The Pi Brew
We’re back with an all new Brew. Bryce Harper proved again why he’s a cool dude. Joel Embiid won a participation trophy. Should the Sixers make a play for Zach Lavine? The Bloodline added some more gold to their squad on Friday night. The NHL playoffs have had plenty of fireworks so far. We have a lot to get to, so let’s do this. It’s Brew time!
Bryce Harper is one chill dude
Bryce Harper liked a Phillies fan’s hat, so they switched 😅

Kid doesn’t catch the ball, so Dad runs to Twitter to cry and beg for handouts
Heartbreaking moment for my @MLB superfan 10 yr old son Jack last night @Phillies. He had been calling to @Cody_Bellinger all game & was thrilled when he finally threw a ball to him in the 9th. He was crushed when the ball went over his glove & an adult @dodgers fan grabbed it. pic.twitter.com/mOyvK81ssb

Let’s not do this
Philadelphia City Council passing a resolution naming Embiid MVP is somehow more embarrassing than anything the Sixers have done https://t.co/4OV7GFj9su

Should the Sixers go get Zach Lavine?
*If* the Sixers are serious about maxing someone out and it’s between Beal and LaVine, and the difference is having to include Tyrese Maxey in a Beal trade and not including him in a LaVine trade, the LaVine trade is the better path. https://t.co/TXxTvZhtdn
