Double play depth up the middle of the one oh Harper swings pulls it through the hole That's a base hit Crawford scores turners coming around third and Bryce Harper delivers a two run game tying single here in the top of the seventh And then we start over it's four four Well big moment I'd say the biggest last night that fills game Price had a good game Jodie real good game He did and it reminded me of the story to come and I couldn't believe that we had never heard that before That Harper was really torn between the Giants and the Phillies when he was a free agent that he was darn close to Potentially signing with San Francisco Yeah, and he ended up here and told off you but it was like I Know I thought that the Philly was the four runner the leader in the clubhouse finally got it done Middle didn't got it done game credit for it. I had no idea that he was seriously considering the Giants

And oh, by the way, he always hits in that park does quite a quite a big don't but price upper does quite a bit So the Phil's you know, they didn't hit a ton last night in that seven of the nine innings They didn't score anything but they had two innings They had the fifth with the two runs and they had the seventh with the four runs You know the seventh inning down four two entering that inning Crawford leads it off with a single Try gets a bloop he gets on Shwerber walks. He just heard the Bryce head to tie it up Let's get to bone because that was then the next big one and this was in a Chris coast I remember used to do this the squib for a squib down the right. Yeah, do you remember that with coast you? Yeah, yeah, I do for whatever reason he just specialized in the squib the right-handed batter that would hit it in between the first Basement and the first base bag right on down the line normally for a double Boom pulled one of them last night the one two Swing at a ground ball the other way that's a base head past devours down the line Here comes Shwerber to score Harper is on his way to third in its second is boom and the throw is not in time Phillies have the lead. It's five to four

So it was it was a good win was a good comeback and really the stars, you know People like Harper Crawford just the bullpen in general because painters struggled if you missed it No, this painter struggled his pitch count was up in the nineties through four innings couldn't last long Wasn't very effective gave up four runs gave up a lot of hits in some ways lucky to it was only four runs Didn't have good location just just didn't have it last night But the bats in the bullpen bailed the fills out two one five five nine two ninety four ninety four You know we're assessing ten games in you know what has stood out to you the most Jody What is it for you the most? Number one thing ten games in is what I said this at the top the improved bullpen and They talked it up a blue streak during the offseason and I thought well, it might be better or might be just the same It's been better. It really has been and again I the way Rhea talks about Nick nurse. I come to the fence of the Phillies manager Rob Thompson Because no one ever gives him credit when he gets it right when he gets it wrong

What was he doing? How could he pull him? Why did he go to the bullpen for him when he pushes all the right buttons like oh, I don't know last night Has to go to his bullpen in the fifth inning brings him in in a sequential order and they give up nothing Nobody ever says oh great job tougher When he blows it the next time I will also put that in the update I work on a day-to-day game to the game basis good job I know that one All right, so everyone can weigh in not only the last night which involved the Phillies win Which is pretty cool. It's good win Michigan winning the national title flyers by the way back at it tonight But also 10 games into the Phillies season. What has stood out to you the most 10 game for me. It's Crawford He looks pretty legit. He's batting 355. I don't think he's gonna have 355 this year certainly don't think He's gonna hit 355 for his career But you know what I think he's gonna do I think he's gonna hit You know why because I think dude hits Let's go to the phones eight eight eight seven two nine ninety four Different phone number for us today if you just tune them in calls to the eight eight seven two nine ninety four

Plus an absolutely ridiculous headline. I saw yesterday. I got to ask Jody his rolling on this one JP and Plymouth meeting JP good morning Good morning guys. How's it going good? You guys said it earlier about the sixers like they're a good team, but they're not a great team. They're not gonna I think they they're gonna make the playoffs. They may be make it to the second round But they're not I don't JP the bench is so unbelievably weak. I mean as good teams go as good teams go. I swear to you. It's one of the worst Benches I've seen a pretty good team having a long time. I mean they they are just brutal And um right before I got on and you said about Crawford like I believe he's legit Um painter had a big gain, you know, he's high pitch count early, but and you're right We don't give time for credit when when he does others credit, but we'd all like say all for the said when he's doing bad

Um, great job by the Phillies. It's like you know the bull ten of bull friend is surprisingly, you know Better than I thought they were gonna be But it's those bats that are Yeah, the bats the bats are what scares you JP give me an answer a notable five or fifth. What do you have? Um, so I think it are the five families in the godfather. Oh, that's pretty good answer right there The five families and that's real deal stuff in New York right jody was was got it five families That's pretty good answer right there. I like that answer eight eight eight seven two nine nine four nine four I jody rea and souts are may remember I brought this up last year. I never noticed it to last year So I'm gonna direct my comments to you and tell me if you agree with me that this is just reticules from a headline standpoint And really not so much from a headline standpoint from a concept standpoint So I never noticed this to to last year But yesterday on ESPN same thing is last year So you might remember a couple days ago you cla won the women's college basketball national championship

headline from espn.com NC double a champion UCLA finishes number one in women's AP top 25 poll As If they were going to finish number five Am I weird? Am I missing reticule? What's the point? Am I missing something here? No, you're not missing anything like I need that headline and I need that concept And by the way like it shouldn't even be voted on yeah, they shouldn't have one We did it with the tournament like you can you can you can have a top 25 if you want vote to through 25 One's not voteable Howdy out what like what the hell doesn't make any sense other than are you freaking kidding me I need a vote for whose number one they just won the national championship right and and the way you debunk The point that ESPN made yesterday will they report a week from now a month from now you cla NCAA women's champion comma and the number one rated team in the AP poll

They're not gonna write that that would be dumb just as it's dumb today to note that they have the number one To me even more than a crazy headline like that like read you think people actually had it to Like the voters whoever they are yeah Do you think they actually had to put in number one? I think I'll choose UCLA like is that actually no, it's kind of stupid. Is that on the table like the perfluous? I guess is yeah good word good word like it so anyway I just worked up you are about this. Well, it seems it makes this great listen the hammer's right the most Meaningless thing that ever I Some of my quirky things. I'm right on someone like yell it. I love them on particularly right on Some of them I'm right some of them on particularly right none of them. I'm wrong now You like we all get them wrong from time to time. I'm just saying. I noticed this last year no one talks about it But it makes no sense of course to number one Well in the championship Eight and eight seven two nine ninety four ninety four coming up as the flyers get ready for another game tonight
