Speaker 3 (00:25):
Fingers crossed in a way we go, and a good
beautiful Friday afternoon here in Dellwarre Valley.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
I am Jean Brace. He is Luke Rcany.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
We got a lot of people rowing through here as
we are alive for Game one Phillies and Mets. Now, Luke,
I am a man about town. I am a man
that knows a thing or two about a thing or
two when it's going down in.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
The city of Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Shame on me because I did not know that one
of the most popular clubs in soccer in the world
is playing right now at Lincoln Financial Field. I knew
there would be traffic, There's always traffic.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
It's a Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You got the beach people, everything all rolled up in
the one and then you had the fact that Chelsea
is playing at Lincoln Financial Field. Parking is not available anywhere.
This place over here is not open just yet. The
locks at is Bank Park they're not open just yet.
So literally, I had to pretend that I was going
to live casino.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Apart for free and then walked over here.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
But brutal.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I digress.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I mean, listen, I'm not I'm not called up on soccer,
so I don't know what's going on down here. What
I do know what's going on down here is Phillies
Mets tonight tied to the top of the NL East.
That's that right there is what matters in this city. Tonight,
Phillies Mets three game series. Phillies have lost their last
five games against the Mets. So I think we all
(01:53):
know the playoffs, the three game series in New York.
It's gonna be it's gonna be a good one. It's
gonna be a good series. I think it's gonna be
rowdy inside of there for the next few days, some
good pitching matches. We might have just had a goal
there reaction. We're watching the TV, but it seems like
we got a goal over there.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I don't know what's going on. I'm not a soccer
Guy's got a wow. No, that trusts me. That's the
last thing I needed.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
That's Sam world, dude.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
We got the World Cup, and I'll be ready for
the World Cup. I only watch the tournaments that matter.
I'll be ready for the World Cup, and I believe.
I believe, Yeah, we got a goal. I think about
thirty seconds late here, and I.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Believe Sam Oh look crossing the no. See, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
People are just dying for anything, so they go nuts.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well, No, I should have known that wasn't a goal
because I heard Chelsea's first goal when I was walking
over here, and it was loud in there, real out
all right.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
So we got sam Ostri back at the studio. He's
going to be joining us via the stream as well.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
So this is good. This is a smooth operation. I
promise you, folks.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
We are here presented by the fine folks overhead, Tickpick
Bird Gang.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Football season's coming.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
The link is already rocking, uh, from fresh rookies to
NFC showdowns.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Make sure you're part of all the action.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
We open up with the boys and we're not gonna
stop until we get ourselves in NFC Championship game at home.
Tick Pick is the official fan experienced partner of the
Philadelphia Eagles. Why Tickpick, Luke Rcaney, funny, you ass, because
no hidden fees in the lowest price guaranteed.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Aren't they are the worst? I think Tickpick has been
ahead of the game.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I believe there is a law going in regulation might
be state to state, but they are now trying to
get the fees added it.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
From There's there's no point of fees. That's why you
gotta use tickpick.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Don't get bitch scrab your seats now at tippick dot com.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
All right, let's talk about the Phillies and Mets. That's
why we're here.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
We got game six, Game six to review, of course
Game seven to preview. And oh, by the way, there
is a documentary out there on HBO Max that will
be gaining more steam over the next twenty four to
forty eight hours, and I would I would think now,
I know we live in a different day and age,
(04:09):
but s is gonna hit the fans starting next week.
And of course I'm talking about the Ohio State Surviving
Ohio State documentary.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That just came out. It is insane. I just watched it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
And it it is just dropping And the only thing
that goes through your mind is Penn State, and of
course what took place at Michigan State. But there's some
different major differences between Penn State, Michigan State and what
took place at Ohio State. We'll save that for later.
Let's open up though, Mets, Phillies. Mets are absolutely putrid
(04:39):
right now?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yeah, thank Tom?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
What's going on with the Mets? And can we should
we expect that tonight? I guess let's start there.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, I mean, well, I will say the Phillies have
the advantage tonight. The Mets their their starter that was
supposed to start tonight. Justin Hagenman pitched last night because
they needed a pitcher last night. He was a call
from Triple The guy pitching tonight for them is also
a call up for Triple A.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
That that's kind of been.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Where the Phillies are are very strong in right now
is where the Mets are starting to falter. They they
started off the season really good on the mound, and
the last few weeks have been pretty bad.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
So they have a.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Minor league guy going for them tonight, and and we
got the one and only Zach Wheeler.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Should be a good one.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Zack Wheeler a one eight oh A one eight o
e r A and his last three starting against the Mets.
Funny fact, the Phillies have actually lost all three of
those games. But yeah, hey, now, yeah, no, I mean
it should be a good one. The Phillies just need
to come out with some fire like what what happened
in Queens a few months ago was was was bad.
(05:49):
They got they got panted for for three games after
getting knocked out by their division rival in the NLDS
last year. This is a series where, like listen, obviously
I would love two of three, I would love a sweep,
but I want the Phillies to come out with just
absolute firepower, like I think they need to come out tonight.
(06:10):
They need to set the tone and they need to
show the Mets they improve to them that the Mets
don't own us. The Phillies have lost five straight games
against the Mets, obviously the sweeping Queens and then the
last two in the NLDS last year. It's just a
perfect time for the Phillies to really beat up on
(06:30):
a division rival. The Mets have lost six in a row.
They're four and six in their last ten. The Phillies
obviously take three or four down in Miami. They're playing
good baseball right now. Even after everything happens with Nick
Cassionis route Thompson that all seems to be resolved whatever
happened there. But this is a tale of one team
that's playing good baseball and one team that's not. But
(06:52):
I think we all know the division games, no matter
what happens, they're always close, and even if they're not
close on the score, they just always feel close.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, look, we got you for another ten minutes, as
you got a race across the street to get with
Rob Thompson. Appreciate a couple of minutes to start the
show up here, Luca as always. But bottom line is,
as you just pointed out, it's a it's a division battle.
Teams are in first place right now, tied at the
top forty five and thirty. The juices are going to
be there. And it's funny because you think about and
(07:22):
we were actually talking about this yesterday, Sam and myself
about you know, and it pains me to say it,
but the New York sports fan.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Deserves a little bit more credit these days.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I used to look at them as a little little
you know, over the time, just you know, over sold, right,
And I was just like, yeah, they're a good fan.
There's a bajillion of them, because of course we know
how big Manhattan is and all that. But at the
end of the day, they travel and I tip my
cap they do, So the juices are going to be
going in there. It's going to be a packed house,
(07:52):
probably eighty percent Phillies fans, but that twenty percent contention
of Lots fans.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
They get loud, they get rowdy.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, if you ever realized too, it's always right behind
their dugout. Ye, whenever the Phillies Mets, there's a big
sea of Mets fans right behind the dugout. I mean
that's I mean, the two best traveling fans in baseball
are the Phillies and the Mets. I mean, I know
it's Miami, but the Phillies fans took over Miami. Like
the Phillies fans take over everywhere we go, and the
Mets fans take not take over, but they show out
(08:18):
wherever the Mets go. Correct, So it's it's gonna be awesome.
We've got some Mets fans walking over and here already.
It's it's gonna be good. It's gonna be a really, really,
really awesome series.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Now, fans aside, we know it all takes place on
the field, and as the Mets have lost six straight,
you know that they're gonna be ready to go for
this one.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
But it's a tough spot again DraftKings where we're pulling.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Up the numbers from you're getting Wheeler at minus two
oh three, Blade didwell making his second career start. That
to me does not sound like an even playing field.
And therefore there you see the minus.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Two oh three.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, it's gotta be tonight. If if you're gonna route
this team in one game, it's it's gotta be tonight.
And and this is where, like this is the perfect
night tonight to just come out and just just basically
lay the hammer down, like show these guys that this
isn't gonna be an easy series to them because the
last five games they they've they've beat up on us,
(09:13):
the last five Phillies Mets games, And like, this is
a series where you need to come out. You need
seven from Wheeler tonight, You need Schwarber to go yard,
you need the runs on the board. It you can't
make this game against a triple A pitcher with Zach
Wheeler on the mound, a two to one Phillies league
going nbaight. You have to come out and you have
(09:34):
to beat up on them. You have to do what
they did to you and Queens a few months ago, because.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
They they embarrassed us they did those three games. Those
games were never close.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Even if they felt close and the score was closed,
they were never close. That that's what the Phillies need
to do tonight, and I think they will do it tonight.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
They've been playing really good baseball.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I will say Schwarber, uh ten years of service today,
how about that.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
That's always a little boost.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I just feel like in the clubhouse it's all is
just like a respect thing.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Yeah, going around.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
They made mention of it.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
They know there'll probably be something in the locker room.
I think this is going to be a big win.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
For the Phillies today.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Good. We need it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I'll be in the house. It's a father's day presidenter
for my father in law.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
With the uh my two brother in laws coming down.
We're gonna be getting rowdy.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
We'll be in section one oh nine, I believe, so
uh six row and looking forward to it as I
think we have.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
No I wanted to say goal, so bad man.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
No goal.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But they get rowdy. Man, it's pretty loud over there.
I'll give them credit as far as that is concerned.
Over there too as well. A lower bowl full doesn't
look like upper bowl at all over there at like.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
No there is so they they didn't sell the middle bowl.
They sold the upper bowl. There's fans in the upper bowl.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Wow. So yeah you can see it? Yeah wow damn?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Okay, Well then that really does make sense as far
as the parking is concerned.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's a big deal for Philadelphia, the soccer world in general.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I used to be Shanny soccer.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It fell off a little bit for a man, you guy, right, Well,
I still am, okay, still, I guess you could qualify
me as a fair weather fan to a point. They're
not exactly the best team out there, but I am
a die Heartfield w Union supporter who will.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
By the way, our kick a button taking names this
year as well. So m oh I tied it up?
Tied it up? Who's this team? Flamingo Lamingo? All the heck?
Is that all right?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So talk to me about some props before you get
out of here once again tonight, first pitch coming our
way here at six forty five three hours, forty nine
minutes courting a DraftKings sportsbook. Here, where are we looking
at for props? Is this a Schwarber day at the
top and or Trey Turner. What are we looking at
for your mind.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
As far as Phillies are concervative, Yeah, I think if
you're gonna do anything, I think you want to just
just continue to ride the hot hands, look to the
hot ones. Look for Schwarber. Obviously a big bomb last night.
He really needed that one. He was he was struggling.
I think he was four for his last like forty one.
I think somebody said really struggling. He got back on
the board last night. Big homer for bryceon Stott. Obviously
(12:02):
in the third game of that series. He's really needed that.
He's he's the guy that that really needed to get.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Out of something.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So I mean I would look just towards the heavy hitters, Uh, Schwarber, Trey,
both of those guys have obviously been having really good series. Specifically, UH,
Trey Turner has just been having an awesome season.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I wrote a big thing the other day. I just
think his season somehow going under the radar.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I don't I don't want to stir up too much
here as there's not a ton of Mets fans, But
I mean, if you look at the ops, Trey Turner's
got a better ops for Francisco Lindoor the shit damn right.
So he's been he's been having a really nice season.
I think it's a good spot for Wheeler. Listen, this
this this Mets lineup right now, if you look at
some of the back end guys in these lineup, it's
(12:44):
it's it's just not great.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Mark Bientos is on the il right.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Now, it's it's just not not a great back end
of the lineup. I think we all know what the
top half of that Mets lineup can do, obviously with
Alonso Sodo Lindor, but you know that that five through
nine of that Mets is just pretty brutal. So it
should be a good night for Wheeler. He's always had
a lot of success against his former team yep, So
(13:08):
once again, I just think this has this has Phillies
Phillies win written all over its six.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
And a half strikeouts for Wheeler.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
At minus one thirty five, it is a little up there,
but again, we know how dominant Zach Wheeler is can be.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Going up against Blake.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Tidwell's second professional starts for the New York Mets was
a Hikes draft pick. A lot of expectations for this
can't believe back in twenty twenty two. But at the
end of the day, Uh, this is the show, my friend,
and this is a big time game here in June.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
It doesn't have the October vibes, It doesn't have the
late September vibes. Really quick, it just has it has
a good feel to it right now that baseball means something.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
What I need this Phillies Mets.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
And listen, the Phillies Mets rivalry is it's still great.
It was. It was great in the playoffs last year
even though we lost. I need the Phillies Mets rivalry
to be as good as Dodgers. Pop Jersey says, Right now,
did you see what went down last night Dodgers Padres?
Oh yeah, absolutely unbelievable. Somebody may have just scored again maybe,
(14:08):
but I mean listen, man, there them them hit the
patis and the bench is clearing, and Dave Roberts telling
the Padres coach I'll talk. So we'll talk after the game,
and then the Padres going up and in on show.
Hey dude, that is I'll tell you what. That is
the best rivalry in baseball right now?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, you know, look, I don't think that could put
it in front of Socks Yankees, because we were talking
about this the other day. You know, it's Tops Yankees,
It's and C two kids up Ohio State Michigan. But
at the end, you know, like if there is going
to be someone that overtakes it, that's how you do
It's that one. Give me some tempers flaring, give me
some high and tight balls, and that is the goal
(14:48):
now on top two to one. All right, nobody cares
about that, but Luke, we do care about you. You
got a job to do it for crossing broad dot Com.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
You're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Run across the street. Yeah, what are you asking? Rob Thompson,
what do you want to hear? What's the deal? Oh man, listen.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I mean, I don't want to be the one, but
I got to ask him how everything's going to castle Ie.
It does seem like we are going to get a
Bryce Harper update today. So Harper did not travel to Miami.
He stayed back in Philly. He did some dry swings yesterday.
He did throw the ball for the first time yesterday.
Seems like it seemed from what we've heard that we
(15:22):
should get a pretty maybe a timeline update today as
far as that.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
That's really about it.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Though, right now, just I just really want to know,
you know what, what's going to change, because something of
their approach going against the Mets needs to change from
their last five matters.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
You know what's changing for me? What's changed my golf game?
Is it my lessons are kicking?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh, there we go, my lessons at my first sub
eighty round of the area.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
How about this? Are you ready for this?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
The shoulder, the shoulder is so important and like, yeah,
that's it's it's now I'm up.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
You know. The first step was changing my trajectory.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You were here, right, yeah, you were there, So now
I'm I'm out with the club. And then now it's
just the shoulder down.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
It's the shoulder in the club, face the shoulder.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And then this is where it is my around the
green dude, he's got me hit it, hitting it contact
every time. The logo of the glove. That's the secret there,
the secret to the sauce. Yeah is again shoulder out right, smooth,
shoulder out, boom, come through.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
But logo the glove.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So that's been my biggest change this year. Is is
the only like real iffy part of my game in
the past was my driver. It's just it was. It
was never consistent. All it was for me was a
grip change, slight grip change. My left hand goes over
so you can see the logo I am. So that's
all it is.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's like it's like harrowin. I'm still addicted to golf
right now, I'm taking lessons. I went to the driver,
I putt it for forty five minutes. Put it for
forty five better. Let's go, Hey, man, enjoy the game.
You the best, Luke R. Kaney once again, riadam at cross.
They brought dot Com. Fantastic job, Luke car Danny Hey,
other side, we gotta talk to some NBA Finals. We
(17:11):
got a game seven, and man, I'll tell you what.
I would give my soul for the seventy six ers
to have a player like TJ McConnell. I would give
my soul to have a guy like that on the
sixers roster.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Uh oh wait, what's that? Oh he was he was
here before. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
He has now officially stolen the show as far as
NBA Finals is concerned. We got a game seven on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
We got a lot of people rowing through here as
we are alive for Game one Phillies and Mets. Now, Luke,
I am a man about town. I am a man
that knows a thing or two about a thing or
two when it's going down in.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
The city of Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Shame on me because I did not know that one
of the most popular clubs in soccer in the world
is playing right now at Lincoln Financial Field. I knew
there would be traffic, There's always traffic.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
It's a Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You got the beach people, everything all rolled up in
the one and then you had the fact that Chelsea
is playing at Lincoln Financial Field. Parking is not available anywhere.
This place over here is not open just yet. The
locks at is Bank Park they're not open just yet.
So literally, I had to pretend that I was going
to live casino.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Apart for free and then walked over here.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
But brutal.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
I digress.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I mean, listen, I'm not I'm not called up on soccer,
so I don't know what's going on down here. What
I do know what's going on down here is Phillies
Mets tonight tied to the top of the NL East.
That's that right there is what matters in this city. Tonight,
Phillies Mets three game series. Phillies have lost their last
five games against the Mets. So I think we all
(01:53):
know the playoffs, the three game series in New York.
It's gonna be it's gonna be a good one. It's
gonna be a good series. I think it's gonna be
rowdy inside of there for the next few days, some
good pitching matches. We might have just had a goal
there reaction. We're watching the TV, but it seems like
we got a goal over there.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I don't know what's going on. I'm not a soccer
Guy's got a wow. No, that trusts me. That's the
last thing I needed.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
That's Sam world, dude.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
We got the World Cup, and I'll be ready for
the World Cup. I only watch the tournaments that matter.
I'll be ready for the World Cup, and I believe.
I believe, Yeah, we got a goal. I think about
thirty seconds late here, and I.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Believe Sam Oh look crossing the no. See, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
People are just dying for anything, so they go nuts.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well, No, I should have known that wasn't a goal
because I heard Chelsea's first goal when I was walking
over here, and it was loud in there, real out
all right.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
So we got sam Ostri back at the studio. He's
going to be joining us via the stream as well.

Philadelphia Eagles. Why Tickpick, Luke Rcaney, funny, you ass, because
no hidden fees in the lowest price guaranteed.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Aren't they are the worst? I think Tickpick has been
ahead of the game.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I believe there is a law going in regulation might
be state to state, but they are now trying to
get the fees added it.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
From There's there's no point of fees. That's why you
gotta use tickpick.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Don't get bitch scrab your seats now at tippick dot com.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
All right, let's talk about the Phillies and Mets. That's
why we're here.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
We got game six, Game six to review, of course
Game seven to preview. And oh, by the way, there
is a documentary out there on HBO Max that will
be gaining more steam over the next twenty four to
forty eight hours, and I would I would think now,
I know we live in a different day and age,
(04:09):
but s is gonna hit the fans starting next week.
And of course I'm talking about the Ohio State Surviving
Ohio State documentary.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
That just came out. It is insane. I just watched it.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
And it it is just dropping And the only thing
that goes through your mind is Penn State, and of
course what took place at Michigan State. But there's some
different major differences between Penn State, Michigan State and what
took place at Ohio State. We'll save that for later.
Let's open up though, Mets, Phillies. Mets are absolutely putrid
(04:39):
right now?
Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yeah, thank Tom?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
What's going on with the Mets? And can we should
we expect that tonight? I guess let's start there.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, I mean, well, I will say the Phillies have
the advantage tonight. The Mets their their starter that was
supposed to start tonight. Justin Hagenman pitched last night because
they needed a pitcher last night. He was a call
from Triple The guy pitching tonight for them is also
a call up for Triple A.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
That that's kind of been.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Where the Phillies are are very strong in right now
is where the Mets are starting to falter. They they
started off the season really good on the mound, and
the last few weeks have been pretty bad.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
So they have a.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Minor league guy going for them tonight, and and we
got the one and only Zach Wheeler.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Should be a good one.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Zack Wheeler a one eight oh A one eight o
e r A and his last three starting against the Mets.
Funny fact, the Phillies have actually lost all three of
those games. But yeah, hey, now, yeah, no, I mean
it should be a good one. The Phillies just need
to come out with some fire like what what happened
in Queens a few months ago was was was bad.
(05:49):
They got they got panted for for three games after
getting knocked out by their division rival in the NLDS
last year. This is a series where, like listen, obviously
I would love two of three, I would love a sweep,
but I want the Phillies to come out with just
absolute firepower, like I think they need to come out tonight.
(06:10):
They need to set the tone and they need to
show the Mets they improve to them that the Mets
don't own us. The Phillies have lost five straight games
against the Mets, obviously the sweeping Queens and then the
last two in the NLDS last year. It's just a
perfect time for the Phillies to really beat up on
(06:30):
a division rival. The Mets have lost six in a row.
They're four and six in their last ten. The Phillies
obviously take three or four down in Miami. They're playing
good baseball right now. Even after everything happens with Nick
Cassionis route Thompson that all seems to be resolved whatever
happened there. But this is a tale of one team
that's playing good baseball and one team that's not. But
(06:52):
I think we all know the division games, no matter
what happens, they're always close, and even if they're not
close on the score, they just always feel close.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Yeah, look, we got you for another ten minutes, as
you got a race across the street to get with
Rob Thompson. Appreciate a couple of minutes to start the
show up here, Luca as always. But bottom line is,
as you just pointed out, it's a it's a division battle.
Teams are in first place right now, tied at the
top forty five and thirty. The juices are going to
be there. And it's funny because you think about and
(07:22):
we were actually talking about this yesterday, Sam and myself
about you know, and it pains me to say it,
but the New York sports fan.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Deserves a little bit more credit these days.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I used to look at them as a little little
you know, over the time, just you know, over sold, right,
And I was just like, yeah, they're a good fan.
There's a bajillion of them, because of course we know
how big Manhattan is and all that. But at the
end of the day, they travel and I tip my
cap they do, So the juices are going to be
going in there. It's going to be a packed house,
(07:52):
probably eighty percent Phillies fans, but that twenty percent contention
of Lots fans.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
They get loud, they get rowdy.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, if you ever realized too, it's always right behind
their dugout. Ye, whenever the Phillies Mets, there's a big
sea of Mets fans right behind the dugout. I mean
that's I mean, the two best traveling fans in baseball
are the Phillies and the Mets. I mean, I know
it's Miami, but the Phillies fans took over Miami. Like
the Phillies fans take over everywhere we go, and the
Mets fans take not take over, but they show out
(08:18):
wherever the Mets go. Correct, So it's it's gonna be awesome.
We've got some Mets fans walking over and here already.
It's it's gonna be good. It's gonna be a really, really,
really awesome series.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Now, fans aside, we know it all takes place on
the field, and as the Mets have lost six straight,
you know that they're gonna be ready to go for
this one.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
But it's a tough spot again DraftKings where we're pulling.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Up the numbers from you're getting Wheeler at minus two
oh three, Blade didwell making his second career start. That
to me does not sound like an even playing field.
And therefore there you see the minus.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Two oh three.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, it's gotta be tonight. If if you're gonna route
this team in one game, it's it's gotta be tonight.
And and this is where, like this is the perfect
night tonight to just come out and just just basically
lay the hammer down, like show these guys that this
isn't gonna be an easy series to them because the
last five games they they've they've beat up on us,
(09:13):
the last five Phillies Mets games, And like, this is
a series where you need to come out. You need
seven from Wheeler tonight, You need Schwarber to go yard,
you need the runs on the board. It you can't
make this game against a triple A pitcher with Zach
Wheeler on the mound, a two to one Phillies league
going nbaight. You have to come out and you have
(09:34):
to beat up on them. You have to do what
they did to you and Queens a few months ago, because.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
They they embarrassed us they did those three games. Those
games were never close.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Even if they felt close and the score was closed,
they were never close. That that's what the Phillies need
to do tonight, and I think they will do it tonight.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
They've been playing really good baseball.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I will say Schwarber, uh ten years of service today,
how about that.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
That's always a little boost.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I just feel like in the clubhouse it's all is
just like a respect thing.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Yeah, going around.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
They made mention of it.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
They know there'll probably be something in the locker room.
I think this is going to be a big win.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
For the Phillies today.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Good. We need it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I'll be in the house. It's a father's day presidenter
for my father in law.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
With the uh my two brother in laws coming down.
We're gonna be getting rowdy.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
We'll be in section one oh nine, I believe, so
uh six row and looking forward to it as I
think we have.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
No I wanted to say goal, so bad man.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
No goal.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But they get rowdy. Man, it's pretty loud over there.
I'll give them credit as far as that is concerned.
Over there too as well. A lower bowl full doesn't
look like upper bowl at all over there at like.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
No there is so they they didn't sell the middle bowl.
They sold the upper bowl. There's fans in the upper bowl.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Wow. So yeah you can see it? Yeah wow damn?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Okay, Well then that really does make sense as far
as the parking is concerned.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's a big deal for Philadelphia, the soccer world in general.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I used to be Shanny soccer.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It fell off a little bit for a man, you guy, right, Well,
I still am, okay, still, I guess you could qualify
me as a fair weather fan to a point. They're
not exactly the best team out there, but I am
a die Heartfield w Union supporter who will.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
By the way, our kick a button taking names this
year as well. So m oh I tied it up?
Tied it up? Who's this team? Flamingo Lamingo? All the heck?
Is that all right?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So talk to me about some props before you get
out of here once again tonight, first pitch coming our
way here at six forty five three hours, forty nine
minutes courting a DraftKings sportsbook. Here, where are we looking
at for props? Is this a Schwarber day at the
top and or Trey Turner. What are we looking at
for your mind.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
As far as Phillies are concervative, Yeah, I think if
you're gonna do anything, I think you want to just
just continue to ride the hot hands, look to the
hot ones. Look for Schwarber. Obviously a big bomb last night.
He really needed that one. He was he was struggling.
I think he was four for his last like forty one.
I think somebody said really struggling. He got back on
the board last night. Big homer for bryceon Stott. Obviously
(12:02):
in the third game of that series. He's really needed that.
He's he's the guy that that really needed to get.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
Out of something.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So I mean I would look just towards the heavy hitters, Uh, Schwarber, Trey,
both of those guys have obviously been having really good series. Specifically, UH,
Trey Turner has just been having an awesome season.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I wrote a big thing the other day. I just
think his season somehow going under the radar.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I don't I don't want to stir up too much
here as there's not a ton of Mets fans, But
I mean, if you look at the ops, Trey Turner's
got a better ops for Francisco Lindoor the shit damn right.
So he's been he's been having a really nice season.
I think it's a good spot for Wheeler. Listen, this
this this Mets lineup right now, if you look at
some of the back end guys in these lineup, it's
(12:44):
it's it's just not great.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Mark Bientos is on the il right.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Now, it's it's just not not a great back end
of the lineup. I think we all know what the
top half of that Mets lineup can do, obviously with
Alonso Sodo Lindor, but you know that that five through
nine of that Mets is just pretty brutal. So it
should be a good night for Wheeler. He's always had
a lot of success against his former team yep, So
(13:08):
once again, I just think this has this has Phillies
Phillies win written all over its six.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
And a half strikeouts for Wheeler.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
At minus one thirty five, it is a little up there,
but again, we know how dominant Zach Wheeler is can be.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
Going up against Blake.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Tidwell's second professional starts for the New York Mets was
a Hikes draft pick. A lot of expectations for this
can't believe back in twenty twenty two. But at the
end of the day, Uh, this is the show, my friend,
and this is a big time game here in June.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
It doesn't have the October vibes, It doesn't have the
late September vibes. Really quick, it just has it has
a good feel to it right now that baseball means something.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
What I need this Phillies Mets.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
And listen, the Phillies Mets rivalry is it's still great.
It was. It was great in the playoffs last year
even though we lost. I need the Phillies Mets rivalry
to be as good as Dodgers. Pop Jersey says, Right now,
did you see what went down last night Dodgers Padres?
Oh yeah, absolutely unbelievable. Somebody may have just scored again maybe,
(14:08):
but I mean listen, man, there them them hit the
patis and the bench is clearing, and Dave Roberts telling
the Padres coach I'll talk. So we'll talk after the game,
and then the Padres going up and in on show.
Hey dude, that is I'll tell you what. That is
the best rivalry in baseball right now?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah, you know, look, I don't think that could put
it in front of Socks Yankees, because we were talking
about this the other day. You know, it's Tops Yankees,
It's and C two kids up Ohio State Michigan. But
at the end, you know, like if there is going
to be someone that overtakes it, that's how you do
It's that one. Give me some tempers flaring, give me
some high and tight balls, and that is the goal
(14:48):
now on top two to one. All right, nobody cares
about that, but Luke, we do care about you. You
got a job to do it for crossing broad dot Com.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
You're gonna go.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Run across the street. Yeah, what are you asking? Rob Thompson,
what do you want to hear? What's the deal? Oh man, listen.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I mean, I don't want to be the one, but
I got to ask him how everything's going to castle Ie.
It does seem like we are going to get a
Bryce Harper update today. So Harper did not travel to Miami.
He stayed back in Philly. He did some dry swings yesterday.
He did throw the ball for the first time yesterday.
Seems like it seemed from what we've heard that we
(15:22):
should get a pretty maybe a timeline update today as
far as that.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
That's really about it.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Though, right now, just I just really want to know,
you know what, what's going to change, because something of
their approach going against the Mets needs to change from
their last five matters.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
You know what's changing for me? What's changed my golf game?
Is it my lessons are kicking?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh, there we go, my lessons at my first sub
eighty round of the area.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
How about this? Are you ready for this?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
The shoulder, the shoulder is so important and like, yeah,
that's it's it's now I'm up.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
You know. The first step was changing my trajectory.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You were here, right, yeah, you were there, So now
I'm I'm out with the club. And then now it's
just the shoulder down.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
It's the shoulder in the club, face the shoulder.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And then this is where it is my around the
green dude, he's got me hit it, hitting it contact
every time. The logo of the glove. That's the secret there,
the secret to the sauce. Yeah is again shoulder out right, smooth,
shoulder out, boom, come through.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
But logo the glove.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So that's been my biggest change this year. Is is
the only like real iffy part of my game in
the past was my driver. It's just it was. It
was never consistent. All it was for me was a
grip change, slight grip change. My left hand goes over
so you can see the logo I am. So that's
all it is.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
It's like it's like harrowin. I'm still addicted to golf
right now, I'm taking lessons. I went to the driver,
I putt it for forty five minutes. Put it for
forty five better. Let's go, Hey, man, enjoy the game.
You the best, Luke R. Kaney once again, riadam at cross.
They brought dot Com. Fantastic job, Luke car Danny Hey,
other side, we gotta talk to some NBA Finals. We
(17:11):
got a game seven, and man, I'll tell you what.
I would give my soul for the seventy six ers
to have a player like TJ McConnell. I would give
my soul to have a guy like that on the
sixers roster.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
Uh oh wait, what's that? Oh he was he was
here before. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
He has now officially stolen the show as far as
NBA Finals is concerned. We got a game seven on Sunday.
