Phillies Nation Podcast: Zack Wheeler not named an All-Star and just how good are the Phillies?

Zack Wheeler was not named an All-Star on Sunday. (Cheryl Pursell)

The (pre-replacement) 2022 All-Star rosters were unveiled on Sunday, and while Kyle Schwarber joined Bryce Harper as Phillies representatives, one name notably missing from the list was Zack Wheeler. Ty Daubert and Nathan Ackerman discuss Wheeler’s omission from the list and the All-Star selection process at the top of the latest Phillies Nation Podcast.

Then, the guys get into the Phillies’ current series with the St. Louis Cardinals and the team’s outlook as it winds down the first half — including a two-game set in Toronto with an interesting roster conundrum on the horizon (14:00). They also take a step back and try to evaluate just how good this Phillies team is, given how it has turned things around the last couple months (25:03).
