The Phillies were 4-3 against the Cardinals this year and will have Wheeler and Nola ready to go! Aaron Judge made with his 62nd home run, passing Roger Maris for the AL home run single season record! What a historic year for baseball it has been!The Eagles continue to soar as they remain the only undefeated time in the NFL and sit atop the power rankings!http://speakingofsportspod.com/https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sportshttps://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPod http://speakingofsportspod.com/https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sportshttps://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPodhttps://www.instagram.com/speaking_of_sports/https://www.tiktok.com/@speakingofsports

The Phillies are hanging on for dear life with their Wild Card lead down to 0.5 games with 8 games remaining. Fresh of four straight losses and back-to-back losses against the Cubs, the Phillies desperately need a win. Meanwhile, the fierce battle of the NL East continues between the Mets and Braves, both fighting for the division lead and the critical #2 playoff seed which gets a first round bye and avoids the Dodgers until the NLCS. On Friday, the Mets head to Atlanta for what will perhaps be the most important series of the year for both teams. Albert Pujols made history with his 700th homerun and joins the most prestigious list in baseball with only 3 other members – Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, and Babe Ruth. Last but not least, Aaron Judge just tied Roger Maris with 61 home runs. It took Judge 7 games to hit this historic homerun, but with 7 games remaining for the Yankees, pressure is surely building for this year’s MVP lock. Should we also mention that Judge is also battling for the AL Triple Crown, with the deciding factor being batting average as Judge is currently barely ahead as he battles Luis Arraez (both players hitting .313). Only 12 Triple Crowns have ever been achieved, the last in 2012 by Miguel Cabrera, the next closest goes all the way back to 1967. Best of luck to Aaron Judge as he fights for these two historic achievements. http://speakingofsportspod.com/https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sportshttps://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPod http://speakingofsportspod.com/https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sportshttps://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPodhttps://www.instagram.com/speaking_of_sports/https://www.tiktok.com/@speakingofsports

Aaron Judge, currently at 60 Home Runs, is ready to make history as he continues one of the best seasons in MLB history. Judge is hitting .462 in September over 86 PA as he makes baseball look like a slowpitch softball league. The Phillies continue to hold the 3rd Wild Card spot but have little room for error. With 10 straight away games to end the season, will the Phillies finish strong or will defensive woes punish them at the worst time?The Eagles kickoff the 2022 season with a stellar 2-0 record and an impressive Monday night win against the Vikings. Will this taleneted roster cement themselves as one of the best NFC teams led by Jalen Hurts?http://speakingofsportspod.com/https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sportshttps://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPod http://speakingofsportspod.com/https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sportshttps://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPodhttps://www.instagram.com/speaking_of_sports/https://www.tiktok.com/@speakingofsports

The NFL season has started and the Eagles came out hot, but is Jalen running to much and will that playstyle win in the postseason?The Phillies have a 93% chance to make the playoffs and finally end the drought. With a healthy lineup, they should prove to be very competitive in the postseason. Huge yet expected news came out recently severely limiting MLB shifts next season, despite many players wanting to keep the shift. Speaking of Sports does not think the MLB shift restrictions will have a material impact on batting averages yet time will tell!http://speakingofsportspod.com/https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sportshttps://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPod http://speakingofsportspod.com/https://twitter.com/Speak_of_Sportshttps://www.facebook.com/SpeakingofSportsPodhttps://www.instagram.com/speaking_of_sports/https://www.tiktok.com/@speakingofsports
