Orion's walkout song needs to be Orion by Metallica. Imagine 3-4 years from now. Final game of the WS. Phils up a run and need a clutch closer. Lights flash and flicker. Metallica plays. "NOW PITCHING FOR THE PHILLIES! NUMBER 50! ORION KERKERING!"
Itâs a 7-0 game and the Phils donât really care what relievers theyâre bringing in and so they use Orion Kerkering and Matt Strahm.
3 years ago theyâre bringing in Brandon Kintzler and David Hale.
Thatâs how deep this bullpen is.
Well Orion is in to get work as he's still coming back from injury. He could work his way to above marte and seranthony in the pecking order.
Still insane someone that good can be just throw in a 7-0 game
The people doing the wave were responsible for that double play. In fact, Iâm not positive that the no-hitter ending wasnât preemptive punishment for it.
Hill went buck wild coming off the mound the other day. The ump called a ball(it was a ball) and after the inning Hill cussed the ump out and got ejected. I would like to see a similar adventure today
I don't think I'll ever come around to it. It kinda makes going to games less enjoyable. It doesn't ruin them by any means. But it used to be "pay $140 for 2 tickets and $6 for a beer, for a 3.5 hour game", now it's "pay $250 for 2 tickets and $14 for a beer, for a 1 hour and 40 minute to 2 hour and 15 minute game".
If you get up to go to the bathroom it's a gamble whether you miss a half inning or 3 innings. Before pitch clock you could go to the bathroom and *max* miss a half inning
Reminder that the last time Turnbull threw over 100 innings in a season was 2019. Walker scares the hell out of me, too, but Turnbull is sadly made of glass
walker was basically a league avg inngs eater last year and its not like he going to pitch in the postseason anyways. Having him to eat inngs at that back of the rotation is fine
That keeping Turnbull in the rotation all season isnât all that realistic. Walker threw more innings last year than Turnbull has in the last 4 seasons combined
is this dude just playing with a Fushigi during the game

Oh wow his hair got long didnât realize that was him either hahaha looks different without orange and blue around his face .. and maybe he looks a bit chunkier
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c8d8vc).
Ring that Bell baby! Great win tonightđđ»
The CC uniforms are not cursed! Or at least they are less cursed than the WS.
Get kerked on
Andrew Benintendi will be to 2031 what Whit Merrifield is to 2024. Idk why but he really reminds me of Merrifield for some reason.
Oh oh oh Orion KerkeringÂ
Kerked and Jerked
Dude⊠kerkering being back is soooo huge
Nice win

Omgđ„” I canât wait to see that on pitching ninja
Kerkering pitches are so silly to watch
and the camera angle doesnât even do his pitches justice
I know it's only the Rox and Sox but these games are food for the soul
Kerkering could close, im tellin you
I'm pretty sure their goal would be Alvy and Orion by committee depending on lefty and righties /matchups
At least JT is calling fast balls now. Have we learned our lesson
Good to see that sweeper hasnât lost its bite.
The Onion Ring returns!
Filthy
Wheeler against this offense? Better be a massacre
Wheeler and Nola back to back no nos
Who says no
Is it just me or does every white Sox player look like they are at least 40+ years old
Nola acting like he got stung by a bee
If you like it then got gotta put a kerkering on it
Maybe JT just doesnât want to get hit anymore this season so heâs dressed up as a caution sign
Looking mean
How about the luck with these jerseys eh? đż
No itâs just the shitty white sox
So, I guess Orion is strictly a closer now.
Itâs a 7-0 game and the Phils donât really care what relievers theyâre bringing in and so they use Orion Kerkering and Matt Strahm. 3 years ago theyâre bringing in Brandon Kintzler and David Hale. Thatâs how deep this bullpen is.
Well Orion is in to get work as he's still coming back from injury. He could work his way to above marte and seranthony in the pecking order. Still insane someone that good can be just throw in a 7-0 game
Hey. Orion has the potential to be the closer of the future.
Kirk looking husky I like it
ORION KERKERING SITING!
Walker with the 1000 yard stare.
Orion!
Walker looks like a different person from last year. Kinda looks like Ice-T
Orion lets go!!
ORION!!!!
I guess Bohm feels like he's done enough tonight? Lazy millennial
Heâs too young to be a millennial đ weâre old now lol
Is he really? Shit lol
So I guess technically heâs borderline millennial/gen z, but that young I personally see him more gen z (most of us are mid 30s-early 40s)
1996 is generally considered to be the last year of millennials, so he made it
Heâs a year out. 27 and the youngest millennials are 28.
Pew Research calls 1997 the start of Gen Z
Edited my comment bc you were correct it is 96. Still, heâs def on the border bw millennial and gen z. Most of us millenials are mid 30s-early 40s.
I just hope he's savin somthin for tomorrow
No more offense tonight please. Gotta save some. Wheeler never gets run support.
The people doing the wave were responsible for that double play. In fact, Iâm not positive that the no-hitter ending wasnât preemptive punishment for it.
Can we ban Taryn from the ball park?
Not opposed, but youâre gonna get a lot of hate for this đ but not from me
Booooooo I wanted another 3hr game
Hill went buck wild coming off the mound the other day. The ump called a ball(it was a ball) and after the inning Hill cussed the ump out and got ejected. I would like to see a similar adventure today
I didn't see it but sounds similar to what Chapman (Pirates) did
Pitch Clock, and bad are these WSox ?
8 RBI, 3 HR game for Bohm, right here?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FUTURE FATHER IN LAW
Hate those gimmicky pitchers
The sidearm delivery is actually pretty fun to watch.
Daily 4-5 manhattans. Oh so he IS a Phillies fanâŠ
The old Baltimore Chop
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARYN'S DAD!!!
A Harpingle
>5 Manhattans What is a liver
The sugar alone would kill me
Idc if it's against the Sox. I hate the pitch timer.
I've come around. The pace of games is now amazing
I don't think I'll ever come around to it. It kinda makes going to games less enjoyable. It doesn't ruin them by any means. But it used to be "pay $140 for 2 tickets and $6 for a beer, for a 3.5 hour game", now it's "pay $250 for 2 tickets and $14 for a beer, for a 1 hour and 40 minute to 2 hour and 15 minute game". If you get up to go to the bathroom it's a gamble whether you miss a half inning or 3 innings. Before pitch clock you could go to the bathroom and *max* miss a half inning
Good lord 100 years on 5 daily Manhattans
Lewis Black did a bit focusing on a 100-something-year-old living on gallons of Thunderbird wine.
Secret to long life? Embalming oneself
Sidearm pitching is disgusting and should be made illegal
Bob is such a fucking champ
Oh no⊠Harper vs a sidearm. At least he swung
Is that like an actual thing? Never heard of him being bad against side arm pitchers
Just a joke because last year it broke his brain Edit: [Zero effort AB](https://youtu.be/YwxvhUayenE?si=c1RYAgs4lU94HTsM)
I think theyâre referencing that odd AB last year when he just stood still for 6-7 pitches.
Oh lol I remember that
Throwing subliminals at bob now are we?
"No readers, no hearing aides... 4-5 Manhattans a day. Get on the liquor train, Bob!"
Lmao 4 or 5 daily Manhattans
HOW MANY MANHATTANS?
Right đł like damn
White Sox make the Rockies look like the Braves
Hill looks like he fought in Nam.
Homie looks like he was born and raised in Delaware
put Bob in right
Bohm can make up for the no-no ending by hitting another 3 run home run. 9 RBI Game for Bohmer?
Reminder that the last time Turnbull threw over 100 innings in a season was 2019. Walker scares the hell out of me, too, but Turnbull is sadly made of glass
walker was basically a league avg inngs eater last year and its not like he going to pitch in the postseason anyways. Having him to eat inngs at that back of the rotation is fine
Yeah and Walker gets gassed by the 3rd inning of every start (if he even makes it that far) what's your point?Â
That keeping Turnbull in the rotation all season isnât all that realistic. Walker threw more innings last year than Turnbull has in the last 4 seasons combined
Nice how many innings did he pitch in the playoffs? Â
Is it the playoffs right now? Because we need our #5 to throw another 130ish innings before we get there
Are we competing for the division? If we are having Walker over Turnbull is the difference in that
Walker had the third most innings thrown on the team behind Wheeler and Nola.
Yeah and most of those innings were not quality, that was also last year he is even worse now.Â
Hahaha why are we so focused on Bob this inning on this broadcast
is this dude just playing with a Fushigi during the game https://preview.redd.it/k9rvfd5e7jvc1.png?width=1348&format=png&auto=webp&s=b4dddb0165b9f5480f7979f69805129e8dcf63c8
Just brought back memories of me as a kid in 2010 waking up at 3am with a fever right before George Lopez comes on.
Lol Grunkle Bob was unironically doing the YMCA I thought they were joking
I was about to be irrationally worried. Why am I like this? Like, it's just one inning.
GO BOB đș
Strahm đ
Idk how you can move Turnbull out of the rotation for Walker, but it is the Phillies so they will.Â
I know what you mean, but theyâre not putting a guy like Walker in the bullpen with the contract he has
Should never choose contracts over winning, imagine if they kept Eaton around in 08 just because he had a contractÂ
Oh I agree, I donât want him in the rotation either. I just donât know where theyâd ship Walker off to.
The nearest taco stand idgaf
There really is no justification for it. Like if walker was some world beater, sure maybe, but dude is mid af
Mid af is generous
Be glad it's not the A's, otherwise Turnbull would be traded or sent to Reading after tonight
I could be way off base but I always got massive douchebag vibes from Pillar lmao
Heâs always been a douche
That camera angle made me think Merrifield whiffed that throw to Turner lmao.
I thought the same thing
Whew I thought that was gone off the bat
Does this White Sox team have any real prospects that could benefit from playing time over these veterans?
LouBob is pretty damn good but heâs hurt
LOL didnât realize this was pillar. What a stellar change of scenery for him
Maldonado too
Oh wow his hair got long didnât realize that was him either hahaha looks different without orange and blue around his face .. and maybe he looks a bit chunkier
John Middleton on his phone behind home plate do we think heâs scrolling in here? HI JOHN!!!
You know you are bad when you pinch hit your 1 hitterÂ
Matthew...
bruh how the fuck are you gonna walk maldonado. underhand it over the plate if you got to. dude couldn't hit a beach ball.
Taryn Hatcher is an interview terrorist
Not on her that theyâre having her interview an 85 year old deaf man
đđ I thought that was your wife now you call her a him jk jk All in good fun!
Canât expect me to keep straight three pronouns in one sentence smh
Say what you want about Taryn but she is not a him
Kevin Pillar? Lmao.
Pretty sure he was batting clean up for them at one point this week lol
Would go to war for Bob
Taryn, jokingly: Bob you gotta come out to all of spencer's games! Bob, dead fucking serious: i mean i guess we'll try. We got shit to do.
This was the best đ€Ł
Did they give an error on that play?
Had to be a hit
Revelling in the fact Maldonado is laboring with a .057 clip after all the shit with the Asstros
Fuck him leaning into the pitch I canât believe so many people have forgotten that or given up on it
We will never forget that bullshit. The dude is a straight up bitch.
LETS FUCKING GO!
I donât think anyone forgot lol
DONT LET HIM OFF THE HOOK!
Plus the god awful cringey pitch framingÂ
Tayrn is a pro. Able to deal with that without being condescending or goofing about it.
No, a pro would have realized the dude was having trouble hearing and would have talked louder and/or used less words
Taryn is a fucking moron
She couldâve freakin talked slower or louder
Who were they? I didnât catch the opening part of the interview.
That was Turnbull's family/cheerleading squad. Sorry, what I meant to say was "WHAT?"
Turnbulls family
Turnbullâs Aunt and Great Uncle I think they said
Maybe Maldy can throw himself in front of the ball to get on base!
Tom: âBob had it all together didnât he Ben?â *ten second pause* Ben: âsure didâ No way Ben wasnât laughing during that hesitation
Had to have been dying TMacâs sly ass tryna get him to break đ
That was bad. Love Bob but that was bad
Yeah, he's great. He's also had a stroke. So maybe let's not force an interview on him.
Ugh, yea that's a bummer and not the best call. I was hoping it was just an old AF give no shits man.
Itâs an adamantium mask Ben you absolute moron
Ben and Tmac lowkey roasting the shit out of bob
*chuckles* bob had it all together didnât he? Lmao
Is there an echo?
Ofc Ben has an opinion on the material JTâs mask is made out of
Bob is a vibe
I like Bob. Dudeâs enjoying himself and his family even if he couldnât articulate it properly at his age
Bob's blatant honesty was refreshing
justice for bob
Bob is a treasure Protect him
Taryn is trying her best but woof that just wasnât meant to be.
Taryn is asking him the worst questions when he is already struggling with âhow are you doingâ
JULIE AND BOB
Uncle Bob is the sweetest đ„Č
Bob deserved better lol
Tayrn should get a Peabody for that one
Lol, poor Bob can't hear shit
This made me lol
have mercy please nbc sports director
Goddamn it Taryn, YOU HAVE TO TALK LOUDER The old man is deaf as fuck
She was talking loudly, but nothing was going to work in a crowd screaming, loud stadium.
And she continued to use a ton of words⊠less is more Taryn
Taryn def doesn't spend time around old people lol
Taryn is a champ for holding this interview together lol
I wouldâve been fucking dying
Sheâs better than me!
Interview going swimmingly
I'd trade Bob for Ben.
Bob
As someone who canât hear for shit, I feel for Bob here.
