Yesterday the midday show was joined by Andrew Fillipponi of 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh. In his conversation with Joe and Hugh, Fillipponi mentioned that it could only take Nolan Smith and a late round pick to get T.J. Watt to Philadelphia!

J.T. Realmuto is now 34 years old and beginning to slow down. Yet he has still started the majority of the Phillies games this year when it was expected his workload would begin to get eased. The midday show is wondering why the Phillies haven't started lessening J.T.'s workload?

Ranger Suarez continues to pitch lights out! In his Sunday start only allowing 1 run and 4 hits while striking out 8 in 7 innings! With Ranger Suarez still yet to be signed to a contract extension and his contract running out of the end of the season do the Phillies not have a choice but to resign him? Or do the Phillies need to allocate their money elsewhere?

The Phillies finished off their rough week in Houston by being swept by the Astros. Dropping out of 1st place in the NL East again, and only scoring 1 run in 27 innings even with stellar pitching throughout the series. Could the problem be Rob Thomson and is his management not only running stale with the clubhouse but the fans too?

The Sixers wrapped up there 2025 draft by selecting Johni Broome in the 2nd round to join V.J. Edgecombe as a part of the Sixers draft class! One thing these two have in common are they are winners in college basketball. Is this philosophy of drafting winners a sign that the Sixers are making a culture change that we'll see as soon as next season?

Yesterday, Hugh and Kyle had blamed Joe for the Phillies drought of runs. While the drought was broken they still have only scored 1 run in 27 innings!

Which WIP host are you blaming Fritz or Giglio?

The Sixers drafted Baylor guard V.J. Edgecombe with the 3rd pick in the NBA Draft yesterday! A pick that Joe Giglio had been campaigning for weeks. It has given Joe renewed hope in what the Sixers can be next year and beyond. Did last night give you renewed hope in the Sixers too?

As Kyle Schwarber gets back to his best of his hitting ways in recent weeks and the Phillies struggling outside of him the Phillies need to lock him down now! Especially as he keeps performing the price in free agency will only keep rising higher and higher and the suitors will creep up in more and more bunches!

Yesterday, the Phillies had a chance to win the game vs the Astros bottom of the 9th 2 outs runner on. But Rob Thomson sent out Johan Rojas to go get that winning run. And, predictably Rojas struck out swinging. But who's at fault for this poor outcome the manager making the decision to send the struggling Rojas or the player for letting the manager down again?

Bryce Harper has now been out with a wrist injury for 17 days after with no set time table for his return. No one seems to know when Harper will be back or the severity of the wrist injury. Despite that the Phillies have continued their winning ways and even hold a winning record with Harper out the lineup. And, Joe believes the Phillies can keep this success up! Do you think the Phillies can sustain their success if Harper is out for a significant amount of time?

The Phillies made a statement over the weekend! Taking 2 out 3 in a series win over the Mets along with retaking 1st place in the NL East! Now that the Phillies have retaken their NL East lead and taken contending teams such as the Cubs, Dodgers and Mets are you all in on the Phillies?

The NBA Finals concluded last night with the Oklahoma City Thunder capturing their first NBA title! This now sets up the Sixers with an interesting way of going into the next season. With the Eastern Conference is now wide open due to injuries should the Sixers try to run it back and go all in with this core one more time or should the Sixers keep trying to build for the future similar to the Thunder?

Something interesting is brewing between the two young pitchers on the Phillies! Mick Abel struggled in the Phillies only loss to the Mets this weekend giving up 6 hits and 4 runs in 3 innings. Leading some to think maybe it's time to give Andrew Painter a chance. Problem is Painter hasn't seemed ready for his moment either. Which young Phillies pitcher is more poised to grab the opportunity?

The thought will be how and if Barkley can replicate that type of performance next season, and Joe Giglio is done betting against Saquon! Do you think Saquon will do it again next season?

Alec Bohm has been red hot in the month of May! Batting at a .333 average, with 6 home runs and 20 rbis!
