Zack Wheeler has opted out of this year's All-Star Game to focus on rest during the break. Kevin supports this decision, believing that the time off will allow Wheeler to rejuvenate both physically and mentally after a demanding season. The Phillies are reportedly committed to being active in the trade market, aiming to acquire players with control beyond the current season. This strategy may require them to part with prospects they would prefer to keep, but the pursuit of a World Series title necessitates making sacrifices. Additionally, we reminisced about our favorite All-Star Game moments and the Home Run Derby, noting that the Derby seems to lack the excitement it once had.

Kevin Cooney discusses Harpers' surge in his return, the 76ers Summer league action in Salt Lake and Nick' Wright's terrible rankings on this edition of Philly Sports Tonight

Kevin expressed his frustration with Phillies manager Rob Thomson's lack of intensity when Bryce Harper was given pitches that were clearly balls, while Orion Kerkering received balls on pitches that should have been strikes. He feels that such moments are crucial for managers to stand up for their players and demonstrate passion. Scott Lauber joins the discussion to delve into the controversy surrounding Thomson's failure to contest the umpires' decisions, as well as to explore the latest MLB trade rumors. Additionally, Martin Frank appears on the show to offer insights into the Eagles as they prepare to kick off training camp in the coming weeks.

Kevin emphasizes the Phillies' urgent need to strengthen their bullpen and acquire a right-handed bat to enhance the team's power. He prioritizes the bullpen issue as the most pressing concern. To gain further insights, Todd Zolecki joins the discussion to share his thoughts on the Phillies' current situation. In another segment, Keith Pompey contributes to the conversation by addressing the 76ers' decision to allow Guerschon Yabuselle to depart in free agency. Kevin seeks Pompey's perspective on what fans can anticipate from the team as they aim for a more successful season following the challenges of the 2024-25 year. Mike Kern also participates in the show, engaging in discussions about both the Phillies and the 76ers. Additionally, the conversation touches on the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, which is just around the corner.

With the Phillies' game postponed due to rain, they are set to play a doubleheader on July 2nd, marking a repeat of their previous doubleheader against the Padres in 1993, famously remembered for the 4:40 AM game, a story recounted by Kevin. As NHL Free Agency unfolds, the Flyers have made some understated moves, prompting Anthony SanFillippo to join the discussion about Tyson Foerster's injury and its implications for the Flyers' offseason strategy. In the NBA, Free Agency is also in progress, but the 76ers have remained relatively quiet due to salary cap limitations. Ky Carlin joins the conversation to address the recent loss of Guerschon Yabusele to the New York Knicks, a consequence of financial constraints, and to provide insights on what to anticipate during this off-season's free agency period.

Bryce Harper is set to make his return to the Phillies after recovering from right wrist inflammation. Kevin questions the timing of Harper's comeback, pondering whether it was necessary at this juncture. He also addresses recent remarks from Max Kepler, who expressed dissatisfaction with his playing time. Kevin's concern lies in the notion that some players may prioritize their individual interests over the collective goals of the team. The NBA Free Agency period is in full swing, allowing players to sign with new teams. Reports indicate that 76ers free agent Quentin Grimes is seeking a staggering $25 million per year, a figure many consider excessive given his current value. Additionally, discussions arise regarding the Nuggets' trade of Michael Porter Jr. and the 76ers' acquisition of forward Trendon Watford. Dei Lynam joins the program to delve into the latest developments in NBA Free Agency, along with the exciting announcement that the WNBA will be establishing a presence in Philadelphia by 2030.

The Phillies are set to embark on a six-game road trip, starting with a series against the Houston Astros. Kevin emphasizes the importance of this matchup, noting that the Mets are currently struggling, having lost nine out of their last ten games, making it crucial for the Phillies to secure victories. Additionally, he offers an update on Bryce Harper's condition and would not necessarily rush him back. As the NBA Draft approaches tomorrow, the 76ers find themselves in a challenging position. Although they hold the third overall pick, the ongoing Ace Bailey situation complicates their decision-making process regarding whom to select. We examine the projected top ten picks as forecasted by NBA analysts, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding this pivotal moment for the franchise.

The Philadelphia Phillies are gearing up for a crucial weekend series against their rivals, the New York Mets. Kevin emphasizes the importance of winning this series to overcome a psychological barrier, as the team has struggled against the Mets in recent encounters. Unfortunately, they will be without Bryce Harper, who is still recovering from a wrist injury. In light of this, we will play audio from Harper's recent media session, where he discussed his rehabilitation process. The Philadelphia 76ers hold the third overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, but their choice remains uncertain following Ace Bailey's cancellation of his workout with the team. It appears that Bailey is attempting to maneuver his way to a different franchise, a situation that Kevin finds troubling. To delve deeper into the implications of the draft and the ongoing NBA Finals, Dei Lynam will join the show for an insightful discussion. Throughout the show, we reflect on the numerous players who have departed from Philadelphia only to achieve championship success in other cities. We take a moment to celebrate those athletes whose victories, while not celebrated in Philadelphia, still brought us joy and pride as fans.

Dei previews the concluding game of the Phillies versus Marlins four-game series, reflecting on the earlier controversy surrounding Nick Castellanos' benching. Having covered Allen Iverson, Dei supports the decision, emphasizing that sometimes it is necessary to hold players accountable for their actions. In addition, Dei addresses Ace Bailey's choice to forgo a workout with the 76ers ahead of the NBA Draft. She argues that Bailey should adopt a more humble approach, especially since he did not lead his team to the NCAA tournament. His aspirations for stardom in the NBA could inadvertently place undue pressure on himself. Coach Lynam joins the discussion to further analyze the Ace Bailey situation and to preview Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson made the decision to bench outfielder Nick Castellanos following inappropriate remarks made by Castellanos after he was substituted during Monday night's game for a defensive replacement. Kevin explores this minor controversy, which has sparked a variety of reactions among fans and analysts alike. As the NBA draft approaches, we also turn our attention to the 76ers, where reports indicate that Ace Bailey intends to work out exclusively for the team, confident in his status as a potential top-three pick. This development has raised concerns for Kevin, who perceives Bailey's attitude as somewhat egotistical. In addition, we reflect on the Phillies' recent loss to the Marlins, with a final score of 8-3, and share audio from Rob Thomson's post-game press conference, where he addressed the media regarding the team's performance.

Kevin expresses mild surprise at the Phillies' ability to close the gap on the Mets in the NL East Division. Despite not being in an ideal position earlier in the season, the Phillies have gained momentum after sweeping the Blue Jays and are now closely trailing the Mets. The upcoming series between these two teams is crucial for determining the division leader. In addition, we examine Otto Kemp's impressive performance since his promotion to the major leagues. His contributions have been significant enough to secure his place on the roster, raising questions about how the team will adjust when Bryce Harper returns from injury. Furthermore, we look ahead to the NBA Finals, with Game 5 scheduled for tonight, and also turn our attention to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Kevin Cooney is and breaks down a Phillies series win over the Cubs. But Kevin may still think the Phillies are in Big Trouble

Kevin opens the show by addressing the challenges facing the Phillies, particularly with Aaron Nola sidelined due to a right ribcage injury. This setback significantly impacts the team's prospects as potential trade deadline buyers. He questions whether it is worthwhile to pursue trades given the numerous gaps in the Phillies' roster. In other news, the Eagles conducted their sole mandatory minicamp today, and we feature audio from Head Coach Nick Sirianni, who addressed the media earlier. A lively discussion tonight revolved around which players' jersey numbers might be retired in Philadelphia, highlighting notable figures such as Jimmy Rollins, Brandon Graham, and Joel Embiid.

The Phillies are set to face the Pirates in their upcoming series, but they will be without Bryce Harper, for game 1 as he's been sidelined due to soreness in his right wrist. This situation has led Kevin to reflect on the incident when Harper was hit by a pitch against Atlanta, suggesting that he should have been placed on the injured list at that time. A brief period of rest could have facilitated healing for both his elbow and wrist, which have been ongoing concerns for Harper. During the show, Scott Lauber will join us to discuss Harper, along with insights on Aaron Nola and Jesus Luzardo. In the NFL, Donovan McNabb has stirred conversation by asserting that Andy Reid required more time with the Eagles, a surprising remark considering Reid's 14-season tenure in Philadelphia. As the NBA and NHL Finals unfold, we take a moment to comment on both series, which have proven to be quite engaging from the outset.

Mike Gill takes the lead as he poses a question to the audience regarding their preference between Tyrese Maxey and Tyrese Haliburton before the start of the 2024-2025 NBA season. He speculates that most 76ers fans would favor Maxey, while also reflecting on the previous season, which he describes as the worst in the franchise's history. In a subsequent segment, Jeff Kerr joins the discussion to delve into the Eagles' OTA sessions, highlighting comments made by Vic Fangio during a recent media interview. The conversation touches on when fans could expect the return of Jihaad Campbell and Nakobe Dean, both of whom are sidelined due to injuries. Additionally, we explore whether the Eagles have successfully filled any gaps left by departing players with immediate starters.

The Phillies faced a challenging series against the Brewers, resulting in a sweep that highlighted their struggles. However, it is important to recognize that the Brewers are among the elite teams in Major League Baseball. Additionally, the absence of Bryce Harper during this series created an uneven playing field. Despite the loss, there has been an excessive reaction from fans and analysts alike, prompting Brendan to address these concerns. He raises the critical question of who can enhance their defensive performance, especially in light of the Eagles losing several key players. Brendan suggests potential candidates who have the capability to elevate their game and fill the gaps left by those departures.

As June approaches, it's essential to consider potential trades that could enhance the Phillies' roster in their pursuit of a World Series title. A critical question arises: what sacrifices are you willing to make to assemble a championship-caliber team? In relation to the Phillies, we will hear from Bryce Harper regarding the hit by pitch he endured, alongside Rhys Hoskins' return to South Philadelphia. In another development, the Eagles have traded Bryce Huff to the 49ers in exchange for a mid-round draft pick. What was initially seen as a promising acquisition quickly turned sour, leading to his departure after just one season. We will also engage with Mike Kern, who will share his perspectives on both the Phillies and the NBA Finals. Additionally, we will preview the NHL Finals, where the Oilers and Panthers are set to face off in a rematch from last season's championship series.

Kevin opens the show by addressing the recent 80-game suspension of relief pitcher Jose Alvarado due to performance-enhancing drug use. This situation raises questions about how the Phillies will navigate his absence, especially given their limited options for replacement. The segment also features a replay of Scott Lauber's earlier interview with Mike Missanelli, providing further insights into the team's challenges. In other news, Nick Sirianni and the Eagles have finalized a contract extension, while Joe Douglas returns to the organization in a scouting capacity after his previous tenure with the Jets. Additionally, the ongoing Tush Push controversy is a hot topic as the owners' meetings take place this week. Meanwhile, we take a look at the NHL and NFL playoffs, both of which have progressed to the conference finals, highlighting the excitement surrounding these pivotal matchups.

We begin the show by previewing the upcoming weekend series between the Pirates and the Phillies, which Major League Baseball has dubbed Rivalry Weekend. However, it is important to note that this matchup does not truly qualify as a rivalry. In other news, the 76ers secured the third overall pick in the NBA Draft. We feature audio from Daryl Morey, who reflects on the mistakes made last season and discusses the implications for this year's draft. Additionally, we analyze the Eagles' schedule, noting that the schedule makers have not favored the team, as they face the challenge of not having any consecutive home games.

The Philadelphia 76ers have made a significant leap in the NBA Lottery, securing the 3rd overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. Kevin is curious about how the team might integrate prospects Ace Bailey or Dylan Harper if they are chosen. Additionally, he questions whether the organization will exhibit patience with the typical challenges faced by rookies, especially in a season where they aspire to compete for the NBA Championship. In a notable development, Major League Baseball has lifted the bans on Pete Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and several others, allowing them to be considered for induction into the MLB Hall of Fame. Kevin shares his perspective on this decision, and we will also hear insights from Paul Hagen, who joins us for part of the discussion.

The Flyers have dropped to the sixth pick in the upcoming draft lottery, while the 76ers are anxiously awaiting the NBA lottery next Monday, hoping to retain their top-six protected draft pick. Additionally, the conversation turns to a particularly outrageous trade proposal that would send Joel Embiid to the Lakers. As the Eagles prepare for their upcoming minicamp, we delve into potential position battles that may arise. We also feature audio from Adam Schefter, who appeared on Kincaid and Salciunas earlier in the day. In the latter part of the show, we take a look at the ongoing NBA and NHL playoffs, both of which are in their second round.

Kevin is curious about whether Philadelphia fans have altered their perceptions of their teams. While the Eagles enjoy some leniency following their Super Bowl victory, it raises the question of whether this has led to a more forgiving evaluation of all local teams. In addition, we explore NFL draft speculation, noting that the Giants are not feeling pressured to choose a quarterback, and highlight cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter's desire to contribute on both offense and defense. Furthermore, we review the Phillies' defeat against the San Francisco Giants, where they lost 11-4, with Aaron Nola delivering a subpar performance on the mound

Ray Dunne is here tonight to address a position that the Eagles should avoid selecting with their first-round pick in the NFL Draft, as it would not serve the team's interests while they aim to defend their Super Bowl title. During the second hour of the show, the Phillies are experiencing a rain delay, prompting a discussion about the gameplay that has unfolded thus far. Ray shares his disappointment with Brandon Marsh and Alec Bohm, noting that their performances this season have not met expectations. Last night, Luka Doncic returned to Dallas to compete against the Mavericks for the first time since his trade to the Lakers. We engage in a conversation about our favorite revenge games, including a special focus on memorable moments from Philadelphia athletes.
