Podcast appearances and mentions of Dave Dombrowski

#shegone founder Jeff Frye hosts long time Phillies great Larry Bowa. The two talk about rule changes that have taken away both toughness and technique from the game- plays at the plate and 2nd base. They mull over the proper role of analytics in the game. They share a common mindset in that players at the lower levels are being rushed through the system & that we're too focused on teaching players about individual metrics ... rather than teaching them how to win. Great tributes to Dave Dombrowski, Charlie Manuel, Rob Thompson, Perry Hill, and Ryne Sanberg. At the end, two former big league middle infielders dish on the how the love of the game, discipline, and effort are the common denominators needed for success ... experience builds both toughness and intuition.

The Philadelphia Phillies were swept by the Houston Astros in a three game series, scoring just ONE run over 27 innings. The starting pitching was EXCELLENT, giving up just 3 earned runs, and Phillies pitching gave up just 5 all series, but the offense was non-existent. Up next, three games with the Atlanta Braves. Plus, could Dave Dombrowski target a power bat from the Los Angeles Angels at the Trade Deadline?

Hour 1: Ike, Spike and Fritz are discussing the Phillies at the halfway point of the season and if this is a team worth going all in for at the trade deadline.

The 94 WIP Morning team, with Jody Mac in for Jon Ritchie, worries about the Phillies as the trade deadline nears. They fear Dave Dombrowski might wait too long to make a move. Joe DeCamara wonders if age is hurting the Phillies' offense. The show also discusses the Sixers' draft pick, VJ Edgecombe, and the first round of Joe vs Jack: a golf match happening this Sunday!

The 94 WIP Morning team, with Jody Mac in for Jon Ritchie, is a little worried about the way the Phillies look heading into the trade deadline. Sooner or later, it feels like Dave Dombrowski needs to make a move. Jody Mac is worried that Dombrowski may wait to long to trade for someone and then they become unavailable.

The Phillies lack of batting prowess was the talk of the week as the Phillies only drove in 1 run in 27 innings! Yet Phillies GM Dave Dombrowski says it's unlikely they'll be aggressive in getting a new batter to this lineup. If Dombrowski and the Phillies don't secure a new batter how much criticism should they receive?

In hour 2, Joe, Hugh and Kyle are discussing the Philadelphia 76ers draft in totality after round 2 wrapped up last with the Sixers selecting Johni Broome. With Broome and V.J. Edgecombe being winners in college could this be a culture change with these younger, hungrier players? And, Dave Dombrowski tells Phillies fans to not expect a new bat added to the lineup at the deadline!

The Sixers draft VJ Edgecombe out of Baylor University with the 3rd overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He has some great tools and a very athletic style of play and will likely slide right into the Guard rotation. The question remains however, if the Sixers can make it out of the 2nd Round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. Joel Embiid and Paul George will be one year older, and the skepticism over their ability to stay healthy enough to play even 50 games total together remains. The Phillies were swept in Houston while the pitching staff allowed just 5 runs combined. Suarez, Wheeler, and Sanchez were masterful, but the offense was in hibernation. With the trade deadline looming, Tek & Prem discuss the possible scenarios with key prospects and potential trade pieces on the active roster. A weekend series in Atlanta against the Braves, who are heating up, will provide more clarity regarding the Phillies recent offensive slumber. The Flyers add a young player with a lot of upside in a pre-draft trade and the NHL Draft is on deck.

He gives his thoughts on how the Phils are looking so far this season, is the window closing on the current roster, how he prepares for the Trade Deadline, how he likes to put together a roster, what spots can they improve the team at the deadline, what's the future of a few of their upcoming free agents and much more.Strange But True: Christian Yelich has one of the best days of his career last week vs the Twins, but there is a very weird aspect to his monster day.Trivia: Question from Zack Farber- Kyle Shwarber and Eugenio Suarez both recently joined the 300 HR club.

Hour 4: Ike, Spike and Fritz wrap up the show by playing audio from Phillies President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski who discusses the upcoming free agency of Kyle Schwarber and Ranger Suarez.

The 94 WIP Morning Show is deeply disappointed in the way the Phillies game ended last night. Joe DeCamara wants Rob Thomson to manage the moment properly. Down 1-0 in the 9th, the Morning team doesn't think Rojas should have been up to bat. Dave Dombrowski still hasn't set this team up for success.

The 94 WIP Morning team is a little perplexed by Bryce Harper's injury. It seems mysterious- no one can really pin point it. Dave Dombrowski gave an update on Harper and there was seemingly no clear answer about when he'd be back. Aaron Nola is also injured and there doesn't seem to be a clear timeline for his return either.

The 94 WIP Morning Show welcomes Ben Davis back from the College World Series where he was watching his son play for Louisville! The Morning Show wonders if the problem with the Phillies is more than just the players. They question if Rob Thomson needs to manage better and if Dave Dombrowski is also to blame for not building the team properly. Spike Eskin joins the show to detail what the Sixers should do tonight in the draft. Spike thinks the Sixers should trade the 3rd overall pick for assets.

The 94 WIP Morning Show is upset about how the Phillies game ended. They believe Rob Thomson should have managed the end of the game better, especially not letting Rojas bat in the 9th when down by one run. The team also thinks Dave Dombrowski hasn't built a winning team. Most of the Morning team agrees the Sixers should draft Ace Bailey, while Jon Ritchie prefers Kon Knueppel.

The 94 WIP Morning Show is unhappy about the Phillies' loss, blaming Rob Thomson for leaving Rojas to bat with 2 outs in the 9th and Dave Dombrowski for not building a better roster. Who should really get the blame? They also debate who the Sixers should draft, with most liking Ace Bailey and Jon Ritchie preferring Kon Knueppel. Spike Eskin joins the show to talk about the Sixers draft and suggests trading the 3rd pick, maybe for assets? The NBA Draft starts tonight! The Morning team welcomed Ben Davis back from watching his son Tague play in the College World Series. Take a trip to the past with Joe DeCamara's Bathtub Time Machine and re-visit Philly's history when drafting 3rd overall, across all sports.

We asked you for your Phillies questions and you delivered once again.We got a TON of questions about the July 31 trade deadline, but we also got plenty about the Phillies' impending free agents and more. Those questions included Ranger Suárez, who allowed one run in seven-plus innings in Tuesday night's 1-0 loss in Houston. We start with Ranger, but we get into Dave Dombrowski's wish list. Is a closer in the Phillies' future? If so, who? We also discuss potential bats to help the Phillies in the outfield.Jim tells us how he spanks his tomatoes, too.The Phillies Show is partnering with Shibe Vintage Sports to give away a different vintage Phillies hat each week!

The WIP Morning Team breaks down what moves Dave Dombrowski and the Phillies need to make before the trade deadline to gear up for a deep postseason run. They also push back on the ongoing doubt surrounding Jalen Hurts, questioning how anyone can still criticize him after his clutch performances. Plus, a look at Otto Kemp's surprising impact and how he's given the Phillies a much-needed spark.

The WIP Morning Team discusses what will Dave Dombrowski do at the trade deadline. They also talk about Bryce Harper's timeline for return and what that will look like.

The WIP Morning Team discusses the Phillies weekend series against the Mets. James Seltzer in for Joe DeCamara, the team speculates as to Joe's whereabouts. They also listen to Bryce Harper give an update on his injury and his timeline to return to the lineup. The group discusses players that have thrived recently, like Alec Bohm and Otto Kemp. With the trade deadline coming up, they talk about what Dave Dombrowski must do in the coming weeks to get the bullpen and outfield ready for the playoffs. Finally, they listen to Time's Yours calls and talk about the Sixers upcoming draft choice.

The Philadelphia Phillies will, no doubt, be looking at bullpen help come Trade Deadline time. And one name that many Phillies fans want Dave Dombrowski to pursue is Boston Red Sox closer, Aroldis Chapman. And while Chapman is having an excellent season, here's why a different Red Sox reliever could make sense for the Phillies.

In hour 2, Joe, Hugh and Kyle are reacting to a Dave Dombrowski quote that Bryce Harper may already be medically cleared to play! But he is choosing to take his team to make his return. How soon should Bryce Harper return? Plus, Devan Kaney joins the show to give her opinion of the Nick Castellanos benching.

As Bryce Harper continues to take his time to recover Dave Dombrowski is not worried at all! In fact he says that Harper is actually been cleared to return it just up to whenever he's comfortable to return! How do you feel about this update from Dave Dombrowski?

Tek & Prem welcome The Philly Quizmaster and co-owner of Shibe Vintage Sports, Johnny Goodtimes, on the VetLine to talk Birds, Sixers, and his unique Kobe Bryant meeting. The Eagles Preseason is less than 2 months away, and minicamps have been very interesting. With an infusion of youth and energy, the Super Bowl Champs are close to beginning their march towards a repeat Lombardi Trophy in the 2025 NFL Season. Jalen Hurts seems to have galvanized his doubters, who are out at an all-time high, but as we discuss, that may serve to blow up in all of their faces. Another dinner with Michael Jordan before a Super Bowl could be on the horizon. The Phillies will only compete for a World Series if some drastic moves are made at the trade deadline, and it remains to be seen if the Front Office shares that sentiment, with the All-Star Break just a month away. Bryce Harper is still out with a wrist injury, although he has resumed baseball activities.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg discuss the latest around Major League Baseball. Juan Soto's struggles, the Dodgers slump and futures bets to make right now! In this episode, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers dissect a range of MLB storylines, with a heavy focus on Juan Soto's troubled transition to the Mets. Soto's recent on-field behavior—particularly his lack of hustle on a hit off the Green Monster and only securing one hit across three games against the Yankees—sparked criticism. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza announced plans to speak with Soto about his effort. Towers emphasized how professional athletes are expected to hustle regardless of performance, especially when part of a new organization. He critiqued Soto's declining stats (.246 average in 2025, subpar defense) and called out the media narrative that built him up unrealistically since his 2020 breakout. He believes the $765 million valuation raised unsustainable expectations. Michael Kay, based on conversations with Mets and Yankees insiders, claimed Soto appears “glum” and without joy. Soto reportedly preferred to remain a Yankee, but his family urged him to accept the Mets' offer. Towers, who played for both franchises, praised the Yankees for their professionalism and structure, saying it fosters respect and accountability. In contrast, he noted that the Mets, while improving, still lack the Yankees' foundational stability. Scott and Josh then evaluated the NL East race. Seidenberg endorsed betting on the Phillies to win the division at +130, noting their strong veteran core (Harper, Schwarber, Wheeler) and manager Dave Dombrowski's history of bold moves. Josh echoed this but pointed out the Phillies' need for young talent infusion, something they've lacked in recent years. They also discussed the Braves' resurgence, who started 0-8 but have since gone 24-15, with key players like Max Fried returning. Shifting to the Dodgers, both hosts criticized Dave Roberts' pitching management. The team's constant injuries and overuse of bullpen arms have led to four consecutive home losses. Towers questioned the effectiveness of the organization's throwing programs and training strategies. Despite Yamamoto's reliability, the rest of the rotation, including Snell, Glasnow, and Kershaw, remains inconsistent or injured. Fried's Cy Young candidacy was explored in depth. With a 1.29 ERA and consistent dominance, Josh called him the clear front-runner. Other contenders like Robbie Ray, Hunter Brown, and Chris Bubik were noted, though Fried's consistency set him apart. On the offensive side, Pete Crow Armstrong's recent surge sparked MVP speculation, but Josh dismissed it due to his relatively weak OBP and limited consistency. Attention turned to the Texas Rangers, whose rotation (deGrom, Eovaldi, Mowley) and improving offense make them serious contenders. The coaching shift toward personalized, non-analytic-heavy hitting plans has improved their situational batting. They also discussed trade rumors including Bo Bichette, Kenley Jansen, and Sandy Alcantara potentially moving before the deadline. The Orioles and Rockies came under fire for poor development. The Rockies' minus-150 run differential led Scott to predict they might break the all-time worst record. Josh argued that both teams lack direction and accountability, especially with player growth and clubhouse culture. Lastly, home field advantage in 2025 has reached historic levels, with home teams winning 56.5% of games, the best rate since 2005. Betting trends show high returns for home favorites, and Seidenberg emphasized this is a year to follow such patterns. The hosts closed with MVP and Cy Young betting odds, a promo for Pregame.com, and a final note on the season's unpredictability and remaining opportunities. Learn more about your ad choices.

He critiqued Soto's declining stats (.246 average in 2025, subpar defense) and called out the media narrative that built him up unrealistically since his 2020 breakout. He believes the $765 million valuation raised unsustainable expectations. Michael Kay, based on conversations with Mets and Yankees insiders, claimed Soto appears “glum” and without joy. Soto reportedly preferred to remain a Yankee, but his family urged him to accept the Mets' offer. Towers, who played for both franchises, praised the Yankees for their professionalism and structure, saying it fosters respect and accountability. In contrast, he noted that the Mets, while improving, still lack the Yankees' foundational stability. Scott and Josh then evaluated the NL East race. Seidenberg endorsed betting on the Phillies to win the division at +130, noting their strong veteran core (Harper, Schwarber, Wheeler) and manager Dave Dombrowski's history of bold moves. Josh echoed this but pointed out the Phillies' need for young talent infusion, something they've lacked in recent years. They also discussed the Braves' resurgence, who started 0-8 but have since gone 24-15, with key players like Max Fried returning. Shifting to the Dodgers, both hosts criticized Dave Roberts' pitching management. The team's constant injuries and overuse of bullpen arms have led to four consecutive home losses. Towers questioned the effectiveness of the organization's throwing programs and training strategies. Despite Yamamoto's reliability, the rest of the rotation, including Snell, Glasnow, and Kershaw, remains inconsistent or injured. Fried's Cy Young candidacy was explored in depth. With a 1.29 ERA and consistent dominance, Josh called him the clear front-runner. Other contenders like Robbie Ray, Hunter Brown, and Chris Bubik were noted, though Fried's consistency set him apart. On the offensive side, Pete Crow Armstrong's recent surge sparked MVP speculation, but Josh dismissed it due to his relatively weak OBP and limited consistency. Attention turned to the Texas Rangers, whose rotation (deGrom, Eovaldi, Mowley) and improving offense make them serious contenders. The coaching shift toward personalized, non-analytic-heavy hitting plans has improved their situational batting. They also discussed trade rumors including Bo Bichette, Kenley Jansen, and Sandy Alcantara potentially moving before the deadline. The Orioles and Rockies came under fire for poor development. The Rockies' minus-150 run differential led Scott to predict they might break the all-time worst record. Josh argued that both teams lack direction and accountability, especially with player growth and clubhouse culture. Lastly, home field advantage in 2025 has reached historic levels, with home teams winning 56.5% of games, the best rate since 2005. Betting trends show high returns for home favorites, and Seidenberg emphasized this is a year to follow such patterns. The hosts closed with MVP and Cy Young betting odds, a promo for Pregame.com, and a final note on the season's unpredictability and remaining opportunities. Learn more about your ad choices.
