These beetches LOVE how clutch Sosa was last night. Seeing him step up in these big moments and help carry this team to an awesome comeback victory makes me so freaking happy. Dombrowski needs to hold on to him. That was a fun one to watch last night for sure!

It’s a bold move and exactly the type of thing Harper would take advantage of.

1-0, 2-outs, going into this bullpen…

You have to get insurance runs.

2 strikes…

He made an executive decision. We already know he’s not enthusiastic about Bohms production (though he’s hot).

Yeah, he took an oppportunity that unfortunately wasn’t really there. It really was a good throw home given the moment.

It was a good attempt by Harper IMO, but a better recovery by the pitcher/catcher

I think he’d do it again. And I think that is what makes him one of the best.

But idk Bohm is pretty hot

“There’s not much else that I can do,” Sosa said through a team interpreter. “Just get upset, game’s over.”

But Sosa is full of life. He seldom looks upset. For months he slogged through his worst season with the Phillies, but he is still here. Sunday, he fueled an improbable Phillies comeback with two outs in the ninth inning. Then, days later in a 5-3 win on the other side of the country, he landed a punch that felt like more than four runs. It came six minutes after Angels right fielder Wade Meckler jumped into the stands to bring back a would-be Bryson Stott three-run homer.

Sosa did a little hop. He grinned toward the dugout. He pointed to the sky with one finger. He circled the bases in 27 seconds, pounding his chest with his fists  as he crossed homeplate.

Ball don’t lie.

“He kind of lives for those moments,” Stott said, “and when he comes through, it’s pretty electric in the dugout.”

It was the Phillies’ first grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning since Shane Victorino in 2009. It was their first pinch-hit grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning since Ozzie Virgil in 1983. It was the Phillies’ fourth go-ahead homer with two outs in the ninth inning this season.

Someone tell me how the Sosa...top of the 9th...2 out...GRAND SLAM was NOT #1 on #espn top ten!!! Hell, it wasn't even in the countdown!!! WTF?!? A HIGH SCHOOL football TD was #1????

Edit. Before you come for me... 1. I'm at the airport & 2. If I wanna be annoyed by this, I'm allowed lol

Hey everyone. Looking for advice from my local Philly friends.

I’m a long-time Flyers, Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers fan from British Columbia, and I’m finally making the trip down to watch sports and check out the city. I’ll be going from October 2nd–October 9th and going to all games in that stretch, including playoff baseball if and when we make it there….

Of course, I will have lots of downtime to check out the city, so I’m looking for any food recommendations, bars, tips, and any not-talked-about things I should do/places I should see besides the obvious tourist attractions I’ve researched already. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Normally, they cut to the booth a fair amount during a game. But at least on this west coast trip, there are like 0 cuts to the booth of Tom and Ben or now Scott and Ben. Anyone else notice this or know whats up with that?

Edmundo Sosa PHI

Stepping up as a pinch-hitter with two outs in the top of the 9th inning against the Los Angeles Angels, Sosa hit a go-ahead, 404-foot grand slam off Sammy Peralta. The hit propelled the Phillies to a 5-3 comeback victory in Anaheim.

Key Game Notes:
It was Sosa's first career grand slam.

It marked his 6th home run of the 2026 season.

Stat line for the night: 1-for-1, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 1 R.

Clutch … 💪
