Did you see what happened in Miami over the weekend? A Phillies fan went crazy over a home run ball. I couldn't believe it.

The WIP Morning Team is joined by Ben Davis to discuss the Trea Turner injury. Is there reason to be concerned? Jon Ritchie thinks it's better that he didn't react terribly when he left the field, hoping that means the injury isn't too bad. The team and Davis also discuss how Green Bay played last season. They discuss the injuries throughout the league and if Kansas City will sign someone before they face the Eagles this week. Rhea Hughes thinks that Atlanta looks good and the rest of the team agrees.
The WIP Morning Team is joined by Reuben Frank, Ben Davis and Sheil Kapadia in Monday's show. The team breaks down the Eagles win last Thursday, getting analysis from Kapadia and Frank on what the Eagles need to improve.

He left the game with an apparent hamstring strain, and his future is uncertain. The Phillies are preparing for the Mets series this week, which they may have to play without Turner. Joe DeCamara gives an injury update on his ankle, announcing the basketball game between him and Jack Fritz will be postponed.

This week on TABLE TALK, Jeff sat down with Destiny Lugardo from PhilliesNation.com to discuss where this Phillies team is currently at as they start the final month of the regular season here in September. There's optimism on the horizon for sure. It was a great discussion!Topics Destiny and Jeff discussed:- Are those good and positive vibes for real as we enter this last phase of the season?- What will Harrison Bader's role be moving forward as a key piece on this team?- Trea Turner is having a monumental season and should be considered for MVP.- What has happened to the consistency we have been accustomed to from Nick Castellanos?SUBSCRIBE on YouTube: youtube.com/@thephiladelphiasportstableHead over to our website for all of our podcasts and more: philadelphiasportstable.comFollow us on BlueSky:Jeff: @jeffwarren.bsky.socialErik: @brickpollitt.bsky.socialFollow us on Threads:Jeff: @mrjeffwarrenErik: @slen1023The Show: @philadelphiasportstableFollow us on Twitter/X:Jeff: @Jeffrey_WarrenErik: @BrickPollittThe Show: @PhiladelphiaPSTFollow us on Instagram:Jeff: @mrjeffwarrenErik: @slen1023The Show: @philadelphiasportstable.Follow Jeff on TikTok: @mrjeffwarrenFollow us on Facebook: facebook.com/PhiladelphiaSportsTable
On today's episode of Fanatic Weekend with Dei Lynam, the show kicks off with Nick Sirianni's press conference. Following this, Dei shares her insights on the press conference and transitions into discussing the Phillies, highlighting Trea Turner's walk-off single against the Braves from the previous night. Dei further analyzes Sirianni's remarks, exploring their implications as the team prepares for the upcoming home opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday.
Tek & Prem discuss the upcoming Eagles season opener against Dallas next Thursday Night, and breakdown the 53-man roster. Some late changes were pulled off by Howie and the Front Office, with former Birds returning to the nest in Epps and Covey. The QB Factory also continues to churn. With the Cowboys defense losing Micah Parsons in a trade with Green Bay, it appears more likely that the Eagles soar offensively next Thursday Night, on Super Bowl banner night. Jalen Hurts continues to be slandered by losers like Cam Newton on national television. The march to repeat as Super Bowl Champions is almost underway. The Phillies bounce back from a nitemare series sweep in NY in a big way versus the Braves, pouring on a season-high 19 runs, including 4 bombs from Schwarber as he sets a new Phillies single-game franchise record with 9 RBI. It looks more and more likely that the NL MVP Award is his to lose. The biggest question heading into the final month of baseball is whether or not the Phils can win enough to secure the 2 seed, and avoid a potential Wild Card Series against the Mets. Segments include: VetPhact, Prem's MLB Picks. Courtesy of the Vet Alumni Members Association (VAMA)
Joe Giglio was asked to apologize to Trea Turner for the skepticism and criticism Joe threw his way earlier this season. Joe is still not willing to apologize yet and still can't fully trust him defensively at shortstop.
In Hour 2, the WIP Midday Show are met with breaking news. The breaking news being Eagles QB Jalen Hurts' ranking on the NFL top 100 where he comes in at #19 on the players list. Do you agree with the placement on the list or he is too high or too low? Plus, Hugh recaps his Friday night at the furry convention, and Joe still not sold on Trea Turner at shortstop.
Send us a textSure we talked about #Yankees 9 home runs in one game last week - that's the 2nd time it's happened this season which is a first! #Phillies Zach Wheeler has surgery and is out for the season - awful. #Brewers #Cubs #Dodgers #Padres are all good teams and will be tough in the playoffs. #Tigers Tarik Skubal and #RedSox Garret Crochet are pitching horses which is more special than ever. #Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk steals his first base ever after 2,000+ games! #Rangers continue to disappoint. #Orioles sign another catcher to an 8 year deal after one week in #MLB. Huh? What happened to Adley Rutschman? Our stat of the week is good ole fashioned batting average. #NationalLeague has had batting champions for 150 years, the #AmericanLeague for 125 years. Do we really want to pull away from that long and amazing history? Batting average may not be the be-all and end-all offensive stat but we think it's still important.

It seems as though the Phillies are rallying around Zack Wheeler and his injury since the news came out earlier this week that he has a blood clot in his shoulder and was placed on the IL. Since then, the Phillies have been playing well, even sweeping the Mariners last night with an 11-2 win. Trea Turner and Bryson Stott have been playing much better recently. Ben Davis, who joined the Morning Show in-studio, wonders if the Phillies are becoming the team they were meant to be. Jose Alvarado made his return to the MLB last night after being suspended for PEDs and was given a standing ovation at the stadium. The Morning Show questioned whether that felt right after he hurt the team. Hear some audio about Jalen Hurt's mindset coming out of camp and going into the season- it feels positive! Jon Ritchie was afraid that as a child, he was going to eat his childhood dog. Time's Yours and much more!
Ben Davis thinks the series versus the Mariners was the best series the Phillies have played in the last 5 years. Last night was the first game that Jose Alvarado has pitched in the MLB since he was suspended for PEDs. The fans at Citizen's Bank Park gave him a standing ovation. The 94 WIP Morning Show wasn't so happy with that idea. Rob Thomson in an interview last night said it was an 'honest mistake' and he was happy that the fans accepted him back. James and the Morning team think that what he did to the organization was selfish. Trea Turner has been a rock-star lately.
Ben Davis, who joined the 94 WIP Morning Show, believes the Phillies are coming into their own and becoming the team that they were built to be. Guys like Bryson Stott (who made a mechanical change to his swing) have been playing much better as of late which really gives the Phillies a boost. Trea Turner has been a standout recently for the Phillies as well. Nick Castellanos was not in the lineup last night. The Morning team plays some interesting audio of Rob Thomson explaining why.
James Seltzer, in for Joe DeCamara on the the 94 WIP Morning Show, is against Jose Alvarado getting a standing ovation in his first game back with the Phillies after being suspended for PEDs earlier this season. Rob Thomson, last night, said it was an 'honest mistake' that Alvarado made, but James, Rhea Hughes, and Justin Dorazio were not buying it. Rhea made a good point- that the fans at the stadium stood and cheered more because the team has been winning rather than about Alvarado. Trea Turner has been playing awesome lately.
Nick Castellanos was not played last night and the 94 WIP Morning Show listens to some audio of Rob Thomson giving an answer as to why. Harrison Bader was reportedly frustrated and wants more at bats, which could have factored in. Castellanos also seemingly has a knee problem? Trea Turner has turned it up as of late.
El capitán de los Yankees, Aaron Judge, salió al paso a los comentarios de Aaron Boone sobre su forma de lanzar. El manager terminó reculando en sus declaraciones y el tema ha generado mucho debate en Nueva York. Además, repasamos lo más importante de la jornada en MLB: Giancarlo Stanton la sacó de emergente en la décima entrada y junto a dos cuadrangulares de Austin Wells, más la gran actuación del novato Cam Schlitter, los Yankees superaron a los Rays. Con un Jesús Luzardo brillante desde la lomita, un Trea Turner encendido con 5 hits y un jonrón de Kyle Schwarber, los Phillies barrieron a los Mariners. Los Tigres apalearon desde temprano a Framber Valdez con 6 carreras en la primera entrada y completaron barrida a los Astros con un Charlie Morton dominante. Gavin Sheets (4 CI), Manny Machado y Ryan O'Hearn guiaron el triunfo de los Padres sobre los Gigantes. Johan Oviedo lució imponente y con un doble productor de Tommy Pham, los Piratas vencieron a los Blue Jays. Michael Busch pegó un doble de 3 rayitas para que los Cubs derrotaran a los Brewers. Los Rockies sorprendieron al darle la primera derrota de la temporada a Shohei Ohtani, con Hunter Goodman remolcando 3 carreras. El japonés además salió golpeado del juego. Todo esto y mucho más en tu noticiero de confianza: Baseball News ⚾
