The official page of the 94WIP Midday Show with Joe Giglio and Hugh Douglas from 10a-2p every M-F.
"My gut feeling right now is the Phillies are going to beat the Braves. This team, right now, is on a mission. They're clicking on all cylinders. They've got a secret weapon in the bullpen that we saw last night. Their offense is clicking on all cylinders."
The Philadelphia Phillies are +148 in the National League Divisional Series, while the Braves are -184 favorites according to Fanduel Sportsbook.
“Last night they looked like a championship team. They got to go do it now, they've got a long way to go. But last year it always felt like they weren't really that great, they just were getting there. They looked last night like a team that I could see having a parade."
Sure, it’s only one game, but 94WIP’s Joe Giglio believes this year’s Phillies team looks more poised than last year’s team to actually win the World Series.
The King Swiftie Howard Eskin is in denial about Travis and Taylor:
"I don't think it's real. For one minute and thirty seven seconds? Come on, now.
"Come on, Swifties, you don't need to buy his jersey because she was at the game."
Travis Kelce reportedly gained over 300,000 social media followers and saw a 400-percent increase in his jersey sales after Sunday’s game, in which Swift sat with his mother at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
Strong comments from Seth Joyner on today’s show.
Seth Joyner disagrees with Ron Jaworski that Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has struggled early this season to read the defense
Nick Sirianni talked about the Eagles’ situation at running back and what went into the decision to keep Rashaad Penny off of the active roster in Week 1
"Off the field I think he's a great teammate that loves football and that's what you want," Sirianni told Joe Giglio and Eliot Shorr-Parks on Wednesday's 94WIP Midday Show. "That's what you want out of all of your guys...That shows itself every day. And obviously the play on the field was outstanding. He had an outstanding game, but that's one game and this is a long, long season. He's just got to keep showing up every day, keep putting in the work that he's putting in.”
Nick Sirianni talked about Jalen Carter’s impressive NFL debut on Sunday, where the Eagles’ No. 9 overall pick was the highest graded rookie in the league by Pro Football Focus.
Joe Giglio thinks Jonathan Gannon is now an all-time Philly villain. ESP disagreed.

Who had the best draft in the Midday Show fantasy league?
🚨HUGH & A🚨
Got something you want Hugh to ask Joe Giglio? What questions would you ask to get to know Joe? We’ll read the best on air today at 12:30pm!
Joe Giglio’s Phillies Mt. Rushmore: Steve Carlton, Mike Schmidt, Chase Utley, Bryce Harper.
What’s yours?
Harper, 30, hit his 300th career home-run on Wednesday in dramatic fashion at Citizens Bank Park, capping an incredible month of August where hit 10 home runs as the Phillies broke the team’s franchise record for home runs in a month with 59.
Chuck from Mount Airy took a bow on Wednesday’s 94WIP Midday Show, just hours after Bryce Harper called him out by name during his postgame press conference.
Better chance to win it all: Phillies or Eagles? 🤔
FanDuel Sportsbook has the Philadelphia Phillies at 20-1 to win the World Series and the Philadelphia Eagles at 8-1 to win the Super Bowl. Joe Giglio disagrees with the odds.
🔥🔥🔥
FanDuel Sportsbook has the Eagles as the NFC team with the shortest Super Bowl odds at 8-1, followed by the 49ers at 10-1 and the Cowboys at 13-1. The Lions are a distant fourth at 21-1.
Would you rather Trey Lance or Marcus Mariota as Jalen Hurts’ back up?
Lance is just 23-years-old and was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 draft. In 2022, Lance was named San Fran’s starter over Jimmy Garoppolo but he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 2.
Do you want the Eagles to trade for Jonathan Taylor? It was a heated debate on today’s show.
The Colts gave Taylor permission to seek a trade on Monday and Indianapolis is reportedly seeking a first-round pick, or multiple picks that are equal to a first-rounder in value.
Would Aaron Nola be part of your Wild Card playoff rotation if the season ended today?
Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola has allowed 18 earned runs and six home runs over his last five starts, pitching more than 5.1 innings in just one of those five starts.
Andy Reid on Jalen Hurts:
"Yeah, he's a good one. I'm happy for Howie [Roseman] and the staff there that they've got him. He's a good kid and he's a heck of a player. The Eagles are in good hands, man. Philadelphia will have an opportunity to win every year with him."
Andy Reid will join the show at 12p today.
If you could ask him one question, what would it be?
It’s time for a change.
After James Harden called 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey a “liar,” Hugh Douglas and Joe Giglio believe Philadelphia should fire Morey. Kyle Quinn disagrees.

Eagles DT Jordan Davis says he feels much more comfortable entering year two on the WIP Midday Show.
"Knowing what to expect, knowing how the day is laid out, knowing what to do in meetings, in practice...little things like that. It comes with time."
Philadelphia Eagles Training Camp is back and once again, 94WIP will be on the scene broadcasting live at the NovaCare Complex throughout the Summer.
"I'm on board with this. I think it's a good thing. If I was going to the game tonight I would stand up, I would clap, I would cheer for Trea Turner. He's obviously in a bad place...I think the standing O for Trea Turner is the right thing to do. Look, let's be real, this is probably going to be a long marriage...The best thing to do is try to help him make the most of it. Does it change anything? I don't know, probably not...I think this could be an opportunity for the city to show him, 'Hey, we still believe you can be a good player even though you have not been so far.'" -Joe Giglio
Turner was 1-16 with four strikeouts in four games vs. the Marlins. He also botched a ball at shortstop in extra innings on Wednesday, costing the Phillies a victory.
Dallas Goedert joined the show today to lay out his 2023 goals, big team expectations, and when he knew Jalen Hurts would be a star.
Philadelphia Eagles tight Dallas Goedert, 28, is entering his sixth NFL season. His highest catch/yardage total in one year is 58 catches (2019) and 830 (2021).
