Speaker 1 (00:06):
JT swings hitch one high in the here deep left
center field. Robbo's back to the track at the wall
and it is off the top of the wall. It
comes down and play. I think they're saying a home run.
JT on his horse at the third now they're signaling
home run. Yeah, it was a home run. And I'll
tell you what, Kyle Fisher, a man who's been down
in Citizens Bank Park a hell of a lot more
(00:28):
than any of us. As how many years did you
work as a vendor? What's going on? You are mute?
You have mute? There your mute? You muted yourself? Hey,
can't I mute the guest? It's up to the guest
to a mute themselves, can't there? You go? There you go?
How many years?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Fifteen years of the vendor and now my second down
there in the press.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
How many beers have you poured over the years, Kyle Fisher?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh, boy, give us a number. At Philly games. In
my heyday, I was probably selling anywhere from five cases
a game, working sixty to seventy, and then Eagles it's
like ten cases a game. Come on, I mean you're
talking about two hundred. If you're talking just Eagles, it's
(01:17):
two hundred and forty times eight whatever. That comes out
to one hundred and eight or one tho eight hundred
some beers at Eagles games a year. Phillys games, it's
you know, let's call it fifty times five cases. Five
times twenty four is a number that I don't want
to One hundred and twenty times sixty is another number
(01:37):
that I don't want to use.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Rain Man, right now, doing give me a ballpark number?
Damn it?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I mean a season, I'd say it's probably like eight
hundred to one thousand a game. Well, what it's twenty
four beers a case, twenty four beers in a case,
five cases of game, so it's like five hundred beers.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Wow, all right, well there's five hundred beers a game.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
All right, I'm sorry, all right, but that was you know,
that was a terrible attempt at mass.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
That's all right. I will I won't throw anything at
you ever again where you have to pull out a calculator. Okay, yeah, man,
let me give it to That's all right. Kyle Fisher
enjoined it us here having some fun today.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Anyways, we move on.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
No, I brought it up because of the wind Kyle,
have you ever seen anything like that? Yesterday? That was
the most ridiculous wind in my neck of the woods,
and I know you lived near me. It was crazy.
I was like, I've never felt wind like this before,
and I obviously like storms, but there was no storm.
It wasn't rain. It was just whipping wind and it
(02:48):
was doing that. We saw a video from a guy
that works at another radio station. He was out there
and his flagpoles were moving, so I didn't think we
were gonna see any home run. So I bring that
up because JT's home run was pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, yeah, the wind was was pretty nuts. I mean
it was the first thing that people asked about the
when Topper had his pretty game availability It was I've
seen crazy wind down there, but it's few and far between,
so to see that wind last night, and then it
all seemed to be blowing out to right field, which
makes the I mean, the home runs are pretty impressive.
(03:20):
Harper's looked like it wasn't going to get out either,
and it ended up getting over by a few rows.
I usually try and judge by the fielder when it's
when I'm unsure, especially by the wind, and that guy
was tracking and tracking T Max said pretty quickly that
it hit the The emphasis in his voice made it
seemed like he knew it was gone, but the fielder
wasn't convinced until it was until it finally went over
(03:41):
his head. So yeah, that wind was pretty nuts. Like
you said, that JT home run even more impressive as
a result.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You're right about that, all right, Keeping it moving once
U doing an update. Some live action matts tied the
game up three three man, that's a feisty bunch of
Metropolitan players. They got thereas they are now tied up
in the ninth, I means they got three. Did they
get three in the top of the eighth or any
ninth itself? Wow, I don't have it in front of me,
(04:09):
but it's late. It's either any eighth or ninth, so
the same difference there. They ended up tying the game up.
So we'll keep you posted as far as that is concerned.
NBA Hoops conversation coming your way at five o'clock, talk
about both playing games going down tonight, some slight line movement.
At this point in time, the Bulls are two point
favorites two twenty over the Miami Heat that bumped up
(04:30):
from about a point. Some money coming in on the Bulls.
No surprise, Bulls are three and oh versus the Miami
Heat this year. And to put a bow on that conversation,
three and oh since February, So all three games between
these two teams started to took place after February sixth,
Bulls three and oh in those games their two point
favorites at home, and tonight the Dallas Mavericks without Luca unbelievable.
(04:53):
Still can't believe he's not a member of that team.
Sacramento Kings are four and a half point favorites, two
thirteens your total in that one. That's a real tough
ballgame for me to pick. But I have to go
with the Dallas Mavericks have been showing some fight. Anthony
Davis has been playing well. I like them to cover
that number and potentially pull off the upset. We'll break
that one down a little bit more later in the
(05:15):
in the day here on the Gambler, Kyle, though, did
you pay attention to any of the games last night?
Because the Warriors start and finish, You know, I get it.
The Memphis Grizzlies aren't the Lakers. They aren't the Oklahoma
City Thunder. But it's not about them. It's about Steph Curry,
who's won multiple championships. It's about Jimmy Butler, who turns
(05:36):
it on this time a year. It's about Steve Curry,
who's a hell of a coach as well. They have
some pretty good pieces surrounding those two guys. But if
you get that type of production from Jimmy Butler and
Steph Curry. Albeit they scored seventy eight last night combined
between the two, but like, is it that much of
a stretch to believe that Jimmy and Steph are still
(05:56):
going to get THURSDA night and night out because it's
the playoffs, so the war Years. Do you consider them
a championship contender right now?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Kyle, Yeah, I mean they have to be considered a
legitimate threat. You have two guys with a lot of
playoff experience, one with multiple championships under his belt. I
mean it's a team that Yeah, they're a little bit
older and they might not look like the Warriors of old,
but they're a team that is is clearly legitimate and
with Jimmy looking as healthy as he has recently, I
think that that's a big difference. Is he gonna drop
(06:26):
thirty seven thirty eight every night? Probably not, But those
two guys mix very well. You know, you're talking about
an inside game versus an outside game. You can have
both going at the same time without taking away from
the other one. Right, Clearly it worked having the Splash
Brothers there for so long with those two guys different
versions of a three point shot, but they both relied
heavily on the three. Obviously not the same build as
(06:51):
they want were, but you have two guys who are
going to get in and know how to pass the
ball and know how to get a shot up in
Draymond and Jimmy. Jimmy can get you twenty five a night.
Steph obviously averaged almost twenty four and a half this season.
And if he gets on one like he did late
and late in the game last night, I mean, it's
how can you not put them up there with anybody.
(07:12):
I don't know how they've played against Houston this year,
but I put them up against anybody right now based
on how they played last night alone.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I agree after the game. Steve Kerr on Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
In these big moments, these big games, he just settles
you down constantly. He just told me, I don't care
who guards me, you know, just give me, give me space,
give me the ball. I'll make something happen. And that's
the beauty of Jimmy. We have morphed into a different team.
We've got the movement and the flow of Steph, but
we're we've also become, for half a game, a great
ISO team. We've never been an ISO team here. There's
(07:44):
great advantage to that. Jimmy has completely changed everything for
since he's been here, and tonight was a great example.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's unbelievable, man, the numbers since he's been a part
of the team. They put this out there yesterday during
the broadcast when Jimmy Butler joined the Golden State Warriors.
Record wise, Golden State was seventeenth in the NBA, but
now third since the trade. Defensive rating they were tenth,
now best since the trade turnovers forced they were fifteenth
(08:14):
at the point in time of the trade. They're now
the best team the free throw percentage they were last.
Listen to this. They were last in free throw percentage
at the time in the NBA and then the trade.
Since the trade their second best. This is insane. What
Jimmy Butler has been able to do to that franchise,
(08:35):
and you would never think he just like as good
as Jimmy Butler was, like he was going down a
different path and it just felt like, all right, maybe
Jimmy's time is over right, he's getting a little older.
He wasn't that good in Miami. But no, it was
clearly not that because you got him into this position
playing around these type of players with championship caliber potential,
(08:59):
and he has been an extreme difference maker and you
saw it last night, So I'm with you, man, they
have to be discussed in that conversation when you bring
up championship contenders, especially in that high potent West.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
For shure Man, he's he is a difference maker. He's
a guy. You know, he might not get talked about
in the same way that Harden and mb do when
it comes to getting your shot and getting to the line,
but he's he's been that guy his whole career. He's
a gritty player. He's a guy who's who's gonna fight
for every shot, fight for every in. She's gonna play
hard on defense. It's it's a guy who is a
(09:32):
difference maker on a on a champion, a team that
was potent. You know, you always think of the Warriors
as a potential for a playoff run, even if they're
not the same team they once were, and he can
clearly he's been a difference maker for them, though it's
wild to see what he's done for them.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
All Right, we got a lot to discuss, a lot
of time to discuss the NBA, because if you don't know,
you should know by now that the NBA playoffs take
three months.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Literally, it feels like, yeah, it takes for it.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Does the NBA CHAMPI win is the NBA champion? NBA
Championship date June fifth, all right, so April May into June,
so we could say three months to complete, but not
exactly ninety days. I think people would understand that. Anyways,
I did want to get your thoughts on this one
(10:18):
because we are nine days away from the NFL Draft.
Do you have your eyes set on anybody from the
perspective or a position for the Eagles? How are you
going about from an Eagles fan's thoughts as we head
into the draft in Green Bay at the end of
the month, again, nine days away, expectations. I'll tell you
(10:41):
what Kyle, this team won the Super Bowl, and it
is just not interest because I'm always intrigued by what
the Eagles are doing, but man, they're on the back burner.
Like when it comes to people forcing topics down my throat,
I don't want to hear it. You got this dude,
Chase Daniel who's making a name from stuff just being
a troll and talking about Like, I don't care if
(11:03):
you say something negative about jail Arts right now. It
tells me all I need to know about you. So
like when it comes to the NFL Draft for the Eagles,
I'm like, all right, I was gonna wheeling deal, he's
gonna make a play. I'm sure they have a couple
players in mind at that position that they're drafting, but oh,
in all my expectations are whole home. Like I got
zero interest from the Eagles perspective at this point in
(11:24):
time going into the NFL Draft. I hate to say it,
but it's a good thing. It's a good thing. They
just won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, it's it's the opposite of like when when they're
really struggling, you're like, I don't even know where to start.
Just pick whoever is the best player available in it.
It's like what they've done with draft picks in late rounds,
with the draft picks that they have to trade to
move up, they're gonna make moves. Why it'd be players
or picks on the day of. So I haven't paid
too much attention, but you asked me what would I
(11:52):
what would I target if I'm if from them? I mean,
I would probably start with defensive line, just to add
depth there. It's always good to have extra edge rushers.
I like having an extra defensive tackle. I would start there.
Maybe maybe in a later round you go, oh, line,
but you know you're talking. You need there, probably you
need a safety. But I think they're gonna let these
(12:14):
cornerbacks continue to develop. They're gonna let the two guys
they drafted last year run the show. I don't think you, like,
there's no obvious standout need right Like, sure, you could
draft a tight end to start training under Goddard, just
like Goddard did Ertz and Ertz did who was it before? Well,
I don't know why I'm drawing and blank, but anyway,
(12:35):
they've they've done this the last few few years with
tight ends. It's like every five or six years they
draft another guy to start working behind the guy before him,
So that's spread sell, that's what.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I don't know why. Yeah, pretty big piece in the
real estate game. I was reading an article about him.
He's doing well about.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That, but yeah, i'd probably go defensive tack like Walter
Nolan's been mentioned in a few mock drafts out of
Old Miss. I've liked what I've seen on video from him,
but I'm not a video breakdown. I don't know everything
that I'm looking at when I'm watching video. Right, he
looks really strong, but we'll see how that translates to
the to the NFL. And I don't expect them to
(13:12):
necessarily sit at thirty two in that first round, So
we'll see what happens. But it's not worth diving into
because they have so much flexibility from my perspective, and
you know, I'm a baseball guy first. Obviously, I'm going
to pay attention to the draft as we get as
we come up on it. But there's moves to be
made and how he's proven that he's going to make them,
So we'll see what they what they're even looking at
(13:34):
when it comes to first round, and maybe that those
first two days, But personally me, I'd go either edge
rusher or defensive tackle for you.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Know, look, there are a lot of really good players
in this draft, depending on what position. Of course, some
are stronger than others. I think this does have a good,
solid top five with names that we know very well
at this point in time. Guys like Travis Hunter of course,
a dual Carter no need to go into any deeper
than that should or Sanders insfection a lot of attention
and that's understood. We know cam Word's going number one overall.
(14:03):
So there is a lot of good topics that we
can focus on with comes NFL draft. But down the way,
I start to wonder about what these other teams in
the division are gonna do, specifically the Commanders, who have
a lot of good things going right now, and the Cowboys,
like you know, can the Cowboys who most of the
time love to take shots, love to go and swing
(14:24):
for the fences and like a Ceedee Lamb, not swing
for defenses, you know, because he was drafted a little
bit later in that realm. But they're not scared to
take a big name. They don't really care what is
being said. And specifically, I'm bringing that up because of
a guy like Ashton Genty, who was an unbelievable running
back last year. I had a great college career. We
know that. We know that the emphasis as far as
(14:47):
running backs having a good running back now is starting
to come back to what it used to be. All
that being said, good luck with a good running back
and not having a a at least an average offensive line.
I don't know where we rank the Cowboys, but Gent
is a guy that can go out there and handle
his own I mean he is a just a stud,
(15:09):
a work horse, a true bell coal back. He will
be there for the Cowboys. I've been looking at mock drafts.
Some have him in the top ten, some have him sliding.
I don't think he's going to slide, but I do
think the Cowboys will have a shot at selecting Gent
at twelve. If that's the case. Does that send up
any alarm bells for you? Do any whistles go off?
(15:30):
Like Genty and the Cowboys, Man, that's that's gonna be
a pretty good combination in my mind.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I mean, Dak isn't necessarily a guy who is known
as a runner, and they haven't gotten much production out
of the running back position last especially last year after
you know, we saw they tried to bring back what's
his name and it didn't work out. He's over the
hill now, seat, Yeah, it's they thought that would work.
(16:00):
It didn't. Like you said, running back matters to an extent, right,
We got to see how this guy adjusts to the NFL,
and he need an offensive line to truly let him
do that. Where their offensive line, even if it's middle
of the pack, if this guy continues to fight through
contact like he did in the college ranks, then yeah,
he's a real threat and that evolves their offense. They
(16:22):
already have strong weapons in the receiving corps. A healthy
deck is still a good dack. You know, I don't
think that there's a lot of Eagles fans who hate
on him. I think that he's a really strong quarterback.
I don't know if i'd ever put him in a
top five conversation anything like that, but he's really good.
If they can draw things up for him to make
him look even better, and if you add the true
(16:42):
threat of a running game as opposed to the perceived
one with Zeke being over the hill, you know, he's
a guy who who can make every throw and if
Jent he can do a little bit to give them
different looks, it's clearly a threat. But to me, I
always build him that. I'm always big on building the trench.
And they don't have an offensive lineer. If they're an
injury away from from concerns there, then it doesn't matter
(17:05):
who you pick at running back if they're running into
a brick wall every single time.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
They did sign Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams, so that
might take them out of the running for a guy
like Genty, But I just it's Jerry. You know how
he operates. Man, he sees names yep and Genty. Is
that so we'll see. Is there a guy that you
have your eyes on as far as the draft is concerned,
that you think is a huge difference maker for anybody
that gets them.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I'm really I mean, I'm Dual Carter's in scene. I
know that we're talking about, you know, top three, He's
he's a guy who's going to be a difference maker immediately.
So every place has him. Going to the Giants, I'm
not looking forward to facing him twice a year.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That means the Browns pass on him. If you're Cleveland.
Do you do that?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
No.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
A lot of places have them taking Sanders. But I'm
not big on taking the quarterback when you have a
ton of I know that I'm in the minority on that.
People want to take a quarterback to give their fans promise.
But if you have nobody to protect the quarterback, it
doesn't matter how good the quarterback is. So to me,
I wouldn't take them. Maybe they take Travis Hunter just
(18:14):
to kind of potentially fill two holes with one. They
like to be creative and take big names, and then
Carter there would fall to the Giants. Maybe they do
take Carter and then and then he and then Hunter's
there for the Giants instead. But most of the places
I'm seeing are either Hunter or Sanders going to Cleveland,
(18:35):
and then Carter ending up in New York. So, I
mean Hunter is the most intriguing one, right, If he's
really dead set on playing both positions, what's that going
to look like? How's he going to have the stamina
when the game evolves, when the game and the speed changes.
And this not only does speed, like the energy of
the game is different, the strength of the players are different.
Everything about the game is so much different. At the
(18:57):
NFL level than it is the college. So we'll see
how long that lasts. But he's the most intriguing prospect
for sure, because when's the last time you saw a
guy come out and say, no, I am playing both positions,
both sides of the ball in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, it's very very interesting, and I'm pulling for him.
But I do think you know, in this day, in
today's NFL, you're asking for it if you believe that
you can go out there and get a certain amount
of snaps and that involves both ways. I just his
number one concern is he's got to be available, and
(19:31):
that would be the first thing that goes through my
mind is like, man, if he's playing both ways, I
cannot afford to get him dinged up. And look, I
also respect it because if you want to make a
name for yourself and do something that really hasn't ever
been done and build your legacy as such, he is
good enough to do it at the collegiate level. Is
(19:52):
he good enough to do it at the NFL. Let's
see what he's got. I mean, he's a hell of
a prospect, and I am pulling for him. I just
am a little concern when it comes to that, and
i'd still you know, where's the money at That's where
I follow he'll make more money on this side of
the ball, then that's what he's going to play. That's
been my thought process all along. But if you listen
to him, he wants to play both ways. I do
want to bring this up. We just got a brand
(20:13):
new mock draft from Fantasy Pros. Everyone's doing a mock draft.
That's fine, and including we're gonna have one coming up here,
our first mock draft with Mark Henry Jr. And Ryan
beef Coyle and Nick McClay. So I'm looking forward to
hear what those guys have. But right here, they got
Genty This Pat fitz Maurice from Fantasy Pros. He's got
Ashton Genty going six to Vegas, which is awesome. I
(20:36):
like that. I like that. I love that. It's a
big time deal, a lot of attention, and of course,
you know swing for defenses. Why not. They have Cambore
going one, no surprise there, Travis Hunter two, and then
Carter going three to the New York Giants. And that's
not what we want to see because now you're talking
about a pretty good defense. If you add a guy
(20:56):
like Abdul Carter to your defense, it only lifts it up. Man,
he was a freak at Penn State last year and
I do expect him to be able to be explosive
at the next level. So that's only going to help
things out on the defensive side of the ball for
the Giants. Offensively, they're atrocious and they're going to be
in trouble all season long. But a'll do. Carter could
(21:17):
be somebody that's freaking havoc on the defense side of
the ball for the Giants for years to come in
the in the division.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, I would not be a fan of him going there.
I think he may end up going there. I think
Cleveland they like flashy names as well. For how much
it hasn't paid off, Yeah, I think that Hunter going
there might be that might be the biggest chance for
him to truly play both sides of the ball a lot.
But to from my perspective, if I'm a team picking
the top five, I want to guarantee at a position
(21:46):
that's going to be my be my top guy there
in the next few years. And I'm worried that he's
gonna if he's insistent on playing both sides of the ball,
that he's going to end up being a part time
player at both positions because it's imposts to just stay
on the field that long. You need a rest, you
need to break. Is he going to be a third
string wide receiver and a third string cornerback or a
(22:08):
nickel guy or is he going to be a starter
at one and maybe fill in in an emergency in
the other. And I think that's the way you get
to find out is by going to a bad team
and lett him mess around with it, right, And Cleveland's
bad enough where they're probably going to let him run
until he decides what's best for him and what they
what's best for them. So yeah, it'd be interesting. I
definitely want to avoid Carter, so I would as an
(22:31):
Eagles fan selfishly, I would love it if Cleveland took
him so he can't go to the New York Giants.
But a lot to see how it plays out. Yeah,
it is an interesting wildcard every year.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
So the NFL Draft in Green Bay this year and
we'll see what it looks like. I know that there's
a lot of history right there with the Packers of
lambeau Field and espeople do a great job. But man,
I am like my number one deal. I'm looking forward
to seeing where Jente Land's a big fan of him.
Of course, on the top five plays out in Shador Sanders.
(23:01):
There's a lot of hype, a lot of fanfare right now.
I'm starting to read things like you're gonna see Dark
going to top ten, You're gonna see Sanders be trade
up and get you know, people want to sit there.
I caught this video yesterday on Viisen where this dude's
young daughter bust in while he's live, and the comment
he's making is that he's got Sanders falling the twentieth
(23:23):
And I'm just like, I can see a team saying, nope,
we're gonna trade up and get a guy like that,
and they should because Sanders is a good quarterback. He
is a good quarterback as a playout the next level. Dude,
it's all about what's upstairs. I would be willing to
give him an opportunity. Now, am I saying a top
three pick depends how desperate. If I'm the Giants, it's tough.
(23:46):
It's tough. I would do anything and everything to go
get a quarterback that isn't Russell Wilson or Jamis Winston,
that's for damn sure. But when you got the third
overall pick, get a guy like abdu Al Carter, maybe
a trade back up, you pull like a Houston Texans
like they did years ago with CJ. Stradd and Will Anderson.
If you can get a guy like Abduel Carter and
then get back into top ten, top five and get
(24:07):
a guy like Shora Sanders, how do you not how
are you not excited? Like that automatically shifts expectations and
thoughts from your fan base as a whole, versus going
into this season with no hope. Jameis Winston and Russell
Wilson aren't starting quarterbacks like they're decent, you know, but
you know darn well that pick six are coming. And
(24:28):
Russ just isn't good enough. And I'd liked Russ at Pittsburgh,
but he showed all I needed last year, and especially
with that team with all their holes, Russell Wilson isn't
going to be effective. Schador is something that you can
build off of. Get him in there, get him on
the opportunity. We'll see. But the Giants haven't been making
right calls in the past few seasons, so I don't
expect them to get this one right either. Anyways, final
(24:50):
thoughts frea get out of here. Kyle hung with me
for the first full hour and then some thank you
very much? What you got cooking? Man's what's the latest
that we can read over on the metro and all
that good stuff. What do you got cooking right now?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
So right now, nothing too exciting. I just put out
a piece earlier this week on Brandon March's early season struggles,
especially when we thought he was going to be out
two to three games. He ended up playing yesterday, but
talked about him, talked to him prior to Monday's game,
talked to Cody Clemens about him, and I brought up
some quotes from a conversation I had with him last
year about how he deals with struggles, especially against left
handed hitting, with a fun conversation that he had with
(25:24):
Shohey o'tani back when they were teammates. I'll be in
the box tomorrow, so make sure you check me out
at Kyle Fisher four or five at Philadelphia SN for
Philly Sports Network. Our guy Sean Nesters in there tonight
if you want to give him a follow as well.
Weird lineup tonight. I'm interested to see comments about this
tomorrow when I get a chance to talk to Topper
(25:44):
Schwarberg getting the start in left field, Real Muto Dhing,
Marshawn behind the plate, no Stot, no Kepler who had
two hits last night, No Marsh against the lefty Robbie Ray.
So it'll be interesting to see this game go down,
see how Schwarberd is out in left field. Hopefully there's
a little less win for him, easier time for him.
(26:05):
But I'll be going down to the ballpark tonight, so
you won't see tweets from me tonight. I'm going down
with the family for a night off, and then i'll
be back down there tomorrow in the booth, probably alongside
our guy Luke getting some more info. So once I
out more, i'll tweet it out. You guys can see
what we got cooking over there.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Kyle Fisher forty five on Socials, Bang up job as always, Kyle,
can't think enough for hanging with me here. Let's do
it again soon before we get out of here. Colin
Calherd with a tweet. Now Collins got his ear to
the ground when it comes to all things California Sports.
He says, I am told moments ago Niko is going
to UCLA. Family still claims it's not about the money,
(26:40):
it's about Vall's offense. I was not told what Ruins
are paying. Yeah, I just felt like they were gonna
meet that number. No matter what, Nico's gonna end up
at whatever Division one program in California, it's where he's
from UCLA. No surprise there. If that is in fact
where he ends up with something, to keep our eyes
on and we'll see what happens, because he's a hell
(27:01):
of talent. Anyways, Kyle, great stuff coming up next. We're
gonna stay with the NFL conversation, Ryan Beefcoil, Nick McLay
sleepers when it comes to the NFL Draft. Five o'clock.
Back over to the world of the NBA. Sean Bnard
joins me. We talk all things NBA Playoffs. Six o'clock.
Rory finally got over the hump, won a green jacket
(27:24):
seventeen years in the making. Find out what Moose, Mays
and Dan Y'll have to say. And then seven o'clock
more NBA conversation with Sam Austri and Chan Bnard. Everybody,
good luck, on those players. I'll be back live tomorrow
at three pm. Go Phils.
JT swings hitch one high in the here deep left
center field. Robbo's back to the track at the wall
and it is off the top of the wall. It
comes down and play. I think they're saying a home run.
JT on his horse at the third now they're signaling
home run. Yeah, it was a home run. And I'll
tell you what, Kyle Fisher, a man who's been down
in Citizens Bank Park a hell of a lot more
(00:28):
than any of us. As how many years did you
work as a vendor? What's going on? You are mute?
You have mute? There your mute? You muted yourself? Hey,
can't I mute the guest? It's up to the guest
to a mute themselves, can't there? You go? There you go?
How many years?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Fifteen years of the vendor and now my second down
there in the press.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
How many beers have you poured over the years, Kyle Fisher?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Oh, boy, give us a number. At Philly games. In
my heyday, I was probably selling anywhere from five cases
a game, working sixty to seventy, and then Eagles it's
like ten cases a game. Come on, I mean you're
talking about two hundred. If you're talking just Eagles, it's
(01:17):
two hundred and forty times eight whatever. That comes out
to one hundred and eight or one tho eight hundred
some beers at Eagles games a year. Phillys games, it's
you know, let's call it fifty times five cases. Five
times twenty four is a number that I don't want
to One hundred and twenty times sixty is another number
(01:37):
that I don't want to use.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Rain Man, right now, doing give me a ballpark number?
Damn it?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I mean a season, I'd say it's probably like eight
hundred to one thousand a game. Well, what it's twenty
four beers a case, twenty four beers in a case,
five cases of game, so it's like five hundred beers.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Wow, all right, well there's five hundred beers a game.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
All right, I'm sorry, all right, but that was you know,
that was a terrible attempt at mass.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
That's all right. I will I won't throw anything at
you ever again where you have to pull out a calculator. Okay, yeah, man,
let me give it to That's all right. Kyle Fisher
enjoined it us here having some fun today.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Anyways, we move on.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
No, I brought it up because of the wind Kyle,
have you ever seen anything like that? Yesterday? That was
the most ridiculous wind in my neck of the woods,
and I know you lived near me. It was crazy.
I was like, I've never felt wind like this before,
and I obviously like storms, but there was no storm.
It wasn't rain. It was just whipping wind and it
(02:48):
was doing that. We saw a video from a guy
that works at another radio station. He was out there
and his flagpoles were moving, so I didn't think we
were gonna see any home run. So I bring that
up because JT's home run was pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, yeah, the wind was was pretty nuts. I mean
it was the first thing that people asked about the
when Topper had his pretty game availability It was I've
seen crazy wind down there, but it's few and far between,
so to see that wind last night, and then it
all seemed to be blowing out to right field, which
makes the I mean, the home runs are pretty impressive.
(03:20):
Harper's looked like it wasn't going to get out either,
and it ended up getting over by a few rows.
I usually try and judge by the fielder when it's
when I'm unsure, especially by the wind, and that guy
was tracking and tracking T Max said pretty quickly that
it hit the The emphasis in his voice made it
seemed like he knew it was gone, but the fielder
wasn't convinced until it was until it finally went over
(03:41):
his head. So yeah, that wind was pretty nuts. Like
you said, that JT home run even more impressive as
a result.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You're right about that, all right, Keeping it moving once
U doing an update. Some live action matts tied the
game up three three man, that's a feisty bunch of
Metropolitan players. They got thereas they are now tied up
in the ninth, I means they got three. Did they
get three in the top of the eighth or any
ninth itself? Wow, I don't have it in front of me,
(04:09):
but it's late. It's either any eighth or ninth, so
the same difference there. They ended up tying the game up.
So we'll keep you posted as far as that is concerned.
NBA Hoops conversation coming your way at five o'clock, talk
about both playing games going down tonight, some slight line movement.
At this point in time, the Bulls are two point
favorites two twenty over the Miami Heat that bumped up
(04:30):
from about a point. Some money coming in on the Bulls.
No surprise, Bulls are three and oh versus the Miami
Heat this year. And to put a bow on that conversation,
three and oh since February, So all three games between
these two teams started to took place after February sixth,
Bulls three and oh in those games their two point
favorites at home, and tonight the Dallas Mavericks without Luca unbelievable.
(04:53):
Still can't believe he's not a member of that team.
Sacramento Kings are four and a half point favorites, two
thirteens your total in that one. That's a real tough
ballgame for me to pick. But I have to go
with the Dallas Mavericks have been showing some fight. Anthony
Davis has been playing well. I like them to cover
that number and potentially pull off the upset. We'll break
that one down a little bit more later in the
(05:15):
in the day here on the Gambler, Kyle, though, did
you pay attention to any of the games last night?
Because the Warriors start and finish, You know, I get it.
The Memphis Grizzlies aren't the Lakers. They aren't the Oklahoma
City Thunder. But it's not about them. It's about Steph Curry,
who's won multiple championships. It's about Jimmy Butler, who turns
(05:36):
it on this time a year. It's about Steve Curry,
who's a hell of a coach as well. They have
some pretty good pieces surrounding those two guys. But if
you get that type of production from Jimmy Butler and
Steph Curry. Albeit they scored seventy eight last night combined
between the two, but like, is it that much of
a stretch to believe that Jimmy and Steph are still
(05:56):
going to get THURSDA night and night out because it's
the playoffs, so the war Years. Do you consider them
a championship contender right now?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Kyle, Yeah, I mean they have to be considered a
legitimate threat. You have two guys with a lot of
playoff experience, one with multiple championships under his belt. I
mean it's a team that Yeah, they're a little bit
older and they might not look like the Warriors of old,
but they're a team that is is clearly legitimate and
with Jimmy looking as healthy as he has recently, I
think that that's a big difference. Is he gonna drop
(06:26):
thirty seven thirty eight every night? Probably not, But those
two guys mix very well. You know, you're talking about
an inside game versus an outside game. You can have
both going at the same time without taking away from
the other one. Right, Clearly it worked having the Splash
Brothers there for so long with those two guys different
versions of a three point shot, but they both relied
heavily on the three. Obviously not the same build as
(06:51):
they want were, but you have two guys who are
going to get in and know how to pass the
ball and know how to get a shot up in
Draymond and Jimmy. Jimmy can get you twenty five a night.
Steph obviously averaged almost twenty four and a half this season.
And if he gets on one like he did late
and late in the game last night, I mean, it's
how can you not put them up there with anybody.
(07:12):
I don't know how they've played against Houston this year,
but I put them up against anybody right now based
on how they played last night alone.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I agree after the game. Steve Kerr on Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
In these big moments, these big games, he just settles
you down constantly. He just told me, I don't care
who guards me, you know, just give me, give me space,
give me the ball. I'll make something happen. And that's
the beauty of Jimmy. We have morphed into a different team.
We've got the movement and the flow of Steph, but
we're we've also become, for half a game, a great
ISO team. We've never been an ISO team here. There's
(07:44):
great advantage to that. Jimmy has completely changed everything for
since he's been here, and tonight was a great example.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's unbelievable, man, the numbers since he's been a part
of the team. They put this out there yesterday during
the broadcast when Jimmy Butler joined the Golden State Warriors.
Record wise, Golden State was seventeenth in the NBA, but
now third since the trade. Defensive rating they were tenth,
now best since the trade turnovers forced they were fifteenth
(08:14):
at the point in time of the trade. They're now
the best team the free throw percentage they were last.
Listen to this. They were last in free throw percentage
at the time in the NBA and then the trade.
Since the trade their second best. This is insane. What
Jimmy Butler has been able to do to that franchise,
(08:35):
and you would never think he just like as good
as Jimmy Butler was, like he was going down a
different path and it just felt like, all right, maybe
Jimmy's time is over right, he's getting a little older.
He wasn't that good in Miami. But no, it was
clearly not that because you got him into this position
playing around these type of players with championship caliber potential,
(08:59):
and he has been an extreme difference maker and you
saw it last night, So I'm with you, man, they
have to be discussed in that conversation when you bring
up championship contenders, especially in that high potent West.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
For shure Man, he's he is a difference maker. He's
a guy. You know, he might not get talked about
in the same way that Harden and mb do when
it comes to getting your shot and getting to the line,
but he's he's been that guy his whole career. He's
a gritty player. He's a guy who's who's gonna fight
for every shot, fight for every in. She's gonna play
hard on defense. It's it's a guy who is a
(09:32):
difference maker on a on a champion, a team that
was potent. You know, you always think of the Warriors
as a potential for a playoff run, even if they're
not the same team they once were, and he can
clearly he's been a difference maker for them, though it's
wild to see what he's done for them.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
All Right, we got a lot to discuss, a lot
of time to discuss the NBA, because if you don't know,
you should know by now that the NBA playoffs take
three months.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Literally, it feels like, yeah, it takes for it.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Does the NBA CHAMPI win is the NBA champion? NBA
Championship date June fifth, all right, so April May into June,
so we could say three months to complete, but not
exactly ninety days. I think people would understand that. Anyways,
I did want to get your thoughts on this one
(10:18):
because we are nine days away from the NFL Draft.
Do you have your eyes set on anybody from the
perspective or a position for the Eagles? How are you
going about from an Eagles fan's thoughts as we head
into the draft in Green Bay at the end of
the month, again, nine days away, expectations. I'll tell you
(10:41):
what Kyle, this team won the Super Bowl, and it
is just not interest because I'm always intrigued by what
the Eagles are doing, but man, they're on the back burner.
Like when it comes to people forcing topics down my throat,
I don't want to hear it. You got this dude,
Chase Daniel who's making a name from stuff just being
a troll and talking about Like, I don't care if
(11:03):
you say something negative about jail Arts right now. It
tells me all I need to know about you. So
like when it comes to the NFL Draft for the Eagles,
I'm like, all right, I was gonna wheeling deal, he's
gonna make a play. I'm sure they have a couple
players in mind at that position that they're drafting, but oh,
in all my expectations are whole home. Like I got
zero interest from the Eagles perspective at this point in
(11:24):
time going into the NFL Draft. I hate to say it,
but it's a good thing. It's a good thing. They
just won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, it's it's the opposite of like when when they're
really struggling, you're like, I don't even know where to start.
Just pick whoever is the best player available in it.
It's like what they've done with draft picks in late rounds,
with the draft picks that they have to trade to
move up, they're gonna make moves. Why it'd be players
or picks on the day of. So I haven't paid
too much attention, but you asked me what would I
(11:52):
what would I target if I'm if from them? I mean,
I would probably start with defensive line, just to add
depth there. It's always good to have extra edge rushers.
I like having an extra defensive tackle. I would start there.
Maybe maybe in a later round you go, oh, line,
but you know you're talking. You need there, probably you
need a safety. But I think they're gonna let these
(12:14):
cornerbacks continue to develop. They're gonna let the two guys
they drafted last year run the show. I don't think you, like,
there's no obvious standout need right Like, sure, you could
draft a tight end to start training under Goddard, just
like Goddard did Ertz and Ertz did who was it before? Well,
I don't know why I'm drawing and blank, but anyway,
(12:35):
they've they've done this the last few few years with
tight ends. It's like every five or six years they
draft another guy to start working behind the guy before him,
So that's spread sell, that's what.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I don't know why. Yeah, pretty big piece in the
real estate game. I was reading an article about him.
He's doing well about.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That, but yeah, i'd probably go defensive tack like Walter
Nolan's been mentioned in a few mock drafts out of
Old Miss. I've liked what I've seen on video from him,
but I'm not a video breakdown. I don't know everything
that I'm looking at when I'm watching video. Right, he
looks really strong, but we'll see how that translates to
the to the NFL. And I don't expect them to
(13:12):
necessarily sit at thirty two in that first round, So
we'll see what happens. But it's not worth diving into
because they have so much flexibility from my perspective, and
you know, I'm a baseball guy first. Obviously, I'm going
to pay attention to the draft as we get as
we come up on it. But there's moves to be
made and how he's proven that he's going to make them,
So we'll see what they what they're even looking at
(13:34):
when it comes to first round, and maybe that those
first two days, But personally me, I'd go either edge
rusher or defensive tackle for you.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Know, look, there are a lot of really good players
in this draft, depending on what position. Of course, some
are stronger than others. I think this does have a good,
solid top five with names that we know very well
at this point in time. Guys like Travis Hunter of course,
a dual Carter no need to go into any deeper
than that should or Sanders insfection a lot of attention
and that's understood. We know cam Word's going number one overall.
(14:03):
So there is a lot of good topics that we
can focus on with comes NFL draft. But down the way,
I start to wonder about what these other teams in
the division are gonna do, specifically the Commanders, who have
a lot of good things going right now, and the Cowboys,
like you know, can the Cowboys who most of the
time love to take shots, love to go and swing
(14:24):
for the fences and like a Ceedee Lamb, not swing
for defenses, you know, because he was drafted a little
bit later in that realm. But they're not scared to
take a big name. They don't really care what is
being said. And specifically, I'm bringing that up because of
a guy like Ashton Genty, who was an unbelievable running
back last year. I had a great college career. We
know that. We know that the emphasis as far as
(14:47):
running backs having a good running back now is starting
to come back to what it used to be. All
that being said, good luck with a good running back
and not having a a at least an average offensive line.
I don't know where we rank the Cowboys, but Gent
is a guy that can go out there and handle
his own I mean he is a just a stud,
(15:09):
a work horse, a true bell coal back. He will
be there for the Cowboys. I've been looking at mock drafts.
Some have him in the top ten, some have him sliding.
I don't think he's going to slide, but I do
think the Cowboys will have a shot at selecting Gent
at twelve. If that's the case. Does that send up
any alarm bells for you? Do any whistles go off?
(15:30):
Like Genty and the Cowboys, Man, that's that's gonna be
a pretty good combination in my mind.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I mean, Dak isn't necessarily a guy who is known
as a runner, and they haven't gotten much production out
of the running back position last especially last year after
you know, we saw they tried to bring back what's
his name and it didn't work out. He's over the
hill now, seat, Yeah, it's they thought that would work.
(16:00):
It didn't. Like you said, running back matters to an extent, right,
We got to see how this guy adjusts to the NFL,
and he need an offensive line to truly let him
do that. Where their offensive line, even if it's middle
of the pack, if this guy continues to fight through
contact like he did in the college ranks, then yeah,
he's a real threat and that evolves their offense. They
(16:22):
already have strong weapons in the receiving corps. A healthy
deck is still a good dack. You know, I don't
think that there's a lot of Eagles fans who hate
on him. I think that he's a really strong quarterback.
I don't know if i'd ever put him in a
top five conversation anything like that, but he's really good.
If they can draw things up for him to make
him look even better, and if you add the true
(16:42):
threat of a running game as opposed to the perceived
one with Zeke being over the hill, you know, he's
a guy who who can make every throw and if
Jent he can do a little bit to give them
different looks, it's clearly a threat. But to me, I
always build him that. I'm always big on building the trench.
And they don't have an offensive lineer. If they're an
injury away from from concerns there, then it doesn't matter
(17:05):
who you pick at running back if they're running into
a brick wall every single time.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
They did sign Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams, so that
might take them out of the running for a guy
like Genty, But I just it's Jerry. You know how
he operates. Man, he sees names yep and Genty. Is
that so we'll see. Is there a guy that you
have your eyes on as far as the draft is concerned,
that you think is a huge difference maker for anybody
that gets them.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I'm really I mean, I'm Dual Carter's in scene. I
know that we're talking about, you know, top three, He's
he's a guy who's going to be a difference maker immediately.
So every place has him. Going to the Giants, I'm
not looking forward to facing him twice a year.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That means the Browns pass on him. If you're Cleveland.
Do you do that?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
No.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
A lot of places have them taking Sanders. But I'm
not big on taking the quarterback when you have a
ton of I know that I'm in the minority on that.
People want to take a quarterback to give their fans promise.
But if you have nobody to protect the quarterback, it
doesn't matter how good the quarterback is. So to me,
I wouldn't take them. Maybe they take Travis Hunter just
(18:14):
to kind of potentially fill two holes with one. They
like to be creative and take big names, and then
Carter there would fall to the Giants. Maybe they do
take Carter and then and then he and then Hunter's
there for the Giants instead. But most of the places
I'm seeing are either Hunter or Sanders going to Cleveland,
(18:35):
and then Carter ending up in New York. So, I
mean Hunter is the most intriguing one, right, If he's
really dead set on playing both positions, what's that going
to look like? How's he going to have the stamina
when the game evolves, when the game and the speed changes.
And this not only does speed, like the energy of
the game is different, the strength of the players are different.
Everything about the game is so much different. At the
(18:57):
NFL level than it is the college. So we'll see
how long that lasts. But he's the most intriguing prospect
for sure, because when's the last time you saw a
guy come out and say, no, I am playing both positions,
both sides of the ball in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, it's very very interesting, and I'm pulling for him.
But I do think you know, in this day, in
today's NFL, you're asking for it if you believe that
you can go out there and get a certain amount
of snaps and that involves both ways. I just his
number one concern is he's got to be available, and
(19:31):
that would be the first thing that goes through my
mind is like, man, if he's playing both ways, I
cannot afford to get him dinged up. And look, I
also respect it because if you want to make a
name for yourself and do something that really hasn't ever
been done and build your legacy as such, he is
good enough to do it at the collegiate level. Is
(19:52):
he good enough to do it at the NFL. Let's
see what he's got. I mean, he's a hell of
a prospect, and I am pulling for him. I just
am a little concern when it comes to that, and
i'd still you know, where's the money at That's where
I follow he'll make more money on this side of
the ball, then that's what he's going to play. That's
been my thought process all along. But if you listen
to him, he wants to play both ways. I do
want to bring this up. We just got a brand
(20:13):
new mock draft from Fantasy Pros. Everyone's doing a mock draft.
That's fine, and including we're gonna have one coming up here,
our first mock draft with Mark Henry Jr. And Ryan
beef Coyle and Nick McClay. So I'm looking forward to
hear what those guys have. But right here, they got
Genty This Pat fitz Maurice from Fantasy Pros. He's got
Ashton Genty going six to Vegas, which is awesome. I
(20:36):
like that. I like that. I love that. It's a
big time deal, a lot of attention, and of course,
you know swing for defenses. Why not. They have Cambore
going one, no surprise there, Travis Hunter two, and then
Carter going three to the New York Giants. And that's
not what we want to see because now you're talking
about a pretty good defense. If you add a guy
(20:56):
like Abdul Carter to your defense, it only lifts it up. Man,
he was a freak at Penn State last year and
I do expect him to be able to be explosive
at the next level. So that's only going to help
things out on the defensive side of the ball for
the Giants. Offensively, they're atrocious and they're going to be
in trouble all season long. But a'll do. Carter could
(21:17):
be somebody that's freaking havoc on the defense side of
the ball for the Giants for years to come in
the in the division.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, I would not be a fan of him going there.
I think he may end up going there. I think
Cleveland they like flashy names as well. For how much
it hasn't paid off, Yeah, I think that Hunter going
there might be that might be the biggest chance for
him to truly play both sides of the ball a lot.
But to from my perspective, if I'm a team picking
the top five, I want to guarantee at a position
(21:46):
that's going to be my be my top guy there
in the next few years. And I'm worried that he's
gonna if he's insistent on playing both sides of the ball,
that he's going to end up being a part time
player at both positions because it's imposts to just stay
on the field that long. You need a rest, you
need to break. Is he going to be a third
string wide receiver and a third string cornerback or a
(22:08):
nickel guy or is he going to be a starter
at one and maybe fill in in an emergency in
the other. And I think that's the way you get
to find out is by going to a bad team
and lett him mess around with it, right, And Cleveland's
bad enough where they're probably going to let him run
until he decides what's best for him and what they
what's best for them. So yeah, it'd be interesting. I
definitely want to avoid Carter, so I would as an
(22:31):
Eagles fan selfishly, I would love it if Cleveland took
him so he can't go to the New York Giants.
But a lot to see how it plays out. Yeah,
it is an interesting wildcard every year.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
So the NFL Draft in Green Bay this year and
we'll see what it looks like. I know that there's
a lot of history right there with the Packers of
lambeau Field and espeople do a great job. But man,
I am like my number one deal. I'm looking forward
to seeing where Jente Land's a big fan of him.
Of course, on the top five plays out in Shador Sanders.
(23:01):
There's a lot of hype, a lot of fanfare right now.
I'm starting to read things like you're gonna see Dark
going to top ten, You're gonna see Sanders be trade
up and get you know, people want to sit there.
I caught this video yesterday on Viisen where this dude's
young daughter bust in while he's live, and the comment
he's making is that he's got Sanders falling the twentieth
(23:23):
And I'm just like, I can see a team saying, nope,
we're gonna trade up and get a guy like that,
and they should because Sanders is a good quarterback. He
is a good quarterback as a playout the next level. Dude,
it's all about what's upstairs. I would be willing to
give him an opportunity. Now, am I saying a top
three pick depends how desperate. If I'm the Giants, it's tough.
(23:46):
It's tough. I would do anything and everything to go
get a quarterback that isn't Russell Wilson or Jamis Winston,
that's for damn sure. But when you got the third
overall pick, get a guy like abdu Al Carter, maybe
a trade back up, you pull like a Houston Texans
like they did years ago with CJ. Stradd and Will Anderson.
If you can get a guy like Abduel Carter and
then get back into top ten, top five and get
(24:07):
a guy like Shora Sanders, how do you not how
are you not excited? Like that automatically shifts expectations and
thoughts from your fan base as a whole, versus going
into this season with no hope. Jameis Winston and Russell
Wilson aren't starting quarterbacks like they're decent, you know, but
you know darn well that pick six are coming. And
(24:28):
Russ just isn't good enough. And I'd liked Russ at Pittsburgh,
but he showed all I needed last year, and especially
with that team with all their holes, Russell Wilson isn't
going to be effective. Schador is something that you can
build off of. Get him in there, get him on
the opportunity. We'll see. But the Giants haven't been making
right calls in the past few seasons, so I don't
expect them to get this one right either. Anyways, final
(24:50):
thoughts frea get out of here. Kyle hung with me
for the first full hour and then some thank you
very much? What you got cooking? Man's what's the latest
that we can read over on the metro and all
that good stuff. What do you got cooking right now?
Speaker 2 (25:02):
So right now, nothing too exciting. I just put out
a piece earlier this week on Brandon March's early season struggles,
especially when we thought he was going to be out
two to three games. He ended up playing yesterday, but
talked about him, talked to him prior to Monday's game,
talked to Cody Clemens about him, and I brought up
some quotes from a conversation I had with him last
year about how he deals with struggles, especially against left
handed hitting, with a fun conversation that he had with
(25:24):
Shohey o'tani back when they were teammates. I'll be in
the box tomorrow, so make sure you check me out
at Kyle Fisher four or five at Philadelphia SN for
Philly Sports Network. Our guy Sean Nesters in there tonight
if you want to give him a follow as well.
Weird lineup tonight. I'm interested to see comments about this
tomorrow when I get a chance to talk to Topper
(25:44):
Schwarberg getting the start in left field, Real Muto Dhing,
Marshawn behind the plate, no Stot, no Kepler who had
two hits last night, No Marsh against the lefty Robbie Ray.
So it'll be interesting to see this game go down,
see how Schwarberd is out in left field. Hopefully there's
a little less win for him, easier time for him.
(26:05):
But I'll be going down to the ballpark tonight, so
you won't see tweets from me tonight. I'm going down
with the family for a night off, and then i'll
be back down there tomorrow in the booth, probably alongside
our guy Luke getting some more info. So once I
out more, i'll tweet it out. You guys can see
what we got cooking over there.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Kyle Fisher forty five on Socials, Bang up job as always, Kyle,
can't think enough for hanging with me here. Let's do
it again soon before we get out of here. Colin
Calherd with a tweet. Now Collins got his ear to
the ground when it comes to all things California Sports.
He says, I am told moments ago Niko is going
to UCLA. Family still claims it's not about the money,
(26:40):
it's about Vall's offense. I was not told what Ruins
are paying. Yeah, I just felt like they were gonna
meet that number. No matter what, Nico's gonna end up
at whatever Division one program in California, it's where he's
from UCLA. No surprise there. If that is in fact
where he ends up with something, to keep our eyes
on and we'll see what happens, because he's a hell
(27:01):
of talent. Anyways, Kyle, great stuff coming up next. We're
gonna stay with the NFL conversation, Ryan Beefcoil, Nick McLay
sleepers when it comes to the NFL Draft. Five o'clock.
Back over to the world of the NBA. Sean Bnard
joins me. We talk all things NBA Playoffs. Six o'clock.
Rory finally got over the hump, won a green jacket
(27:24):
seventeen years in the making. Find out what Moose, Mays
and Dan Y'll have to say. And then seven o'clock
more NBA conversation with Sam Austri and Chan Bnard. Everybody,
good luck, on those players. I'll be back live tomorrow
at three pm. Go Phils.
