cristopher Sánchez start on Wednesday and how the Phillies might line up the rotation for the postseason.

Base running mistakes sink the Phillies yet again

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/3dec3a28-cfd2-45bf-b1ed-b4c000ca4fdf/transcript

The Phillies had high hopes to beat up the Braves this weekend and make a move in the NL East. Instead, it looks like the Phillies will have to settle on the NL Wild Card.

The Phils lost two of their first three in a four-game series against the Braves at Citizens Bank Park, with the series finale on Monday afternoon. But a five-game deficit with 19 games to play is going to be difficult to overcome. Why? Well, if the Braves go just 9-10 the rest of the way, the Phillies would need to go 15-4 to win the division.

What went wrong on Monday? Alex McFarlane served up a three-run homer to Ronald Acuña Jr. We talk about McFarlane, the bullpen, the division and much more.

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. It's been a great week for Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, Andrew Painter and Jesús Luzardo.
