Everything was looking great for the Phillies on Monday.

They swept the Rangers in Texas over the weekend. They won Monday in Cincinnati to take a six-game lead over the Mets in the NL East. But the Phillies have lost three in a row since then, including Thursday night’s loss to the Nationals in DC. What’s happening offensively? Is it time for more Max Kepler in right field? Nick Castellanos’ .493 OPS since the All-Star break is the third-worst in baseball. His -0.8 WAR is the worst.

The Phillies are moving to a six-man rotation. We think it’s a great idea.

Kyle Schwarber got a hero’s welcome this week in Cincinnati. It upset some people. We think that’s ridiculous. We explain why.

What a weekend for the Phillies.

They swept the Rangers in Texas to take a 5 ½-game lead over the Mets in the NL East. Phillies manager Rob Thomson shook up the outfield alignment, sitting Nick Castellanos on Saturday night. A sign of things to come? Zack Wheeler pitched five innings on Sunday. His velo was down. He didn’t have his typical command. Are we still concerned?

Plus, a look at the Phillies’ revamped bullpen and more.

The Phillies lost Wednesday’s series finale to the Orioles, but they went 4-2 on their homestand. They have a 2 ½ game lead over the Mets in the NL East.

Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper are hitting homers. Jhoan Duran has been lights out in the ninth. Things are going well … but then Phillies manager Rob Thomson revealed on Wednesday that Zack Wheeler’s next start has been pushed from Friday to Sunday because of soreness in his right shoulder.

How concerned should we be?

We dig into The Durantula Experience at Citizens Bank Park with Phillies director of broadcasting and video services Mark DiNardo. What’s it like to put together a ninth-inning show like that? What’s next?

Jhoan Duran is a difference maker. He showed the Phillies and Phillies fans exactly how much this weekend.

He tossed a four-pitch save in Friday night’s win over the Tigers. He tossed a 12-pitch save on Sunday night. He threw unhittable splinkers. He fired fastballs that touched 103.3 mph, making it the hardest pitch by any Phillies pitcher in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008). But probably ever, too.

We talk about Duran’s impact on the Phillies, his fun entrance from the bullpen, the Phillies’ muddled outfield situation and more.

The Phillies landed one of the best closers in baseball on Wednesday, getting Twins closer Johan Duran. Everybody wondered what might happen next. A big bat like Eugenio Suárez? A top-of-the-lineup threat like Steven Kwan? They got Twins outfielder Harrison Bader on Thursday.

Statistically, he immediately became the Phillies’ best outfielder.

But is it enough?

We’re not so sure. We discuss the Bader deal. We discuss the short-term futures for Justin Crawford and Max Kepler. We discuss how the Phillies and Mets stack up following the trade deadline and much more.

The Phillies finally got a closer.

Dave Dombrowski’s never made a trade deadline deal like this with the Phillies. He shipped top 100 prospects Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait to the Twins for closer Jhoan Duran. It’s a big move. It sends a message. It immediately upgrades the bullpen and gives the Phillies their first big-time closer in years.

We break down every angle of this trade.
