Justin Morganstein discusses the red hot Phils who have won seven in a row and the lineup finally showing some real consistency. Plus, could Zack Wheeler and Jesus Luzardo both be in the NL Cy Young conversation?
North Shore Nine Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Brother's. The Pirates dropped another lifeless one in Philly as Zack Wheeler diced up the lineup for 7 shutout innings. Bryan Reynolds broke up the shutout with a 9th-inning homer, but it was far too little, far too late. Oneil Cruz and Andrew McCutchen combined to go 0-for-7 with 6 strikeouts, and Carmen Mlodzinski once again failed to pitch deep into a game. The offense has now scored fewer than five runs in 22 straight games, and fans are running out of ways to describe just how bad it's gotten. Tyler and Ryan break it all down—Cruz's concerning at-bats, Horwitz's return (and quick hook), the endless carousel at first base, and why it's time to shut down the Mlodzinski starting experiment for good. Is there any real help on the way, or are we just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic?

This is the final year of Kyle Schwarber's 4-year contract that he signed with the Philadelphia Phillies before the 2022 season. Schwarber should NOT even hit the open market, and the Phillies should be working on a contract extension ASAP. Alec Bohm breaks his homerun drought with his first of the season last night. Nick Castellanos finishes a triple shy of a cycle. Zack Wheeler dominates, once again. And the Phillies win 8-4 over the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Philadelphia Phillies aren't a bad team as we head into May. They're not a really good team either at this point and after a month of baseball this season. While there are challenges across the board, they're still a relevant team in the NL East. This week, Ethan Witte from TheGoodPhight.com joined us for a great discussion about where this team is at, and where they'll be heading as they continue on with the 2025 season.But first, the guys dove into some Philly sports history from this week. (Approx. 5:55)From there, the guys reflected on the NFL and Eagles Draft, and how the defensive players picked early in the draft is a sheer testament to Howie Roseman trusting Vic Fangio's defense and what is needed for continued success in the NFC. (Approx. 9:50)Then the guys discussed how this is going to be such a critical offseason for the Sixers due to health issues that persist for Joel Embiid, and even more issues that are facing the team. (Approx. 18:50)The guys then gave their thoughts on the Union unexpectedly parting ways with Daniel Gazdag, and what it means for the team. (Approx. 27:05)Then they dove into some Phillies talk and how this team just lack the fun feels early this season. May this be why they're facing some challenges? (Approx. 34:20)What they threw down on the Table this week was a fantastic and in-depth discussion with Ethan Witte from The Good Phight at SB Nation about how this team is facing a number of challenges. From Aaron Nola to Zack Wheeler to the runners in scoring position storyline, the guys discussed the good and bad when it comes to this Phillies 2025 season. All of this and much more this week on the Table!

The Nats lost a heartbreaker in Philadelphia as what briefly looked like a thrilling comeback victory turned into a 7-6 walk-off loss. Mark (From Citizens Bank Park) & Al start with the seesaw 9th inning that was initially a 5-2 Phillies lead at the start of the frame.(12:45) Discussion on how this ballpark has an aptitude of quirky games due to its odd dimensions.(16:30) MacKenzie Gore gave up a pair of homers and struck out six in his outing. Gore returns to the MLB lead for strikeouts this season just ahead of Zack Wheeler, his foil on Tuesday night.(19:30) The offense scored two off of Wheeler and came through with six extra base hits on the evening. The highlight came in the four run top of the 9th when Nathaniel Lowe hit a go-ahead 3 run homer for a brief 6-5 edge.(22:45) Mark points out that Washington had the bases loaded in four separate at bats and struck out every time.(28:40) A special report on Cade Cavalli's short rehab outing in AAA, from Josh Whetzel, the voice of the Rochester Red Wings.
Bryson Stott scored the game winning run on a wild pitch as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 7-6 in the first game of a three game series at Citizens Bank Park. Zack Wheeler was excellent, once again, but took a no decision after Orion Kerkering gave up a 3-run homerun to Nathanial Lowe in the top of the 9th. Johan Rojas and Trea Turner contribute offensively, but struggle defensively. The Phillies are now 16-13 and on a 3 game winning streak.
Washington Nationals vs. Philadelphia Phillies MLB Pick Prediction by Tony T. Nationals at Phillies 6:45PM ET—MacKenzie Gore will start for Washington. Gore in six starts on the year deals with an ERA of 3.34 with WHIP of 1.14. The left hander has an elite 37.3% K rate with 6.3% walks. Ground balls dealt at 32.5% with 0.77 home runs per nine innings. Zack Wheeler is the starter for Philadelphia.
The Nats lost 2-1 to the Orioles on Thursday to stymie their attempt at a series sweep.

James Wood & Dylan Crews each were 0 for 3 in the defeat.(04:00) CJ Abrams returned from the IL and went 0 for 4 after resuming his leadoff role. Will he stay there or will James Wood get another chance at the top of the order?(11:15) It was hard luck loss for MacKenzie Gore as he only allowed a pair of runs in six innings of work. Gore struck out eight Orioles and moved ahead of Zack Wheeler for the MLB lead in that category.(15:30) Washington had a solid performance by their bullpen. Cole Henry handled the final two innings and continued his stretch of not having yet given up a run. Henry was formerly a promising starter in the organization before needing thoracic outlet surgery (TOS) a few years back.(23:10) Juan Soto and the Mets come to DC for a four game series beginning Friday night. New York has won seven consecutive games and have the best record in baseball.(26:00) An update on Paul DeJong, who will have surgery on his broken nose. DeJong was hit in the face last week in Pittsburgh and has been on the IL since.

It's officially NFL Draft Day 1! The Philadelphia Eagles have the 32nd pick in the NFL Draft after winning Super Bowl 59. Last year, the Eagles selected CB Quinyon Mitchell out of Toledo with the 22nd overall pick. Who will the Eagles take with the final pick on Day 1? Will they trade up or trade out? The Philadelphia Phillies get swept out of New York by the Mets after losing yesterday 4-3 in extra innings. Zack Wheeler pitched 6 strong innings, giving up just 2 runs and striking out 9, but the offense failed to convert a bases loaded, 1 out situation in the Top of the 10th before Pete Alonso and Starling Marte won the game for the Mets in the bottom of the inning. The Phillies have lost 4 straight, and are now 13-12 on the season. They're off today before a 3 game weekend series in Chicago with the Cubs.
Ahead of the series finale against the Phillies, the Mets manager speaks with Keith Raad about the production of Luis Torrens, the team's winning streak, and the gameplan against Zack Wheeler this afternoon.

On the April 18, 2025 episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview MLB podcast, Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner provided in-depth analysis of the Friday baseball slate with betting insights. Munaf opened by highlighting his 5-1 betting record and credited their collaborative discussions for the success. The first matchup covered was Diamondbacks vs. Cubs (0:10–7:40). Corbin Burnes has struggled early, while Cubs starter Colin Rea provides potential value. Chicago leads MLB in runners in scoring position appearances and has scored 124 runs to Arizona's 104. The Cubs as home underdogs and a lean to the over were discussed, depending on Wrigley Field wind. In Royals vs. Tigers (7:41–11:34), Cole Ragans faces top prospect Jackson Jobe. Kansas City's offense has produced just 19 runs over its last 10 games and is 2-8 on the road. The Tigers' bullpen is strong, and both hosts leaned toward Detroit plus money and under 7.5. Guardians vs. Pirates (11:35–15:11) features Luis Ortiz against Carmen Mlodzinski. Mlodzinski has a 1.77 WHIP with command issues. The Guardians were favored due to bullpen depth. Pittsburgh is 6-4 at home and to the over. There was a slight lean to Cleveland and possibly over 8.5. In Marlins vs. Phillies (15:12–19:08), Sandy Alcantara is no longer dominant, while Zack Wheeler boasts an 11-4 record and 2.73 ERA against Miami. Philadelphia is 24-11 in Wheeler's home starts since 2023. The Phillies were a strong lean, especially on the run line. Yankees vs. Rays (19:49–25:11) featured Carlos Rodón, who has allowed 4+ earned runs and 3+ walks in three straight starts. Drew Rasmussen has not allowed a run in 21 career innings vs. the Yankees. Munaf's best bet was Rays first five innings at -110. In Reds vs. Orioles (25:12–28:31), Andrew Abbott faces Cade Povich. While Abbott had a solid outing against Pittsburgh, Baltimore's offense poses more danger. The Orioles were favored and offensive production expected. Mariners vs. Blue Jays (28:31–31:40) has Bryan Woo, who has struggled away from home, against Bowden Francis. Toronto is 7-3 at home and the over 7.5 was considered. Cardinals vs. Mets (31:42–35:05) pits Miles Mikolas against David Peterson. St. Louis is 1-6 on the road and lacks comeback potential. The Mets were the lean, especially on the run line. Griffin's best bet was Braves -130 vs. Twins (35:06–38:12). Chris Paddack has lost all three starts by 2+ runs and Bryce Elder is trying to earn a rotation spot. In Red Sox vs. White Sox (38:13–41:46), Martín Pérez is a steady innings-eater. Boston has a negative run differential and both hosts were reluctant to back them as heavy favorites. Dodgers vs. Rangers (41:46–45:55) features Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has a 0.91 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 22 innings, against Jacob deGrom, who's allowed multiple home runs in consecutive starts. The Dodgers were favored early. In Astros vs. Padres (52:32–56:54), Kyle Hart rebounded after a poor debut, while Houston's Ryan Gusto is unproven. The Padres are 15-4, and with Houston's bullpen issues, San Diego at +123 was the consensus lean. Brewers vs. A's (56:55–1:01:02) has Freddy Peralta allowing six earned runs over 23.1 innings. Milwaukee is 43-27 at home in his starts since 2018. Nationals vs. Rockies (1:01:11–1:04:14) features cold Denver weather and a low total of nine. MacKenzie Gore's road struggles were noted, but Washington was the slight lean. Giants vs. Angels (1:04:14–1:07:43) featured Logan Webb's consistency against Tyler Anderson. San Francisco is 9-4 on the road with eight wins by 2+ runs. Munaf leaned Giants run line. The episode ended with a promo for Pregame's $1,000 MLB contest and 20 percent discount code HOMERUN20.

The Word of the Day is Sympathy (0:00-12:53) As the Easter holiday approaches, we are reminded of our younger days when dressing up was a tradition. This season also brings forth the prevalence of pastel colors in our wardrobes, a hallmark of the celebration. (12:53-20:19) Couch General managers occasionally express their views online regarding ongoing games. While one listener noted that this can be overwhelming, Ricky argues that there are instances when it is necessary to assert that a player should be reassigned, as it reflects the reality of the situation. (20:19-31:19) Supporters must express their discontent by abstaining from attending or viewing games, a course of action taken by 76ers fans due to a disappointing season. Additionally, we examine John Tortorella's authoritarian approach during his tenure as Head Coach. How players are now a bit more outspoken about the former Head Coach. (31:39-39:56) We analyze the upcoming game between the Marlins and the Phillies, which is set to occur tonight. The focus will be on the pitching duel between Sandy Alcantara and Zack Wheeler.

The Nats bullpen let them down on their way to a season opening 7-3 loss in extra innings vs. the visiting Phillies. Mark & Al start with a major positive for Washington as MacKenzie Gore set a franchise Opening Day record with 13 strikeouts. Gore was fantastic as he did not issue any walks and only gave up one hit.(10:30) Keibert Ruiz homered off of Zack Wheeler and threw out a runner trying to steal 2nd base. Davey Martinez mentioned pregame that Ruiz lost weight in the offseason and he was pleased with his Spring.(17:00) Jacob Young was caught stealing despite James Wood at the plate with a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 6th inning.(21:15) Opening Day was not a good one for the Nationals bullpen as five relievers combined to allow seven runs in just four innings of work. Colin Poche really struggled in his first outing with the Nats as he gave up four Philadelphia runs in the top of the 10th to put the game out of reach.(27:45) Derek Law will begin the season the 15-Day IL due to right forearm inflammation. Mark explains what led to him not being ready to pitch for Washington on Opening Day.(32:00) The Nationals were dealt bad news this week as DJ Herz was added to the 60-Day IL and is getting a 2nd opinion on his sprained elbow ligament that could lead to Tommy John surgery.
