Fireworks on a Friday

Episode Summary

We have an explosive show for you today! The Sixers sign P.J. Tucker, Kevin Durant wants out of Brooklyn, and the Phillies are still 7.5 games behind the Mets.

Episode Notes

• Sixers signed P.J. Tucker to a 3-year deal for approximately 33 million dollars. Will his toughness and experience be the missing piece for the Sixers?
• The Phillies remain 7.5 games behind the Mets and rank around the middle of the pack for most stats. With Harper out for a while, can the Phillies stay in the playoff hunt? We don't think so. 
• Dodgers manager Dave Roberts thinks the NL West is the toughest division in baseball, but the numbers suggest otherwise!
• What is going on in Pittsburg? They have 7 former pitchers with a combined 193-80 record and 3.15 ERA - coaching or something else? 
• Kevin Durant wants out of Brooklyn, leaving Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons - wow!
• Lastly, on today's rants, we explain why the Phillies catchers' composite stats are still some of the best in baseball amongst other team catching stats!
