@statmuse Still only one basketball in play.

@SportsRadioWIP The Phils only have 3 reliable starters - Wheeler, Sanchez & Luzardo. They will decide how far the Phils advance in the 2026 playoffs.

@WIPMiddayShow Mattingly is 65 years old, too late for a long term contract.

[john @phils_1964]

@NBCSPhilly @JimSalisbury215 Back in the day there were ZERO bullpen games.

1971- Baltimore Orioles, 4 pitchers 30 starts or more
All 4 won 20 games that season.

Mike Cuellar: 38 starts
Pat Dobson: 37 starts
Jim Palmer: 37 starts
Dave McNally: 30 starts ( missed five weeks-injury)

70 complete games too.

@WFANmornings 50 years ago, average MLB player earned 3.50 times the median U.S. household income.

Today, that multiple had exploded to 56.

Average person can no longer identify with MLB , or any other professional sport !

[john @phils_1964]

@SportsRadioWIP It's just timely hitting, doubtful this will continue.

Phil's batting average still not good.

Phil's 2026 batting avg , horrible with both mangers but slight better with Mattingly(4% higher).

MLB - .239 (lowest since 1968)
Don Mattingly- .228
Rob Thomson- .219

@Jimmyking35 Since 1954- only 7 countries have won the world cup.

2 from SA- Brazil, Argentina
5 from Eur- Spain, France, England, Italy, W.Germany(Germany)

Would be shocking if any other country outside of these 7 countries won the 2026 world cup.

@usopengolf No matter how many majors Clark wins, he will ALWAYS be remembered as the golfer who had a temper tantrum and then proceeded to destroy his locker at Oakmont.

[john @phils_1964]

@usopengolf As of now, only 3 golfers under par in the 3rd round.
Unless Clark collapses, will be a boring final round.

[john @phils_1964]

@NBCSports No one. Minimum 15mph wind, hitting to bubble greens , with landing spots about 1 square yard.

Last 2 hours of the day, winds predicted to subside. Huge advantage for the 2nd round leaders.

[john @phils_1964]

@usopengolf Only 6 LIV Golf players made the cut, none of them in contention to win .

Hatton (+2)
Johnson, Niemann (+3)
Canter,Surratt, Uihlen (+4)

Were paid millions of dollars upfront by LIV. Obviously lost their incentive to win .

@BenStiller Typical wealthy person(net worth $200M), won't purchase his own knicks tickets, expects everything for free.

[john @phils_1964]

@espn Dolan basically telling the ny media & fans, that the Knicks will NOT be a repeat nba champion.

[john @phils_1964]

@usopengolf Golf equipment has advanced so much in the last 25 years, this is the only way to keep the pros near par.

[john @phils_1964]

@finebaum 2026- college football has more off the field problems than the NFL.

[john @phils_1964]

@SpikeEskin No one that is affiliated with the Sixers should be allowed to attend a Phillies game - home or away.

[john @phils_1964]

@mcuban The Knicks should give you a 2026 world championship ring for trying to lowball Jalen Brunson and not resigning him (zero compensation) after the 2022 season.

[john @phils_1964]

@BenStiller How can you consider yourself a true Knicks fan-when you are given free front court tickets for every HOME game?

Even ROAD playoffs games are coordinated by publicists, league officials & the host franchise too.

When was the last time that you paid for a sporting event ?

[john @phils_1964]

@NBCSPhilly @Audi Only way it could get worse- if the Phils lost by a perfect game shutout !

[john @phils_1964]

@NBCSPhilly @Toyota Phils couldn't trade for a better player than a lifetime .227 backup ?
