The Phillies had a harrowing weekend in Washington, DC. They lost their ace, Zack Wheeler, potentially for the season. Aaron Nola got shelled in his first game back in three months. The offense was inconsistent. We all though Jhoan Duran was dead for a few minutes there. And yet, the Phils split their weekend series and went 6-4 on their 10-game road trip. On Episode 1000!!! of Hittin' Season, hosts John Stolnis, Justin Klugh and Liz Roscher spend the first half of the show allowing their dark thoughts to manifest before turning things over to the light for an optimistic look at the first place Phillies.
The Eagles acquired wide receiver John Metchie III and a 2026 sixth-round pick from the Texans in exchange for tight end Harrison Bryant and a 2026 fifth-round pick on Sunday, according to multiple reports. Sheil discusses the trade and what Metchie can bring to this Eagles offense (01:35). Plus, the Phillies were hit with some devastating news that ace pitcher and Cy Young candidate Zack Wheeler has a blood clot in his throwing arm and has been placed on the 15-day IL. How will Wheeler's injury affect their chances as the season winds down (20:39)? Email hot takes: Ringerphilly@gmail.com.

KB is BACK and kicks things off discussing the Phillies strange road trip and the unfortunate news that Zack Wheeler is out indefinitely with a blood clot near his shoulder. He discusses why he's more concerned about Zack Wheeler the person rather than the player, but also why this is a brutal blow to the Phillies rotation.

Then KB discusses #HowieSZN as the Eagles trade for John Metchie III and then wraps on the Philadelphia Union's loss to the New York Red Bulls for the first time in 17 games and Andre Blake getting injured being a huge blow to the game and moving forward.

Spike and Fritz are live from the Eagles Radio Network golf outing discussing the Zack Wheeler blood clot diagnosis from this past weekend. They implore the Phillies and the fans to "burn the boats" and not let the loss of Wheeler derail the season.
Spike and Fritz continue talking Phillies and discuss the job Rob Thomson has done as Phillies manager and what he has to do to elevate the team moving forward without Zack Wheeler.
Tom Kelly, Hunter Brody, and Ashlyn Sullivan in for the 94 WIP Morning Show react to the news from over the weekend that Zack Wheeler was placed on the 15-day IL for a blood clot in his shoulder. The Morning team does not feel good about the pitching staff without Wheeler getting closer to playoff time. Aaron Nola blew up yesterday, which doesn't inspire confidence that the Phillies can be ok without Wheeler. The Eagles made a trade for Wide Receiver John Methcie III- will this inspire more competition in the WR room? The Eagles secondary is a little scary. Cooper DeJean will now take snaps at outside Cornerback after Vic Fangio alludes today that he is unhappy with the way the other Cornerbacks have performed in camp. All that and Time's Yours!
Tom Kelly, Hunter Brody, and Ashlyn Sullivan are worried about the state of the Phillies starting pitching. Can the Phillies overcome the loss of Zack Wheeler?
Tom Kelly, Hunter Brody and Ashlyn Sullivan in for the 94 WIP Morning Show are not confident that the Phillies will overcome Zack Wheeler's absence as he was placed on the 15-day IL over the weekend. What is the Phillies' next course of action?
Tom Kelly, Hunter Brody, and Ashlyn Sullivan in for the Morning team react to the news that broke over the weekend that Zack Wheeler has a blood clot in his shoulder and was placed on the 15 day IL.
On today's show, the WIP Midday Show react to the devastating news Zack Wheeler will be placed on 15 day IL and potentially longer after a blood clot was found in Wheeler's right arm. But the midday show believes even with this bad news there is hope the Phillies can rally and still go on to win the World Series without Wheeler. Plus, the Eagles made another trade over the weekend for a WR despite having plenty of depth at the position. What could the trade with the Texans for WR John Metchie III mean for the Eagles WR room. As well as, Aaron Nola needing to step up in Wheeler's absence, Rob Thomson's commitment to giving Nick Castellanos more chances, Andrew Mukuba shining in preseason game vs the Browns, a final push from the Eagles to land Trey Hendrickson and more!
In hour 1, the WIP Midday Show are reacting to the news over the weekend that Zack Wheeler will be placed on the 15 day IL following a doctor finding a blood clot in Wheeler's right arm. Devastating news for the team as many medical professionals think this could eventually end his season. But despite this heartbreaking news can the Phillies still solider on to win the the World Series?
Aaron Nola made his return to the Phillies starting lineup yesterday and it was a start to forget. As Nola had to be pulled after just 2 innings pitched giving up 7 hits and 6 runs. With the Zack Wheeler injury news, the WIP Midday Show says Aaron Nola needs to start putting together some good starts ASAP!
With all the news out there about Zack Wheeler's injury the WIP Midday Show has a sound bite from a real orthopedist based out of the Delaware area. He states the severity of the injury is even bigger than what the Phillies have made it. How worried are you about the severity of the Zack Wheeler injury
The Phillies and Zack Wheeler received some really upsetting this weekend when it was announced that Zack Wheeler will be placed on the 15 day IL due to a blood clot in his right arm. The Phillies ace will hopefully only miss the 15 days but could be longer. However, the midday show still think the World Series can win the World Series even with the absence of their best pitcher.
Another episode of Phillies Today, this time with Francisco Rojas. On today's show, he recaps the final game and series against the Washington Nationals. Also, Francisco discusses how the news on Zack Wheeler and the possibility he may not be available for the rest of the season could affect the Phillies. Lastly, a preview of the upcoming series versus the Seattle Mariners.

The Philadelphia Phillies are in the final weeks and days of this 2025 regular season. Will the team be able to cruise to the postseason? There's good stuff happening with this team. There are challenges as well. This week, Justin Klugh from the Hittin' Season podcast and Baseball Prospectus joined us for a deep dive into what we've been seeing from his Phillies team on offense and from the pitchers mound.

Episode 199 of The Hitstreak, a podcast where we talk about anything and everything! This week we are joined by the Vice President of East Cobb Baseball, Kevin Baldwin!Episode in a Glance:In this episode of The Hitstreak, I get to sit down with Kevin Baldwin, the head coach of the East Cobb Astro 17U national team, discussing the legacy of East Cobb Baseball, its evolution over 40 years, and the impact of Guerry Baldwin, Kevin's Dad. We explore the importance of competition, the right fit for youth players, and the lessons learned from alumni. The episode also touches on the family dynamics within sports and the future of East Cobb Academy, emphasizing the significance of fostering a love for the game while ensuring players are in the right environment to succeed. We go into the importance of calculated risk-taking in youth sports, the commitment required from players and parents, and the unique challenges of coaching in a competitive environment. Kevin also emphasizes the need for purpose in expanding youth sports programs and the significance of teaching kids to love the game.Key Points:- East Cobb Baseball has been leading the charge for 40 years.- It's important to instill a mindset of competition and hard work in youth sports.- Baseball is a game, and games are supposed to be fun.- You can't push your kids into something they're not comfortable with.- Purpose-driven expansion is crucial for youth sports organizations.- Coaching requires understanding each player's unique needs.- Parents should do their homework on coaches and teams.- Kids need to be in environments where they want to play.- Commitment and availability are key for competitive players.- Understanding the nuances of baseball is vital for success.- NIL is changing the landscape of youth sports.About our guest: Kevin Baldwin grew up immersed in baseball—you could say he was raised in the dugout. A former high school All-American and graduate of Western Carolina and Kennesaw State, Kevin dedicated his life to helping young athletes grow and succeed in the game. He coached the ECB 17u Braves for 9 years, leading teams to multiple national titles, including the Perfect Game BCS and WWBA Championships. Along the way, he coached future MLB stars like Buster Posey, Javier Báez, and Jason Heyward. When his kids were born, Kevin began co-coaching the 16u Astros with his father, Guerry, to bring the family along for the ride. Eventually, he returned to lead the ECB 17u Astros, where he continues to build a winning culture—earning national titles and mentoring future pros like Zack Wheeler, Will Smith, and Taylor Trammell. Kevin's coaching philosophy is rooted in creating a high-level learning environment, elite competition, and a deep love for the game.Follow and contact:Instagram: @eastcobbbaseball_officialeastcobbbaseball.comSubscribe to Nick's top-rated podcast The Hitstreak on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Spotify: https://spotify.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/NickHiterFollow and Rate us on iHeartRadio: https://www.iheart.com/NickHiter

The 94 WIP Morning Show was excited about the Phillies sweeping the Texas Rangers in Texas this past weekend, however, Zack Wheeler said on Sunday he feels better, but that the cause of the discomfort is still unclear. As playoffs approach, James Seltzer, in for Joe DeCamara is worried about the state of the Phillies starting pitching. Also hear the best calls from the Time's Yours line!
James Seltzer, in for Joe DeCamara on the 94 WIP Morning Show, is worried about the state of the Phillies starting pitching as we get closer to October. Zack Wheeler still isn't feeling 100% and isn't sure why, and Ranger Suarez and Jesus Luzardo haven't been up to par. Does the pitching concern you getting closer to playoff time?
The 94 WIP Morning Show , with James Seltzer in for Joe DeCamara, is hyped about the Phillies sweep of the Texas Rangers in Arlington, but Zack Wheeler's performance was concerning. His velocity is down and after the game Wheeler said he feels better, but is unsure why he's not 100%.
The 94 WIP Morning Show believes the Phillies are really starting to heat up, especially after sweeping the Texas Rangers this weekend. Zack Wheeler's injury still looks like a concern. He says he feels better, but isn't performing as normal. Landon Dickerson was carted off the field during the Eagles' open practice on Sunday. Both big concerns.
The 94 WIP Morning Show is worried about both Landon Dickerson, who was carted off the practice field last night at the Eagle's open practice, and Zack Wheeler who has been dealing with some shoulder issues for apparently 'a while' as he put it last night. Eliot Shorr-Parks joins the Show after being at the Eagles practice last night and gives his first hand account of the Dickerson injury.
