Podcast appearances and mentions of Kyle Schwarber

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.

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. (33:20-42:25) – Checking the text line again and prepping for the 8:00 hour.

Why do numbers only matter when discussing Jalen Hurts? Would you move Kyle Schwarber to LF if it meant adding a DH? Tom and Tony discuss this along with a trip around the Philly Sports Scene......Welcome to Philly Sports Unfiltered – where passion meets raw perspective!Hosted by Tom Arnone and Tony Cutillo, this is your new go-to show for no-holds-barred takes on everything Philly sports. From the Eagles and Phillies to the Sixers and Flyers, nothing is off-limits. Expect bold opinions, heated debates, and real “unfiltered” talk, the way only Philly fans can deliver it.

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. Segments include: VetPhact, VetLine, Prem's MLB Picks.Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA) 

Blake Murphy and Julia Kreuz recap Alejandro Kirk hitting another homer, the decision to bring in Jeff Hoffman for one hitter, the benefits of being a low-strikeout/high-contact team and more. Former Blue Jay Bengie Molina (30:30) joins to talk Cardinals and the 2006 Toronto Blue Jays. Davy Andrews (49:56) dives into Kirk's power, the Twins and Kyle Schwarber (1:14:55).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

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. What is going on with the Phillies offense? With Bryce Harper out, who steps up to be a contributor along with Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner and Nick Castellanos?

To celebrate our 300th podcast episode, Jim answers questions from the listeners. He discusses Pascal Siakam and his Hall of Fame future (6:20), fills out a 2015 Baseball Hall of Fame ballot 10 years too late (16:00), covers past MVP snubs that had major Hall of Fame repercussions (26:30), provides an answer to whether he really thinks Kyle Schwarber has a chance at ending up in Cooperstown (40:45), and much more!

Lastly, a preview of the next series that will be at home versus the Chicago Cubs.

The Phillies' offense fell flat against the Pirates in their 2-1 loss on Saturday but, to make matters worse, Bryce Harper shared some concerning news about the right wrist inflammation that landed him on the 10-day IL. Corey Seidman discusses that and more:00:55 - Bryce Harper hitting the 10-day IL5:07 - Phillies' struggling outfielders 7:43 - Otto Kemp makes his MLB debut10:20 - The state of the starting rotation14:50 - Could Justin Crawford get called up soon?

What can we expect from the pitching matchups of Joe Ross vs. Bailey Falter; Ranger Suarez vs. Andrew Heaney; and Cristopher Sanchez vs. Paul Skenes? Can Oneil Cruz and the offense finally score some runs to support Skenes' superb pitching? Why are Trea Turner and Kyle Schwarber among players to watch in this series? And what is Noah's bold prediction? He tackles those questions and more.

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?

Bryce Harper is back in the Phillies' lineup, after getting hit by a pitch on his right elbow last week. He homered in his first at-bat in the Phils' victory in Toronto.Trea Turner homered twice, too.

The Phillies had a 2.5 game lead in the NL East before the last episode of Phillies Talk on Friday.

Kyle Schwarber looking to stay hot at the plate32:39 - Is Zack Wheeler a Hall of Famer?

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. Realmuto and Rafael Marchan, how Kyle Schwarber has turned into a complete player and his future with the team.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

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?

In hour 2, Joe, Hugh and Kyle are listening to what Phillies manager Rob Thomson has to say about the initial X-ray's coming back on Bryce Harper's injured elbow. 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!

On today's show, the WIP Midday Show want to bring former first baseman Rhys Hoskins back! They believe it can bolster the Phillies bats without relinquishing too much in the field!

Plus, the midday show is joined by Scott Franzke to break down this week's series vs the Braves and preview the series with the Brewers. And, Eliot Shorr-Parks joins the show to break down the first week of Eagles OTA's. As well as an update in the Kyle Schwarber contract situation, checking in on pitching prospect Andrew Painter, Bryce Huff getting traded to the 49ers and more!

Tek & Prem discuss the Eagles first OTAs of the offseason, with position battles looming and a fresh energy in the air. The Draft Class is strong, yet again, and the veterans are in place as the Birds prepare for a run at a repeat Super Bowl Championship. The Jalen Hurts doubters have multiplied, once again, and the Jordan-Brand representative has another year ahead of him proving them all wrong. Training Camp is around the corner. The Phillies boast the best winning percentage in the National League as they get set for a trio of games against the Brewers at the Bank this weekend. After taking 2 of 3 from the Braves at home this week, they will look to stay on track against an underachieving, .500 Milwaukee ball club. Kyle Schwarber continues his torrid pace of power, sitting tied for 2nd in MLB with 19 HR. Trea has come on strong in May, hitting .302 overall, which is good for 13th in baseball. Pitching will continue to lead the way, and with the trade deadline approaching in July, moves or a big move is expected to bolster this beleaguered and inconsistent bullpen. Segments include: VetPhact, Prem's MLB Picks.Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)

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.
