The Phillies season has begun, which has many people across the region excited for a summer full of Phillies baseball. Sheil is joined by Anthony Dabbundo to discuss the Phils first series of action against the Texas Rangers. Did Cristopher Sanchez prove yet again that he’ll be in the mix for the Cy Young this season? How did rookie OF Justin Crawford look in the field and at the plate? Should the Phillies be concerned about Aaron Nola and Jesus Luzardo’s first outings of the season? Plus, the Sixers might’ve had their best victory of the season on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets with a fully healthy lineup. How dangerous can they be as the playoffs are quickly approaching?
