One Day In October

2026/10/03

Nothing left to do but wonder. The immediate aftermath of an elimination always leaves more questions than answers, and we don't attempt to answer too many of them; we're just kinda working through it. Sit in on our own therapy session as we lay the 2026 Phillies to rest and wonder what awaits them this offseason.Our Executive Producer supporters for this episode are: Adam D., Andrew C., Andrew G., Andrew K., Joe M., and Mary R.

NLWC Check-In: An Exercise in Legacy

Phillies Therapy ·

2026/10/01

There is no easy, concise way to describe this Phillies team, in equal parts talent-laden and flawed, underachieving yet capable of heroics. That heroism, nearly up and down the roster, helped propel the Phillies to a wild Game 2 win and force a decisive Game 3. Legacies are being written and rewritten, seemingly pitch by pitch.

Phillies Clinch Wild Card Berth

Phillies Therapy ·

2026/09/28

By golly, they did it. It was a close call! It was 500% more frustrating than it probably needed to be! But the Phillies are back in the playoffs, and heading to Atlanta once more to face the Braves. A best-of-three awaits, and there's a Chris Sale-sized mountain to climb. But count out this weird-ass group at your own peril.Our Executive Producer supporters for this episode are: Adam D., Andrew C., Andrew G., Andrew K., Joe M., and Mary R.

Seeds of Destiny

Phillies Therapy ·

2026/09/21

The Phillies are set to clinch a playoff spot at home this week. All that's really left to determine is where they'll go after that: Atlanta, Chicago, San Diego, or stay right where they are.It's a seeding battle in the National League, with Wild Card matchups and locations to be determined. We take a look at the final six games, the shape the pitching plan might take for those games, evaluating the bullpen trust tree, and doing a little early sizing-up of the possible opponent.

The Phillies have clinched a winning record, and Paul has clinched some allergies. Apart from that, there's a lot up in the air (including ragweed).So much of what the Phillies hope to accomplish in the playoffs hangs in the health and effectiveness of Jesús Luzardo, so we brace for what his final 2-3 appearances of the season might look like. Plus, the wide and unusual cratering of Luis Arraez and Brandon Marsh, and what to do about it. We review pitching plans, overcoming the biggest weaknesses,

Jesús Luzardo is the man these days, never more so than at this moment following his masterful complete game shutout to cap a split of the Phillies' four-game series with Atlanta over Labor Day weekend. With time running out on the division but a playoff berth firmly in control, the Phillies now have 18 regular season games left to get their affairs (and seeding) in order.We review pitching plans, overcoming the biggest weaknesses, and the need to really go for it.

A ferocious nine-game winning streak — with all sorts of drama attached — will be put to the test on a West Coast trip. We review what's changed in the last week-and-a-half, following yet another about-face by this team that has steadied itself once again. Kyle Schwarber, Alec Bohm, a full-team plate discipline reinvention, easing the pitchers' burden, and more.Our Executive Producer supporters for this episode are: Adam D., Andrew C., Andrew G., Andrew K., Joe M., and Mary R.

Matt is far away, so FanGraphs' Michael Baumann pinch hits once more to talk about Derek Hill as the most clutch player alive, top-heaviness with hero ball, and how this season doesn't necessarily mean another 2012 is brewing.Our Executive Producer supporters for this episode are: Adam D., Andrew C., Andrew G., Andrew K., Joe M., and Mary R.

Fuel For the Embers

Phillies Therapy ·

2026/08/10

This team is tired, and they look it. Heavy pitcher use, some extraordinarily humid weather to play through, injuries and short outings have compromised the Phillies' pitching staff. Ironically, that happens as the offense enjoys one of its most productive stretches in years. The Phils are still in playoff position, but it is very much a fight. Do they have the stamina to keep throwing punches in the final seven weeks of the regular season?Our Executive Producer supporters for this episode are:

Arraez, My Love

2026/08/04

The trades have happened! The Phillies added Luis Arraez, Caleb Kilian, and Brooks Raley in two separate deals, plus minor league outfielder outfielder Colby Thomas in a third. They sent back helium pitching prospect Ramon Marquez and reliever Marty Gair to the Giants, with defensive specialist outfielder John Spikerman and pitcher Luke Gabrysh going to the Mets.Beyond that, the defensive dominoes of moving Stott, Bohm, and Harper (to the outfield!) to accommodate Arraez will make for little less

Mis-ner, that is. Yes, the Phillies kicked off their trade season already, and while Kameron Misner is unlikely to be a big factor in their plans, that doesn't mean every move the team makes over the next week won't be impactful. Far from it!We talk the latest in the trade landscape, maintaining a good feeling about the team's position, and understanding the frustrations the fanbase seemingly cannot shake.

After dropping two series to start a homestand, the Phillies welcome the Yankees for a weekend series. With the deadline less than two weeks away, there's a bit more clarity around who might be selling, and what the Phillies could reasonably target. A hint?

A Good Hang: The 2026 Phillies at the Break

2026/07/13

At 54-43, the Phillies enter hosting duties at the All-Star Break in a good spot. They're in the thick of the division race, nearly all of their key players are healthy, and the promise of an additive trade deadline awaits. We look back on the first "half" that was for the Phils, and prepare to look ahead to #hugwatch season.

Grounds For Improvement

It didn't lead to all 15 (!) runs the Phillies allowed on Monday, but another costly mistake in the field brought the question back to the fore: What can be done about the Phils' almost-historically bad defense? We also check in on All-Star Game news, think about the Derby, and find some eerie parallels between this Phillies team and another Dombrowski epoch.

One-Run Fun in the Sun

Winning one-run games isn't a skill, huh?! Try telling that to these guys! After a week on the road for the ages, the Phillies come home for a four-gamer against the Pirates during a heatwave. We check in on the state of the defense, update our trade deadline watchlists, and do a little more marveling at Jhoan Duran.

Barrel-Aged

The Phils are hot. The offense has come up big for the pitching staff multiple times over the last week, and the team is running on just about all its cylinders. A pesky test against the Nationals in D.C. kicks off the latest road trip. Paul and Matt appreciate Kyle Schwarber's moment, Bryce Harper's big-ass bat, and looking ahead to a summer of meaningful baseball.

What to Make of Any of This

Phillies Therapy ·

2026/06/16

The Phillies are winning, but the performance of most their roster doesn't really reflect that. Their (lack of) depth required them to trade two players in June for outfield help. It all feels so tenuous, despite the record. Paul has a moment while continuing to try and come to grips with that, and Matt offers his theory. Plus: Gabriel Rincones, Jr., more Trea Turner, and a quick assessment of needs six weeks out from the deadline. Our Executive Producer supporters for this episode are: Adam D.,

In This Home On Bryce

2026/06/08

The Phillies put together a successful homestand (5-1, to be precise), and embark on a road trip to Toronto and Milwaukee feeling about as good as they've felt all season. Or maybe that's just me projecting. We talk Jhoan Duran and the offense (finally) bailing out starters who scuffle.
