The Phillies struggled for wins at home early in the season, but are now 21-17 at Citizens Bank Park after starting off their latest homestand with a pair of wins against the Miami Marlins. The Phils scored 15 runs in those two games.

Brandon Marsh and Alec Bohm have continued to swing hot bats and Kyle Schwarber's home run total is up to 25.

Of course, the Phillies remain a team that is built on their starting pitching, and Zack Wheeler and Jesus Luzardo delivered strong outings to start off the Marlins series, which concludes Wednesday with Andrew Painter on the mound.

In this episode, the boys discuss it all. They also hit on reliever Brad Keller's injury, Trea Turner's struggles, and what the team's biggest trade deadline need might be. Finally, a quick look at the New York Mets, who come to town on Thursday to start a three-game series.

Hosts: Jim Salisbury & Ruben Amaro Jr.

The Phillies lost two of three this weekend against the Brewers. Now, no team would have beaten Jacob Misiorowski on Friday night. He was unhittable and unbeatable. But the Phillies are 3-9 against NL division leaders: 1-5 vs. Atlanta, 1-2 vs. Milwaukee and 1-2 vs. Los Angeles. What does it say about this team?

Also, is it finally time to sit Trea Turner? And should the Phillies elevate Orion Kerkering’s role in the bullpen?

Adolis García is banged up, so the Phillies made a trade on Thursday for White Sox outfielder Derek Hill. But the Phillies need more help.

Andrew Painter needs help, too. He’s struggling as a rookie. We spoke to 2008 World Series champion Chad Durbin about Painter’s issues -- Durbin can relate -- and how he can improve in the coming weeks. Chad also talks about Roy Halladay, Christopher Sánchez, Zack Wheeler and much more.

A lot of great insight from Durbin, who’s one of baseball’s all-time good guys.

Jhoan Duran might be the most talented closer in Phillies history, but nobody is perfect.

He blew his first save of the season on Tuesday night in Toronto. Duran had saved 16 consecutive games to start the season. Where do we rank Duran compared to past Phillies closers like Tug McGraw, Billy Wagner, Brad Lidge and Jonathan Papelbon? We also talk about Adolis García’s and Trea Turner’s recent performances, Christopher Sánchez’s and Zack Wheeler’s dominance and Jim spanking his tomatoes again.

The Phillies played 13 consecutive games without scoring five or more runs, until their series finale last week against the Padres. Then this weekend against the White Sox, they scored 20 runs to win another series. Everybody has been waiting for this for some time, but can it last? Does it change how you think about the trade deadline, if this continues?

We talk about the Phillies’ offense, the best performances of the past week, Andrew Painter’s fastball troubles and more.

The Phillies finally scored more than four runs in a game in Thursday’s victory over San Diego. It’s the first time they’ve done that since May 18! They continue to win under Don Mattingly, but it seems clear they will need a bat before the Aug. 3 trade deadline. But who?

Or they could just go all-in and try to win with elite pitching. Tarik Skubal anybody?

We discuss the Phillies’ trade possibilities, Cristophe Sánchez’s historic scoreless innings streak coming to an end, Nick Castellanos getting DFA’d in Philly, Aidan Miller’s back procedure and more.

Cristopher Sánchez's pursuit of Major League Baseball history continues on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park. He will begin the game with a 44 2/3-innings scoreless streak.

Former Phillies general manager and current Brewers executive Matt Klentak joined the show this week to tell the story behind the trade that brought Sánchez to Philadelphia in November 201. It wasn’t a major trade at the time. Far from it. But it will go down as one of the greatest trades in Phillies history.

Klentak also tells stories about how the Phillies signed free-agent Zack Wheeler in Dec. 2019, acquired J.T. Realmuto in a trade in Feb. 2019 and more!
