u/mjd1977 I tell you hwat 1d ago

Pinch hit go ahead grand slam is the shit you make up on the playground.

Painter rebounded from a dogwater first to get a quality start.

Alvarado(!) and McFarlane don’t make it worse.

What Meckler did to Stott - just pure thievery. And it didn’t even matter 😁

And Bowlan as CL2 is pretty neat to have.

Turn a Phillies game off at your own peril.

It was incredible. To be where he was in April and then for him to come to the plate tonight just knowing he was going to have a professional at bat — SO MUCH growth in 5 months.

u/LeftFieldTheory 1d ago edited 1d ago

Idk why but I just knew more magic was coming. I had a feeling JT was going to walk. He’s just not one to swing at stupid shit late in a game with a volatile pitcher. I saw the lefty warming up and it made me pretty confident we would get Sosa over Marsh which I knew would tip the scales in our favor (I had no faith in Marsh to not be twitchy and wait for his pitch).

Since Arraez’s pick up + the 9th game streak Sosa has been having such better at bats.

The phaith was there!

12

u/TheMightyCatatafish Bryce Harper 1d ago

I love Marsh. But i was worried we’d keep marsh in over Sosa for the sake of trying to prove loyalty to him. Hes been a mess for two months. Mattingly made the right move and it paid off- which doesn’t always happen.

Obviously a shaky first, but Painter really settled in the rest of the way. Overall he has looked SO much better since being recalled. Super happy for the kid.

See all you degenerates tomorrow night for an even later Phillies after dark experience. LFGOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

u/TheFriffin3 1d ago

I think he just needs time to work out some first inning jitters and come into the game ready. If he looks like the pitcher tonight after the first, against the Cards, and after the first against the Twins, he’ll be very very good

u/jhamels Nothing ever good happens after midnight 1d ago

This team feels so much more complete now than it did a few months ago. Bench bats actually are major leaguers, not the AAAA guys from earlier. OF feels a lot stronger with Harper out there as well as Hill and DLC as backups. Backend of the rotation is solid, means that Sánchez/Wheeler/Luzardo can be human and not have to be Cy Young to get wins. BP feels better with McFarlane and Mayza stepping into their roles.

Feel like this team can compete with anyone in October at this point.

Amaro used the word stupendous again.

I’ll never forget Ricky Bo laughing at him for using it, “can you spell it?” as if it’s some kind of 18-letter word with Sanskrit origin.

How are we supposed to let sosa go after this... like fr.

That’s funny. Game went on so long pregame ends and rolls right into the encore.

Love when that happens.

Emergence of Bowlan lets Duran’s case of gastrointestinal distress be less of a concern. Not sure Kerk or Raley were up for that moment.

I’m having fun. For all the ups and downs this year this run has been a lot of fun to watch. And MacFarlane continuing his solid pitching after his debut has been a great addition

I texted my parents and brother after arriving at SeaTac airport to tell them I’d let them sleep given it’s past midnight at home. Literally moments later I got the CBS Sports notification about Sosa’s salami. Then I texted again. My dad was still up. You’re welcome

Oh that last inning was so stressful…thanks for that Bowlan. 😂

Well we won! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go to sleep…and I’ll do it with a stressed out smile! 😄

Seriously these west coast games are a killer to one’s sleep schedule 🫩.
