The Sixers wrapped up there 2025 draft by selecting Johni Broome in the 2nd round to join V.J. Edgecombe as a part of the Sixers draft class! One thing these two have in common are they are winners in college basketball. Is this philosophy of drafting winners a sign that the Sixers are making a culture change that we'll see as soon as next season?
The Phillies lack of batting prowess was the talk of the week as the Phillies only drove in 1 run in 27 innings! Yet Phillies GM Dave Dombrowski says it's unlikely they'll be aggressive in getting a new batter to this lineup. If Dombrowski and the Phillies don't secure a new batter how much criticism should they receive?
To add on to the idea that Rob Thomson may have lost the clubhouse it seems he's now feuding with another player. After feuding with Nick Castellanos last week, Max Keplar now spoke out against the manager for allegedly going back on his word about starting Keplar in left field everyday!
The Phillies finished off their rough week in Houston by being swept by the Astros. Dropping out of 1st place in the NL East again, and only scoring 1 run in 27 innings even with stellar pitching throughout the series. Could the problem be Rob Thomson and is his management not only running stale with the clubhouse but the fans too?
