Phillies Weekly BREAKDOWN & PREVIEW | Bryce Harper’s Return | Philadelphia Phillies News + Updates

Former Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Mitch “Wild Thing” Williams joins A2D Radio and Thomas Arnone for a brand new show called Here's The Thing. Williams pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies from 1991 to 1993 and would finish up his career in the Major Leagues in 1997 with the Kansas City Royals after brief stints with the Houston Astros and the California Angels (now known as the Los Angeles Angels). MLB All-Star right fielder Bryce Harper returned to the Philadelphia Phillies lineup on Tuesday after completing the fastest recovery from Tommy John surgery. Despite the return of Harper, the Phillies were swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers at the start of the week and would go on to lose two of the three games against the Boston Red Sox at home this weekend. The Phillies would take the last game of the series however after, Rob Thomson finally decided to move Kyle Schwarber out of the leadoff spot after going 0 for 20 which resulted in the Phillies securing a 6-1 victory. Mitch Williams and Thomas Arnone kick off their inaugural show by tackling the idea of whether or not permanently moving Bryce Harper to First Base once he is cleared is the right move. Let us know in the comments if you Agree or Disagree. Does the violent nature of how Bryce throws the baseball set up for another potential injury down the road? Given his experience, Mitch will discuss whether anyone on the team might be headed for a possible arm injury. It’s a new week for the Phillies as they get ready for a 2 game series at home against the Toronto Blue Jays and a 3 game series against the Colorado Rockies over the weekend. Tom and Mitch will take a look at the action for the week ahead and break down each potential match-up with the hopes that the Phillies can come out of this week with a winning record. The Philadelphia 76ers are tied 2 games apiece against the Boston Celtics following a thrilling game 4 all thanks to James Harden with the game-winning shot in overtime with only seconds to spare. With game 5 taking place later today, the guys will also discuss Joel Embiid and what this Sixers team needs to do to keep their playoff run alive.
