Tek & Prem are joined on the VetLine by Breland Moore of Fox 29 Philadelphia to recap the Eagles incoming Draft Picks and talk Phils. Another solid group of young players are set to join the roster, in what amounts to a run to repeat as Super Bowl Champions. The road is never easy while attempting that task, historically. The Birds' defense recieved a boost of young talent and the offense remains largely in tact as we head into training camp. Howie may make additional moves and we discuss those possibilities, namely, adding a veteran or star in the secondary. A trip to the White House has come and gone, and left the fanbase somewhat divided over who did and did not attend the reception. While there shouldn't be any lingering effects in the lockerroom, the extreme views each side maintains run very deep. The Phillies finish April with a winning record as the power is coming around and they cap off another series win, this time against Division-rival Washington. The dreaded Diamondbacks come in to the Bank this weekend for a trio of tough games. The memory of 2023 lingers. An early season test as we enter the month of May approaches for the Fightins. Segments include: VetLine, VetPhact, Prem's MLB Picks.Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA) 

In this episode of The Overtime, Ben breaks down the latest playoff action from both the NBA and the NHL! Also, Ben recaps scores from around the NL East and other divisions, take a listen!

The Philadelphia Phillies aren't a bad team as we head into May. They're not a really good team either at this point and after a month of baseball this season. While there are challenges across the board, they're still a relevant team in the NL East. This week, Ethan Witte from TheGoodPhight.com joined us for a great discussion about where this team is at, and where they'll be heading as they continue on with the 2025 season.But first, the guys dove into some Philly sports history from this week. (Approx. 5:55)From there, the guys reflected on the NFL and Eagles Draft, and how the defensive players picked early in the draft is a sheer testament to Howie Roseman trusting Vic Fangio's defense and what is needed for continued success in the NFC. (Approx. 9:50)Then the guys discussed how this is going to be such a critical offseason for the Sixers due to health issues that persist for Joel Embiid, and even more issues that are facing the team. (Approx. 18:50)The guys then gave their thoughts on the Union unexpectedly parting ways with Daniel Gazdag, and what it means for the team. (Approx. 27:05)Then they dove into some Phillies talk and how this team just lack the fun feels early this season. May this be why they're facing some challenges? (Approx. 34:20)What they threw down on the Table this week was a fantastic and in-depth discussion with Ethan Witte from The Good Phight at SB Nation about how this team is facing a number of challenges. From Aaron Nola to Zack Wheeler to the runners in scoring position storyline, the guys discussed the good and bad when it comes to this Phillies 2025 season. All of this and much more this week on the Table!

Dukes and Bell come back with some more brief Braves talk and agree the team has yet to hit their stride and believe what they heard from Brett Boone in which he told them he believes the team has yet to get into their groove and will likely be battling the Mets for the division. Then with more talk on James Pearce, they discuss whether or not the Falcons had tunnel vision when it came to drafting James Pearce Jr. They then get into 4th and 1 and react to Dianna Russini reporting some NFL executives saying Shedeur Sanders treated team meetings like a recruiting trip.

The 2025 MLB season is underway, and each division is buzzing with critical questions that could shape the playoff race! Will the Orioles rebound in the ultra-competitive AL East? Can the Giants dominate the NL West despite a tougher Padres & Dodgers challenge? Is the NL Central the Cubs to lose, or will any other team steal the crown? We're diving into the most pressing storylines across all six divisions, from the AL Central's lone playoff contender to the NL East's big three (Braves, Phillies, Mets). Join us for expert analysis, bold predictions, and the key players to watch in 2025!

The Nats had their second walk-off win of the weekend as they overcame a six run deficit on Sunday afternoon for a thrilling 8-7 victory over the NL East leading Mets.  Riley Adams hit a 3 run HR in the bottom of the 7th to put Washington just one run back.  The offense then ncame through with two runs in the 9th and yet again it was CJ Abrams coming across for the winning run.(11:30) Dylan Crews began the team's scoring with a solo homer to continue his hot stretch. Crews has six hits in the past three games and has gotten a hit almost everyday since April 15th.(16:00) The much maligned bullpen kept its momentum as of late alive.  The 'pen combined for four innings of scoreless work, including a clean inning by the lefty Colin Poche.(19:30) Mitchell Parker had a disastrous first inning as he allowed five runs and saw the Mets bat around.  As bad as his start was, he was able to settle down and fight his way to complete five innings and save the bullpen for a few frames.(25:00) Evaluating where the Nationals are at after this recent stretch.

Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg discuss the top stories around Major League Baseball with betting leans for this week and beyond. The Inside Pitch, recorded April 28 with Scott Seidenberg and Josh Towers, reviews MLB standings and focuses on Yankees bullpen changes. Devin Williams lost the closer role after posting an 11.25 ERA, allowing 12 runs, 12 hits, and 7 walks in just 8 innings. Towers attributes Williams' struggles to mental weakness under New York pressure rather than mechanics, noting his strikeout rate dropped to 18.2% and sweet spot contact rose to 42.9%. Luke Weaver, who has thrown 14 scoreless innings with only 3 hits allowed and 14 strikeouts, steps in as closer. Weaver's mindset and adaptability were praised. The discussion predicts Williams could struggle further when used earlier in games to rebuild confidence. The Orioles are highlighted as the best "over" team at home due to poor pitching, favoring the over nine-and-a-half total in the Yankees-Orioles matchup. Conversely, an under nine bet is favored in the Rangers-Athletics game, citing solid pitching from Patrick Corbin and JP Sears. Gunnar Henderson's slump is analyzed: batting .220 with a 29.1% strikeout rate and minimal walks, attributed to over-aggression. Team evaluations followed: the Yankees and Red Sox are considered legitimate, Tampa Bay consistent but streaky, while skepticism is directed at the Blue Jays and Orioles sustaining competitiveness. In the AL Central, the Tigers are viewed as legitimate division contenders, with the Royals better than their record suggests. Towers criticizes the MLB's reduced minor leagues for worsening player development and opposes expansion. Aaron Judge's performance is lauded as historically elite with a 13.7 WAR across the last year, comparable to Babe Ruth's best seasons. Judge's discipline at the plate and patience are credited for his continued dominance. In the NL East, the Mets' excellent pitching and 12–1 home record establish them as serious contenders. Towers expects the Braves to rebound and questions the Phillies' consistency due to defensive lapses. In the Central, the Cubs are seen as overperforming, while Cincinnati, led by an improving Elly De La Cruz, is a value pick. Further analysis highlights Judge's league-best weighted runs created plus and criticizes the Dodgers' injury problems, blaming organizational changes to pitching mechanics. The Padres and Mariners are praised for pitching but have offensive concerns; the Rangers are expected to surge in the AL West. Award discussions follow: Aaron Judge and Pete Alonso are MVP favorites, Tariq Skubal and Logan Webb are Cy Young contenders. Top prospects like Roman Anthony and Jack Caglione are discussed cautiously, with Towers warning that MLB's fast-tracking approach harms long-term player development.

On this week's episode of The Brave Little Homer Podcast, I worship the ground that Eli White and Alex Verdugo walk on, and we discuss how much better the offense is performing. The Braves are still in the basement of the NL East but at least they're not alone. Now TIED for last place, they find themselves within striking distance and with an opportunity coming up next week with a series against the Rockies, the Braves are in a perfect position to completely turn things around. As always, thank you for listening! Support the show

The Nats came out on top in a seesaw affair as they walked off the Mets 5-4; snapping New York's seven game winning streak. Al & Tim have plenty to recap from the exciting evening in DC, including the Nationals pulling off a triple play for the first time in Navy Yard.(05:45) CJ Abrams scored the winning run in dramatic fashion as he came around all the way from first base on a James Wood single.  Abrams also tripled earlier in the game; his first hit since returning form the IL.(08:05) Dylan Crews had one of his best games yet as he scored three runs in the win.  Crews manufactured an early run by capitalizing on a mental mistake by Brandon Nimmo that unexpectedly put him in scoring position. Crews also tripled in the 9th as Juan Soto was unable to make the play in RF.(13:45) Jake Irvin was excellent as he pitched into the top of the 8th and did not allow a run through the initial seven innings. Irvin had a slow start to the season and has been able to drop his ERA down to 3.19.(18:00) Jose A. Ferrar allowed three runs after taking over for Irvin in the top of the 8th.  Kyle Finnegan gave up the big hit of the inning as Crews could not make a diving grab that led to a bases clearing triple by Mark Vientos.(26:00) Brady House hit his 4th homer of the AAA season and his OPS is at .877.

Despite being swept by the Mets this week, Phillies manager Rob Thomson still believes there is no gap between the two NL East rivals. The WIP midday show reacts to this tone deaf comment made by the Phillies manager!

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are back on the airwaves following the Blue Jays' sweep at the hands of the Houston Astros. The boys are fed up with Toronto's offensive drought and voice their concerns over the lack of quality at bats in Wednesday's series finale, along with the absence of slugging throughout the lineup. They then take some time to open up the "Back Leg Line" to respond to your questions and comments. Jon Morosi (27:50), MLB Network insider, stops by to share what's different about this year's version of the Chicago Cubs. Jon takes a look around the league to chat about the Mets' positioning in the NL East, Jordan Romano's struggles in Philadelphia, and Bo Bichette's performance in a contract year. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Knicks have a shot at sneaking past a first round upset, NY Giants might be righting the ship, and the NL East is competitive once again.

The New York Mets are the hottest team in baseball! We recap their incredible 7-0 homestand, capped by a 4-3 extra-inning win over the Cardinals. Pete Alonso delivers in the clutch, and Starling Marte walks it off. The Mets now lead the league with 18 wins and sit 11 games over .500 — the best mark in MLB.

Marlins home run leader, Matt Mervis, joins the show live to talk about his big April at the plate, the story behind his walk up song and meets the founders of his fan group: The Mervis Militia.

In hour 3, it's another Franzke Friday on the WIP midday show. Scott Franzke joins the show and gives his takes and opinions about a very up and down roller coaster of a week for the Phillies. And, a NL East rival are already starting to lose their head about their biggest acquisition of the offseason.

On today's show, the WIP midday show is split on whether it is a smart idea to trade AJ Brown for a top 5 pick in this year's draft amidst rumors that there has been buzz on the topic in league circles. With the Patriots currently at the #4 pick the front runner if an AJ Brown trade were to happen. Plus, Cristopher Sanchez has another great outing for the Phillies, could he be the best bargain in the city?!

Also, another mock draft less than a week from the draft, NL East rivals starting to lose their heads, and more!

Checking on the Phillies biggest NL East rival at the moment, it seems Mets fans have already had head loss over the Juan Soto contract. Believing they may have overpaid and now want a 'magic wand' to make it go back!

Jayson Stark has done a deep dive on our Braves and he's not liking what he's finding. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Phillies get the split with Giants, and look ahead to a weekend set with the Marlins. There are high expectations for this club, coming off of three straight postseason appearances including one pennant. Still in the infancy stages of the 2025 season, the usual up and down performance from this group has continued to rear it's ugly head, yet they are presently neck and neck with the Mets for the NL East lead. The Phils are looking for back-to-back Division Flags. But it won't be easy. The questions in the outfield remain relevant and frequent. The revolving door of players seems to be on track to repeat itself again this offseason, regardless of the result. A major question is how the team will deploy some of their hot young prospects into the majors later in the year. The Eagles are 6 days away from the NFL Draft with a lot of capital and options, for a team that is still loaded despite the loss of some solid defenders. Howie Roseman could go quite a few ways in the 1st Round, including moving up to get a true impact player. The defending Super Bowl Champions have an open window to repeat the feat. Segments include: VetPhact, Prem's MLB PicksCourtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA) 

The opener didn't go bad, but the offense was lackluster until the 8th inning. Was it too little too late?

Baseball season has returned, and Jack is back for his 2025 Major League Baseball season preview. Jack welcomes Aberdeen IronBirds (Baltimore Orioles High-A affiliate) play-by-play broadcaster Michael Marcantonini back to the show, for a comprehensive look at all six divisions. Mike and Jack kick things off with the AL East, a division Mike is very familiar with. The division has seen three different champions over the last five seasons. Will the New York Yankees repeat as AL East champs, even after losing Juan Soto? Last year, the Orioles took a step back from their 101-win season in 2023. Could they return to the top of the division, even after Corbin Burnes and Anthony Santander departed as free agents over the winter? The Boston Red Sox were very active in the offseason, trading for Garrett Crochet from the Chicago White Sox, and signing two-time All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract. Will it be enough to return Boston to the postseason? Mike and Jack also share their thoughts on the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays. On deck, Mike and Jack put the AL Central under the microscope. Four of the division's five teams have seen a quite a bit of preseason betting action... with the White Sox coming off a record-setting 121-loss season in 2024. The Cleveland Guardians, Kansas City Royals, Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins all posted winning seasons last year. Who do Mike and Jack like to win the division and snag a Wild Card (or two)? Then, the fellas turn their attention to the AL West. The Houston Astros have won the division seven of the last eight years. The only year in which the club has not won the West since 2017 came in 2020, in the COVID-shortened, 60-game season. In each of baseball's last seven full, 162-game seasons, the Astros have been AL West champions. However, the Astros bid farewell to Kyle Tucker, Alex Bregman, Justin Verlander and Ryan Pressly over the winter. The club doesn't appear to have much coming up through its farm system in the near future. Are the Astros still the team to beat in the West, or is their run reaching its end? Will the Seattle Mariners finally win their first division title since 2001? How will the Texas Rangers bounce back from a lackluster 2024, one year after winning the World Series? What kind of steps forward might the Los Angeles Angels and The Athletics take in 2025? Michael is a lifelong Philadelphia Phillies fan, so he is enthusiastic to weigh in on the Fightin' Phils' chances entering the coming season. How will the Atlanta Braves fare after losing ace Max Fried to free agency? Michael and Jack discuss the Mets' highly-priced addition of Juan Soto, and share which teams from the East they are projecting to make the playoffs. The Chicago Cubs are the betting favorites in the NL Central, despite having made the postseason just once over the last six years. The Milwaukee Brewers have reached the playoffs seven of the last eight years. Why aren't the Brewers getting more love? Michael and Jack debate. Jack believes that the three best teams in the National League all play in the NL West. Which of the three does he have winning the World Series? Jack explains why the greatest threat to the Los Angeles Dodgers' World Series defense may come in the National League Division Series. Finally, Michael and Jack share their World Series picks. It's an episode of the Jack Vita Show that you will not want to miss!

Slowly.We get RIGHT into the thick of NFL draft prep, and the panel of Mike, Bob and Jeff evaluate the areas of need on the Eagles.

That was fun to write.Up next it's LIVE look-ins at the Phillies as they kick off their series away at the Braves (game 3 rubber match is tonight as of this writing). Will these legendary NL East matchups be something to write home about? Or will their hopes be dashed just like Alec Bohm's "BODY LANGUAGE"??Tune in next week too, as we really get into draft mode, and we shall tease a very special episode for draft night. Join us, eh?
