About this episode

John Stolnis and Liz Roscher discuss the Phillies' recent series loss and the implications for the team's management and fanbase.

Another series loss in which the offensive went limp, the starting pitching was inconsistent and the bullpen blew a late lead Sunday. All in all, a typical 2026 Phillies series thus far! John Stolnis and Liz Roscher discuss the Phils' series against the Diamondbacks. How much rope does manager Rob Thomson and hitting coach Kevin Long have? Is the fanbase the unhappiest it's been since the beginning of the rebuild?
