Philadelphia Phillies

...

the Phillies-Nationals game tonight.

That's all.

Huh?

I don't have my, my, uh, sarcasm detector on yet.

I, I sense a little bit? A little there?

We're gonna do three and a half hours of live betting on Phillies-Nationals, so buckle your seat belts.

It's gonna be a wild ride.

Yeah, getting hot at the right time.

And the Padres right now, not only could they hold off the D-backs for the final wildcard spot, they could catch the Phillies and the Cubs potentially in the wildcard race there.

Mm-hmm.

So we'll see how it ultimately plays out.

So I don't know.

I, I hope the Orioles are in it so that, that makes it a little bit more, um, tougher, a little bit tougher on the Yankees because you guys, excuse me, you guys know that, um, the, the Rays get the Phillies there.

So, um, anyway, we'll see.

The comments are live and we're going to get to them right now.

your team, every day.

And the Phillies have absolutely no urgency about them.

I look at my watch, and I see that the Phillies have just come out of a disappointing series against the Atlanta Braves, where they get terrible news about Jesus Lozano not only missing the start, but being placed on the I.L., for goodness sakes, and they got their ace, quote-unquote, on the hill in Christopher Sanchez, and Christopher Sanchez can't get you even a solid outing against the Washington Nationals.

And as I look at my watch, I see the fact that the Philadelphia Phillies have zero approach at the plate against a pitcher who is, hmm, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, sheiks.

Yeah, analytically speaking, cheeks.

Big baseball news.

Jesus Lizardo of the Phillies has gone on the injured list with a bad shoulder.

And a postseason start is very much in jeopardy for Lizardo.

So, bad news for them.

If you're the Cubs...

Great news for you.

And you're going to face the Phillies.

That means you have to worry about Zach Wheeler, and you've got to worry about Christopher Sanchez, but not Jesus Lizardo.

We were just talking about baseball.

Phillies lost Jesus Lozardo to the IL.

That's a big blow.

That is a big blow.

They're awesome.

They would play right now.

If the playoffs started today, they would play the winner of the Cubs and Phillies, which would be a 5-4 matchup.

Phillies just lost the race.

Boston Yankees winner would play the Rays.

Over in the National League, the Padres and the Braves, and then the Phillies and the Cubs will be the wild card with Milwaukee and L.A. awaiting the winners of those respective series.

As things stand right now, officially only four teams have confirmed their clinching in into the postseason the tampa bay rays the new york yankees the brewers and the dodgers in the american league the toronto blue jays the texas rangers are still in the hunt for the final wild card spot a game and a game and a half baltimore three games back and then the tigers are four and a half games back In the National League, like we said, the Arizona Diamondbacks are really the only other team right now in serious contention for the final wildcard spot.

But they would have to overtake the Padres to do that.

Clearly a lot to talk to Jordan about, especially with his line mate, Landon Dickerson, being out for the next few weeks with his knee issue.

So we'll talk to Jordan at 4, and then we lead you up to the Phillies as they play the Washington Nationals tonight, first of three with them.

So we start with the Eagles as we usually do because it's Football season.

So here's the question.
