Podcast appearances and mentions of Kyle Schwarber

On Episode 982 of Hittin' Season, powered by WHYY, the Good Phight's John Stolnis, Justin Klugh of Baseball Prospectus and Liz Roscher from SABR's Baseball Research Journal discuss the historic pitching performance of Zack Wheeler and why the Phillies cannot waste his performance, and the starting rotation, by being passive at the trade deadline. Also, thoughts on All Stars Wheeler and Kyle Schwarber, snubs, and concerns over Bryce Harper's wrist continue.

KB is BACK and fresh off of a visit to Citizens Bank Park witnessing GREATNESS as Zack Wheeler put on a masterclass performance to close out a series win against the Reds: A ONE HIT COMPLETE GAME! KB waxes poetic on Wheeler and why we need to appreciate him even more. Then he discusses the MLB All-Stars and Trea Turner, Cristopher Sanchez, and Ranger Suarez getting snubbed from joining Wheeler and Kyle Schwarber in Atlanta. Then he goes over the latest Underground Stats & Info, gets annoyed by the Union getting ROBBED of a win, and V.J. Edgecombe's Summer League debut.

Coming off a series win over the Reds this weekend, Sean Kane and Spencer McKercher are in awe over Zack Wheeler's brilliance, but question why there wasn't more Phillies in the 2025 All-Star game.

The MLB All Star roster was released over the weekend. And the most notable thing for Phillies fans is only Zack Wheeler made it as a starter! Kyle Schwarber was voted as a reserve but no Trea Turner, Ranger Suarez and more among others. How many Phillies did you think were snubbed from the All Star game?

In hour 3, the WIP Midday Show are reacting to the fact that only 2 Phillies players were voted into the MLB All Star game and only 1 as a starter. Zack Wheeler made it as a starting pitcher and Kyle Schwarber as a reserve. Should more Phillies have been voted in as all stars? Plus, it's time for the Phillies to let Andrew Painter have a go amidst consistent changes at the bottom of the starting rotation!

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to two-time Home Run Derby champion Pete Alonso of the New York Mets saying yesterday that he will not be participating in the Derby this year in Atlanta. Mike, Beau, and Ali explain why they think it's good that Alonso won't be in the Derby this year. The Morning Shift crew also reacts to Philadelphia Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber saying yesterday that he won't be part of the derby, and react to the news that Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to pass on the Home Run Derby as well. Mike, Beau, and Ali also explain why they think that there's no reason Ronald Acuña Jr. shouldn't be a favorite to win this year's Home Run Derby.

HR3 - Braves' season probably over after falling to season low 11 games under .500 In hour three Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac let listeners call in and talk about if they think Jessie Bates being ranked number 92 on this year's NFL Top 100 list is disrespectful to Jessie Bates, if they are working their dream job, what their dream job is, if they've ever offended someone on accident, or gave someone what they thought was a compliment but was really an insult in The Wake Up Call! Then, Mike, Beau, and Ali continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves getting swept in their three game home series against the Baltimore Orioles after a 2-1 loss yesterday. The Morning Shift crew also talks about how the Braves' playoff hopes have now gone down the drain with them now being a season low 11 games under .500 after being swept by Orioles this weekend. Mike, Beau, and Ali also react to two-time Home Run Derby champion Pete Alonso of the New York Mets saying yesterday that he will not be participating in the Derby this year in Atlanta. The Morning Shift crew also explains why they think it's good that Alonso won't be in the Derby this year. Mike, Beau, and Ali crew also react to Philadelphia Phillies' slugger Kyle Schwarber saying yesterday that he won't be part of the derby, and react to the news that Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to pass on the Home Run Derby as well. The Morning Shift crew also explains why they think that there's no reason Ronald Acuña Jr. shouldn't be a favorite to win this year's Home Run Derby. Finally, Mike, Beau, and Ali close out hour three by diving into the life of Beau “Squidbilly” Morgan in The Life of Squid!

Baseball's signature home run hitting event will be missing two of the sport's most notable sluggers. Correspondent Gethin Coolbaugh reports.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about the latest news in Major League Baseball with a look ahead to Best Bets in the market. The July 7 episode of The Inside Pitch with Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers centered on the midseason shakeups in MLB, notably the firing of Nationals manager Davey Martinez and GM Mike Rizzo. Martinez's quote deflecting blame from coaches—“It's never on coaching”—was harshly criticized by Towers, who emphasized the crucial role of coaching in player development. This led to a broader discussion on leadership accountability and the challenges of managing a young roster with high expectations. The hosts evaluated the Nationals' outlook following the firings. With a 37–53 record and 72 games remaining, Seidenberg questioned the team's ability to reach their 68.5 win total, citing the fifth-toughest remaining schedule and looming trade possibilities. Towers countered that the team has foundational talent like Gore and Wood but agreed the over/under is razor-thin. They discussed interim manager Miguel Cairo and speculated on potential trade departures such as Josh Bell, Jake Irvin, and Mike Soroka, though Skenes and McCutcheon were deemed untouchable. The All-Star roster reveal sparked debates on snubs and systemic bias. Towers pointed out how dominant middle relievers like Drew Pomeranz get overlooked despite elite performance. They applauded the Home Run Derby format and early participants (Acuña, Wood, Cal Raleigh), with Seidenberg already looking to handicap the bracket once the field is announced. Pete Alonso and Kyle Schwarber have opted out, and the hosts emphasized the edge held by experienced derby hitters. The conversation shifted to awards betting. Joe Espada's odds for AL Manager of the Year dropped from 50:1 to 38:1 after Seidenberg's tip, bolstered by Houston's 55–35 record and 15 players on the IL. Towers praised their 32–14 home record and resilience without stars like Yordan Alvarez. They questioned why AJ Hinch remains a heavy favorite despite similar adversity being handled better in Houston. Pitching excellence featured heavily. Zach Wheeler's near-perfect game—12 Ks, no walks, 108 pitches—was dissected play-by-play. Towers highlighted his sequencing: late fastballs inside followed by slow curves to disrupt timing, calling it a clinic in in-out, soft-hard pitch selection. Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes were also celebrated for dominance and control. Skubal's K/BB ratio and Skenes' consistency paralleled deGrom's early Mets years, where low run support undermined elite outings. The Pirates became the first MLB team to record back-to-back three-game shutout sweeps both for and against—a historic anomaly. This led to a broader debate on whether the Pirates should trade Skenes. Towers warned doing so would cause fan revolt and questioned the club's long-term willingness to build around him. Comparisons were made to past wasted rotations including Cole, Liriano, and Burnett. Power rankings closed the show. Tigers ranked first for Towers, followed by Astros and Dodgers. Seidenberg backed the Astros' form and praised DeGrom's consistency, calling first-five bets with him and Skenes reliable. Strikeout prop strategies were discussed, with Sanchez's seven-game quality start streak singled out. Finally, the hosts previewed the coming All-Star Break special, which will feature full Home Run Derby betting breakdowns, midseason awards, and second-half predictions.

The Phillips Brothers, Cory and Eric, discuss the Philadelphia Phillies defeating the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 on July 5, 2025, at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies' offense was powered by home runs from Edmundo Sosa, Alec Bohm, and Kyle Schwarber, with Bohm's two-run homer in the sixth inning breaking a 1-1 tie and Schwarber's two-run shot in the eighth sealing the victory. Ranger Suárez pitched five innings for the Phillies, allowing one run on five hits with six strikeouts, while the bullpen held the Reds scoreless over the final four innings. Nick Lodolo took the loss for the Reds, giving up three runs, including Bohm's homer, despite the Reds collecting eight hits, with Will Benson's solo homer accounting for their only run. The Reds failed to capitalize on several scoring opportunities, leaving runners on base in key moments.     

Cory and Eric Phillips discuss the Cincinnati Reds defeating the Philadelphia Phillies 9-6 on July 4, 2025, at Citizens Bank Park. The Reds surged ahead with a five-run third inning, powered by key hits from TJ Friedl, Elly De La Cruz, and Spencer Steer, who drove in two runs. The Phillies fought back, with Nick Castellanos hitting a home run and driving in three runs, while Kyle Schwarber added a two-run double. Despite the Phillies' efforts, the Reds' offense, led by Steer and Tyler Stephenson, held on. Andrew Abbott struggled for the Reds, allowing four runs in 3.1 innings, while Jesús Luzardo took the loss for the Phillies, giving up six runs in two innings. The Reds' bullpen, including Sam Moll, secured the win

The Phillies salvaged a six-game road trip by winning two of three this weekend in Atlanta.They scored 13 runs on Friday, but only three runs the rest of the weekend. What can save this Phillies' offense? It should help to get Bryce Harper back in the lineup. He could return as early as Monday night's series opener against the Padres. But really this team is going to live and die with what they already have: Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm, etc. And maybe Otto Kemp. And maybe Justin Crawford. The external options to improve this lineup don't seem to be there, unless you think Jarren Duran, Taylor Ward, Cedric Mullins, Luis Robert Jr., Adolis Garcia are difference makers.Ranger Suárez is on another ridiculous run. What contract might he get in free agency?It's “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza!

As Kyle Schwarber gets back to his best of his hitting ways in recent weeks and the Phillies struggling outside of him the Phillies need to lock him down now! Especially as he keeps performing the price in free agency will only keep rising higher and higher and the suitors will creep up in more and more bunches!

In hour 2, Joe, Hugh and Kyle are talking about two different issues with the Phillies. One a long term and the other a short term issues. First the Phillies haven't scored a run in 2 games and the midday show is looking for the thing or person to blame for it. Secondly, Kyle Schwarber still remains unsigned as he continues to make it a more difficult contract the longer the Phillies wait.

On today's show, the WIP Midday Show is live from the Jason Kelce Beer Bowl in Sea Isle City! The midday show is also reacting to the Sixers selection of V.J. Edgecombe in the NBA Draft last night! Did this pick renew your hope in the Sixers? The midday show is also joined by special guests Ross Tucker and Cooper DeJean who are competing in Jason Kelce's Beer Bowl. As well as, looking into the Phillies run drought, Kyle Schwarber's contract situation, Edgecombe pro comparisons and more!

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 debates whether the Phillies can still win it all with this current core. After back-to-back postseason setbacks—falling from the World Series to an early NLDS exit—time may be running out. With key players like J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber in the final year of their contracts, is this the last ride for this group? Will the front office run it back or make big changes?

The 94 WIP Morning Show debates whether the Phillies can still win big with their current core. After three straight postseason setbacks — from the World Series to the NLCS to the NLDS — is it time for a shakeup? With key players like J.T. Realmuto and Kyle Schwarber in the final year of their contracts, the team questions if major changes are coming next season.

Ike, Spike and Fritz reveal the next two spots in the staff/listener Top 11 list in Jordan Mailata and Kyle Schwarber

Hour 1: Ike, Spike and Fritz are discussing the Phillies and Trea Turner's hot streak which leads into a debate between who is the more productive overall player, him or Kyle Schwarber.

The Morning Show rolls on as Joe DeCamara & Jody Mac take your calls on the Phillies. Plus Jody Mac's break mishap, & the latest in the Eagles offseason. Don't miss out!

This past week should have reminded everybody that baseball is a long season.The Phillies followed a gruesome 1-9 stretch – a lot of people thought they were dead -- with a 5-1 homestand against the Cubs and Blue Jays. The offense came to life against two playoff-caliber teams. Brandon Marsh (1.167 OPS), Alec Bohm (1.128 OPS), Otto Kemp (.898 OPS), J.T. Realmuto (.980 OPS), Max Kepler (1.300 OPS), Trea Turner (.820 OPS), Nick Castellanos (.808 OPS) and Kyle Schwarber (.869 OPS) each had big moments against the Cubs and Blue Jays. So did the rotation, led by Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suárez, Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo. First Pitch is powered by betPARX Sportsbook and Casino app.It's “Best Week” by Manco & Manco Pizza!

(00:00-12:58) – How will the defensive players that exited after last season ever be replaced? (12:58-21:38) – John is confident that the Eagles will be very good but wonders if he’s bluffing himself on the young players. (21:38-33:20) – Bryce Harper is publicly telling the Phillies fan base what he is “willing” to do if they can improve the roster. Rafael Devers just left Boston over the same issues.

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.

The Philadelphia Phillies were swept out of Pittsburgh by the Pirates this weekend, scoring just 6 runs across three games. They've not lost 3 straight series and nine of their last ten games, dropping their record to 37-28. They're not 4.5 games back of the New York Mets for the NL East lead.

In hour 1, the WIP Midday Show want to move Bryson Stott off of the leadoff hitter spot after failing to make much impact! And, with the Phillies starting to show flaws at the plate it's best to solve them now! The only thing the WIP Midday Show is split is what should the Phillies move to fix this batting order? Kyle Schwarber to lead off? Or even Trea Turner to lead? Who do you think the Phillies should move to lead off or should they just keep Stott there?

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look ahead to the Blue Jays series against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies and how significant the next few games will be for identifying Toronto's post-season hopes. Then, Ben Davis, Phillies TV analyst stops by (26:20) to chat about the team's offensive numbers, Trea Turner's hiccup in the infield and in his at-bats, where Philadelphia has their expectations levels at, Jordan Romano's turnaround since the start of the season, how they're splitting the workload between J.T.

As well as, some other experts who weigh in on the report and that leave the status of Harper still up in the air! Plus, an update to Kyle Schwarber's contract situation with the Phillies!

Kyle Schwarber's contract situation continues and there is a growing sense this will continue all the way until the end of the season until free agency. Are you comfortable with waiting that long to free agency or do you want to get Schwarber resigned before he has the ability to test free agency?

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg talk about players receiving threats, the Rockies ineptitude and other betting stories around Major League Baseball. In this episode of "The Inside Pitch" recorded on May 12, Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers discuss the controversy surrounding Lance McCullers Jr., his disastrous return, and the broader implications of gambling culture in MLB. McCullers, in his second start after a two-year injury hiatus, surrendered seven runs in a 10-run first inning against the Reds, registering just one out, giving up three hits, three walks, and one home run. Post-game, McCullers and his family received death threats, which Towers attributed to the toxic intersection of sports betting and fan entitlement. Towers emphasized that no athlete intentionally underperforms and that threatening players over wagers is unacceptable. Seidenberg concurred, adding that the accessibility of players via social media exacerbates the issue. McCullers expressed frustration, noting he only wants to perform for the Astros while ensuring his family's safety. Shifting focus to live betting strategies, Seidenberg recounted betting the Astros team total over 3.5 runs during the blowout, leveraging the assumption that weak bullpen arms would enter early. Towers supported this approach, explaining that such scenarios often lead to high-scoring games due to less effective relievers being used and pitchers potentially experimenting with pitches under low-pressure conditions. They dissected Brady Singer's outing, noting he stuck to his sinker-slider mix, throwing 30 sinkers, 15 sliders, and four cutters, struggling post the 45-minute delay. The discussion broadened to emphasize that blowouts offer learning opportunities for pitchers, enabling them to test pitches in-game situations they'd avoid in tighter contests. Attention turned to the Rockies' collapse, particularly their 21-0 loss to the Padres, followed by Bud Black's firing. Towers criticized the Rockies' misuse of pitchers, particularly exposing young arms like Blaylock to overwhelming situations, likely contributing to organizational dysfunction. Betting-wise, the Rockies were highlighted as historically profitable to fade, with 30 of their 33 losses by multiple runs and a 5-29 record in first-five innings. Seidenberg recommended automatic daily run line fades against the Rockies. Broader betting trends were analyzed, including the Mets' 29-12 first-five innings under record and the Royals' similar 30-12 mark. The Mariners surprisingly leaned to the over. The conversation shifted to player performance futures. Kyle Schwarber's 46-game on-base streak, 14 home runs, and .404 OBP were celebrated, with Seidenberg suggesting profitable betting strategies targeting Schwarber to reach base safely in his first plate appearance using various app markets. Josh Towers and Seidenberg also agreed that Freddie Freeman's .367 average and league-best OPS made him undervalued at +1100 for the NL MVP, criticizing how consistently elite players are often overlooked in futures markets. In Cy Young discussions, Wheeler was favored in the NL at +700 due to his 58 innings, 2.95 ERA, and 0.91 WHIP, while Skubal and Eovaldi were highlighted in the AL. Hunter Brown was noted as a legitimate contender, given his cleaned-up mechanics and plus stuff. The Rookie of the Year race saw Jacob Wilson as AL favorite, while Luis Angel Acuna led the NL despite modest power numbers, with Towers skeptical of his long-term viability. They concluded by discussing rookie dark horses and emphasized the difficulty pitchers face sustaining excellence across a full season, all while promoting Pregame.com's latest offers.
