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.
Last night, Citizens Bank Park was alive with excitement as the Phillies triumphed over the Mets with a score of 10-2. Nick Castellanos contributed significantly to the victory by hitting his eighth home run of the season, propelling the Phillies to the top of the NL East standings. In the NBA Draft, Ace Bailey appeared to be the frontrunner for the 76ers' third overall pick, but his recent decision to cancel the workout with the team has left fans speculating about their next move. This uncertainty opens up discussions about potential players to consider and the possibility of trading back in the draft to explore other options.
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.
