[Music] [Music] welcome to the show ladies and gentlemen my name is Mark faretta this is the fary show presented by my bookie mybookie.ag it's just wonderful to have you along for uh we had a fantasy football draft over the weekend uh when I say my I mean it's my brother's League I'm in it and there you go uh they they're funny guys they're hilarious dudes just my brother is Friends a couple my my one cousins in the the league it's great um whenever I'd go up to make a pick they would play the theme song to my show that's how that's that's the type of group guys we're we're dealing with and I forgot to mention that yesterday but here I am mentioning it now uh now let's get into the real thing now here's what we got to talk about today we have the Philadelphia Phillies coming back after a disastrous horrific awful no good very bad start by Tyler Phillips yesterday Kyle schwarber hits three home runs to fuel the Phillies comeback against that's the the play that next the Toronto Blue Jays they come back and they win the game 10 to nine in dramatic fashion with Kyle schwarber hitting his third home the here's what's amazing about yesterday's game there's two things that just are incredible in the positive way of things okay number one k schwarber's three home runs also in that a subse to it KY schwarber gave the Phillies the lead in the first inning and gave the Phillies the lead for the last time the only two leads they had courtesy and Kyle schwarber gave him in the first inning gave it to him in the ninth inning can't remember the last time i' seen something like that but he did it yesterday in Toronto that was great uh the other thing that was great was Cody Clemens coming off the bench yesterday in the seventh inning he goes down 02 he would get two at bats he goes down 02 in both of them one of them he works into an 11 pitch at bat the first one of the seventh inning that he then gets an RBI on on bringing a a run home from third base on little dribbler down the third Baseline that I thought would maybe had a chance to leak in there into the Outfield right uh it did not but 11 pitch at bat after being down 02 he fou off six pitches then in the ninth inning he was he went down 02 again and worked a seven pitch at bat and then got a double putting Runners on second and third for Kyle schwar Barian to drive in with his game winning three run home run that all the things suck out to me yesterday those are the two B big things about those just individual players and then after that oh my goodness gracious the bullpen if your starting pitcher is it going to make it out of the first inning if your starting pitcher needs 36 pitches to record two outs in the first inning before he's taken out of the game to give way to the bullpen if he allows six runs on eight hits including two home runs you're going to need a good B pen game you got a great Bullpen game yesterday and tywon Walker allowed two runs on a home run Vlad Guerrero I don't know if you guys are aware of this but if people if if your name is Vlad Guerrero you hit baseballs really hard that's the that's how that goes in that family okay uh and tywell Walker gave up a home run to Vladimir Guerrero Jr and that was that uh then Matt Str gave up a home run but other than those two rather large mistakes that were made Philly's Bullpen was unbelievable we'll go through the whole thing uh so we got talk about they play again at 307 today so don't forget to just blow out of work early and go watch that game uh and then your Surly will'll have the postcast on lockon Sports Philadelphia uh yeah that's all I want down yesterday and then the Eagles uh are starting their season on Friday night against Green Bay Packers and I am very much done with the like it's Wednesday okay we got one more day after today of just like the talk okay and and then we can talk about the actual game going on between the Packers and the Eagles to start the 2024 campaign that we all hope uh rather abruptly puts any concerns any carryover from last year's horrible ending puts that behind us puts that in the rearview mirror I know some people might go into the season think Ah that's last year nobody deal but it scarred me I would say I feel scarred right now so uh a couple more things came out of the locker room though this week that I found really interesting one was Vic fangio's press conference where he talked about when he was asked hey what are you looking forward to learning about your team and he said how good we are it's a great oh big fio phenomenal and then quenan Mitchell is exactly what you want a first round pick to be in terms of the despite the fact that he wasn't even a top 15 pick right he's coming on the field he's having an impact as the nickel God forbid you call it corner with Nick fangio as the nickel corner for your Philadelphia Eagles says the nickel he's essentially a starter and he got asked a question about why he feels ready for this moment why he's so confident uh and then they turn to his man Darius Slay Slay and they asked him the question about what makes you think that quenan Mitchell is ready to go is he ready to go is he ready for this responsibility and Darius slay's answer is every bit of the Darius Slay answer that you would want bullets here from Darius Slay if you haven't heard it already uh also cha Garner Johnson I'm so I'm I love that cha Garner Johnson is back here in Philadelphia I I I know he said some pretty nasty stuff about philadelphians right but uh he loves it here he really does and it's unfortunate that the Eagles even though this is a home game it is unfortunate that the Eagles don't get to really open up at home chy G Johnson would love to be out there in the link play in this game Darius Slay talked about how he'd love for Quon Mitchell to get his experience at L Financial Field for his first NFL game but it's just not it's just this just not gonna be the case I I heard try Garner Johnson though get emotional not emotional sentimental about putting on that Eagles uniform again he was actually a great question uh by Dave KYW News Radio uh about what it's like to put on that Eagles jersey again and get out there on the field to play in a game yet again and I didn't expect this answer from CJ GJ from johy gar Johnson from CD Deuce uh but he actually got a little sentimental about it so we'll let you hear from him coming up in a little bit but let's start it off with your Philadelphia filies when I settled in to do the postcast after last night's game I uh I had this thought go through my head and it's the best way to describe it Seinfeld used to have a line Jerry Seinfeld used to have this line about um witnessing a car accident and it was like I don't know have an officer I was thrown from the wreckage and I don't know what happened after that when I sat down in this chair to do the post last night I felt like I was thrown from the wreckage and I had no idea what happened other than I know schwarber hit three home runs the bullpen was great Cody Clemens had some great at Passat but other than that it was like okay the Phillies uh they had an RBI infield single bringing home ad Mundo Sosa from second base Johan roas and a little bit of Brandon Marsh had no idea how that Outfield navigated in Toronto at Rogers Center that's basically like playing on a on a rubber field uh there were multiple errors or misplays really because nothing's an error anymore that's my basement ceiling right there I don't know why that's going on uh using the new camera setup here there we go all right don't know why that's weird anyway that was my basement ceiling hope you enjoyed holy stoly they G be hey there's me again dude this is fun we're all having fun with technology all right um so I'm watching this game last night it's all on F right the Phillies are scoring on some misplays there by the Toronto Blue Jays and everything's just going absolutely Bonkers and I gotta be honest with you even after the first inning I felt like this was going to be a win I I I I never felt like the Phillies were gonna lose this game the only time that I'm like uh maybe they don't have the magic tonight the only time that I actually had a little bit of Doubt just a little bit of Doubt was in the eighth inning the Phillies are down 8 to seven at that point so they've made it only a one Run game Bryce Harper leads off with a single Weston Wilson works the walk it's first and second nobody out and then Bryson stot hits a seed to second base that I originally thought was snared out of the air it was not I think it was Wagner got it on the one hop and then they got a double play they got the 463 double play from that and Bryce Harper was able to advance the third but I thought that was the only instance where the Phillies had and stot hit the ball on the screws man he hit it on the screws off Cabrera um that was the only time after that ball was turned into a double play that I thought maybe they don't have the magic tonight they felt like that was going to be it if they were going to do it that was going to be it but then real mut worked a walk and then Marsh grounded out to second to end that and you're looking at you're like hold on a second you're gonna get you're gonna get Kyle schwarber up on this you're GNA get Kyle schwarber up at the plate again so it's it's not really over until Kyle steps up to that plate again that's when it'll be over and that set the scene for the ninth inning but let's start it off in the first uh boy oh boy Kyle schwarber leads It Off Third pitch of the game lead off home run 396 feet to right field Phillies are up one- nothing they make it for bass at a 21 F 21 pitch first inning all right pretty good all right Tyler Phillips you get the ball in the bottom of the first inning let's see what you got kiddo uh I went back and I looked at Tyler Phillips starts in the minor leagues since he's been sent back down there and they're not great they're not great but you never know hey maybe they told they work on this pitch work on that you make that the focus not necessarily the ra the Run score whatever make this the focus we want to get you better for the America for the for coming back to to the big leagues okay um yeah no he carried that right back into the big leagues um I think he allowed nine runs in his last two starts in the in the um miners he took off right where he left off in the big leagues Springer gets a single on an 02 pitch varo hits the home run on a 3-2 curveball 427 ft you're down two nothing uh Guero sets up he gets a he gets a hit Horwitz goes up there he gets a double Wagner gets the RBI ground out with with Guerrero scoring Kirk goes up there he gets an RBI single to Center that bounced away from Johan roas all of a sudden Big Bang Boom you went from up one nothing you're down four to one but wait there's more Barger goes up there he gets a two run home run on a change up 364 feet to right field now you're down six to one cl goes up there he gets a single a blooper to right field uh L profito goes up there he gets he Strikes Out actually so that was good that was a second out spur Springer then goes up there he gets a single to right field Phillips out banks in Bank strikes out varo on three pitches when the dust settled it was 6 to one in favor of the Toronto Blue Jays the Phillies would start a little bit of a comeback there they get an RBI up from casianos in the third inning St gets an RBI double it's now 61 game to a 63 game okay we're inched back into it schwarber steps up in the fourth in schwarber gets a home run to right field on a slider first pitch slider 361 feet four game oh my goodness are we coming back are we G to see this happen six inning rolls around Guerrero gets the Home Run 405 ft to left center field off Taiwan Walker Taiwan Walker came into the game he had a one two three fourth inning what yeah one two three fourth inning Walker comes into the fifth inning uh he goes single out single and then gets a double play okay Ty Walker two scoreless innings thank you very much for coming out tonight nice to see you you didn't actually think that Rob Thompson was just gonna let him pitch two innings right I I knew I knew he was at least going well if if he had two good Innings he was going to get a third third inning and he did get the third inning that's when he gave up the home run to Guerrero it was 8 to four I'm like no Philly still got this I'm not going to give up they got this and then in the top of the seventh inning they bring in pop out of the bullpen casano steps up gets hit by the pitch later had exit the game got drilled right in the Cal and I know I think it was either tmac or Ruben Marl junr said it during the broadcast I I I I didn't think that ball hit him as bad as it did I don't know what it was but I thought um it bounced up the catcher M or something it did not it drilled him right in the left calf so he takes his base stock goes up there gets a double you got second and third with nobody out real Muto strikes out like I said before it was a weird game the weirdest thing about last night game last night's game was home played umpire Shawn Barber's Strike Zone if you didn't watch the game it was it was the most erratic Strike Zone I have seen this season not even close like nothing else jumps to mind as crazy as this was pitches that were at the shoulders were strikes sometimes pitches at the shoelaces were strikes sometimes it was pretty it was a pretty long strike zone the reason I bring it up right now is that with a runner on F runner on second and third and nobody out and the Phillies down 8 to four at this point uh I thought uh that they were going to need every opportunity they got and this was going to be an opportunity for them to really break back into this game real Muto strikes out with a runner on second and third with nobody out because I think it was the second Pitch of the abat was called a strike at his shoelaces so now he's got to flail away gets another pitch down there flails away at it later strikes out so that kind of changed the whole complexion of the at that so pop then gets taken out of the game they bring in swansson Marsh goes up there Works a walk at the base is loaded with one out and Mundo Sosa draws a walk with one out pop is Swanson's not finding his location it's an 8 to five ball game now they then take outc me then Clemens comes out Off the Bench that's when he worked that 11 pitch at bat started out 02 then later gets a 2-2 uh fast ball and he puts it down the third Bas line it's smothered a run comes home in the basis loaded situation and now it's an 8 to six game uh in that bat Cody Clemens fou away six pitches they then take out swats and they bring in Cabrera Lefty to face Kyle schwarber Kyle schwarber then rips a RBI infield single Vlad Guerrero Jr Dives to his right Smothers it goes to come up with it the ball pops out of his hand starts dribbling over to the second base uh that's when amundo Sosa rounds the third and scores from second on an infield single Trey Turner would then put oh man he put a charge into one deep left field uh but it wasn't deep enough they come down with the catch that was a third out of the inning but it was all said and done when I was thrown from the wreckage it was 8 to7 still in favor of the Toronto Blue Jays I'm thinking the Phillies are just going to keep on keeping on uh Ruiz comes in there handles his business there in the seventh inning kirking comes out there in the eighth inning handles his business gives up a double to Guerrero with two outs but think gets Horwitz to ground out to Bry St at second I mentioned already in the top of that inning Harper and Wilson leted off by getting on base first and second nobody out stops double play Ruto walks Marsh grounds out the second and then in the ninth inning no knowing that Kyle schwarber was going to be coming up in this game in the ninth inning I just felt like they were going to win I honestly didn't think it'd be a home run I thought schwarber would get a two-run single and then all of a sudden he'd be tied and we'd have some extra extra innings uh but no that's not the should be an RBI single and then You' you know be tied up and you go in the Extra Innings but that's not what Cal sharber had in mind they bring in their closes of green out of the bullpen um Sosa goes up there gets a single to center field Cody Clemens after a seven pitch at bat and being down 02 drills the double and then Kyle schwarber man possessed talk about Cody Clemens having great at bats Kyle schwarber's best at bat of the game came in the ninth inning because like Cody Clemens he goes down 02 and works a nine pitched bat and finally gets a onew fast ball down in the zone that he demolished 426 feet to right field and one of the amazing things about it the call from Tom McCarthy I would say Tom McCarthy doesn't like to jump the gun when it comes to home run calls I mean this you might say two 426 feet obviously that's gone but Tom McCarthy goes 0o to 110 in a split second knew it from contact schwarber knew it from contact the dug Dugout knew it from contact watching the game at home looking at Kyle schwarber's body language you knew it from contact listening to the inflection change in Tom mccarley's voice you absolutely knew it three run home run Phillies go down Phillies go from down 8 to7 to up 10 to8 just like that for Kyle scher's third home run of the game they just had that magic last night baby they just had that magic uh Matt strong would give up a home run in the bottom of the 9th Inning but that was that Phillies win 10 to nine the Phillies have won three in a row and looking at last night uh I mention how great the lineup is look at the top uh top three names in this lineup schwarber Turner Harper schwarber five for six last night Turner three for six Harper two for six and I wouldn't be shocked if Bryce Harper got the day off today after the Phillies have to play game two of this two game series at 307 today Harper even though again he got two hits his last at bat was shaky and dropped the bat on his last strikeout how many did he have last night two strikeouts last two strikeouts yeah uh dropped the bat I don't know if he was in pain he's been talking he talked about his elbow he talked about his wrist how he's got problems right there that they're nagging injuries and whatever I know he doesn't like to take days off maybe this will be an opportunity maybe this will be a day that they decide yeah you're going to take off today the only thing is you already have B who's not progressing the way they want him to progress so he's he's not playing Nick casianos got hit in the calf he doesn't like to miss games he might miss the game like I said he was taken out of the game last night you ended the game with going left to right you had Weston Wilson in left field Marson Center and then in right field you had Cody Clemens wrap up the game for you in right field not ideal not ideal but when Kyle schwarer is driving in like you know six RBI hitting three home runs your offense is kind of Set uh but that's that went so I don't know what's going to happen with Harper today he might get the day off but there was some concern obviously as the game went on today but Kyle schwarber obviously the hero of the night and there was a stat I saw last night on uh NBC Sports Philadelphia listen to this uh total bases in a game Philly's history uh since 1906 Mike Schmidt 17 total bases and that was in the that was in that wild Cubs game in 1976 Chuck Klein had 16 against the Pirates in 1936 Kyle schwarber 15 yesterday and then he had 14 against the LA Dodgers uh less than a month ago this is Kyle schwarber's third three excuse me second three-run home this is Kyle schwarber's second thre Homer game in less than a month his last one came against the LA Dodgers back on the 7th and you know who started that game Tyler Phillips do you know what Tyler Phillips had to say after this game after allowing six runs in the first inning he said Kyle schwarber likes to hit home runs when I pitch fair enough Tyler Phillips also said he no he didn't know what he did wrong he said he wish he could tell you but he had no idea I felt so bad for the dude because he was just like looking for answers but was so dumbfounded about what happened other than the office of you're not pitching in Triple A anymore that's what happened you still faced a big league lineup uh even though some of those home runs not exactly uh guys that are notorious for hitting the long Ball B you know what I mean anyway uh that's what went down last night north of the Border in Toronto with your Phillies now the Dodgers won last night so not a lot of changes there but there was one particular thing that did stick out in last night's game that is a little piece of History Jason Stark Hall of Fame baseball writer of course you know him you love him Philadelphia's own Jason Stark put this out there after Cody Clemens got the RBI in the 11 pitch bat um this is insane RB's by Phillies pinch hitters this season spoiler it ain't great in England the Phillies had One RBI from a pinch hitter okay cool in Canada in one game played in Canada the Phillies from a pinch hitter got One RBI in the United States of America where I don't know if you guys are aware of this the Phillies play a huge majority of their games all but three so far one AR one run batted in by a pinch hitter pinch hitting has not been the Phillies strong suit this season to say the absolute least I literally galled I laughed very hard at this tweet post by Jason star that is pretty insane that's pretty insane uh Phillies 307 today uh Christopher Sanchez gets the start uh for the Phillies one last thing I do want to point out I mentioned the bullpen already this is just how great they were yesterday look at this Tyler Phillips two thirs six runs eight in eight hits 36 pitches two home runs then for the rest of the game if you're telling me you're going to only allow using if you had to go to your Bullpen with one out to go in the first inning and that Bullpen only allows three runs for eight and a third Innings of work I feel pretty good about that that just like if I told you a guy went out there and gave you a complete game and allowed only three runs I'm feeling pretty good about that mix in the fact that the lineup came through that Kyle schwarber came through that the philes took advantage just about of every single bounce they could take advantage of in this game you're feeling pretty good uh from Tanner Phillips all the way down there to matrom guys did their job even tywan Walker gave up two runs giving you three Innings two runs I'm taking that from Taiwan Walker especially in a game like this thank you Taiwan Walker thank you that was Phillies again 307 start time today h you're Philadelphia Eagles as we get closer and closer to the season I'm just getting more excited about what's going to happen this year and I got such huge expectations and I've told you guys before this is a no excuse season when it comes to Jaylen hers uh he needs a second year in the offense to really understand it well uh according to everything in training camp um not so much according to everything from his coaches not so much according to everything that Jaylen Herz said two months ago to everything that he had said now he is pretty comfortable in this offense now again we're not going to know it all of it it could just go out the window when the Eagles actually kick off in an actual game that matters with their starting quarterback with their center with their offensive coordinator could all go out the window in Brazil very quick against a very aggressive uh Green Bay Packers defense at least that's what the they know cuz we don't know what they're going to bring to the table either because we've we haven't seen the 2024 Green Bay Packers either uh but uh when I look at this game I just I expect great things and some might say it's unrealistic to expect anything like that even like a 30 to 17 win or a 30 to 25 win or something crazy like that uh I I'm I'm all for it there are no excuses when it comes to jayen Herz this year there are no excuses when it comes to this overall offense you're bringing in somebody with the experience of a Kell Moore with the success of a Kell Moore of having a number one ranked offense and you're giving him this embarrassment of riches you have on offense and the skilled positions I'll reiterate many times the the one concern that I feel is legit is What's it gonna be like with Cam Jurgens and jayen Herz what's that communication like cam juren spoke at his locker yesterday two days ago excuse me about uh Jaylen Herz actually being able to help him when it comes to shifting protection or picking up a blitz or anything like that found that interesting because that shows me that I think cam jens's kind of at least at the college level has certainly looked at things diagnosed it now at the professional level has learned from Jason Kelce of how to look at things how to diagnose it how to ship protection and now he has Jaylen Herz taking that step up whether it's calling wink marale last year or it's having Kell Morris as offensive coordinator and not just that because he certainly had offensive coordinators before he's never had an offensive coordinator like Kell Moore that has had the power over the offense had control over the offense been in charge of the offense and finally as of yesterday admittedly by Nick serani he's not nearly as much part of the game plan he pops in to that meeting the game plan meeting fascinating uh so I don't look at this as really having any excuses Eagles yeah sure they're going to have things to iron out but um those are the things that I think are going to stink but a strong deodorant is going to be a 40-yard touchdown pass to AJ Brown uh a 20 yard game with a reception by saquon Barkley that he picks up around the two yard line takes it another 18 or excuse me two two yards uh from scrimmage takes another 18 like that to me I think will be nice deodorant to things that maybe didn't look as organized as it should throughout the game Vic vanu is obviously very excited for his defense as he said and I told you earlier he's just excited to see how good they are what are you looking forward to fting out about your team how good we are great answer and quen quenan Mitchell how much of an impact is this rookie nickel and rookie Corner gonna have he was asked about uh how ready he feels for his NFL debut in Brazil coming in as a first round pick a rookie how do you feel where's your confidence at are you ready for this big moment quenan Mitchell what you know I feel really ready you know uh I feel like I'm preparing myself in the close to PR me so I feel really good how challenging is it you know playing inside and outside how challenging is it for you to First learn it and now to be able to be ride upon and do both uh yeah I mean it was challenges at first but I feel like I got down pack now so I just ready to go out and perform ready to play ready to perform ready to do his thing that's good that's nice uh how about teammate Darius Slay do you feel like the Young rookie the guy that said he wants to move in with you the guy that says he's admir you throughout his career the guy that said he has really shaped his game the way around your career and your skill set modeled his game after it one of the guys he looks up to Darius Slay is the young bull ready what did you see this [Music] summer came ready ready came out Mama He's already destined for it so uh this a great opportunity man for him definitely um load at his first game it could be experienced in the link you know saying because it's a home game you know saying but it going be experienced in Brazil but we going have a good time with it has anyone described you ever as ready since you came out your mama hases anyone ever said that about you I'm just curious let me know in the comments the next time you and your significant other are getting ready to leave the house right right and uh you're you're far ahead in the who's ready to leave plan and they they while they're frantic you know they in a rush while they're frantic and be like oh are you ready I want you to say I've been ready since since I came out my mama I've been ready since since I came out my mama and then just gauge their response just workk it in let me know on social media how that works out for you you ready to go I've been ready since I came out my mama what because I don't feel like anyone else in the universe could pull off that line like Darius Slay Slay can pull off that line I really reason I listen to these people the obvious is it gives you a window in how they think right um but the other thing is sometimes it's not necessarily dry snitching or anything like that but they can kind of give you information uh how they answer one question question versus how they answer another and you can apply it later in the season even and one of the things that really jumps out to me about quenan Mitchell is the the position he is playing uh he's playing nickel and he's also going to be playing on the outside as well the interesting thing that I find about this is that when Vic fangio was talking about the difficulty in playing the nickel Corner position Vic fangio was talking about how you got to be physical you have to have a little bit of everything a little bit of a safety you have to have a little bit of a corner obviously have to have speed that physical Factor go along with it as well and he wasn't even talking about that with quenon Mitchell but he's talking about that with James Bradberry about bouncing around going from outside uh to playing a little bit of nickel like he did last year and then going to play the safety position but what Vic fio was talking about is the difficulty in doing it so he's just described the nickel Corner position and the What It Takes uh for for for an athlete to play that and he talked about a seasoned veteran in James Bradbery how you know a tall order in front of him how about quenan Mitchell a rookie going in there and playing the nickel Corner position and playing it so well that avonte Maddox who is wildly experienced at the position and his biggest fault in his career hasn't necessarily been Talent as much as it has been uh injury no no no valte you're a safety now qu Mitchell is gonna be playing that nickel Corner position key Ringo hell of a year last year on the outside can play on the inside as well Eli Ricks played on the inside against Tyreek Hill Tyreek Hill nonf Factor you know who the Eagles are going with first round pick quen Yan Mitchell if that isn't a confidence booster I don't know what is if that's not ready since he been out his mama I I don't know how else you could better describe it than that that's Shakespeare that's right to the point thank you there is sight I am thrilled and just so excited for this game on Friday night uh I I it feels like you're watching a brand new team there's a lot of the same faces but it feels like a brand new team and I know Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelce aren't here you still have Brandon Graham you obviously know your offense very well from tight end to two or your three receivers of course your quarterback most of this offensive line even though maai beckon is going to be what the the the biggest guard ever insane uh I know there's a lot of different stuff but there's enough familiarity I think with these guys offensively and defensively will they'll be able to get into high gear defense still is a bigger concern for me because you have more new faces on that defense but you brought back a familiar face in Chanty gner Johnson and one of the things that I I would love to see the Eagles jump out to is getting turnovers and giving this offense more opportunities to thrive and one of the things that really sticks out to me I know people just want to talk about how he runs his mouth and all that stuff but johy Gardner Johnson was a extremely aggressive safety for the Eagles two seasons ago uh he went out there picked off six passes uh was tied I think it was a four-way tie for interception leader in the NFL the year he was here with six also Jonathan Ganon wasn't afraid to put him in the back field bring him down in the box and he's going to be asked to do a lot of the same stuff here with Vic fangio as well I am beyond excited to have him patrolling the secondary for this Eagles team Reed blanket ship I think is a good safety and I think uh in this defense he's going to be called upon to be a great communicator for all the switching that needs to happen for all the communication that needs to happen between corner and safety he can also play the aggressive role he's not afraid to hit anybody uh but I look at the safety unit and I think these guys are going to have a tall order and a big Fano defense as most safeties do but listening to Charon Garner Johnson not just talk about his excitement to play in this defense and his excitement to play with his teammates and just start the season charant gner Johnson was asked specifically about his emotions putting on that Eagles jersey and although it's s Paulo going out there and actually representing the Eagles once again what does it mean to him with the Lions last year uh to be honest which you feel good I mean it's like a family reunion so I mean go out there to be hon we CH want to get the fans a nice show we out in Brazil know Philly fans going to love it regardless win win or lose a draw it doesn't matter but going to Brazil put on a a jersey that I put on two years ago to go to Super Bowl going be one uh I did not expect I did not expect family reunion from chy Garner Johnson and how about the way he's sit in the bar first off Eagles fans enjoy it no matter what n they might enjoy a trip people that are down there but they they're really going to enjoy it if you win uh and then they'll have a angry flight home if you lose but uh setting the bar high for a defense that a lot of people are skeptical about uh look Vic fangio's name I feel has been dragged through the mud over the last couple of years because as I said at the time they hired Vic fangio we've seen the Vic fangio cover band for three seasons and in one of those seasons went to the Super Bowl and one of those Seasons they had a 70 sack season one of those seasons was phenomenal but that was still Jonathan ganon's version of the Vic fangio defense and then maybe dragging Vic fangio's name through the mud even more he worked with the Eagles for two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl where eventually uh they got torched in the second half against the Kansas City Chiefs and yeah uh James Bradbery holding call would have changed everything um it's it's it's a wild thing to think about when you go back over the history of it like that but now they got the real deal Vic fangio now they got Vic fangio running the Vic fangio defense now the cover band is gone and the original Act is in the Real ACT is in I love what I'm hearing from Vic fangio I love what what I'm hearing from the players about Vic fangio and just in the film you watch in training camp film is probably too technical the video you watch from training camp uh listen to The Players really break it down how excited they are I just get the feeling we're on the verge of a really special season and all the issues that the Eagles had last year they addressed this year and one of the things that really is insane to me and I was listening to Jeff Saturday talk about it and I it really jumped out to me because we we've done this a lot in this offseason we've talked about how great the leadership was last year with Jason Kelsey and Fletcher Cox and I'm not putting every everything on them for why things really were terrible last year but this Eagles team is going to Rally around one another if they think this new for lack of a better term this new process is gonna work of having Vic fangio in charge of their defense and having Kell Mora charge of your offense and Nick xani taking another hit to his responsibility and just being the uh what have I been describing the the guidance counselor of the team making sure everybody's good and char g Johnson in that same interview did talk about Nick serani and he did offer a lot of praise to Nick serani and saying how we ride with Nick okay good the nick his message or whatever Jaylen Jaylen Herz was talking about two months ago his message is still good to this team and it's still resonating with this team good great grand but overall uh the proof's going to be in the pudding over how much impact Kell Moore how much positive in Impact Kell Moore is goingon to have over his offense and how much positive impact Vic bangio is going to have against or with his defense I'm expecting big things from jump if the Eagles in the past could take an inexperienced offensive coordinator chint Sten and have that much that much success if the Eagles of the past could take that much um from inexperienced defense coordinators as Jonathan Ganon or even as Shawn Desa and they could have as much success even getting out to 10in one starts in two straight Seasons what can they do with experienced coordinators this year the most experienced that Jaylen Herz has ever had the most experienced that uh Jordan Davis and Jaylen Carter have had that's saying something will the pre proof be in that pudding certainly hope so when it comes to the Green Bay Packers game on Friday night when they start their season can't wait for it to get underway uh don't forget Yours Truly Seth jiner Derek gun we'll be giving you your pre- and postgame coverage each and every game day from Parks Casino with the BET Parks pre and postgame shows

yesterday officially starting kindergarten yesterday um as a as a parent right I was okay I handled it as I told you guys yesterday I would be okay if she was okay she was okay up until she got on the bus and then uh I was holding our son because you know the bus stops at a corner so you can't have a two and a halfy old just running around willy-nilly so I'm holding him my wife walks her to the bus she goes gets on the bus fine she go she goes to sit down and then she turns around some tears in the eyes hugs her mother hugs my wife and then the bus driver's like she'll be okay and then she goes down she sits down and she went to school and then she had a wonderful time at school and she didn't want to come home uh but I'll tell you what really got me this is what this is what got me so they were going my son and my daughter were going to the same little uh uh preschool the back of the preschool is where the bigger kids are and my son always would run back there to be with his sister now my son in the new school year his his classroom is back there with the bigger kids he he wouldn't go back there because he he watched his sister get on a bus and go somewhere else and seeing him have his reaction to his older sister not being there anymore oh baby oh it wasn't Niagara Falls oh but it was close to Niagara Falls oh this parent stuff messes with you man like I I realized that like everything that they people told you about being a parent oh man you got to go through it it's insane it's one hell of a roller coaster it's one hell of a roller coaster that was a that was an insane day yesterday that was an insane day uh but yeah she didn't want to come home from school and Leo was great too at his school he was great and when we got home they were all great everything was great it ended well it ended well uh but yeah that's what went down with Luts and I don't even have a nickname for Leo uh future left tackle my son can move mountains man he's a beast anyway uh let's get

thanks I paid attention Sean K what's up Sean philes won eight of 10 after incredible Kyle schwarber ninth inning comeback tonight winning last night winning 10 tonight hell yeah Sean K andh how about this uh the Cubs lost yesterday the Cubs were the hottest team in baseball the only team that had won eight of their last 10 games the Phillies had won seven of their last 10 games Big Bang Boom ibh good morning everyone thank goodness for schwar Barian hell's yeah ibh TBO still keeping it tight and sexy with three bomb schwar bomb nights thought it was keep it loose and sexy uh Sean Gillespie what's going on still keeping it loose and ah there you go sh T bro April hello April good morning ring the bell I again I just never felt like it was going to be a loss I I like come on I was like hold on a second don't give me a let down game after you win in dramatic fashion against the uh the Braves you win three games of four against the Braves don't give me a let down don't you dare give me a let down game Phillies and they did not let me down Tampa Eagle I am very concerned about Taiwan Walker you should not be on the playoff roster go Phils from Tampa uh I don't I don't think well if he pitches well out of the bullpen he's definitely going to be on the like I think he's going to be on the playoff roster anyway but here's the thing you didn't even lose him use him last year in the playoffs but you never know he can need a long reliever you never know if you could need a um um another starting pitch God forbid hey look I've told you what I want the Phillies to do is shut them down what the Phillies should do is shut them down $18 million next year and the following year and you're using them out of the bullpen now if you really want to save either save face or I think get the best possible version of Taiwan Walker you shut him down and you say all right dude look you've had two separate is this year and when you have pitched you just haven't been able to put it together let's hit the reset on this and we'll revisit this next year that's how you handle it but hey look Dave dski has been one hell of a baseball man throughout his throughout his career maybe his hunch on Taiwan Walker is a good one maybe he feels like all right we'll just limit his workload all right see how that goes for you April anyone else almost throw something their TV when they said Walker was warming up yes I know Hest I was like well look uh can the Phillies really have two guys that allow six runs in one game is is that even possible but he actually did two scoreless and then the third one wasn't so great uh April that Strike Zone was nuts players were so annoyed JT real Muto uh Basset was hilarious in the third inning I think it was Shawn Barber called a ball that was a strike yeah called a pitch the ball that was a strike and Tyler Bas just like turned around like shook his head like that I forget who the Umpire was in Pittsburgh last night but he Paul SK was pitching against the Cubs and SK thought he he threw a ball that was a strike it was a it was a ball and it like yeah I didn't even think it was close to the outside corner but SK threw a strike three for the third out in his mind and started walking off the mound and a home played umpire started yelling at him and I was like dude relax all right just get back there and squat you called it a ball you win it was a ball he made the right call SK I don't know what he was looking at but that was that uh and then it started it turn this whole thing where they're yelling at the The Dugout just unnecessary uh April the pitcher knew it from contact his face dropped immediately the schwarber Home Run yeah that wasn't great that wasn't great I think it was yeah it was Green in there it was Green in there at the time who gave up the three-run schwar Baran home run can't believe I missed it last night um the opportunity to give my normal Lou Brown yeah Green yeah I was right it was Green come on yeah Green was in there and then there's one more thing I wanted to check Green's got 16 saves on the season yeah that's a shame that's a shame James Alexander good morning what a heck of a comeback just need to keep the Sixers in this so from what I I haven't read the whole thing so I don't I'm not commenting any further but from what it sounds like Comcast spectacor has a lot to lose here okay Flyers essentially have a lot to lose here but Comcast spectacor would lose an NBA team in their Arena and the reason the Sixers want to build the new arena is because they want to own the property they rent their property essentially they're tenants of Comcast spectacor who owns the Flyers see how that works in case you didn't know that already most people know that um so now it appears that Comcast spectacor is now putting a bid into the city to build something other than 76th Place in place of the Arena love it oh this is going to be a spicy meatball this is going to be awesome uh and that's what James is referencing but the Sixers I don't think they're going to C I don't look in all honesty it wouldn't shock me if they eventually move to cam it would not Shock Me U that would suck uh just because I as parochial as a city as we are having a team play across the river I like a lot of people that I know are you know people that cross the river they wait a second to tell you that they cross the river but they they cross the river and they go over to Jersey which is fine I don't know just saying but as parochial a city as Philadelphia is they would hate the idea of the Philadelphia Fillin the blank playing in Jersey that make a lot of people's blood boil a lot of people's blood boil not great not great but yeah I don't think that's happening I think it's happening ibh it's really impossible to believe that Major League Baseball is not watching the same thing we are with the strike zone it's so bad and it almost looks intentional uh I mentioned this on the postcast last night but I think it came from Joe West totally non-bias Joe West Cowboy Joe West talked about how the the the the robo umps are only like 94% accurate I really need to know what that means like are they 94% accurate in that every one CE in a while they'll call a pitch over the batter's head a strike or are they 95% or 94% accurate with like an inch in and out of the strike zone because here's what I need accuracy is obviously King however right under that is consistency because no umpire is 100% consistent or 100% accurate but if you could give me consistency you can give a a batter consistency then that's something they can work with then they at least know what the strike zone is fary can't bench the bar fary you ain't no schwarber on the bar that's true this is true especially because my shoulder started hurting so I haven't been you know doing the bench press as much uh looking a little weak it's a baggy shirt thank you very much hide my swollenness like Ty Will Walker giving up two-run Dinger to Vlad Guerrero all right don't call him Darius fary that's why I call him that's why I always say Darius slight sight real rmp two more days until Brazil Bowl all right really hope we just get Arena oh James Alexander I really hope that we just get uh the arena down town moving the Sixers out of the city would be a disaster uh if you had your choice the Sixers moving out of the city or the Sixers moving to Center City what would you want hey look I've told you guys before when it comes to a Downtown Arena I am all for a Downtown Arena I would love to have a Downtown Arena my bigger question is whether or not the city of Philadelphia will be ready for a Down Town Arena and what that means that's what I that's my bigger concern but if you're asking me if I would love to put uh a an arena in Center City with 20,000 people coming in and out of the city uh with 20,000 people having the option to maybe stay overnight in the city 20,000 people going out to eat in the city 20,000 people spending money in the city I love that give me that economic development in a postco Philadelphia will the city be ready for it fary what's going on with your mic is the mic weird I know the sound viice sounded weird that sounded about weird in my headset is the mic weird too sounds great to me but what the hell do I know uh South Jersey D what's going on South Jersey D soon to be the South Jersey Sixers oh that's got a nice ring to it no just kidding uh April proud of little toots that's awesome thank you April I'll pass that along congrats Little Tots hang in there Dad it's a long road oh you ain't kidding ibh it sounds like I'm talking to a speaker phone in the bathroom that all my buttons pushed uh see here yeah I'm not going to mess with that all why
