por Johnny Fisher & Kyle Fisher

Temporada 1

What a week for the Phillies. Cycles and homers and comeback wins! Plus we've got World Cup fever.

Brothers Johnny and Kyle Fisher were raised on Philly sports and are bringing their smart, passionate, no-nonsense analysis to the podcast world. This is the podcast for all Philly sports fans -- the diehards, the casuals, and everyone in between. In this episode, we talk about the Phillies wild 5-day stretch, starting with Saturday's huge win over the Mets when Kyle Schwarber hit 3 home runs -- including 2 in one inning -- and Bryce Harper hit for the cycle. And Kyle was there! Then both guys homered the next day and the Phils won the series. And after a loss in D.C. on Monday, they had an 8-run 9th inning on Tuesday for a huge comeback win, and the next night got a pinch-hit go-ahead home run from Derek Hill in the 9th for another come-from-behind victory. And both comebacks came with two outs. And then we talk about the World Cup. We've got the fever! Team USA is looking good and things are lining up nicely for the red, white and blue. And Kyle was in the house when Brazil played Haiti at the Linc last weekend, we'll get his recap. Finally, we debut our new segment called Glove Talk (name still under consideration).
