The Phillies Show

It's over. Now what?
The Phillies lost Game 3 of the NL Wild Card Series on Thursday night, 6-2. They've now lost four consecutive postseason series: 2023 NLCS, 2024 NLDS, 2025 NLDS and 2026 NL WCS. The team is getting older, while the postseason runs are getting shorter.
It's not great.
Will Don Mattingly be back?
Will any of the free agents be back in Luis Arraez, Alec Bohm, Jose Alvarado and Edmundo Sosa?
What do you think should happen, understanding multiyear contracts can't just be moved with a snap of a finger and a weak farm system can't fix everything? We discuss the clubhouse scene with thoughts from Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto, Trea Turner, Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola and more.

Can you take another game like this?
The Phillies beat the Braves in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series on Wednesday in Atlanta, forcing a win-or-go-home Game 3 on Thursday night. Bryce Harper misplayed a ball in right field in the seventh, then hit a game-tying homer in the eight. Alec Bohm made a poor decision on a bunt play in the seventh, then hit the game-winning homer in the 10th. Kyle Schwarber crushed a homer in the eight to cut the Braves lead to one. Cristopher Sánchez had a fantastic performance. But then so did Andrew Painter.
Jim breaks the news that Aaron Nola will start Game 3. But who else will be available?

The Phillies suffered a crushing loss in Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series, but the sting is a familiar one.
Phillies closer Jhoan Duran entered the game in the seventh inning in part because they have few trustworthy options. He pitched a clean seventh, then allowed a three-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning to Austin Riley. It was the third consecutive postseason the Phillies blew a late-inning lead in Game 1 and lost.
Did the Phillies handle Duran the right way? What does it say about how the bullpen was built? We show some love for big games from Jesús Luzardo, J.T. Realmuto and Alec Bohm.
