You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
In Detroit, A.J. Hinch is done playing it safe. After the Tigers gutted out a five to four ten-inning win over the Chicago White Sox Sunday, Hinch told his club it's time to get greedy. At thirty-three and forty-four, Detroit is still ten games under five hundred, but the energy in that clubhouse says they're not done pushing.
Meanwhile in Philadelphia, the Phillies are rolling into a four-game set in Washington carrying serious momentum. Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper both went deep Sunday night to dismantle the Mets, and now the fantasy world is taking notice too, with CBS Sports flagging Phillies hitters among the top sleeper matchups heading into week fourteen of the fantasy baseball season. Paul Goldschmidt and the Cardinals also get a mention, but right now Philadelphia is the hottest bat rack in baseball.
And shifting to the gridiron, the Eagles are making a strong case for the most talented roster in the NFL. Yahoo Sports broke down every first-round pick currently suiting up in Philadelphia, and the list is long. Howie Roseman has built something genuinely formidable, and with another season on the horizon, the Super Bowl conversation in Philly is already very much alive.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
