The 2024-2025 Offseason Plan

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/11/04

Will the Phillies pursue Juan Soto? Who should the Phillies add to replace Juan Soto in the bullpen? How many innings will Juan Soto pitch as the 5th starter? Is there a limit to how much Juan Soto can spend to add free agents? Finally, Juan Soto. Paul and Matt discuss the offseason at the outset of the GM meetings in Texas, where the Phillies have some decisions to make as they prepare to lay the groundwork to court a new superstar; failing that, what else could they reasonably do to shore up the

2024 NLDS Recap & Offseason Preview

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/10/10

Paul and Matt host a solemn gathering to eulogize the disappointing 2024 Phillies and their abbreviated playoff run, then take a (very early) look ahead to what the '24-'25 offseason may bring. Who stays? Who goes? Does this core have another strong run in them? The wounds are fresh, but Paul and Matt talk them through while getting stitched up.

NLDS Check-In: Instant Classic

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/10/07

Did you expect anything less? The Phillies and Mets have played two wild games to start their Division Series matchup, and it all boils down to a series tied at 1; a best 2-of-3. After a waste of Zack Wheeler's brilliance in Game 1, the Phils showed up with an instant classic in Game 2. Paul and Matt revisit the moments, the pitching concerns, the interesting message sent via an Alec Bohm benching, and the heroics of Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos.

NLDS Series Preview

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/10/04

When the Phillies and Mets get together, you know weirdness is about to happen. Add in the first playoff matchup in these franchises' history and you've got a recipe for something explosive. Paul and Matt look ahead to a series the Phillies should hold the upper hand in, how the pitching and lineups should play out, and who needs to step up to give the Phils their third straight NLCS appearance.

2024/10/01

With a bye into the NLDS locked in, the Phillies will rest and prepare for the winner of the Milwaukee Brewers/New York Mets Wild Card matchup.

Something to Play For

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/09/23

The regular season nears its end with the Phillies closing in on a home clincher. Despite a less-than-great road trip last week, there isn't a whole lot that's changed with the Phils, but the rest of the NL has certainly made it interesting. Paul and Matt look ahead to the off-ramp of this week's games and steady their nerves for the tension to come later.

Buddy Comedy

2024/09/16

The Phillies, powered by the collective of Weston Wilson, Buddy Kennedy, Cal Stevenson, and Kody Clemens, are mere games away from clinching their first division title in 14 years. Paul and Matt discuss playoff roster implications for the bench and rotation as the team zeroes in on the NL East crown.

Miami Maulin'

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/09/09

After a flat end to an otherwise solid road trip, the Phillies are singing the 5th starter blues. But does that really matter in the bigger picture? Paul and Matt review the growing challenges to position player depth and the start of a key stretch that includes a big Milwaukee series next week.

Casty, Ya Know?

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/09/03

The Phillies took three of four from the Braves. Sounds familiar! Paul and Matt revisit the weekend's heroics, celebrate the pitching staff's return to form, highlight some offensive concerns (and their positive offsets), and look ahead to final 25 games of the regular season.

Royal Gains

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/08/26

Paul and Matt revisit the offense's rediscovered success in the Royals series, wonder what the heck to do about Taijuan Walker, and ponder if the Phillies can finally take care of business against the Braves.

Get Real, Get Right

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/08/18

After a flat start to the homestand, the Phillies have swung back to looking like their old selves this week. Powered by a tide-turning Kyle Schwarber grand slam and an unlikely cycle from unsung hero Weston Wilson, the Phils have rebuilt their division lead to 8 games ahead of Sunday's series finale with Washington. A tough road test lies ahead, so just how back do we think the Phils really are? Paul and Matt break it down.

The Dour Hour

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/08/12

Rare is the team that can make "20 games over .500 and 7.5 games up in the division" feel so...bad? Recency bias is a hell of a drug. But the Phillies have some issues that are beginning to crystalize into concerns; how much longer do we need to wait for them to right the ship? And will they be able to sail like they were earlier in the year? Paul and Matt dig in.

Yankee Doodle Bland-y

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/08/05

A week of uninspiring baseball draws to a close with a 6-0 win in Seattle, thanks in no small part to divine baseball god intervention. Is this what finally gets the Phillies back on track? Paul and Matt (briefly) peek back at the glum week that was, brace for the remainder of the west coast trip, and check in on the mood of the team amidst these struggles.

2024 Trade Deadline Special

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/07/29

The Phillies made two moves ahead of Tuesday's deadline, for a reliever (expected) and an outfielder (also expected, but maybe not WHO was expected). And they may be done! Paul and Matt recap the moves, take stock of the new lineup and bullpen configuration options, and echo Bryce Harper's sentiment that it's time for the stars to step up.

Twin City Slickers

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/07/22

With only a little over a week to go before next Tuesday's trade deadline, Paul and Matt take an updated look at the deal landscape (spoiler: Not a ton has changed), welcome back J.T., wonder if the division is all but over in light of the Braves' latest injuries (Whit Merrifield notwithstanding), and look ahead to the forthcoming six-man rotation.

Pressure Rooker

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/07/15

The Phillies dropped their final series of the first half (whatever), and now get to send nearly a third of their roster to Texas for All-Star festivities. With the break upon us, eyes begin to turn even more toward the trade deadline later this month. Paul and Matt talk about a surging Gregory Soto, the lack of a fit for Brent Rooker (and a better fit for others), and how the Phillies view the upcoming second half.

Chatting With Phillies Pitcher Orion Kerkering

It's a special All-Star edition of PT, as Paul and Matt talk about the team's seven(!) All-Star nods. Plus, Phillies pitcher Orion Kerkering drops by to chat about the clear and widening gaps between the upper minors and the Major Leagues, the mental and physical adjustments it takes to work on an unpredictable schedule, and the MVP of the bullpen hat-toss game.

Zombie Lineup Blues

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/07/01

The Phillies, fortunate to escape last weekend's series with a split against the Marlins, now set their sights toward a far tougher stretch. Are these really "must-win" games against the Cubs, Braves, and Dodgers? How much comfort does the current division lead really afford the team? And how much clearer are the roster "problems" to be addressed this month? Paul and Matt dig in/

Motor City Memories

Phillies Therapy ·

2024/06/24

You know it's hot when the thermometer's reading is higher than Matt Strahm's ERA. The Phillies wrapped up a (literally) scorching homestand where they took 4 of 6 from NL West opponents — including a NLCS "rematch" with Arizona — and now swing out to Detroit before a weekend date with the Marlins. Paul and Matt review Cristopher Sanchez's new contract, Taijuan Walker's injury, and fondly remember the Steve Susdorf Game. Be sure to listen all the way to the end for an easter egg!
