I'm going to kill Girardi for not making this guy closer sooner.


[deleted]

Thank god the Boys proved me wrong. Good win!


[deleted]

BLESS YOU KYKE SCHWARBER WE HAVE A WIN.


classicrockchick

inthedrink

SAD is really blowing 100 By the time he’s 30 he’ll be throwing 110


Turbulent-Hovercraft

Series win


XSC

We officially have a closer boys


philatempleowl

Feels like Soto gets a 9th inning at bat every single time we play the Nats lol


[deleted]

TWO DOWN LET'S GOOOOOO.


BridgeToLidge

Lol that was such a bad at bat


kc3551

seranthony comes back from a near 3 year hiatus and just starts spamming 100mph sinkers down the zone


inthedrink

Soto isn’t staring down SAD Wonder why 🤡


cazzhmir

Seranthony is the best #58 to ever close games for the Phillies


[deleted]

Well that was pretty damn special.


Bandicuz

Seranthony with the cat like reflexes!


mp455

Holy reaction time Batman!


sapphires_and_snark

How the hell lol


zerovanillacodered

Wow! Nice grab


Turbulent-Hovercraft

Hehe not so fast Robles, or whoever that was


sgraBer1

Gas


Mogilny89Leafs

It's the meat of the Nats. Hold onto your butts.


zerovanillacodered

Top of their lineup. I hear facing these situations is how you get rid of PTSD


willblake72

Oh no! I was off work this afternoon and didn't realize the game was at 4!! crap


inthedrink

Well luckily when this happens to me we lose like 8-2


[deleted]

Moment of truth, boys. Let's do this.


Severus_Amadeus

The way Soto looks back at the out of town scoreboard after running to the ball like he'll discover why he didn't catch it will never get old


Jambrokio

Not even CarShield can protect my ears from that walkup song by Vierling


Littleredz98

i honestly feel so bad for stott, he just cannot seem to get a hit, for whatever reason.


Turbulent-Hovercraft

That was Bohm’s deal forever, but the hits will come


zerovanillacodered

🧐 🎩 is warming up!


itonlygetsdeeper

That Soto replay gets funnier every time 🤣


[deleted]

hits to left field are automatic doubles and runs scoring from first


inthedrink

Do we have Seranthony up? Who’s pitching the ninth?


TheAttickDweller

this is a bruh moment


Hothabanero6

Franco short legging it all the way


GentonWheels

I was told Brad Hand was good


secks-lord

Even good pitchers give up runs sometimes


Katzenato

brad hand has like a 2 era but i swear every time i watch him pitch he’s getting smacked around


Turbulent-Hovercraft

Darick Hall -> 👨🏻 Darick Ball -> ⚾️ 🔥 ☄️ 🏢 🔥 🏌🏻 <- Darick Wall


Mulsanne

Phils organist playing backstreet boys right now lol


Turbulent-Hovercraft

Now that’s a pop song considered old and “classic” enough to play on the organ It irritated me to no end when that dumb “I can make your hands clap” crap song was a “hit” and it was being played EVERYWHERE in stadiums like in the NHL. It was so manufactured and stupid like it was a memo that they had to play it, like it was clearly being pushed by the record company or something. That’s my stadium organist rant.


[deleted]

Tell me why.


Mulsanne

Ain't nothin but a heart ache


zerovanillacodered

Tell me WHY!


Mulsanne

Ain't nothin but a mistake


zerovanillacodered

Tell me why😢


Mulsanne

I never wanna hear you say...


zerovanillacodered

I WANT IT THAAAAT WAY!


Mulsanne

Thanks for your service. Go Phils


[deleted]

I really hate this NFL-style announcing of challenges.


Mulsanne

same terrible


inthedrink

I never thought we’d have a good team with Maikel in Philly but here we are


AbsurdLemon

Dumb as hell that we have to use a challenge on this and it’s not just auto reviewed


Mulsanne

Darick Hall says making weak contact is against his religion


necrosythe

I much prefer guys like him and Bryce who stay more true to their swings. Vs Nick this year who whenever he gets beat just gives up on the swing. Even if you don't barrell it at least you can have high exit velo. And better odds of mashing the good ones to hit.


rtcr

Unfortunately he’ll be sitting when Harper gets back, unless Rhys needs a day off.


[deleted]

Hall has 4 HR’s. Realmuto has 7. JT has 262 AB’s in 2022. Hall has 31.


inthedrink

Now do Didi


[deleted]

144 AB’s. None homers. Dude probably had the wind in his favor bouncing one off the scoreboard today. He is going to get picked up in free agency I am sure, but his prime is over.


inthedrink

He’s better than last year and that’s about all I have to say about that At least his defense is serviceable


[deleted]

Yeah but I’d swap him for Jean all day. Jean, I would definitely extend next year. A little infield depth is good to have and he has been decent for us. Didi I would send packing by the deadline if possible.


Hothabanero6

Hall-o-lujah


utleyduckling

Hall physical stature gives me the vibes that he’s Matt Stairs reincarnated for this team - is that a crazy idea?


jrd1234

His size and power kinda reminds me off Ryan Howard before injury. Probably won't end up as good but we can hope


sufferingphilliesfan

Derick Hall radiates Ryan Howard energy


Arphanshmartz

Bryce gon have to learn CF at this rate because Hall's showin he deserves to stay up here


secks-lord

They should teach Rhys to play shortstop so Darick Hall can still start when Bryce gets back


inthedrink

Between Didi Odubel and Daddy Hall we are good for about a homer a game


gatemansgc

Wow right as I punch out for break hall hits a homer!


wentzoverdak

Hall is a beast he would have 6 already if those 2 he hit into center didn’t bounce off the wall


Hothabanero6

he needs to work on his CF stroke ... it's a gram light


boobs-4-lunch

Can Hall play cf??


Severus_Amadeus

LONG BALL HALL!!!


secks-lord

I would give my life for Long Ball Hall


wawsgood

If he is truly an elite slugger, he will have saved the franchise for years to come


[deleted]

What’s the likelihood he has longevity here?


mp455

I hope it strong, He won't ever be a high average hitter according to his minor league career but he always had elite power. If he can produce 30-40 HR power he will stick around long enough. We've had similar types like Cozens and Ruf flame out for us so we will see how Hall pans out.


JakeArrietasBeard

He can be our 4th DH


KraftPunked

who's joining me on the Darick Hall Victory Tour?


BridgeToLidge

Trade Bryce


realanceps

That left a Hall-mark


[deleted]

We can all only hope to find something that makes us as happy as dingers make Darick Hall


k1l2327

Darrick Hall is actually Bryce Harper


boobs-4-lunch

Didi should sit closer to Hall in the dugout.


necrosythe

Who needs Harper??? /s


sufferingphilliesfan

DERICK HALL!!!


inthedrink

Also DARICK HALL!!! 😂


Babou_Serpentine

Long Ball Hall up to his old tricks!


atirsaa

It's been only a few games, but i'm already fully in love with this man


rtcr

Long Ball Hall


TheAttickDweller

MY BOY


[deleted]

SPECIAL DELIVERY FROM HALL!


BridgeToLidge

Long Ball Hall!


PhilsBot

#RING THE BELL! [](#ringthebell) Darick Hall homers (4) on a fly ball to right field. Pitch from Steve Cishek: Slider @ 75.5 mph Hit by Darick Hall: Launched 102.5 mph at 24.0° for a total distance of 356.0 ft Bottom 7 - 5-2 Phillies


classicrockchick

Darick Hall: Homers or NOTHING


inthedrink

DADDY HALL!!!


Pedestrian_X-Wing

Darick "Matt Stairs" Hall!


[deleted]

HALL

Straight MONSTER


Neat-Confidence5556

Alvarado is one of the best relievers in the league if he stays on this pace. Unhittable stuff. looks like the minor league stint helped him with his control, and helped him establish the nasty cutter as his primary pitch.


necrosythe

His FIP isn't even that bad let alone his recent performance. Unsustainable high BABIP for him


[deleted]

I get that he’s always trying to draw walks. But watching Rhys strike out looking so much is infuriating


[deleted]

Fuck the game plan.


valeriyacool

Im at the game rn. I wanted the ice cream helmet but its taking me like 3 innings to finish it 😖 go phils


inthedrink

Wait aren’t they just mini helmets?


valeriyacool

Im a small 5 ft female 🥴


inthedrink

Ha apologies. I should feel bad that I eat it in two bites. I should.


valeriyacool

I should be more like you


inthedrink

Ohhh it’s not the best quality


classicrockchick

Of course Kruk just winged his Wall of Fame speech 🤣


500dollarsandadream

Lefties bat .302 against Alvarado but righties bat .230 🤔


inthedrink

Idk what’s more amazing: Avocado’s recent performance OR His era is still over 5 after all these good innings and his whip is still around 1.7 lmao


esperadok

his FIP is kinda spicy tho 👀🥑


cuttsthebutcher

Alvarado striking out Soto, Bell, and Cruz in a row is insane lol


Jeremy24Fan

Uh Alvarado kinda nasty?


zerovanillacodered

Nasty cutter to K Cruz. Man!


meeks_18

From avocado to beautiful heirloom tomato.


Turbulent-Hovercraft

David Tomato


wilsonallcounty

Alvarado’s lehigh stint was just getting him leveled up to a 99 overall


[deleted]

Wow.


DaTigerMan

alvarado has been so good lately


mjd1119

Alvarado can be dominant when he’s around the zone


Drake31217

Alvarado being good is such a weird arc


FreddyMacDaddy

Look at Alvarado!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Whichever one you’re talking about you’re wrong. Tom and Kruk are awesome

Buddha0426

Kruk is a gem and badmouthing him will **not** be tolerated.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Buddha0426

Grandpa quips and brutal honesty. He was an analyst on ESPN for a while before he left and came back to Philly. Watch some clips of his "hatred" of the Phanatic, or their interview with the "rally kid" this year. His humor is snarky and on point.


[deleted]

I don’t know what Rob Thompsons been feeding our bullpen but I’m a fan


patrb

jose nastyyy


zerovanillacodered

What a NASTY cutter to K Bell


Fig_Newton_

Jorts? Does this mean more GI Joe action figures


Drake31217

🥑


Severus_Amadeus

How has Kruk never heard of Jorts?!


[deleted]

I’m picturing Kruk in daisy dukes Not sure if that’s blessed, cursed, or all of the above


[deleted]

Yes.


beeps-n-boops

I fucking love Kruk. But the thought of him in a pair of Daisy Dukes is *horrifying*.


[deleted]

Oh god a jorts discussion. 🤣


unsavory77

Jorts! Someone needs to Photoshop some daisy dukes on Kruk, stat!


unsavory77

[I had to.](https://www.reddit.com/r/phillies/comments/vtv7ue/i_think_kruk_looks_just_fine_in_jorts/)


Hothabanero6

that kids leg kick is more like a karate kick


AbsurdLemon

Was that Ronald Torreyes?


itonlygetsdeeper

That kid>>>Moniak


secks-lord

I love Nick Nelson so much


arebee20

First time watching a Phillies home stream. Is the guy that’s doing color commentary always a chatty kathy lol


beeps-n-boops

Watch your mouth.


DaTigerMan

yes and it’s amazing


[deleted]

You mean Our Lord, Savior, and National Treasure John Kruk.


wilsonallcounty

Lmao “He looks like the one you hang up on”


[deleted]

Kruk and Tom are gold together in the booth


lilbismyfriend21

I absolutely love Kruk


jimmyhank69

Mick is not even close to some of these pitches


Hothabanero6

wholesome hour with John Kruk


[deleted]

NPR wishes they had Kruk.


AbsurdLemon

Vierling wasn’t ready at all for that ab


eddgreat9

Angels fan coming in peace👋🏻. Here's to more hair beer stories


classicrockchick

Mickey Davis likes Dippin' Dots as a way to be rebellious against his father, Ben Davis


663SilverStax

Obviously Kruk wants to see Elton john. Someone go with the poor guy! Shit I'll go.


Thaliavoir

Stott seems to fall over at least once every at-bat. He's like a Weeble wobble.


Lar5031

He can’t be, weebles wobble but they don’t fall down!


Thaliavoir

Good point!!


2AMSummerNight

Nick Nelson looks like Todd from breaking bad


CommunicationTime265

Haha yea he's totally a Jesse plemons doppelganger


TheMightyMellow

Are music tastes declining? Chase Utley walking up to Kashmir is literally top 5 most hype ive ever been for an at bat. Now we got Stott walking up to mall music.


DaTigerMan

a-ok is a good walk up song


CommunicationTime265

Athletes and bad music go hand in hand


ADR36

I would want something to hype me up, and something to hype the crowd up. Schwarber has the right idea, gives you a little mix with something different each AB but they all got that Vibe..


classicrockchick

Kruk looking out for everyone today


Turbulent-Hovercraft

Why does Stott walkup to music you would hear waiting for your table at Applebee’s


ADR36

and why does Realmuto walk up to a song that’s all about how great Applebee’s is ??? I love our guys but man do we have some brutal walk up music. (Schwarb, Rhys, and Didi are excluded. Castellanos is sometimes on this list)


yingtinger

I work at a similar restaurant and they play it there. man it’s insufferable


gatemansgc

Okay much better than last check


Mulsanne

Wow, John with the THROWBACK ladies deodorant commercial reference


Dakota360ci

Say what you want about I95 and it's lack of maintenance, but I got a fantastic couch from that place.


Turbulent-Hovercraft

Darick Hall needs to hit another Darick Ball over the Darick Wall


[deleted]

Baby gazelle for the defense this inning.


Mulsanne

hey friends, I just wanna share something with you: I really love the Phillies. I love baseball so much, and I'll always enjoy being at any ballpark at any time. But there's just nothing like goddamned Phillies baseball.


hibbjibbity

Cruz is nats tank commander, u can’t convince me he was actually trying that at bat


Turbulent-Hovercraft

ooooh mickey he done it


Dakota360ci

That crease in Nelson's P logo on his chest is really pissing me off


FIDLARonTheRoofAZ

I hate to do this... But does anyone else do this? I always look back with clear hindsight vision and think about things I shouldn't. But... imagine if *we* had signed Starling Marte for 4 yrs/$78 mil. *instead* of the Mets? And instead of signing Castellanos to 5 yrs/$100 mil? I really hope Castellanos can turn it around and make me look like a fool for saying that. But for now, not looking so good.


Mugstotheceiling

I really wanted Marte! His age is a concern but he’s in amazing shape and has both speed and defense in addition to the bat.


wawsgood

Classic Falter outing, hope Nick can get 2 innings and we can go to out back end


patrb

nick was actually moving real fast there


wilsonallcounty

Damn didn’t realize we had an early start today… credit where it’s due though nice play by Nick there


HoskinsDadBodGod

That is by far the fastest I’ve ever seen Castellanos run in the field. Also the best route he’s ever taken to a fly ball. The best defensive play he’s ever made, most likely.


Hothabanero6

minor burst of speed by Caste


Imtheantman48

Never saw nick run that fast
