Is it 7:05 Yet? A Phillies Podcast

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates! On today's pod, it's all about the Home Opener and the return to the Bank. It's good to be home and also to win 2 in a row. We win one tomorrow, that's called a winning streak. It has happened before. We give a few shoutouts to start it off, more so some silver linings for the shaky start to the season. Then some concerns, well, Brandon's concern that is not really a conc...

It's bad. It's all bad over here. This is it everyone...the season is over. No, just our nightmares coming true to start off the season. Which we get into in this one. The Phillies are 0-2 to start things off as the pitching staff continues to show no signs of life against the Texas Rangers. The offense was good enough to win the Opening Day game, but not today. Just lackluster performances all around in the pitching staff....

Welp...the title of this episode pretty much sums it up. We mainly talk the 2023 season preview, but first, we talk about the new and exciting adventure we are taking as a podcast as we hope it leads to bigger and better things. Then, we get into the heart breaking injury news of Rhys Hoskins. Yes, we know it happened a few day ago. Sue us. But that happened and we are super bummed for him for this season. The Phillies definitely l...

We're back again as Spring Training is in full swing. See what I did there? We start with the most recent contract extensions with Alvarado and Dominguez, two key pieces in this bullpen that will be around for the next few years. Then talk about Dombrowski's interview about Harper, the 5th starter spot, Bullpen, and bench pieces. Some other talk about some silly reasonable goals for teams and Mookie Betts admitting that the Red Sox...

It was and still is Bedlam At The Bank! We spend a majority of our first pod back in a while talking about all the official releases we have seen so far. We also have a very weird pod poll that came to Brandon through a golf outing and of course some dad jokes. The Phillies have been busy this offseason and in a good way. Trea Turner. Ever heard of him?! Matt Strahm & Taijuan Walker, hmmm? Painter, Abel, Griff, Rojas all big pr...

Yes, we are still dancing on our own despite the World Series loss. It was a wild ride and we couldn't be more proud of the boys. Against all odds, they persevered and were able to beat the Ashtrays twice in the Series which is way more than what we deserve as fans. Although we think they could have gotten more. Now that we have been sulking for over a week, we now shift our attention to the offseason. And yes, we would love to jus...

The Phillies. Did it. 11 years since their last playoff appearance and they didn't skip a beat. YOUR PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES! We talk about this wild ride we've all been on throughout this last NLCS and how proud and excited we are for the boys. It was a hard fought series. They persevered and kept coming back through everything that was thrown at them. They deserve this. So much heart. They are the hott...

We are STOKED Steve! STOKED! The Phillies clinch the NLCS by taking down the reigning World Champion Braves and the Philly vibes have still not come back from the movie that was this weekend in the city. The boys are buzzing. The city is buzzing. And we are here for it. We live for moments like these when all the sports in an entire city converge and support each other through it all. The Phillies are the hottest team in the yoffs ...

Giggidy, that is all. We're excited. You're excited. You're Philadelphia Phillies have taken GAME 1 of this NDLS 2022 from the Braves. Absolutely incredible. Not the best stuff from the pitching staff in certain parts, but they got it done. And Nicky C, Big Dick Nick, Playoff Llanos, Playoff Nick, whatever you want to call him, is here for the playoffs. And he's excited. Ranger got himself out of a few jams and the bullpen kept the...

THE PHILLIES HAVE CLINCHED A PLAYOFF BIRTH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 11 YEARS!!! Yes, we are yelling. Deal with it. We are back and so are the Phillies. It's been a long season of ups and downs. Good times and bad times. But the team is better for it. We are so happy for these guys that we came out of retirement from our busy lives to bring you this first episode in quite some time. And yes, we apologize for our hiatus. But we realized...

We're a little late to the plate with the title of this one, but we promise you this episode is filled with more than just opening day festivities. Although we do talk about our opening day adventure, which we hope to be tradition moving forward, we have a lot more to talk about. Such as how badly the Phillies have sucked since the opening series against the A's. The Mets, Marlins, Rockies, you name it...the Phillies have not gotte...

Tonight, we put our baseballs minds to work and predict the award winners and division winners throughout the league for the 2022 season. We also discuss Phillies specific awards like team MVP, breakout player, HR leader and so on. You get the picture. There were high hopes for Micky Moniak to start the season in Center Field, but already one of our hopes and dreams quickly go down the drain. But that's ok, we get into the still st...

Tonight, we get together to talk about the recent and AMAZING signings John Middleton, Dave Dombrowski, and the Phillies have made. Starting with middle reliever Brad Hand, working down to the FIRST post-lockout signing of 'Schwarbs', all the way to, drumrolllllllll, Nick as there's a drive to deep left field and that's gonna be a home run Castellanos. And let us be the first to say that the Murderer's Row talk is back! We have lin...

We're locked in now. The lockout is over and there is a new CBA in town. And we're really just happy that baseball is back AND with a full season as well. Today, we talk about the new CBA contract and what it entails. Including, new minimum salaries, CBT thresholds, playoff format, drafts, and rules in general. We also discuss Dombrowski and Girardi's pressers where they seem very confident in the team moving forward and are not wo...

It's been a while, but we're finally back to talk about the most exhilarating thing in the sports world...the MLB lockout. Where everything is made up, and the points don't matter. That's right, we're starting fresh in 2022 after a long 3 month hiatus (we blame the lockout) and excited to talk Phillies, err baseball, err just sports in general...Oh, and we have a new segment called "Pod Polls" with juicy content from right within o...

Today, we somehow have a lot to talk about starting with the fact that we missed each other. It's been a busy couple of weeks and now that the Phillies aren't on all the time we haven't been texting as much. But all that will change now that the 76ers are back with their new year of antics and dumbassery. We talk coffee, new movies, Sixers BS, and try to summon our friend Guido on the pod to talk Flyers or whatever else he wants to...

The Dombrowski presser was today/yesterday and we talk about that. Along with some dad jokes, the Phillies need a big bat in the middle of the lineup. Also, a good many other things like Bohm working out at 3rd base and Bryce Harper's roomie being a big possibility at Shortstop. JT needs to just wear the protective gear he is provided to prevent an injury ridden season. Payroll is not an issue as ownership is willing to go over the...

Well, the 2021 season is over for the Phillies. But we're at a milestone 60th episode! Phillies fans deserve better as they get swept by the Braves, but at least they have to watch as the Braves celebrate their NL East clinch right in front of them. Happy National Podcast Day and thank you to all of our fans and friends who have supported us since the beginning! We will be discussing some new things in the coming episodes now that ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!! Alex turns 30 as we record tonight's episode on his front porch and it was a doozy. Basically, the Phillies suck, they are pathetic, horrible, and just plain suck. We also talk about some players who are questionable in our minds for the future of the Phillies. In other words, Dombrowski needs to blow up the team this offseason and make way more significant moves to have more depth in the organization. Otherw...
