Sixers star Joel Embiid in attendance as Phillies close out Braves in NLDS

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid was in attendance as the Philadelphia Phillies close out the Atlanta Braves in Game 4 of the NLDS.

Red October has swept the City of Brotherly Love as the Philadelphia Phillies are making magic happen on the baseball diamond. The Phillies were on the verge of not even making the playoffs, but they earned the final playoff spot in the National League and are now off to the National League Championship Series.

After sweeping the St. Louis Cardinals in the Wild Card round, the Phillies finished off the defending World Series champions in the Atlanta Braves. The Phils got a 3-run homer from Brandon Marsh, then JT Realmuto delivered the first inside-the-park home run by a catcher in playoff baseball history, and Bryce Harper hitting an opposite field homer as Philadelphia eliminated the Braves by a score of 8-3 in Game 4.

The Philadelphia 76ers have been supporting their pro sports brethren throughout this run and Saturday was no different. Sixers star big man Joel Embiid was in attendance leading the rowdy crowd at Citizens Bank Park.

Multiple Sixers attend Game 3 of Phillies vs. Braves to show support

Multiple members of the Philadelphia 76ers attend Game 3 of the NLDS for the Philadelphia Phillies vs. Atlanta Braves.

The sports scene in Philadelphia is electric at the moment as the 76ers get set to begin the 2022-23 season on Tuesday while the Phillies are in the National League Divisional Series against the rival Atlanta Braves.

The Phillies hosted their first playoff game since 2011 on Friday in Game 3 of the series and after splitting the two games in Atlanta, had stolen home field advantage. The scene at Citizens Bank Park was on another level as the fans were extremely excited to have their team back for a playoff game.

The Phillies took Game 3 by a score of 9-1 thanks to a 3-run homer by Rhys Hoskins and a 2-run homer by Bryce Harper. That supported a strong outing by starter Aaron Nola as Philadelphia is now one win away from the League Championship Series.

A few members of the Sixers were in attendance on Friday after the team had practice. They showed their support for the local baseball team.

Sixers discuss excitement Philadelphia fans have for Phillies, Eagles

The Philadelphia 76ers discuss the excitement the city has for the Philadelphia Phillies and the Philadelphia Eagles.

CAMDEN, N.J. — The city of Philadelphia has some of the most passionate sports fans in the world. They are the definition of “ride-or-die” for their sports teams.

President Daryl Morey has already received a taste of that in his time with the franchise.

The fan base supports all of the city’s major professional sports teams and the excitement buzzing at the moment is focused on Major League Baseball’s Philadelphia Phillies and the National Football League’s Philadelphia Eagles.

The Phillies play their first home playoff game in 11 years on Friday. The Eagles are the last unbeaten team in the NFL, and they face the rival Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. On top of that, the Sixers begin their season on Tuesday with the rival Boston Celtics.

“I’ve been through this before and we’ve all seen where we won all at the same time,” said coach Doc Rivers. “The energy in the city is amazing right now. You walk the streets or drive the streets and you see Phillies jerseys, Sixers jerseys, Eagles jerseys. It’s just fun, but now we just got to keep doing well. That’s the key.”

Rivers also takes some pointers from coaches in other sports. For example, he likes the discipline needed to play football and the execution that is in baseball on a regular basis.

“I take all the time,” said Rivers. “Just little things coaches say after a game. I take the most from football because I just I just respect it. The execution of it. You think about it, 11 guys, and the guy says ‘on three’ and (expletive), you can’t move. It’s just the discipline to play football is absolutely amazing.”

Rivers then expanded into baseball.

“Baseball, their execution, the double plays and the backing up, doing the little things,” he continued. “There was a play the other day where, a Jeter-ish play where the first baseman came all the way to the home plate to back up. They hadn’t done that all year and yet the one time they needed it, he was there. It’s a lot of stuff out of sports. It’s why I love it.”

Tyrese Maxey has constantly supported the other Philadelphia teams, and on Thursday, he was at the opener for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League.

“The Union was lit,” said Maxey. “Phillies was lit because I got to throw out the first pitch. The Flyers was lit because it was my first time at a hockey game. The Eagles this Sunday will be pretty lit.”

It will be up to the Sixers to take the success of the Phillies and the Eagles and take it with them into their season on Tuesday against the Celtics.

Joel Embiid, Sixers react to Phillies eliminating Cardinals in NL Wild Card

Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers react to the Phillies eliminating the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Wild Card.

While the Philadelphia 76ers are in the middle of preparing for the upcoming 2022-23 season, the Philadelphia Phillies of MLB are marching on in their postseason run.

The Phillies, in the playoffs for the first time since 2011 after earning the final Wild Card spot in the National League, faced off against the St. Louis Cardinals in the Wild Card round. After an incredible rally where they scored six runs in Game 1 of the series, they officially eliminated the Cardinals on Saturday with a 2-0 win to move on to the NLDS to take on the defending champion Atlanta Braves.

Joel Embiid and the Sixers have been following along with the Phillies throughout their run to the postseason and after the final out settled into Edmundo Sosa’s glove, Embiid and the Sixers took to Twitter to give their support to the Phils. The Sixers will be looking to use this momentum as something they can use for their future playoff run.

3 MLB managers who could be the next to lose their jobs after the Phillies fired Joe Girardi

Who needs to step it up before they join Joe Girardi on the curb?

The 2022 MLB coaching carousel is officially off and spinning.

Joe Girardi became the first manager to his lose his job this season as the Philadelphia Phillies decided enough was enough on Friday. It’s as close to a full reset as the Phillies could’ve made at the moment. Along with Girardi, the team axed coaching assistant Bobby Meacham and promoted bench coach Rob Thomson to interim manager. Mike Calitri will take over Thomson’s former role.

It very likely won’t be the last time we see a coaching change this season. In recent years it’s typical to see two or three teams relieve their managers.

So who could be next to go in 2022? We’ve got three names already on the hot seat.
