Philadelphia Phillies reliever, Matt Strahm, has not pitched in a Spring Training game in nearly two weeks due to shoulder soreness. Strahm now says he's not feeling pain anymore, and will begin ramping back up, but he could be jeopardy of missing out on the Opening Day roster, and instead, hit the IL to begin the year. Who would take Strahm's spot on the 26-man roster if he is put on the IL? Plus, Cole Hamels is part of a bad first-year Hall of Fame candidate list for 2025 and our bold prediction for the NL Central.

Entering 2025, the BlueClaws have played 3,001 regular season games, and only once has a player hit three home runs. That was Jake Blalock, who did so on May 20, 2004 in a game at Lexington.

Tek & Prem welcome John Foley of PHLY Sports on the VetLine to talk Phils. They welcome in Arizona for an NLCS Rematch over the weekend. Cole Hamels retirement night will start it off and there should be great energy in the building. The Diamondbacks come in hot but still have much to prove, during a season where they have not performed like NL champs. As the trade deadline approaches it is abundantly clear that the outfield is lacking offensively. With the demotion of Rojas, the Phils have employed a platoon in LF and CF and there are big questions. To win a World Series you have to be solid from top to bottom. The Eagles are working their way towards Training Camp, which is still a month away. The comments coming out of the building have been interesting to say the least. The Sixers are in desperation mode, seemingly entertaining any and all acquisition possibilities.

The Phillies don't win the 2008 World Series without Cole Hamels. He went 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in five postseason starts, winning World Series MVP and NLCS MVP honors in the process.

The old-school stats say so, but so do the new ones. Hamels ranks 11th all-time in WAR by a Phillies player, according to Baseball Reference, just behind Jimmy Rollins and Bobby Abreu, and just ahead of Chuck Klein and Curt Schilling.
