Introduction and Braves vs. Phillies Game 2 Highlights
00:00:00
Speaker
Well, hi again, sports fans, Robbie Ross here with the Ross sports report episode five. And I sit down to record this in my studio, fresh off the brains, winning game two of the nationally division series over the Philadelphia Phillies three to nothing to tie that series at one game a piece in what was a pitcher's duel.
00:00:30
Speaker
For the good majority of the ball game, the Braves got fantastic pitching out of their ace Kyle Wright. And we'll get back to that in a little bit. Kyle Wright on the night for the Braves, six innings pitch, two hits, no runs, six strikeouts, and one walk to go. Want to know in the postseason, his 22nd win of the year, the Braves have now
00:01:01
Speaker
Counting the regular season, 121 of Kyle Wright's last 24 starts, including 10 in a row. Kenley Janssen got the save as the Braves turned it over to the bullpen. A.J. Minter, then to Iggy in the eighth inning, Naglacius, and then Kenley Janssen. Janssen retired Philadelphia in order, matters two, three, and four.
00:01:28
Speaker
picking up his 20th career postseason save that second all time behind Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera with 42.
Key Performances and Player Analysis
00:01:36
Speaker
So the Braves tie the series up one game apiece after a big sixth inning where they had two out magic, which is what did them in in game one yesterday for consecutive two out hits for the Phillies and the first inning set the tone.
00:01:55
Speaker
But the Braves win three nothing to even the series one game a piece before they head back to Philadelphia on Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon. And then if necessary, game five will be back at Truis Park on Sunday afternoon. It was the sixth inning, like I said, for the Braves. That got things going, nothing, nothing. And then the Braves got two outs. Ronald Acuna got hit. Luckily stayed in the ballgame.
00:02:29
Speaker
Matt Olson singles to score. Ronald Acuna, Dansby Swanson walked to get on base. He moved to third. Austin Riley then singles back to the pitcher and infield hit. Softly singles and infield hit. Dansby scores. Matt Olson to second. And then Travis Darno singles to up the middle. And Matt Olson scores for the three runs for the Braves.
00:02:58
Speaker
The line score, Braves, three runs, four hits, no errors. And for the Phillies, no runs on three hits, no errors. Braves left six men on base. And the Phillies left nine men on base, but never really threatened in the game. Dansby Swanson and Austin Riley in these first two games that combined two for 14 with two walks.
00:03:26
Speaker
but Riley did have a base hit tonight to score a run. And the bigger story in this series, the Phillies top of the lineup, their first and second batters, Kyle Schwaber and Reese Hoskins, a combined one for 18. So my question to you is, who gets hot first? Is it Swanson, a combined two for 14 in the series and Riley?
00:03:54
Speaker
Or is it Swarber and Hoskins to combine one for 18? I think that is what the series is going to come down to as we move to Philadelphia on Friday for game three.
Strategy Discussions and Series Outlook
00:04:04
Speaker
Which of these two integral parts of their ball club gets hot for their team? And does Kenley Jansen stay hot? He's had a great three weeks now. Who pitches game three for the Braves?
00:04:21
Speaker
Does Brian Snicker throw Spencer Strider, who has been on the DH or the DL, excuse me, for a couple of weeks with that strained oblique? Does he throw Charlie Morton? So a lot of questions arise. Aaron Nola, we do know this will be on the mound for the Phillies.
00:04:45
Speaker
with his 11 and 13 record and 3.25 ERA. Don't let that record fool you. He is one of the best pitchers in the National League. And then you get the Saturday. You have to think it would be either Strider giving him one more day of rest or Charlie Morton for the Braves. And then you're not really sure who the Phillies bring. And then game five, of course, it's probably Charlie bullpen or Charlie Holstaff, as they say.
00:05:16
Speaker
Looking back to game one and I have, you know, the way Kyle Wright pitched tonight, he's been your ace all year. I always was saying previous to yesterday's game, you throw, I think you throw Kyle Wright out there first and save Max Freed for game two. Max Freed did not have his best stuff. Freed's line yesterday for the Braves.
00:05:41
Speaker
Three and a third innings pitched, giving up six runs on eight hits. Four of those runs were earned. One walk, two strikeouts. And it was extended, his day was extended with a first inning where the Phillies had four straight singles with two outs and scored two runs. Braves got one run back in the bottom of the second with a Darno solo home run. And then the Phillies scored two in the third, two in the fourth, one in the fifth.
00:06:11
Speaker
to extend their lead out to seven to three as we headed to the sixth inning. Braves had some ninth inning magic, cut it to seven to six, but could not get the equalizing run or go ahead run or in that case, the winning run and fell seven to six falling behind one game to none. Don't press the panic button. The Braves lost game one of the NLDS last year on the road in Milwaukee.
00:06:35
Speaker
and then came back to beat Milwaukee in game two, three to nothing. And oh, by the way, the Braves won tonight game two, three to nothing. So parallel, of course, of course that was on the road. Braves now have to go on the road and take on a Philadelphia team in their home ballpark. And this Philadelphia team is going home for the first time in 16 days. They have played 16 straight games
00:07:05
Speaker
or 15 straight games on the road. They finished with a 10 game road trip in the regular season. They went straight to St. Louis for three road games. They went straight to Atlanta for two road games. So they are going home for the first time in 16 days. And that ballpark is going to be intense. That ballpark's going to be alive. That ballpark's going to be loud.
00:07:30
Speaker
Citizen Bank Park on Friday as the Phillies host their first postseason game in 11 years. Philadelphia Eagles and football, they're undefeated. So the city of Philadelphia is on fire right now. So the Braves are gonna have to come out and silence that a little bit. Braves offense dating back to that last regular season series with the Marlins.
00:08:00
Speaker
Not it's best of late. Of course, uh, they clinched on that Tuesday, uh, and, and when, excuse me, and then, uh, scored nine runs with the makeshift lineup the last day of the year, had the five days off and could not find the timely hit yesterday. But you find a way to get it done today. Braves left on game one, left 19 runners on base.
00:08:29
Speaker
and only in mustard nine hits, a lot of those coming in the ninth inning didn't really make much of a charge till the ninth and it came up short. But bottom line is it's one game to one, heading back to Philadelphia and the Braves can clinch it in Philadelphia or one win by Philadelphia and a Braves win up there in the city of brotherly love, as they say.
Dodgers vs. Padres Series Update
00:08:57
Speaker
And we'll have a game five on Sunday. Winner, of course, takes on the Dodgers. Padres winner. Dodgers are up one game to none in that one as the Dodgers won last night on Monday night or excuse me, Tuesday night by a score of five to three.
Impact of Game Scheduling on Braves
00:09:21
Speaker
And they are up in there and actually they're to now know the Padres are now leading.
00:09:27
Speaker
as I record this in the top of the sixth, four to three. So that's interesting as, uh, you Darvish started that game for the Padres, Clayton Kershaw started that game for the Dodgers, Freddie Freeman's Homer, Trey Turner's Homer in game one and game two. Uh, so, you know, the Dodgers are going to hit the baseball. It's just Ken, the Padres pitching with standard. So that, that series goes to game three on Friday. The Braves have drawn the misfortune.
00:09:54
Speaker
of all afternoon games, minus tonight, thanks to the weather, Braves had a three-hour rain delay, which forced first pitch from 4.30 to 7.30, back at 4.30 on Friday, and then a very oddly timed 2.07 first pitch on Saturday, and then if necessary, game five back at Truis Park on Sunday at 4.37.
00:10:20
Speaker
So when the Yankees and the Dodgers are in the playoffs and you're not playing them, guess who gets the night game? That's right, the Dodgers and the Yankees. And if you're Houston and Seattle and Atlanta and Philly, you're playing afternoon ball. So, which I don't really agree with in the DS. You know, I think you put two games on at the same time and let those markets pick where they want to play that you could have very easily played
00:10:49
Speaker
these two games, uh, the four games yesterday, you could have played, uh, the Braves and the Phillies and the Astros and the Mariners at five 30 and put the Yankees and the Dodgers series on at eight 30. Same people are going to watch same ratings. Uh, but instead of the Braves of the play at one Oh five yesterday and originally scheduled for four 30 today.
00:11:14
Speaker
Uh, but of course, uh, the rain helped push it to a seven 30 game and, uh, four 30, not going to help anybody in truest park because of the shadows, very odd time. Uh, the Braves never play a four 30 game. And, uh, basically the shadows, the way they, the sun falls on truest park would have made from awkward, awkward shadows on the ballpark and the baseball diamond.
00:11:37
Speaker
had that game be played at 4.30. So we'll see what happens as the game gets late, if there is a game five on Sunday. But most importantly, Braves survive and get a much needed win in game two to move to one game apiece. And see if they can kind of get hot. And like I said, a little while ago, the tale of the series, it seems to me,
00:12:06
Speaker
It's going to be who gets hot first. Dansby Swanson and Austin Riley combined two of 14, or will it be Kyle Swarber and Reese Hoskins, who is a combined one of 18 in this series. And what's even scarier if you're a Braves fan and like, Oh gosh, when are they going to wake up? They are a combined one of 33. They were 0 for 15 against the Cardinals in that series.
00:12:32
Speaker
So who's going to wake up first is the question, but, uh, the Braves and Phillies will do it again on Friday in game three.
College Football Highlights and Analysis
00:12:43
Speaker
So hopefully, uh, we'll have some good news to talk about, uh, Braves baseball on episode six college football this past week, big, big week in college football across the country. Alabama survived.
00:13:03
Speaker
A Texas A&M rally late to beat the Aggies. They had to make a defensive stand at the goal line with no time on the clock. Alabama won 24-20. Alabama missed a couple of field goals. Also, Bryce Young got hurt. So we'll see what his status is as we look ahead to next week, this coming week, which is a big week. So the backup quarterback there for Alabama
00:13:31
Speaker
Very, very capable, very good, but had some miscues with the football, Milrow. He fumbled a couple of times, running the football, didn't tuck it, didn't protect the ball, and it was knocked out of his hands. He threw three touchdown passes, one interception. Alabama turned it over a number of times, very uncharacteristic of Alabama, turned it over four times, three fumbles and an interception.
00:13:59
Speaker
Those don't happen. It's a very different ball game is Texas A&M is just not very good. As their three and three Alabama is six and oh. And Alabama dropped in the rankings again. Georgia hopped them LSU no match for Tennessee. Tennessee won that one 40 to 13 as Tennessee gets set to host Alabama in the first meaningful game between Bama and Tennessee in at least.
00:14:29
Speaker
And I haven't looked back, but at least 15 years, if not longer, does that game mean something this year as it'll be a battle of top 10 teams. Uh, game day last week was at Kansas for the first time for football. They've been in Allen field house for basketball a number of times, but for football, their first time in Kansas and TCU won that one 38 31.
00:14:56
Speaker
So the Cinderella story of Kansas being undefeated takes a hit, a small hit. Mississippi State beat Arkansas 40 to 17, Florida beat Missouri 24 to 17. The Red River shootout always a game circled on the national calendar. It was not circled if you're an Oklahoma fan this year. Texas blows out Oklahoma 49 nothing. The Brent Venables era at Oklahoma
00:15:21
Speaker
really, really, really off to a rocky start. As of course the very successful defensive coordinator for Oklahoma, the even more successful defensive coordinator for Clemson. Brent Venables moves on to be the head coach of Oklahoma and things are not going well in Norman, Oklahoma as the Texas Longhorns won that one 49 to nothing.
00:15:46
Speaker
In the Sunbelt, it was Georgia State defeating Georgia Southern, 41-33. Georgia State has now won three in a row over their rival from Statesboro, and they are six and three all-time over Georgia Southern. In that rivalry, a very short rivalry, Georgia Southern turned it over five times, a number of interceptions from their quarterback, Kyle Vantreese. And you can't turn the ball over. Kyle Vantreese threw four interceptions
00:16:16
Speaker
and Caleb Hood fumbled at once. You can't turn the ball over five times and win a football game in the Sunbelt or any conference of college football. Otherwise, Kyle Bantries had a great day. 30 of 49, 359 passing and three touchdowns. Georgia Southern rushed it for 92 yards. Conversely, Georgia State ran the football extremely well, highlighting Georgia Southern's tackling
00:16:39
Speaker
Woes so far the first six games of the season and Georgia State ran for 335 yards 335 yards on the ground and three touchdowns Darren Granger threw it 16 to 25 for 186 and two touchdowns interception Georgia Southern loses 41 33 to Georgia State so the Eagles fall to three and three after that promising three and one start dropped two consecutive conference games on the road to open Sunbelt play and will
00:17:09
Speaker
come home for family weekend at Paulson Stadium against James Madison. We'll talk about that when Georgia State improves to two and four, they have one now two in a row. Georgia over Auburn, 42 to 10, Georgia took care of Auburn. I don't know, I really don't know how Auburn's coach is still employed. I just don't, I don't understand it.
00:17:35
Speaker
You would think that that would have been the nail in the proverbial coffin But he is still employed as of right now as of this recording. He is still on the payroll on the planes Georgia improves to six and oh and They're both eligible. They're both eligible coastal Carolina Clemson bowl eligible, Alabama bowl eligible about that the earliest possibility That they could be able eligible. They are
00:18:04
Speaker
Georgia routes from 42 to 10. And it wasn't even that close, really. Stetson Bennett, 22 of 32, 208 yards passing, no touchdowns, no interceptions. Georgia ran the ball 292 yards on the ground, including Stetson Bennett's three carries for 64 yards and a touchdown and a nifty run. If you hadn't seen it, look it up. Stetson Bennett shows he has wheels, that the mail truck has wheels.
00:18:31
Speaker
So Georgia improves, wins 42-10 in what they call the Deep South's oldest rivalry. But everybody knows the true, true oldest rivalry in the Deep South by three years is Furman and Wofford. Furman and Wofford first played in 1889.
00:18:50
Speaker
George and Auburn first played in 1892. So the real oldest rivalry in the decent South belongs to the Furman Paladins and the Wofford Terriers. But that's a whole nother story for another time. UCLA, they defeat Utah 42-32. UCLA is undefeated. Utah falls to four and two. So they are now out of the picture of an EPAC 12 championship. UCLA, USC headed for a showdown, potentially undefeated, but USC still has to get by Notre Dame.
00:19:20
Speaker
down the road as well. Ohio State, they continue to roll. They win 49-20 over Michigan State. Ole Miss, they're undefeated. They win over Vandy, 52-28. Georgia Tech and their interim coach gets his second win in a row over Duke. Georgia Tech at 3-3. They win 23-20 in an overtime second straight win for interim coach Brent Key on the flats at Georgia Tech.
00:19:49
Speaker
James Madison, they get ranked for the first time in history. They've played five FBS games and they are five and O and they are ranked for the first time in school history in the FBS poll. In the first five weeks of being an FBS team, they went over Arkansas state 42 20.
00:20:07
Speaker
And they come into Stateborough this weekend. That'll be an interesting ball game. We'll talk about that as we look ahead to week seven. And Texas State upsets Appalachian State. So Appalachian State is three and three. They are a Hail Mary being knocked down away from being two and four. And just, who knows? It's crazy.
00:20:36
Speaker
beat Texas A&M, nine, 17, 14. So I mean, Texas, they're three points, four points, five, six points away from being one five. With that one win, a resounding win over the citadel, which is always good to see a win over the citadel by anybody, 49 to nothing. So interesting situation in App State. They have a week off to prepare and think about what's happening and what's going wrong, but they're three and three overall. They are.
00:21:05
Speaker
one and two in Sunbelt play. Uh, so interesting times up on the mountain and Boone Clemson takes care of Boston college 31 to three South Carolina. What an upset win for the Gamecocks. They go on the road and beat Kentucky 24 to 14. Coach Shane Beamer has his Gamecocks at four and two
00:21:30
Speaker
and upsets Kentucky and kind of derails their chances of any SEC East noise. As of right now, Wake Forest beats Army, BYU falls to Notre Dame. Kansas State over Iowa State, 10-9. NC State survives Florida State, 1917. Coastal Carolina, we mentioned they're both eligible. They're 6-0, they beat Louisiana Monroe. Looking ahead to this week on Saturday,
00:21:59
Speaker
Penn State, Michigan. Top 10 matchup, Michigan number five, Penn State number 10 at noon on Fox from Ann Arbor, the Big House. Big first big marquee matchup for the Big Ten this year. Auburn at Ole Miss, that's a noon kick. Ole Miss 14 and a half favorite there. Here's a secret, take Ole Miss, they'll cover. Kansas on the road to Oklahoma, does Oklahoma
00:22:30
Speaker
Find something deep down and make some sort of recovery from the Texas game. Can Kansas bounce back from their first loss of the year? Texas at home against Iowa State at 12 o'clock. Illinois ranked for the first time in a long time under Levy Smith. They're five and one. They host Minnesota.
00:22:53
Speaker
In the Sunbelt, Coastal Carolina, 6-0. Looks to go to 7-0. They host Old Dominion in a matchup between Coastal and one of the new members of the Sunbelt. Virginia Tech and Miami in a game that used to mean a lot, but now means nothing. Nothing. Both their teams have two wins. Miami is not back. Virginia Tech is not back. That's a 12-30 game on ESPN3. Not even on real TV. Not even on real TV.
00:23:20
Speaker
ESPN 3 for that one. Georgia and Vandy, Georgia back in number one, hosting Vanderbilt at 3.30, betwixt the hedges. Georgia, a 38-point favorite. That's a lot not to cover. I don't know about that. Alabama at number three and Tennessee at number six. As I said earlier, this is the first time in at least I haven't looked it up. I'm not going to take the time to look it up.
00:23:46
Speaker
but for the first time in at least 15 years that this game means something to both teams. It means a little bit more to Tennessee though than it does Alabama because Alabama has that built-in cushion to lose one along the way because that's the Alabama way. They are always given that built-in cushion to lose one along the way and still be okay, get to the SEC Championship game, win that and go to the playoffs.
00:24:15
Speaker
Alabama has that cushion. Tennessee I don't think has that luxury where they are not going to have the ability to lose one along the way because they still have to play Georgia, still have to play Kentucky and a number of other teams that Kentucky, Georgia, they still have to go to South Carolina, which now could be a formidable thing. So Tennessee does not have the luxury that Alabama does, although Alabama's remaining schedule is
00:24:42
Speaker
Unbelievable to this week. Number six, Tennessee. Next week, 16th ranked Mississippi State. Following that, always a tough trip to Baton Rouge, more than likely be a night game. And then they go to Ole Miss, who's number nine this week. And then, of course, they always finish with Auburn. By that time, surely Auburn will have an interim coach, I would imagine. And that game can always go one way or the other. So Alabama is a seven-point favorite.
00:25:12
Speaker
That's tough. You might want to go with the over under there. I'm not sure it doesn't show that what the over would be. But Tennessee likes to score points, likes to score points. The over is 65 and a half. I don't know if that'll get touched, but that may be one of those games you just sit back and watch at 3.30 on Saturday and not really mess with it if you were into that type of gaming.
00:25:34
Speaker
Oklahoma State ranked eighth in the country, very quiet top 10 team at Oklahoma State. They host TCU, which could be interesting. Both of those teams, five and O. TCU, a four point favorite at home over
NFL Recap and Future Game Previews
00:25:46
Speaker
Oklahoma State. Syracuse ranked number 18 and undefeated.
00:25:50
Speaker
hosting NC State at number 15, they're five and one. That is an elimination game basically in the ACC Atlantic division. Of course, NC State already has the loss to Clemson. They have to win out to remain in the conversation to win that division and would need some help. Later on in the afternoon, James Madison, as we mentioned, travels to Statesboro to take on Georgia Southern.
00:26:15
Speaker
James Madison freshly ranked at number 25 in the country. The fourth different Sunbelt team to be ranked in the last couple of years. Of course, Coastal and Louisiana were ranked at a time last year. Appalachian State's been ranked in the last couple of years. But the key to that is the last two times a freshly ranked team came into Paulson Stadium, they left with a loss and were ranked no more. Appalachian State, the last two times they were ranked
00:26:40
Speaker
They came to Statesboro the very next week and lost and fell out of the rankings. We'll see if the Eagles can right the ship. James Madison is going to run the football, want to run the football, want to run the football all day long in Statesboro. Can Georgia Southern tackle enough and not turn the ball over to make it a game on family weekend in Statesboro? We'll see.
00:26:59
Speaker
LSU in Florida used to be a big one. Still is for the Gators. Gators are only four and two and kind of lurking there in the SEC East, but still has some work to do. They got LSU and they take the week off before the cocktail party against Georgia. Always interesting that they got A&M, then South Carolina, then Vandy. So Florida has the meat kind of their SEC schedule out of the way, except minus Georgia. But that trip to Kyle Field will be tough and then South Carolina coming in there.
00:27:26
Speaker
They finish up with a trip at Nashville before they play Florida State. Interesting to see how the Gators can kind of turn things around a little bit and get back in the conversation at least for an Eastern Division championship. Clemson goes to Florida State. Clemson 6-0, Florida State 4-2. Mississippi State goes to Kentucky.
00:27:46
Speaker
Mississippi State looks to continue their good run here lately. They're five and one, Kentucky four and two, Stanford and Notre Dame. That's always a fun game to watch up in South Bend. And USC and Utah, a big one in the Pac-10. That's an eight o'clock game. Utah, a three and a half point favorite at home. Very interesting, very interesting. North Carolina and Duke and football.
00:28:12
Speaker
Yeah, not really fun to watch. North Carolina has no defense. They have a lot of offense, but they have no defense. And the late game special for all you gamblers out there, 1159 Eastern time, Nevada at Hawaii. No line on that. So hopefully they'll be aligned by 1159 on Saturday night. So a good, good week of college football coming up every week of college football is good. Looking at the NFL.
00:28:43
Speaker
The big story out of this past week was the no call, or the call that was not a call, that should not have been made, Garrett, Jared, look at him. Jared, what was his name? Greater Jared, yeah, that's it. I've watched it a million times. With the roughing the passer penalty against Tom Brady, which was in no way, shape or form,
00:29:11
Speaker
roughing the passer Patrick Mahomes was roughed 10 times worse or tackled 10 times harder on Monday night and the call was not made. So why don't you just put flags around Tom Brady's waist and call it what it is flag football when Tom Brady's playing. I don't care if he's the greatest of all time, but that took
00:29:35
Speaker
the ball game potentially away from the Atlanta Falcons. Of course, the Falcons had to go down and score if they made that stop, but that continued to drive and that allowed the Bucks to run the clock out and was just an awful, awful call. It was not a malicious hit.
00:29:50
Speaker
It was not a violent throwing to the ground. It was a tackle and rollover. If Jared had let go, he could have gotten up. He would have stayed alive, throwing the ball downfield, run or something. You have to bring the player to the ground. That's what he did. And the flag was called. If you somehow have not seen that play, look it up, watch it and
00:30:09
Speaker
It was insane. The Giants upset, I'm gonna say it's an upset. Giants upset the Packers over in London at 9.30. The 9.30 game, they won that 27.22. The Giants, they're 4-1. The Eagles are undefeated and the Cowboys are 4-1. The NFC East, formidable, formidable division. Steelers beat the Bills, 38-3. Steelers are, Bills are 4-1. Steelers are a mess.
00:30:36
Speaker
Chargers beat the Browns 30 to 28. The Browns are a mess. They're two and three. Losers are too strained. Vikings beat the Bears. Patriots all over the line. Saints beat the Seahawks. Jets over the Dolphins. Titans over the commanders. Texans over the Jags in what was a very boring game. Of course, we got to have the watch that here in Southeast Georgia on television because we're in the quote Jacksonville TV market. Oh man.
00:31:04
Speaker
What an awful, awful football game that was. Panthers fall to the 49ers. Their coach gets fired. He will have a job in college somewhere next year. I'm not sure, but Matt Rule.
00:31:17
Speaker
Mark it down, we'll have a job coaching football on a college campus this time next year. Panthers lose 37-15 to the Niners who look really good. Debo Samuel is so good. And Jimmy G starting to play a little bit better too. The Rams lose the Cowboys 22-10. Eagles, as I said, remain undefeated 20-17. Ravens beat the Bengals 19-17. And then the Chiefs held on against the Raiders. Raiders went for too late, didn't get it. Lost by one 30-29.
00:31:47
Speaker
some week six marquee games. The Thursday night game's a snoozer. Bears and commanders, no thank you. 49ers travel to Atlanta to take on the Dirty Birds at one o'clock. Patriots and Browns.
00:32:02
Speaker
No thanks. Jets and Packers. Packers should win that, although Aaron Rodgers a little banged up, may not play. Jaguars at the Colts, Vikings at Dolphins, Bengals at Saints, Ravens at Giants, Bucks at Steelers, Panthers at Rams, Bills at the Chiefs, Sunday afternoon 425. Man, what a ball game. That's going to be Sunday afternoon, Sunday night, Cowboys in Philly. What a weekend. What a sports weekend in Philadelphia.
00:32:32
Speaker
What a sports weekend, Friday night, Friday afternoon, game three of the NLDS, Saturday afternoon, game two of the NLDS, Sunday afternoon or Sunday afternoon, potentially game five back in Atlanta of the NLDS, Sunday night, eight o'clock NBC, Philly host the Cowboys for first place in the NFC East. What a time to be alive in Philadelphia. Hopefully.
00:32:57
Speaker
