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.
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.

Tek & Prem welcome Phillies Reporter for The Inquirer, Scott Lauber, on the VetLine to talk Phils. The MLB season is less than one week away, as the Fightins prepare to travel to DC to take on the Nationals for a 3-game series to start the 2025 campaign. The Phils starting pitching is still among the league's best, adding Luzardo to that mix, and the lineup may be shook up a bit as the Phils try again with this core, to win a World Series Trophy for the first time since 2008. Eagles offseason talk continues as the Draft approaches in April. Howie Roseman has a ton of Draft capital and has added some good low risk-high reward 1-year contracts to young defenders with a lot to prove. There will be some good competition in camp for key spots, but the core remains at every level of the defense with an offense still boasting the same stars. The defending Super Bowl Champions are 6 weeks removed from the big game, but the excitement for their trajectory should be just as strong as it was on Feb 10.

Tek & Prem welcome Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer on the VetLine to talk Fightins. With 16 games to go, they stand atop the MLB with the league's best winning percentage. The next stretch of 10 games vs the Mets and Brewers may determine their trajectory in October. The top seed in the NL is a coveted position to be in with teams like the Dodgers and Diamondbacks in the fold. As they work to get healthy, some unlikely characters have stepped up and gotten it done in thrilling fashion. The Eagles got a victory in Brazil and it wasn't easy. The Packers provided a formiddable challenge and Jalen Hurts committed costly turnovers. Despite the rust and poor decisions, he also made some remarkable plays and got it done late by icing the final 8 minutes of the game. Saquon was exceptional in his debut.
