The Phillies won another series, following Thursday night’s victory in Cincinnati.
Jesús Luzardo was brilliant, striking out 11 in seven scoreless innings. But you know what else was good? Jonathan Bowlan and Jhoan Duran in the final two. The Phillies need more depth in the bullpen, however, following José Alvarado’s and Tanner Banks’ latest meltdowns on Wednesday.
Bryce Harper is competing in the Home Run Derby. We expect Kyle Schwarber to be, too.
Plus, Don Mattingly said he’d like to remain as Phillies manager beyond this season. Will he?

Phillies ace Zack Wheeler showed everybody on Tuesday why he believes he should be an NL All-Star.
He struck out a career-high 14 batters in seven innings in a dominant performance against the Reds. Afterward, he made his case to join his six teammates at the All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park.
Kyle Schwarber continues to hit Schwarbombs, although Tuesday’s in Cincinnati was an unusual one. Plus, Orion Kerkering’s issues in the eighth inning, Trea Turner’s defense and more.

Bryce Harper was one of five Phillies to make the 2026 National League All-Star team.

We also discuss Aaron Nola’s start on Sunday, Andrew Painter’s Triple-A start on Saturday and more.

It was 105 degrees at Citizens Bank Park on Thursday afternoon.
It’s been hot at the Bank all week. The Phillies’ offense scored 25 games in the first three games of a four-game split against the Pirates, including an eight spot on Paul Skenes. But Zack Wheeler was hot on Wednesday night when Don Mattingly pulled him from the game with two outs in the fifth inning. Wheeler talked about it on Wednesday night. Mattingly addressed it on Thursday.
Plus, an update on Jim’s tomatoes, while NBC Sports Philadelphia’s Rob Kuestner tells us some cool All-Star programming coming up next week!

The Phillies have two of the best pitchers in baseball in Cristopher Sánchez and Zack Wheeler. Jesus Luzardo has All-Star potential too. But the Phillies have growing concerns with Aaron Nola and their No. 5 starter. Should the Phillies prioritize a starting pitcher over a right-handed bat or late-inning reliever before the Aug. 3 trade deadline?
Ruben mentions an outside-the-box trade candidate for the Phillies: old friend Ranger Suarez!
Trea Turner and Justin Crawford are swinging the bat better. We discuss their progress. Jim also discusses an interesting story he wrote on Wheeler, who is keeping the door open for pitching beyond his contract in 2027.

The Phillies not only enjoyed another late-inning comeback on Sunday in New York, but they moved within three games of the Braves in the NL East.
The Phils were 9-19 and 10 ½ games behind the Braves on April 26, which was Rob Thomson’s final game as manager. FanGraphs gave the Phils just a 6.9 percent chance to win the division. But they woke up on Monday 47-37 with a 33.2 percent chance to win the division. Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh continue to lead the way offensively.
In fact, Schwarber and Harper both have a chance to finish the season with 400 home runs,

We said it Wednesday: Don’t turn off the TV.
Did you turn off the TV on Wednesday night? Thursday night? If so, you missed the Phillies becoming the first team in Major League Baseball history to hit a go-ahead home run in the ninth inning in three consecutive games. Bryson Stott did it Tuesday. Derek Hill did it Wednesday. Bryce Harper did it Thursday.
We talk about what a series like this means moving forward.
Also, is Brandon Marsh an All-Star yet? And a look ahead at a weekend series against the Mets.

The Phillies enjoyed a crazy comeback victory on Tuesday night in Washington, but we’re here to talk trades.
What trades should the Phillies make before the Aug. 3 trade deadline? A reliable bullpen arm would be huge for this team. But so would a bat. The problem is: can the Phillies do both? Can they possibly acquire an impact reliever and an impact bat with a farm system that ranks among the bottom 10 in Major League Baseball?
Aroldis Chapman, Byron Buxton, Seiya Suzuki, Tarik Skubal, Taylor Ward, Jo Addell, Jeremy Pena and more!

“Just get us in.”
Bryce Harper said that’s the Phillies’ motto for the 2026 season. Just get into the playoffs, and let’s see what happens. Well, if Kyle Schwarber and Harper hit like they hit this weekend against the Mets, it feels like anything is possible. They made history on Saturday with Harper hitting for the 11th cycle in Phillies history and Schwarber hitting three home runs.
Harper fell a triple shy of the cycle on Sunday.
Schwarber hit another homer on Sunday. He’s on pace to hit 62.
