Phillies sweep the Reds while Eagles prepare for 2022 NFL season

The Phillies rebounded from losing three out of four to the New York Mets last weekend by completing a four-game sweep of the Cincinnati Red on Thursday Night.  The Phillies outscored the Reds 22-16 during the home series with a combination of timely hitting and solid pitching.  The Phillies now have three four-game series sweeps this year; The last time that happened was 1953!  However, the big news is the anticipated return of 2021 National League MVP Bryce Harper to the lineup and the concern of placing their Ace Starting Pitcher Zack Wheeler on the 15-day Injury List.  It’s bittersweet news heading into the weekend series with the Pittsburgh Pirates coming to town for three games as the Phillies hope to keep winning.

The Eagles are in Miami to finish their preseason play on Saturday night against the Dolphins.  None of the starters are expected to play but it’s exciting to watch the Birds on the gridiron and see some of the young players get those extra reps before the season starts!  Mark your calendars: The Locker Room with Billy Schweim will be Live at Yesterday's Creekside Tavern for every Sunday Eagles 1pm Kickoff game!! Come join in on all the Fun this season!

On Sunday’s show, Pete Thompson and 3-time All-Big Ten Linebacker and former NFL LB Brad Quast join me in the studio as we recap the weekend in sports.  Every Sunday we go “On the Mound with Tommy Greene” brought to you by Aaron Bada’s GSF Golf & Performance Center.  Tommy talks Phillies baseball week in review and gives his perspective on the Phillies as they continue the stretch run of the season to make the postseason.  Then Pete, Brad, and I will review the Eagles' Saturday night exhibition against the Dolphins.
