On today’s episode of “Here's The Thing,” Michael Chromiak, Thomas Arnone, and former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Mitch Williams take a look at the Phillies series against the Washington Nationals including the Little League Classic, the biggest concerns are heading into the final months of the MLB season, and their upcoming battles with the San Francisco Giants and St Louis Cardinals. Sunday night, the Philadelphia Phillies, in the final game of a 3 game series against the Nationals, lost the Little League Classic and thus the series. The Phillies, fresh off splitting the 2 game series against the Toronto Blue Jays, were hoping to keep some momentum alive. That would all come to a halt Friday when they lost 8-7. Saturday however, the Phillies exploded late in the game to win 12-3. With the San Francisco Giants and St Louis Cardinals lined up for the week, can the Phillies hold on to the 2nd palace spot in the NL East? September is right around the corner and the MLB Regular Season is coming to a close. In a week where the Phillies played only five games, they managed to put up 32 runs while their opponents could only come up with 21. Yet the Phillies still managed to lose 3 out of the 5 games. Not exactly the week you’d expect from a playoff bound team. It leaves us all wondering one thing. Is the Phillies pitching a bigger concern than the offense? Let us know in the comments below. Moving on from the past, we look towards the future. Tonight the Giants walk into Citizens Bank Park to start a 3 game series. Aaron Nola is set to take on Scott Alexander in game 1,while Taijuan Walker and Michael Lorenzen are set to start the following two games. Can arguably the 3 greatest starters on this roster set the tone and give our offense the room to breathe? Can Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, and Nick Castellanos get some fire under their bats and take some pressure away from the Phillies pitchers? To round things out, Michael Chromiak and Mitch Williams are going to have a catch. Not literally…but Michael will be throwing some questions to Mitch who will fire back with some raw thoughts.

On this episode of “Agree 2 Disagree,” Thomas Arnone, Nick DelGozzo, Brian Wilson, and Greg Milakovic react and breakdown the Philadelphia Phillies vs the Washington Nationals.

The James Harden and Philadelphia Sixers saga continues as Harden continues to be vocal on social media about being wronged by the Sixers and Daryl Morey. The Philadelphia Eagles tied the Cleveland Browns, 18-18, on Thursday evening in game two of the NFL preseason. The Eagles host the Indianapolis Colts this Thursday for their third and final preseason home game. Join Thomas Arnone, Nick DelGozzo, Brian Wilson, and Greg Milakovic as they look back at the Phillies and Nationals game and weekend series. It is time for Rob Thomson to make Kyle Schwarber the Phillies everyday DH. Let the fellas know if you Agree or Disagree with that statement. The Phillies started the weekend off slowly by losing Friday night’s game in disappointing fashion and then going through the motions in Saturday’s game until the 7th inning. The Phillies offense was on the struggle bus until Nick Castellanos launched a 3 run home run to tie the game in the 7th inning. What happened in the 8th inning is still shocking but boy was it fun. Trea Turner started the scoring hitting a solo home run to lead off the 8th inning. Bryson Stott broke the game open by hitting a 3 run home run later in the inning, followed by another solo home run from Turner to cap the scoring in the 8th. The Phillies ended up winning 12-3. The fellas will give the latest update on the James Harden vs Philadelphia Sixers saga before briefly touching on the latest Eagles preseason game against the Browns. Finally, the guys will end the show as they always do with their Crumb of the Week segment.
