Everytime Judge smashes a homerun, it’s like he DoorDashed a big-fat meatball. What are these pitchers thinking? The Phillies need to preorder some of these meatballs.
I’m leaving for the Phillies season. Unless the next month goes disastrously I’m leaving the subreddit because I feel like I have to hold my promise.(I’ll still watch the games but I won’t post on the subreddit)

Anyone been to a Marlins’ game in loan depot park? I might extend a work trip to see them in September! Was curious what best sections to sit are, I see tickets are wildly cheap!
I went in August last year. Sat right behind the dugout for mad cheap. It’s the worst ballpark I’ve visited but at least it has a roof because the heat in Miami is no joke.
I went in April 2023 - we sat 2nd row first base side with food and beverage service, for like $35. Drinks were reasonably priced if I remember correctly. Only had a hot dog so can't comment on the food. Wasn't there to watch the Phils - I randomly spotted the stadium out of our hotel room window and was like hey! I wonder if they're playing at home.. and the rest is history.
As you can see there were dozens of people there.

Yeah i went in April 2019. Bryce’s first month with the team. It was the most bland environment id ever been for a pro sporting event. Until later that year I went to a random game in Tampa vs the Tigers. I think I paid like $30 for front row about 75 feet to the right of first base which of course was near Bryce on the right field line
I am legitimately baffled by this rangers orioles game being blackout on mlb.tv but i can access it on youtube tv.
Im in Indiana .
Mlb.tv is such a trash product and how they dont have a yearly class action lawsuit is beyond me.
The Roku games are blackout free on MLB.tv. You can even watch them in the local market. It's part of that contract. The ESPN games are blacked out in the US and [this list of international countries](https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/help-center/blackout-espn-sunday-night-baseball).
Money.
Also Sunday morning leadoff is a MLB network production. Sunday night baseball on espn, mlb on fox and Friday night baseball on Apple TV are produced by their respective companies. That might not be the answer but could be part of it.
I thought so, but couldn’t remember. That may not even be part of it. Could just be contract moeny or somthing. I just know I read somthing saying Roku games were basically mlb Network games.
Yeah and I’d venture to say that most mlbtv games are watched on rokus
It’s worth noting that you can’t watch mlb network on mlbtv except when they simulcast big inning on both
Im always in Philadelphia market no matter where i am. Cus Youtube tv is cool like that.
As long as i sign into my account at residence in PA once every 2-3 months it registers my home market on the road.
So apparently Joan Jett was interviewed during an O’s game the other day as she’s a massive fan. She mentioned that she tracks games on her phone WHILE she’s playing concerts. And that is just the coolest shit ever.
I didn’t realize how much she’s recognized as a huge O’s fan. So they have her which is totally badass and got me thinking that we have…Miles Teller? 😬

We have the cast from it’s always sunny, that’s all we need.
Oh yeah there was a movie he was in I think in the late 90s or 2000s. I think he may have also directed it. I forget what it was about but I remember his character watching TV with someone else, and he goes "fuckin Phillies". I always thought that was neat.
Edit: the woodsman. I saw it in the theater but still have zero recollection of watching it except that scene.
I actually engaged Szymborski on Twitter about that and I can’t remember the exchange. I mean I feel like it showed him top 10 and I still don’t believe that. Doesn’t mean he’s not gonna be good.
Is there a way you can find the exchange and link it to me? I was interested in what he said, and I couldn't find it.
I wanted to ask while there is a very low change someone would check this thread, but you can also PM me if you want.
It seemed awfully quick in his career being one year removed from the draft
In hindsight i later saw some dude arguing that Gunnar was top 10 in all of baseball last year at 21 and he was arguably not wrong (this all happened mostly before Gunnar has dominated this season)
There are a good number of outstanding players 25 and under right now
Yeah. I don't know if that is an effect of players aging more "normally" now or what, but there was something I saw where the aging curve is "back to normal," where your best years will be ARB and pre-ARB.
But even so, I agree there are a lot of young studs. But I also think I felt that before yet I can't remember.
I will never be in this situation, but I think the move (for any opposing home run) is to fake the throw onto the field, then hand it to a kid of the opposing team.
Unrelated to baseball but I find it too wild not to mention to a bunch of people- I started pirating comics off my laptop, and I'm currently reading Superman #1. In it, *Superman saves a man from being assassinated before he can stand trial for the murder of Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy who had an affair with a famous short-haired blonde actress/singer.*
Sound familiar???
This came out in 1939. . .
Wild.
I love the art style of older comics too. And yeah he was still only "leaping tall buildings in a single bound". That point in the comics was really weird honestly, in good and bad ways. Superman was both *way* more overpowered, and way less. Like he can only jump 1/8th of a mile in old comics (which ik sounds crazy given that is powerful in itself, but this is a character who can break through the time space barrier with fast flying now), but he also had the ability to temporarily shape-shift his facial features in order to pretend to be another person.
Did Kennedy have a secretary named Lincoln?
If you say yes then I’m 100% convinced that I’m a brain in a jar and I can control the Phillies winning the 2024 World Series
I have a subscription to a comic place through something I am not even sure how. I just realized while I read a fairly decent amount of comics, I never actually read Action Comics #1.
I also know that reading comics on my kindle sucks, but it is my preferred method. I might buy a colored e-ink display just for comics soon.
I used to have one but it broke and I read way more novels and textbooks so I preferred the e-ink.
There is a colored e-ink monitor I am really really eyeing.
You might be convincing me. I have to find another purpose, though. I don't listen to music.
I had a Google tablet I never used, though. Then my wife loves it.
Yep. I find it just annoying almost. It never enhanced my life. I can tolerate music linked to events in my life with nostalgia. That's about it though.
Counter point.

I don’t have dividers so I use the bags
I don't have space for physical copies of all the books and such I read.
We only have two bookshelves we can fit all completely full. Especially since I need physical copies of books for my field.
I found this nice box on amazon to store them in. It’s like those used for files but slightly slimmer. Im mostly buying physical books cause I really like the artist’s style. It’s very unique style for a marvel comic.

been waiting to use this one. no better day than today
Oh look…not only did our division lead not evaporate before our eyes but we are once again the best team in baseball by two full games
How could we gain on everyone when we can’t win games??? I’m so confused
people are acting like we're sinking. we won 3 series in a row and now a 4 game split (which we likely would have won had we not lost our 2 biggest bats).
They’ll be more if they don’t win the first game against the cubs
Edit-not from me. Sure, watching them struggle yesterday wasn’t fun but I don’t think they’re dead in the water even if they do have a slump
i try to be very thoughtful and deliberate in what I post because i respect that reddit comments may potentially impact the game. as an example my comment about the Braves broadcaster annoying Rowdy Tellez by taking every opportunity to remind him of his long slump leading to a (multi-run) home run.
If fun police means calling out the absolute dumbest shit I’m good with the label. Shockingly the downvotes tend to agree with me but he obviously doesn’t seem to care about those
Am I dumb for just not understanding what the new rules for the derby are

At the start of 2023, I wasn’t a big fan of him beginning of season. After his first hr in Houston, I said “if he hits another I’ll get a jersey”. The next day he did. That week I went to the park to get the jersey. When I looking in machine he wasn’t even listed as a roster player. I had pay extra $10 for “custom” name. Now I wear to most games I go to.
Last week on opening night, before the game started I walked up to the store and in the corner of my eye I saw a bright red jersey on the rack of the authentics stand. It was a team issued Kody Clemens jersey. It was calling me.
So I now also have a team issued Kody Clemens red jersey.
I can try and explain, it doesn't seem that complicated.
There are 3 rounds. 1st round the top 4 (total home runs) advance. They then use a bracket in the 2nd round, were the number 1 seed plays the number 4 seed, and number 2 plays the number 3. As in head to head.
Then the winners take on each other in the final.
As for the outs and rounds, there are 40 pitches in the 1st round and 2nd round, plus 3 bonus 'outs' after. So essentially after the 40 pitches, you have 3 outs left, and if you don't hit a HR, it's an out.
The finals is only 27 pitches. Same bonus round.
EDIT: And it's a compromise between the 2 versions I feel. You still get the outs part of the competition, but you also get a set number of attempts. It seems fair to me.
Like
3 minutes. Ok I get that.
40 pitches. Ok. I get there’s a pitch limit because people have been rushing extra pitches in cuase of time.
3 bonus outs. What does that mean. It doesn’t say there’s “x outs and you’re out” so what is that.
It means after 40 pitches, you get 3 outs. AS in you hit until you get 3 outs. As in you hit until you don't a HR 3 times after 40 pitches.
In case thats confusing, I'll try another way:
You get pitched 40 times, you hit 5 HR. Now you have to hit a HR or it's an out, and you get 3 outs.
There are no outs prior to the 40 pitches.
Obviously you wouldn’t have any idea about the Phillies two years ago
And anyone can find 10 moron comments from you every day
Well except when you said you were leaving and weren’t coming back. Until you did.
The new left field in Camden Yards is the only time I’ve looked at a park and said “that should be illegal”
It is 384-398 feet to left field with a 13 foot tall wall means you have to pull a ball at least 400 feet to hit a home run. Insane.

Imagine dumbass comments. Where should we start? How about a post from a game where he goes 3-5 and has the two out winning hit?
https://www.reddit.com/r/phillies/comments/1ds66di/comment/lb0slsn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Ev66 easy. I figure I miss half his comments because they’re deleted and they all get deleted anyway and he posts about 5% as much
I’ve legit never seen a worse poster on here
I probably should but I’ve never blocked a single poster in ten years or however long it’s been. No doubt he’s the worst in the history of this sub since I’ve been here so maybe it will happen.
Yup best record in the national league and also best record in all of baseball by 2 games even after the split and the Braves didn't gain any ground either lol
Edit: lol who the hell is downvoting me for saying the Phillies are the best team in baseball on a Phillies sub? This sub is confusing sometimes.
Phillies don't have the most runs scored anymore, but they do have the best run differential (ties with Baltimore who are currently losing) and have allowed the fewest runs of all the teams.
The Cubs are a surprisingly bad team, though their starting pitching is mostly solid. It’s not unreasonable to hope to win 2-of-3 against them, even with our severely weakened lineup.
In baseball, catcher's interference occurs when a catcher or other fielder prevents a batter from legally swinging at a pitch. This can happen when the catcher is too close to home plate and the batter's bat hits the catcher's glove as the batter swings. It can also happen on attempted steals, when the catcher moves their body or mitt forward to catch the ball quickly.
Marchan was positioned too closely and the batter hit his glove on the swing
I think today is an outlier, but I also don’t honestly believe that he is one of the best pitchers in baseball. I think he’s probably the best number 3 and would be a lot of teams’ number 1 or 2 though.
Still could win the cy young though. A lot worse pitchers than ranger have strung together crazy seasons and won it.
Can whoever it was who made that delicious looking chicken pot pie awhile ago and posted the picture please message me the recipe. I'm dreaming about it.
got to think they’re hungry for starting pitchers. on the plus side this suggests they are vulnerable and beatable in the playoffs and we may have a shot at them when we face them. on the other hand the Giants perhaps won’t go away, just yet at least.
> on the plus side this suggests they are vulnerable and beatable in the playoffs
I'd say them being frequently eliminated early suggested that already
They’re not even a playoff team as it stands right now. Maybe they make it, but I’m not going to worry about a team that as of right now wouldn’t even be in the dance. I *will* worry about whoever we face in the playoffs because so much of them are just a coin toss, though, of course.
I think they needed the confidence of a win without some of their top bats, and after some recent losses. Missing offense doesn't explain all the errors but team-wide confidence / mood does.
The more I listen to Castellanos's interviews, the more I hate the "himbo" narrative that /r/Phillies gave him.
I honestly think he is pretty thoughtful with his answers. He also just don't care about the media that much and will refuse to answer "clown questions."
I think he actually cares quite a bit about what the media says and his passive aggressive non answers to “clown Questions” are very intentional. But, tomato-tomahhhto.
More so because his son is old enough to hear it.
I meant it morso that he doesn't care for the media. Basically sees them as a distraction and "harmful". Not that he doesn't care what the media says.
I should have clarified.
I found his playoff interviews, and probably some others, where he would be all deadpan and non-cooperative kind of off-putting, but his interviews this season have been mostly endearing.
Ahhh i think about that one all the time, and really couldn't read it correctly. Was he just being dick? It came off that way. But I dunno, I don't feel like he is. Probably just sick of the same old questions and he's one of the few guys who doesn't run through a Jeter routine to answer them
With 5 errors, over a dozen left on base, and failure to score an insurance run in the 8th with no outs and runners on first and third, this will most likely be their worst played win of the season.
Everytime Judge smashes a homerun, it’s like he DoorDashed a big-fat meatball. What are these pitchers thinking? The Phillies need to preorder some of these meatballs.
I’m leaving for the Phillies season. Unless the next month goes disastrously I’m leaving the subreddit because I feel like I have to hold my promise.(I’ll still watch the games but I won’t post on the subreddit)

I hope there’s cake and candles in the clubhouse for Trea
I prefer them to kick ass, but nailbiters do make for a great Sunday!!
On random internet surfing I learned Australia’s national ice hockey team has a kangaroo on its sweater.
That sounds so Australia.
HBD, Trea, you've earned back wearing your jersey.

We didn’t play in Miami in April ‘23
You said you weren't returning.
Dang I didn’t read the whole thing , I’m an idiot
Do you know how to read, Feisty? I literally said I wasn't there to watch the Phils
I’m an idiot and didn’t read the whole thing
They played the Twins. It was the most boring 1-0 game I've sat through in my life. One home run, 6 hits total.
I guess it could’ve been worse home runs are exciting
Yeah i went in April 2019. Bryce’s first month with the team. It was the most bland environment id ever been for a pro sporting event. Until later that year I went to a random game in Tampa vs the Tigers. I think I paid like $30 for front row about 75 feet to the right of first base which of course was near Bryce on the right field line
I remember that series I don’t really have anything else to add just letting you know
You’re a real one for that
No. But based off the Broadcast you wont have a problem sitting wherever you want lol 😂. Seems like a terrible place to go to a game.
It is. Place sucks. It’s cavernous.
Coworkers have been but aren’t fans. They said they remember it being humid and very quiet haha
Rangers cooked dem Orioles.
First cycle of the year too
I am legitimately baffled by this rangers orioles game being blackout on mlb.tv but i can access it on youtube tv. Im in Indiana . Mlb.tv is such a trash product and how they dont have a yearly class action lawsuit is beyond me.
It's the national game. Sunday night baseball. Right? So it is always blacked out.
But if Sunday Morning Leadoff isn’t blackout then why is Sunday Night National?
The Roku games are blackout free on MLB.tv. You can even watch them in the local market. It's part of that contract. The ESPN games are blacked out in the US and [this list of international countries](https://www.mlb.com/live-stream-games/help-center/blackout-espn-sunday-night-baseball).
Different contracts.
Money. Also Sunday morning leadoff is a MLB network production. Sunday night baseball on espn, mlb on fox and Friday night baseball on Apple TV are produced by their respective companies. That might not be the answer but could be part of it.
Fox Saturday night games are available on mlbtv
I thought so, but couldn’t remember. That may not even be part of it. Could just be contract moeny or somthing. I just know I read somthing saying Roku games were basically mlb Network games.
Yeah and I’d venture to say that most mlbtv games are watched on rokus It’s worth noting that you can’t watch mlb network on mlbtv except when they simulcast big inning on both
Another reason the NfL is the superior brand.
If your not in Green Bay or Philadelphia tv market area you won’t be able to watch the Brazil game without Peacock
Im always in Philadelphia market no matter where i am. Cus Youtube tv is cool like that. As long as i sign into my account at residence in PA once every 2-3 months it registers my home market on the road.
So apparently Joan Jett was interviewed during an O’s game the other day as she’s a massive fan. She mentioned that she tracks games on her phone WHILE she’s playing concerts. And that is just the coolest shit ever.
You gotta respect that level of fandom
I didn’t realize how much she’s recognized as a huge O’s fan. So they have her which is totally badass and got me thinking that we have…Miles Teller? 😬
We totally gotta upgrade our celebrity fan game
Bradley Cooper, Amanda Seyfried, Tina Fey.

Kevin Bacon, tho Phillies are good at this, I'm realizing
Oh yeah there was a movie he was in I think in the late 90s or 2000s. I think he may have also directed it. I forget what it was about but I remember his character watching TV with someone else, and he goes "fuckin Phillies". I always thought that was neat. Edit: the woodsman. I saw it in the theater but still have zero recollection of watching it except that scene.
Well I know 1 super famous person and his wife who’s are Phillies fans. I just don’t think they’re too popular among a lot of the country right now.
So they’re fans sure but Joan Jett was blending into the background of the 2023 team photo level fan
We have Aubrey Plaza, so I'm good
Tim McGraw chose Phillies over Mets so that’s also pretty cool.
We're getting there
Taylor swift obviously is the biggest, if she is actually a fan.
Bruce Willis, whatever is left of him, and Jeremy Piven, whatever is left of his career. Also Will Smith and Tina Fey E: Art Garfunkel, too
Holy shit Wyatt Langford got the first cycle ever on Sunday night baseball He got off to a rough start but he is a fucking BEAST
Feisty on the thread saying it was a cycle watch saying it wouldn’t happen. That’s when I knew it was guaranteed.
Didn't you make fun of ZiPS for projecting Wyatt Langford to be a top player in 3 years?
https://www.reddit.com/r/phillies/comments/1aczd63/comment/kjykgwe/
I am shocked I remembered that and I remembered his "spot".
I actually engaged Szymborski on Twitter about that and I can’t remember the exchange. I mean I feel like it showed him top 10 and I still don’t believe that. Doesn’t mean he’s not gonna be good.
Is there a way you can find the exchange and link it to me? I was interested in what he said, and I couldn't find it. I wanted to ask while there is a very low change someone would check this thread, but you can also PM me if you want.
It had him around 18 bunched around a lot of different people IIRC. Where a slight decrease drops him by a lot.
It seemed awfully quick in his career being one year removed from the draft In hindsight i later saw some dude arguing that Gunnar was top 10 in all of baseball last year at 21 and he was arguably not wrong (this all happened mostly before Gunnar has dominated this season) There are a good number of outstanding players 25 and under right now

But even so, I agree there are a lot of young studs. But I also think I felt that before yet I can't remember.
Soto and Acuna coming up in 2018 there were quite a few IIRC. I mean for fucks sake 6 years later they’re both still young
I think I know 1 card for tomorrow
Trea Turner game winning birthday hit! Lol but yeah this too
What a call right before it too
Texas just cooking the Os. Also Idc how much you boo me, I’m not throwing back a cycle HR ball.
I will never be in this situation, but I think the move (for any opposing home run) is to fake the throw onto the field, then hand it to a kid of the opposing team.
Unrelated to baseball but I find it too wild not to mention to a bunch of people- I started pirating comics off my laptop, and I'm currently reading Superman #1.

Jack Kennedy who had an affair with a famous short-haired blonde actress/singer.* Sound familiar??? This came out in 1939. . . Wild.
Did Superman fly at that point or was he still only jumping. I prefer the the art style of gold/silver age comics to modern art.
I love the art style of older comics too. And yeah he was still only "leaping tall buildings in a single bound". That point in the comics was really weird honestly, in good and bad ways. Superman was both *way* more overpowered, and way less.

Did Kennedy have a secretary named Lincoln? If you say yes then I’m 100% convinced that I’m a brain in a jar and I can control the Phillies winning the 2024 World Series
If that happened, I would be fully convinced that every conspiracy theory ever was true.
If you're a brain in a jar, you ain't controlling shit
Unless he's the brain from those shorts that used to come on after Dexter's Laboratory. Then he controls a purple bear. :p

I don't like my Kindle e-reader for comics but the Fire HD 10 tablet I bought is perfect for them.
I used to have one but it broke and I read way more novels and textbooks so I preferred the e-ink. There is a colored e-ink monitor I am really really eyeing.
I bought the Fire HD 10 as a remote control for my music system but I also use it for comics. That's it's entire purpose now.
You might be convincing me. I have to find another purpose, though. I don't listen to music. I had a Google tablet I never used, though. Then my wife loves it.
No music at all? That breaks my heart.
Yep. I find it just annoying almost. It never enhanced my life. I can tolerate music linked to events in my life with nostalgia. That's about it though.

I don't have space for physical copies of all the books and such I read. We only have two bookshelves we can fit all completely full. Especially since I need physical copies of books for my field.
I found this nice box on amazon to store them in. It’s like those used for files but slightly slimmer. Im mostly buying physical books cause I really like the artist’s style. It’s very unique style for a marvel comic.
Totally wild that two of the greatest San Francisco Giants died within roughly a week of each other

Ya really didnt have to replace the text on this meme. Just sayin
I saw it on twitter haha, didn’t make it myself
Josh Smith is a hell of a utility player
Oh look…not only did our division lead not evaporate before our eyes but we are once again the best team in baseball by two full games How could we gain on everyone when we can’t win games??? I’m so confused
people are acting like we're sinking. we won 3 series in a row and now a 4 game split (which we likely would have won had we not lost our 2 biggest bats).
Pretty ignorant if people are saying this considering we have the best pitching staff in the league.
I mean it’s only been 3 games against the marlins. Plenty of time before the big bats come back. I hope this comment doesn’t age poorly
As poorly as the ones who said we’d lose the division lead in a week? And there were plenty
They’ll be more if they don’t win the first game against the cubs Edit-not from me. Sure, watching them struggle yesterday wasn’t fun but I don’t think they’re dead in the water even if they do have a slump
Shhhh, don’t jinx it
Reddit comments affect baseball game outcomes in your world
i try to be very thoughtful and deliberate in what I post because i respect that reddit comments may potentially impact the game. as an example my comment about the Braves broadcaster annoying Rowdy Tellez by taking every opportunity to remind him of his long slump leading to a (multi-run) home run.
You may be a Nick Pivetta Enjoyer but you are also a renowned Fun Police, top of your class
If fun police means calling out the absolute dumbest shit I’m good with the label. Shockingly the downvotes tend to agree with me but he obviously doesn’t seem to care about those
Rangers got batting practice going rn
Orioles are getting hammered by the rangers
Am I dumb for just not understanding what the new rules for the derby are https://preview.redd.it/5tdumqgqys9d1.jpeg?width=1224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=03836f44b037a747b0e3e43809f41bcbb9e4155b
How’s your Kody jersey
At the start of 2023, I wasn’t a big fan of him beginning of season. After his first hr in Houston, I said “if he hits another I’ll get a jersey”. The next day he did. That week I went to the park to get the jersey. When I looking in machine he wasn’t even listed as a roster player. I had pay extra $10 for “custom” name. Now I wear to most games I go to.
That’s a fantastic story and glad you kept up with your promise.
Last week on opening night, before the game started I walked up to the store and in the corner of my eye I saw a bright red jersey on the rack of the authentics stand. It was a team issued Kody Clemens jersey. It was calling me. So I now also have a team issued Kody Clemens red jersey.
Lol dude I hope he stays around and you can wear that one for a long time with pride.
I can try and explain, it doesn't seem that complicated. There are 3 rounds. 1st round the top 4 (total home runs) advance. They then use a bracket in the 2nd round, were the number 1 seed plays the number 4 seed, and number 2 plays the number 3. As in head to head. Then the winners take on each other in the final. As for the outs and rounds, there are 40 pitches in the 1st round and 2nd round, plus 3 bonus 'outs' after. So essentially after the 40 pitches, you have 3 outs left, and if you don't hit a HR, it's an out. The finals is only 27 pitches. Same bonus round. EDIT: And it's a compromise between the 2 versions I feel. You still get the outs part of the competition, but you also get a set number of attempts. It seems fair to me.
They need to go back to the old format of 10 outs. All the new rules are dumb and doesn’t even let you see how far they hit homers.
Like 3 minutes. Ok I get that. 40 pitches. Ok. I get there’s a pitch limit because people have been rushing extra pitches in cuase of time. 3 bonus outs. What does that mean. It doesn’t say there’s “x outs and you’re out” so what is that.
It means after 40 pitches, you get 3 outs. AS in you hit until you get 3 outs. As in you hit until you don't a HR 3 times after 40 pitches. In case thats confusing, I'll try another way: You get pitched 40 times, you hit 5 HR. Now you have to hit a HR or it's an out, and you get 3 outs. There are no outs prior to the 40 pitches.
That’s a way clearer explanation. I jsut couldn’t understand what the point of saying there’s outs if there’s already a pitch and time limit.

Obviously you wouldn’t have any idea about the Phillies two years ago And anyone can find 10 moron comments from you every day Well except when you said you were leaving and weren’t coming back. Until you did.
My flight back to Texas was just cancelled. I should be upset... But... I mean I am in the Delaware Valley for longer.
Better chance at free McNuggets tomorrow
[Glad we got that sorted out](https://www.reddit.com/r/phillies/s/MxRvS4CM19)
The new left field in Camden Yards is the only time I’ve looked at a park and said “that should be illegal” It is 384-398 feet to left field with a 13 foot tall wall means you have to pull a ball at least 400 feet to hit a home run. Insane.
Hi I’m from the future and Brandon marsh catches the last out of the World Series right against that left field wall., please delete this

Feisty vs ApprehensiveNet is the platonic ideal of the “two idiots fighting” meme
You have to pick one of fiesty or ev66 to stay. Which do you pick
Ev66 easy. I figure I miss half his comments because they’re deleted and they all get deleted anyway and he posts about 5% as much I’ve legit never seen a worse poster on here
I'm honestly surprised you haven't blocked Feisty yet. He's just a waste of time.
I probably should but I’ve never blocked a single poster in ten years or however long it’s been. No doubt he’s the worst in the history of this sub since I’ve been here so maybe it will happen.
Ev66, he just deletes his comments anyways
That dude is the epitome of pessimism
Phillies won. Braves lost. Mets lost. Nationals lost. Marlins lost. "It's a beautiful thing, Tom."
Dodgers lost too, if Orioles lose will be a very good night for protecting our best record in the league
Yup best record in the national league and also best record in all of baseball by 2 games even after the split and the Braves didn't gain any ground either lol Edit: lol who the hell is downvoting me for saying the Phillies are the best team in baseball on a Phillies sub? This sub is confusing sometimes.
Phillies don't have the most runs scored anymore, but they do have the best run differential (ties with Baltimore who are currently losing) and have allowed the fewest runs of all the teams.
Where can I reliably watch the post-game interviews? I pay for MLB TV but don't see them on the app. Send help
Nbcsports Philly posts a shortened version of the post game show to YouTube a few hours after
Thanks mate appreciate the info
Fubo has them, I’ve never had a problem seeing them, it’s how I stream the games
Gunnar just said Cody Asche is in the running to pitch to him in the home run derby. Our boy finally made it.
Holy shit. Is it more shocking that he is still in MLB in any capacity or that he’s only 34 years old? Lace em up codiyashi!
Just came here to say "lolmets."
All my homies hate grimace
The Cubs are a surprisingly bad team, though their starting pitching is mostly solid. It’s not unreasonable to hope to win 2-of-3 against them, even with our severely weakened lineup.
lolmets gonna lolmet
lolmets They’ve had too much fun the past week or two, love seeing them get stomped
Lolmets
It’s such amazing timing, right after that stupid on field performance
they are 0-2 since the OMG performance, I think it cancelled out all the Grimace energy. Back to the usual lolmets
Astros stomping on the Mets in the 11th inning lol
love seeing the Mets lose big
lolmets
Astros blowing this open
Risky move by the Astros giving an intentional walk with a tied game
Think they were trying to set up a double play, but this pitcher is a new call up and is probably scared shitless hahahah
(Morgan Freeman voice) “He was, in fact, scared shitless”
Can anyone breakdown the catcher interference for me?
In baseball, catcher's interference occurs when a catcher or other fielder prevents a batter from legally swinging at a pitch. This can happen when the catcher is too close to home plate and the batter's bat hits the catcher's glove as the batter swings. It can also happen on attempted steals, when the catcher moves their body or mitt forward to catch the ball quickly. Marchan was positioned too closely and the batter hit his glove on the swing
I half am envisioning something funny and half wondering…what other fielder could it be?
That was a copy/paste job from google. Obviously there’s fielder interference but yeah, catcher interference is relegated to the catcher lol
I wanna see a first baseman tackle the batter as he’s swinging like a QB going back to pass lol
2-1 since Kyle and Bryce went down. We good we good
Please don’t let Ranger be coming back to earth, Cy Young Suarez was feeding families
Most likely just some natural regression, he was over-performing the underlying metrics a bit. Still one of the best pitchers in baseball after today
I think today is an outlier, but I also don’t honestly believe that he is one of the best pitchers in baseball. I think he’s probably the best number 3 and would be a lot of teams’ number 1 or 2 though. Still could win the cy young though. A lot worse pitchers than ranger have strung together crazy seasons and won it.
Can whoever it was who made that delicious looking chicken pot pie awhile ago and posted the picture please message me the recipe. I'm dreaming about it.
Dodgers getting waxed, Barves lost. Day turned out ducky after all
got to think they’re hungry for starting pitchers. on the plus side this suggests they are vulnerable and beatable in the playoffs and we may have a shot at them when we face them. on the other hand the Giants perhaps won’t go away, just yet at least.
> on the plus side this suggests they are vulnerable and beatable in the playoffs I'd say them being frequently eliminated early suggested that already
yes definitely. this is suggestive of the same this year
I'm not the least bit worried about the Giants
i agree i think they fold but if think it’ll be a cakewalk facing them in the playoffs that’s a bit cavalier
They’re not even a playoff team as it stands right now. Maybe they make it, but I’m not going to worry about a team that as of right now wouldn’t even be in the dance. I *will* worry about whoever we face in the playoffs because so much of them are just a coin toss, though, of course.
true but you want to be prepared or to at least do the mental exercises. don’t want a repeat of the 2023 NLCS.
I don’t foresee the Phillies’ flight leaving anytime soon
Much needed win 👌🏻
Don’t get me wrong I’m happy we won. But think we woulda been fine if we lost too
I think they needed the confidence of a win without some of their top bats, and after some recent losses. Missing offense doesn't explain all the errors but team-wide confidence / mood does.
Sure but dropping 3 out of 4 to the lowly marlins would really sting.
Our hitting bailing out crap pitching and terrible defense. That’s a new one.
Grinding out wins like this with the B team is huge, this is a game we’ll be so glad to have won when we’re magic number watching in September.
The more I listen to Castellanos's interviews, the more I hate the "himbo" narrative that /r/Phillies gave him. I honestly think he is pretty thoughtful with his answers. He also just don't care about the media that much and will refuse to answer "clown questions."
I think he actually cares quite a bit about what the media says and his passive aggressive non answers to “clown Questions” are very intentional. But, tomato-tomahhhto. More so because his son is old enough to hear it.
I meant it morso that he doesn't care for the media. Basically sees them as a distraction and "harmful". Not that he doesn't care what the media says. I should have clarified.
Clarification accepted and filed appropriately
I found his playoff interviews, and probably some others, where he would be all deadpan and non-cooperative kind of off-putting, but his interviews this season have been mostly endearing.
Where’s the question in that?
Ahhh i think about that one all the time, and really couldn't read it correctly. Was he just being dick? It came off that way. But I dunno, I don't feel like he is. Probably just sick of the same old questions and he's one of the few guys who doesn't run through a Jeter routine to answer them
Yeah, he f**** with Philly, and the sports writers 🥰
With 5 errors, over a dozen left on base, and failure to score an insurance run in the 8th with no outs and runners on first and third, this will most likely be their worst played win of the season.
certainly a halfway point contender
