#33 | The Dodgers Exposed the Phillies' Biggest Flaws
<p>The Phillies get a reality check against the Dodgers, dropping two of three in a series that felt a lot like playoff baseball. </p><p>Josh Liddick and Austin Myers break down what went wrong for the Phillies, from defensive and baserunning mistakes to an offense that continues to rely heavily on the long ball. The guys discuss the team's struggles to consistently get on base and score runs, whether the Phillies can truly compete with the Dodgers when October rolls around, and what this series might tell us about the team's postseason chances.</p><p>They also dive into some of the biggest individual storylines from the series, including Trea Turner's recent power surge, Bryce Harper's 200th home run in a Phillies uniform, and Derek Hill making his case for a bigger role with his bat and glove. Plus, Josh makes the case for moving Aaron Nola to the bullpen, while Austin looks ahead to how the Phillies could use him down the stretch.</p><p>With the trade deadline quickly approaching, the guys discuss Bryce Harper's comments about the Phillies needing to go "all in," how aggressive Dave Dombrowski should be, and whether the team should be willing to part with top prospects to make a major upgrade. They also look at the need for another starting pitcher, the search for a right-handed bat, and what the Phillies could be looking for as they prepare for the second half of the season. Finally, Josh and Austin look ahead to the upcoming series against the Yankees and what could be another important test for the Phillies.</p><p>Follow and leave a five-star review for Catchin’ Phils: A Phillies Podcast on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2NoUbI6MGPd56jbtej2F9n?si=e7cf1113d4e848f9"><u>Spotify</u></a>, <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/catchin-phils-a-phillies-podcast/id1879593175"><u>Apple</u></a>, <a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/2d35d365-0cb3-461d-8272-f19214a0145c/catchin'-phils-a-phillies-podcast"><u>Amazon</u></a>, and <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-catchin-phils-a-phillies-p-324485666/about"><u>iHeartRadio</u></a>, and subscribe to Josh Liddick (<a href="https://redpinstripepress.substack.com/"><u>Red Pinstripe Press</u></a>) and Austin Myers (<a href="https://philliesperspective.substack.com/"><u>Phillies Perspective</u></a>) on Substack to get their latest work straight to your inbox.
