He spoke just as LIV Golf officially announced Brooks Koepka was the latest to sign.

With the recent demotion of Jared Eickhoff and Seranthony Dominguez most likely headed for Tommy John surgery, the Phillies pitching woes continue to impact the young season. How concerned should the front office and the fan base be with the recent struggles? Even in a win yesterday Jake Arrieta wasn't exactly sharp but got the job done. Does Kapler's handling of the staff, as a whole, exaggerate the issues more than a normal manager would? Word is Adam Morgan and Pat Neshek are nearing return which helps the bullpen but what help is coming for the starting rotation? Is a trade for a starting pitcher in the works? Who would you target? Warriors get a huge road win to force a Game 6. Kevin Durant made the decision to play for his team and in turn, tore his Achilles. Was it worth it for him? Will there still be free agent suitors for KD despite the possibility of missing a year? And all during the show Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals will be on and we will have live reactions to Game 7 in Boston. Can the Blues win a tough road game or does the home-ice advantage truly give Boston the edge?

Corey Seidman and Ricky Bottalico discuss whether Aaron Nola is back to being 2018 Aaron Nola. Jared Eickhoff is off to a great start. Is he for real? Rhys Hoskins might be in for an MVP caliber season. Any concern over Jean Segura's first slump? Will the Phillies run away with the division?
