i spoke to coach brett brown about this situation. the first time he showed a lot of frustration. >> different weak moments, you know, you get a little bit frustrated, but when you really sort of look at your purpose of trying to take some punches and hits in order to move the program forward, you know, i'm not 30 years old. um, i'm fine, and i really believe in what we're doing. >> it's really really hard to believe when these things keep keep happening. some more news from ben simmons as you know he's already out for the season. but he had a procedure done today that hopefully will promote some healing. he'll be back to work and back on the court in a week and also the released andrew bogut. they acquired him via trade. he's probably going sign with the cleveland cavaliers. and have a shot for championship team. now let's go to the phillies and the tampa bay -- listen, franco is killing it. he didn't play well today. he's killing his spring traini training. third homer of spring training. but the phillies go owes on to lose, seven-t
