Is Spencer Strider’s health the key to a Braves resurgence, or will more bad luck sink Atlanta’s campaign?

Ryan Finkelstein, Ryan Clary, Jake Mastroianni, and Connor Thomas break down offseason transformations—including the Mets’ blockbuster additions of Luis Robert, Bo Bichette, and Freddy Peralta—and debate breakout candidates like Nolan McClain, James Wood, and Harry Ford. Hot takes fly on division win totals, pitching depth, and which superstar core has the edge. With FanDuel odds, award predictions, and lively debate, this NL East preview sets the stage for a dramatic 2026 MLB season.

BOLD: Philadelphia Phillies Roster PROJECTION Elevates Surprise Outfielder for Opening Day 2026

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 2 Mar 2026 16:00:00 +0000

The Philadelphia Phillies shake up their projected Opening Day roster. Is Rafael Marchan about to beat out Garrett Stubbs as backup catcher for another season? Bryan De La Cruz’s right-handed power and Kyle Backhus’ unconventional bullpen delivery offer intriguing upside, while Johan Rojas faces skepticism after a lackluster spring and defensive miscues. Otto Kemp’s ability to contribute both infield and outfield depth may become pivotal as the team carries only five true infielders.

Connor Thomas breaks down the Phillies’ set rotation—Cristopher Sanchez, Jesus Luzardo, Aaron Nola, Taijuan Walker, and Andrew Painter—yet questions linger about how injuries, especially to Zach Wheeler, could disrupt the starting five. The bullpen’s final spots are contested, with Zach McCambley likely earning a place via Rule 5 circumstances and Backes bringing unique left-handed flair. Can these under-the-radar moves provide the depth and unpredictability needed for Philadelphia’s postseason aspirations?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 22:43:28 +0000

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cristopher Sanchez finished second in NL Cy Young voting but didn't make the All-MLB first team. How does that make sense?

Connor Thomas breaks down the controversial All-MLB team selections, arguing Sanchez deserved first-team honors over several pitchers who made the cut. The discussion covers Kyle Schwarber's second-team selection, Jhoan Duran's elite closer status, and Zack Wheeler's recognition despite injury. Key topics include Edwin Diaz opting out of his Mets contract and whether the Phillies should hope he leaves the division, the Logan O'Hoppe trade revisited in hindsight, and Brandon Marsh's ceiling as a center fielder. Thomas also addresses Schwarber's contract timeline, predicts a December signing, and identifies right-handed power as the team's biggest offseason need. The mailbag segment explores potential interest in Japanese third baseman Munetaka Murakami and what it signals about Alec Bohm's future.

SHOCKING: The Philadelphia Phillies Place TWO Players in Top Five MVP Votes Yet Win ONE Playoff Game

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 17:05:24 +0000

Shohei Ohtani wins unanimous MVP, but did Kyle Schwarber deserve first-place votes after his 56-homer, 132-RBI season? The Philadelphia Phillies slugger received zero first-place votes despite carrying his team to the postseason, raising serious questions about MLB's awards voting system.

Connor Thomas breaks down the controversial 2024 MVP results and argues why expanding the voter pool could eliminate individual bias. The discussion shifts to Trea Turner's surprising fifth-place MVP finish and National League batting title, examining whether Phillies fans undervalue their shortstop despite his elite regular season numbers. Key analysis includes Turner's postseason struggles, comparisons to Bobby Abreu's legacy, and why the Phillies' individual success hasn't translated to October victories.

Poll results reveal which Phillies free agents fans prioritize for re-signing, with JT Realmuto earning unexpected support for his irreplaceable value as signal caller to Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suarez, and Cristopher Sanchez.

Cristopher Sanchez finishes second in NL Cy Young voting, Rob Thomson places third in Manager of the Year race. Are the Philadelphia Phillies destined to always be close but never champions?

Connor Thomas breaks down the painful pattern emerging for the Phillies—second-place Cy Young finishers in three of the last five seasons, consistently competitive but falling short when it matters most. The discussion covers Sanchez's remarkable evolution from minor league swing man to Cy Young runner-up, whether fans underrate Thomson despite his regular season success, and why his postseason struggles raise questions about the team's direction. Key analysis includes free agent starter Michael King's fit and durability concerns, plus the right-handed pitcher market dynamics that signal Ranger Suarez's likely departure from Philadelphia.

BREAKING: Harrison Bader's CRYPTIC Instagram Post Sends Philadelphia Phillies Fans Into PANIC MODE

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 17:52:30 +0000

Philadelphia Phillies fans need to pump the brakes on Harrison Bader's Instagram post. The outfielder's thank-you message sparked panic across social media, but his words say "this year" not forever—a crucial distinction during baseball's marathon offseason.

Connor Thomas breaks down why MLB free agency demands patience, explaining how the absence of a salary cap creates extended negotiations that differ dramatically from other sports. The discussion shifts to breaking news about Byron Buxton potentially waiving his no-trade clause with the Minnesota Twins, analyzing why the five-tool center fielder could solve all of Philadelphia's outfield problems in one move. Thomas also examines Don Mattingly's potential addition to Rob Thomson's coaching staff, exploring the Hall of Fame caliber player's connections to the organization through his son Preston Mattingly in the front office.

Key topics include Nick Castellanos trade scenarios, Justin Crawford's development timeline, and why the Philadelphia Phillies should pursue impact moves over long-term commitments.

INSIDER: Munetaka Murakami's Posting Creates OPPORTUNITY As Philadelphia Phillies Seek Power Upgrade

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 22:41:07 +0000

The Philadelphia Phillies face critical offseason decisions at third base and in the rotation. Could Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami be the answer?

Connor Thomas breaks down three potential acquisitions for the Phillies, analyzing Murakami as a younger alternative to Alex Bregman despite injury concerns and left-handed bat limitations. The discussion examines local product Zac Gallen's fit in a rotation facing uncertainty with Zack Wheeler's thoracic outlet syndrome and Andrew Painter's development questions. ESPN's Jeff Passan recommends Bregman as the perfect move, but Thomas challenges whether the Phillies can afford to add another aging star alongside Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, and Aaron Nola while trying to get younger.

Key topics include contract projections ranging from 5-year/$110M for Murakami to 6-year deals for Bregman, the team's desperate need for right-handed power, and Dave Dombrowski's flat payroll constraints forcing difficult choices between re-signing Kyle Schwarber or pursuing a star third baseman.

The Philadelphia Phillies bullpen construction takes center stage as free agency approaches. Can Tyler Rogers and Hoby Milner transform Philadelphia's relief corps for 2026?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 6 Nov 2025 23:16:00 +0000

The Philadelphia Phillies pick up Jose Alvarado's $9 million team option despite his PED suspension that sidelined him during the playoff run. Can the hard-throwing lefty rebuild trust with the fanbase and clubhouse?

Connor Thomas breaks down the controversial decision to bring back Alvarado, presenting both the emotional fan perspective and the front office logic behind keeping a bridge to closer Jhoan Duran. The discussion shifts to a comprehensive 2026 free agency wish list, including why Kyle Schwarber and JT Realmuto must return, the case for signing Gold Glove second baseman Brendan Rodgers as a buy-low candidate, and a complete outfield restructuring featuring Justin Crawford, Harrison Bader, and potential addition Miguel Andujar. Analysis also covers the minor league signing of Bryan De La Cruz and his realistic role as a depth piece rather than starter.

BREAKING: Harrison Bader OPTS OUT of Philadelphia Phillies Deal | Will Dave Dombrowski PAY UP?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 5 Nov 2025 22:22:17 +0000

Harrison Bader opts out of his Philadelphia Phillies contract, but will the center fielder return to Citizens Bank Park? Connor Thomas breaks down why Bader's $3 million buyout made the decision a no-brainer and analyzes his true market value beyond the red-hot .305 finish that masked a career .247 batting average.

The discussion examines why re-signing Kyle Schwarber and J.T. Realmuto should take priority over Bader, explores Japanese pitcher Tatsuya Imai as a potential $150 million target, and reveals why the Phillies' free agency timeline will likely differ from last year's slow December start. Thomas also previews the possibility of landing third baseman Munetaka Murakami and explains why the Phillies need to expand their international scouting footprint.

Key topics include defensive metrics versus offensive production, the West Coast bias in Japanese player signings, and realistic expectations for when Dave Dombrowski will make his first move. Will the Phillies prioritize 56 home runs from Schwarber over clubhouse energy from Bader?

The Philadelphia Phillies Can No Longer Hide Behind EXCUSES After Jays Push Dodgers To The Brink

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 3 Nov 2025 21:14:41 +0000

The Philadelphia Phillies face harsh reality after Toronto Blue Jays push Los Angeles Dodgers to seven games in the World Series. Can the front office finally admit their playoff excuses no longer hold water?

Connor Thomas breaks down why the Blue Jays' competitive performance eliminates any justification for the Phillies' early postseason exit, arguing that Dave Dombrowski and Rob Thomson must make significant roster changes rather than running back the same core. The analysis covers potential trades involving Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm, and Bryson Stott, plus a comprehensive evaluation of free agent pitcher Dylan Cease and whether signing him would block Andrew Painter's development. Key discussion includes the Dodgers' spending strategy fueling salary cap debates, critical offseason dates from free agency opening through winter meetings, and why the Phillies' second-best record doesn't reflect their true championship potential.

Bo Bichette Could TRANSFORM The Philadelphia Phillies Offense Into Contact Hitting Powerhouse

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 21:23:28 +0000

The Philadelphia Phillies explore major infield upgrades as free agency looms. Could Bo Bichette or Alex Bregman reshape the roster for a championship run?

Connor Thomas analyzes two premium free agent targets for the Philadelphia Phillies' infield reconstruction. Bichette's elite contact skills would transform the Philadelphia Phillies from a strikeout-heavy power lineup to a balanced offensive attack, though moving Trea Turner to second base complicates the fit. Bregman emerges as the ideal Alec Bohm replacement if the Philadelphia Phillies trade their third baseman, bringing championship pedigree and consistent power production. The discussion covers contract projections ranging from seven-year deals to potential nine-figure commitments, plus how these acquisitions would impact Bryson Stott, Bryce Harper, and the team's postseason approach.

A Halloween-themed segment examines the scariest challenges facing the organization, including the core's declining postseason trajectory, Zach Wheeler's uncertain health future, and contract decisions that could define the next decade.

The analysis shifts to Philadelphia's mental barriers—why veterans like Bryce Harper, Trey Turner, and Kyle Schwarber seem burdened by postseason pressure compared to the team's fearless 2022 run.

PHILLIES POSTCAST: Phillies lose NLDS in GUT PUNCH FASHION, fall in Game 4, 2-1 in 11 innings!

It's OVER! The Philadelphia Phillies fall to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 2-1 in 11 innings ending their short-lived playoff run.

Orion Kerkering seemed like he was going to get out of a bases loaded two-out jam when he got Andy Pages to top a sinker back to the mound, but that's when everything fell apart. Kerkering failed to field the ball cleanly, then appeared to rush the play and threw WIDELY to home instead of taking the mush easier throw to home, allowing the game-winning and series-clinching run to score.

PHILLIES POSTCAST: Phillies STAY ALIVE, top the Dodgers 8-2 in Gm3 of NLDS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 9 Oct 2025 05:05:33 +0000

Aaron Nola and Ranger Suarez combined to pitch seven-scoreless, while Kyle Schwarber hit two homers as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-2!

Aaron Nola opened things up for the Phillies getting through two scoreless innings allowing just two base runners. Then Ranger Suarez took over in the 3rd inning. The lefty allowed a homer to Tommy Edman on the first pitch he threw then settled in to toss four scoreless innings after that.

The Phillies offense picked up in the top of the 4th inning with Kyle Schwarber BLASTED a 455ft home run to right left center filed that bounced off the overhang beyond the bleachers in right field. The Phillies went on to add two more runs in the inning on an Alec Bohm single and throwing error that allowed Bryce Harper to score. Then Brandon Marsh came up with a sac fly RBI to left.

The surge helped run Dodgers starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto after allowing three runs on six hits over just four-plus innings of work.

In the 8th, Philly put up a five spot! JT Realmuto started off the inning with a solo homer to left/center off Klayton Kershaw. Then Trea Turner plated two with a single to right. And as fate would have it, the man who started the Phillies scoring, also capped it off. Kyle Schwarber hit his second homer of the game with a solo homer to right.

Kershaw allowed four runs on five hits over two innings.

PHILLIES POSTCAST: Phillies LOSE NLDS Gm2, 4-3 as Dodgers take 2-0 series lead

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 7 Oct 2025 02:29:07 +0000

The Philadelphia Phillies' 9th Inning Rally comes up short as they lose to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-3!

Blake Snell and Jesus Luzardo were locked in a pitcher's duel through the 6th inning, holding the opposition scoreless.

In the 7th, the Dodgers took Luzardo for a single and a double to start off the inning, putting runners on 2nd and 3rd with no out. Orion Kerkering took over for Luzardo and allowed both his inherited runners to score. Matt Strahm then relieved Kerkering and surrendered an RBI single to Shohei Ohtani. Four runs crossed the plate in total in the inning.

The Phillies got one run back in the 8th on a Trea Turner RBI single and two more in the 9th on a Nick Castellanos two-run double.

PHILLIES POSTCAST: Phillies BLOW Gm1 of NLDS vs Dodgers, 5-3

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 5 Oct 2025 02:43:15 +0000

Christopher Sanchez was brilliant through 5.2 innings, but left a slider up a little too much to Enrique Hernandez in the 6th, and the Dodgers’ third baseman put it into the left field corner for a two-run double.

Sanchez was pulled for David Robertson and Robertson got his man as Max Muncy bounced one back to Robertson for the final out of the inning.

However, for the first time this season, Robertson was asked to come back out after already working in one inning, an “up/down” in other words and the gamble did NOT pay off. Robertson allowed two base runners to start the 7th before being pulled for Matt Strahm. Strahm retired the first two batters he faced, then surrendered a three-run homer to Teoscar Hernandez that gave the Dodgers a 5-3 lead.

The Phillies loaded the bases with two outs in the 8th, but pinch-hitter Edmundo Sosa flew out to center to end the threat.

Jesus Luzardo gets the start in game two against the Dodgers’ Blake Snell.

PHILLIES POSTCAST: Phillies Hit TEAM RECORD 8 HRs in 11-1 win over Marlins

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 02:15:45 +0000

The Philadelphia Phillies set a new franchise record with 8 home runs in a game as they stomp the Miami Marlins, 11-1.

Edmundo Sosa led the way with three on the night while driving in five runs, and Kyle Schwarber followed suit with a two-homer night for his 55th and 56th homers of the season. Schwarber is now just two home runs shy of tying Ryan Howard’s franchise record of 58 set in 2007.

Alec Bohm, Otto Kemp and Bryson Stott also got in on the power parade with homers of their own.

Not to be outdone, Jesus Luzardo dealt over seven innings, allowing just one run while striking out 10. He allowed just three hits and no walks over his outing, lowering his ERA on the season from 4.08 going into the night, to 3.92.

PHILLIES POSTCAST: Phillies FALL to Diamondbacks, 4-3

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 03:49:32 +0000

Aaron Nola and the Philadelphia Phillies couldn't find any late-inning magic as they lose to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 4-3.

Aaron Nola went 5.1ip allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks. Nola was pulled in the 6th inning after allowing back-to-back doubles. Tanner Banks took over in the 6th and needed 28 pitches to record the final two outs of the inning.

The Phillies went into that 6th inning leading 3-2 thanks to an Alec Bohm solo homer, his 10th of the season. That helped expand the Phillies offense after a two-run first inning.

PHILLIES POSTCAST: Phillies DOWN the Diamondbacks, 8-2

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 05:47:24 +0000

The Philadelphia Phillies open their three-game series in Arizona with an 8-2 win over the Diamondbacks!

Harrison Bader led the offense with three hits on the night including his 17th homer of the season as Alec Bohm returned from an I.L. Stint to drive in three runs on two hits. But it was Nick Castellanos who stole the show. Casty entered the game as a pinch hitter for Max Kepler in the 6th inning and he went on to hit a two-run homer in the 7th and drive in another run in the 9th for a three RBI night.

The piggy-back pitching idea of Taijuan Walker to Walker Buehler worked out well as the two combined for 7.2ip allowing just two runs. Both runs were surrendered by Taijuan Walker in the 1st inning.

The Dodgers had another rally in them though as Ohtani lead off the bottom of the 8th with a solo homer, his 50th of the season, then Alex Call tied the game at six with a bases loaded sac fly RBI.

In the 9th, LA had the Phillies down to their final out. Then Weston Wilson smacked a double, Bryson Stott was walked intentionally and Rafael Marchan played the hero with his three run homer.

Christopher Sanchez started for the Phillies and went seven innings allowing four runs on seven hits and did not issue a walk.
