J.T. Realmuto joins The Phillies Show! He talks the present and future in Philly and much more!

J.T. Realmuto is set to make his seventh consecutive Opening Day start at catcher for the Phillies.
It would tie Darren Daulton for the second-longest streak by any catcher in Phillies history. Mike Lieberthal started a record 10 in a row. Will there be an eighth for Realmuto? He will be a free agent following the 2025 season. Realmuto joined the show this week to talk his present and future in Philadelphia; the team’s chances to win a World Series; how much he thinks he can play in 2025; what makes Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola and Ranger Suárez tick and more!

Another great guest, and I appreciate the tough questions you asked JT. Couldn’t believe you asked him about his playing time! Lol. JT is such a classy guy. Glad he’s a Phillie.

[@xgibson4700]

Love the insight on catchers and their approach to hitters and catching certain pitchers. Wish there was more of this in baseball media.

[@ThePhilliesShow]

Thanks! We love talking about this stuff on the show. Jim and Todd also love writing these types of stories.

[@beardown6574]

Always love JT interviews! Always a really good conversation. Very insightful. Hopefully they can work out a new contract. Just a great team leader.

[@ThePhilliesShow]

You can tell how much work he puts into his craft.

[@beardown6574]

@ThePhilliesShow oh absolutely! Just amazing the work he does with the pitching staff.

Clearwater Travel Guide? I love it! My wife and I are heading down there a month from today for 5 days!

Ruben always steps on Jimmy. You guys need a plan about when someone asks a question.

[@shawndauberman9648]

My favorite card is, I'm not sure of the year, 76, 77, schmidt swinging in the pinstripes with the black eye liner

[@caspernovelli3568]

This team, so much potential, but the lack of improvements over the losses this off season is disheartening

[@mikestewart2038]

Gotta love and appreciate JT

[@rickbady2281]

Is it work getting to Baycare Park early before a game...where can you go to see what's happening?

[@ThePhilliesShow]

If you come before games start, it's very easy. If you want to see players at Carpenter Complex before a game, it still shouldn't be a huge issue if you get there early. They're typically not on the field at Carpenter until 10-11 AM-ish.

[@jesspatrick2]

I'd love to see three 20 game winners on the Phillies this year. If we had them, they would be Wheeler, Nola, and maybe Suarez. Meanwhile, I'm not at all concerned about the Phillies catching position.

[@Betty-Boop809]

And Sanchez

[@beetlebayley1973]

Painter gives me Mark Prior vibes hopefully the injury part is out of the way forever now but that's who I comp him to

[@rickbady2281]

High leg kick this year or not?

[@shawndauberman9648]

Jt, bohm needs some growing up to do. How do you deal with that? Why didn't anyone ask that?

[@DM-iw2qt]

Honestly because of the lack of improvements in off-season the Phillies will be if lucky be competing for the 3rd wild card spot. The team is older. The weak hitting has not improved the bullpen is weaker. Lousy. GM

[@nicholaspickell7448]

@DM-iw2qt The bullpen isn't that bad. Hoffman is a huge loss. But if Romano can return to form then he can come close to replacing Hoffman. Also pen additions are the easiest things to fill during the season. Offense? Who knows.
