On today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the Phillies‘ latest highs and lows — and there were plenty of both. Topics covered:

🔨 Kyle Schwarber’s case as one of the best Phillies signings EVER — where he ranks all-time in franchise home run history and why his prime has only gotten better in red pinstripes

📉 The Peaks & Valleys of this Phillies team — what’s stopping them from stringing wins together? Pitching, hitting, or just flat-out getting in their own way? Plus, Adolis Garcia’s CANNON of an arm and the Brandon Marsh lefty situation.

💸 The Aaron Nola problem — 1,900 career strikeouts, second all-time in Phillies history behind Steve Carlton, but is his contract one of the worst value deals in MLB? We break down his numbers since signing the extension.

🔥 Bullpen watch — Mayza struggles, Keller looks sharp and Seth Johnson optioned back down.

⚡ Zack Wheeler is CLOSE — 5 scoreless innings, 8 Ks, sitting 93-94 mph in his latest Lehigh Valley rehab start. One more outing or is it time to bring him back?

🏺 Final Word: Brad Lidge goes full Indiana Jones — the Phillies legend is now on the Penn Museum board!
