Depth Trap: What Could Be the Phillies Fatal Flaw | Ep 85 | 6/12/26 | Phightin' Words
Bob and Ant look back at the Phillies series win over the Blue Jays and look ahead to the big series in Milwaukee (Misiorowski vs. Painter! Yikes!) through the lens of the Adolis Garcia injury and how ill-equipped the team is to handle even the smallest adversities as far as personnel is concerned because they are way too top heavy and have a pretty bare cupboard of reserves. The guys also wonder, are they running Jhoan Duran into the ground? Speaking of closers, one last thing today looks at another closer's hypothetical demand for an apology. Follow Anthony on X.

Bob and Ant discuss a mostly successful weekend series win against the White Sox as the offense showed up, finally. The question though is, did it arrive to stay with the warm weather, or did it just take advantage of a subpar White Sox pitching staff?

Also, Brandon Marsh continues to be a revelation, Why are they making Justin Crawford a platoon player? Kyle Schwarber hitting singles all of the sudden, and the guys wonder who is going to win the AL MVP with Aaron Judge being hurt. Follow Anthony on X. Follow Bob on X. Want more Flyers talk?

Phillies Learn to "Mind the Gap" Against Dodgers | Ep 82 | 6/1/2026 | Phightin' Words
The Phillies had a winning road trip in Southern California, yet it doesn't quite feel that way. That's because a weekend series against the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers showed just how much of a chasm there is between these two franchises at the moment. And the Phillies appear no closer to figuring out how to bridge it. Bob and Ant discuss that, and look ahead to a homestand against San Diego and the surprising Chicago White Sox.
