Weekend Sports Huddle with Tom, Hunter & Dave

WRSP Radio presents the 44th episode of the second season of Weekend Sports Huddle with co-hosts Tom Pollin, Hunter Hodes and producer Dave Holcomb.

The NHL playoffs have begun. The Pittsburgh Penguins got off to a blazing start in the battle of Pennsylvania, beating the Philadelphia Flyers, 7-0, in Game 1, but the Flyers responded with a resounding 5-1 victory in Game 2. The series shifts to the east side of the state for Game 3 on Sunday. Our hosts will review the first two games and then look ahead to how the next three games could shake out.

The Pirates-Cubs played their first series of the season this past week, and the Buccos took two of three at Wrigley Field. But the first-place Pirates aren't really the story. Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle made some negative comments about Cubs second baseman Javier Baez on Wednesday night, asking where is his "respect for the game?" 

As expected, that wasn't received too well from Baez and Cubs manager Joe Madden. Was Hurdle comments unfair or warrented after Baez flipped his bat following a lazy pop up in the second game of the series. Our hosts will all weigh in
