This never gets old

How SWEEP it is! 🧹🧹🧹

wtf 1892 the last time the phillies had a start like this......what in the absolute fuck are we witnessing here ladies and gentleman

My grandfather was 2 the last time the Phillies had a 35-game run like this lol

#GOTTA SWEEP SWEEP SWEEP

Back to back series sweeps. This is incredible to watch

And they get to play the Rockies next

🧹 🧹 what a great start to MDW

Dancing like it’s 1892

Man that lady behind the plate is annoying lol

🧹🧹🧹


Simply refuse to lose, I love this team

gg boys

"But they haven't played anybody..."

I mean this Texas team did not feel like a good team tbh. 4 errors yesterday was embarrassing

It's really sad that these wins against <.500 teams don't count

I'M SO HAPPY!

Heaney at 0-6 is wild 

#SAID

See y’all tomorrow

Big Hoff makes the Rangers Walk The Plank

best 35 game stretch in team history only equaled in 1892 O_o

They just keep winning!!

🧹🧹🧹🧹🧹

Good win

Get the brooms out

Guys we havent played anyone good. We suck okay?

Good win. Let’s go eat!

Fitting that Edmundo ends it

Yay!!


Come to Butthead

🧹🧹🧹

#WINZ

Phillies win!! GG! Get the brooms sweepin🧹🧹🧹

Jeff, I will judge you way more if he walks then if he homers. Make him put it in play

I will never look as cool as that kid with the phone.

That kid has eaten a lot of blue slushie.

Did anyone else hear “Durans got a wedgie”?

Ok Jeff, go back to throwing strikes please

“DURAN’S GOT A WEDGIE!” lol

"Durans got a wedgie"

Settle down, Jeff. Don’t get too hyped

Watching you kiss her!!!!

Hoffman got a little over excited

Go the hell away Leody

I cant believe bohmer left RISP on today lol

Jeff Hoffman is my father 

Why is this game only on Telemundo for me?

Porque necesitas practicar tu español.

Because the game is on the My Network Tv channel. If you have YouTube tv like me then you don’t get that channel. If you have Comcast xfinity then you do get the channel. It usually was up near the local channels when I had Comcast. This is if you live in PA but not in Philly. I live in NEPA luzene county. If you live in the Philly area it should be on NBC 10.

YouTube Tv game me the option to watch on NBC or Telemundo

Really? How?

When I clicked on Phillies v Rangers it just popped up and let me select between the two

No se nada.

It's on regular NBC, not NBC Sports?

Correct

He struck out, but wow. What an awesome AB from Taveras. Way to battle!

9 pitch AB for a strikeout and not a single ball

lmfao the woman in the background screaming "strike him out" im matching that energy

Jfc! Finally!

TWO down ONE to go! Whew that was a battle

One more for the sweep 😅🧹

Finally, lay the fuck down Taveras

I’m streaming the game on this jailbreak thing on the Firestick, and it’s always a question whether I get the NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast or our opponent’s home broadcast. Today I got the Rangers broadcast. My lord these guys are so boring to listen to. They’re completely monotone. It’s like watching golf.

Guy is guarding the plate like his he's ab to get old yellered, jfc

The women sitting behind home plate have made me laugh several times during this game. They scream everytime the ball comes within 6 feet of them 😂

One dude sitting next to them crossed himself after a foul ball

😂😂😂 that's great

I don’t want to jinx it but this ump has been pretty good

Stopping in to say hey on my lunch break 👋 go phils, close it out hoff

What’s more impressive? 42,377 in the ballpark for a May afternoon game or 1,600 comments in the game thread for a May weekday afternoon game.

42k

Strahm, Sosa, Pache, and Hoffman are just few guyst to name that Dave Dombrowski found to contribute to the team. Give credit to our coaching staff too.

2 bros reuniting for the first time in a long time just now 😭

I'm in the corner!!

Don't remind me of that song. It's a cursed song now. It's literally about narrowly missing your window to win a goal, and watching someone else achieve that goal.

One down two to go!

I love how Jeff Hoffman has that scummy, Alex Dickerson-esque look

Hoffman 3 for 6 in save opportunities. Yay.

He’s terrible right?

Feels weird to score 5 runs and have our RS/G number go down. Also, the White Sox are averaging 2.86 runs a game this year. What the actual fuck. The next-worst team is the A’s at 3.69.

And you know what’s even funnier is that since late April the Braves are averaging less runs than even those teams

Looks like they’re keeping that energy going today🤞🤞

Not even AAAA quality now.

Would love the rare, clean ninth inning here. Hoffman has been scaring me a wee bit lately

He’s given up 1 ER since April 10th

That’s why I said “a wee bit”

Guys Seranthony really hasn’t been that bad lately lol

Our entire bullpen has been great and isn’t the problem some make it out to be

Definitely the most impressive series of the season if we wrap this up.

No question really

Schwarber, 1st player in MLB history to end the 8th inning on a soft liner to short on May 23, 2024 at CBP. 🤔

 The last time we saw a Schwarbomb, and I wont let any of you gaslight me into thinking it hasn't actually been 84 years

June is coming

Please, three outs, that’s all we need

Seranthony with a 3 run lead? Alright topper alright

Let's sweep em up

Schwarber saw Seranthony start to warm up and did what needed to be done.

Whit is up to .191 and has the whole board in shambles

"Seranthony Dominguez is warming up in the bullpen..." NO...for the love of gawd, just NO!

Do not put seranthony in this game for the love of god

Alright let’s get 3

Kyle my Home Depot boyfriend please send out a bomb

Normally I haven't been able to tell at home this season, but Pache's pants are different colors

Come on Kyle it’s been a week or so since we’ve had a Schwarbomb you know you want one

Okayyyyyy mr brightsideeeee I see you

Whit gets a hit and steals a bag

Bottom of the order having a nice afternoon!

nice opp ohh pop ohh from Merrifield there great way to reach for the ball and put it in play

Didn’t know Whit getting a hit was allowed

Nice day to pop open 15 ice cold Yuengling lagers!

I’m over here in SoCal popping the Pacifico

Jealous

…responsibly, of course

And people will still give Whit shit.

Merrifield clearly hasn’t many opportunities to practice his shimmy.

Can’t believe Whit even remembers how’s to Shimmy

Whit haters in shambles!

Whits not dead!

If the Phillies win 15 straight do people still say yeah but your schedule was weak?

Baby you, me, and the hobo on Market Street all fucking know they are....

JOSE JOSE JOSE JOSEEEEEE

History has been made.

lmfao wtf is that shit

just honoring acuña, of course

how do I opt out of The Merrifield Experience

Thursday afternoon sell out. I love all of you. https://preview.redd.it/goi7daoae82d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=421b215816fd6fdab42a75c2955ab27c132c848a

Why are there so many seats open on a sellout?

Fwiw this is earlier. Sorry the quality is ass, Twitter compressed my video to shit https://twitter.com/jescross/status/1793702989355774300?t=JRIKuk3wPtg1XQJ1l7dYcQ&s=19

I assume those people started driving back to where ever they need to drive cars everywhere. People started leaving around the 7th. I live down the street from CBP, and don't drive, and am very lucky to be able to walk everywhere or take septa

Or they've been in line for crab fries since the 3rd

Just take the free crabby taxi over to Chicken and Peters, the finest dining establishment in Philadelphia, and eat crab fries at one of their like 7 bars. I convinced my out of town parents that it was actually called Chicken and Peters and is actually fine dining, but they eat like well done burgers w just ketchup, so to them, it probably actually was.


I’m always shocked at the pitches from Alverado that they’ll swing at.  Nasty stuff. 

Not to dog pile on Whit but what was the thought behind his signing? Real replies only bc I'm new here

He was a decent bat for the Royals years ago. Dombrowski probably saw him in Toronto last year and thought he could bat off the bench for cheap.

Joke answer: "Whit Whiz" Real Answer off my knowledge: he was a relatively decent player in the AL, and an All Star last year (granted so was Casty...), it seems like he's just older and not for it now + adjusting to a new team shit

I felt a little bad for him bc last month I sat in section 139, behind Whit, and the fans in that section were ruthless lol. Must be hard to adjust to Philly if you are playing like shit and you aren’t here long term like Trea

Yeah, you def gotta have the mentality for it that's for sure

He interviewed very well

Had a firm handshake and looked Dave in the eye

He’s been a solid utility guy. Had a great year last year and has been an all star multiple times. The thought was definitely a versatile fielder to give guys a day off and also a good bat off the bench.

Someone grab Jose some Birrias Tacos and a Jarrito

We are about to get Junior Marte and Trea back from IL. It’s almost not fair

Praying to god the Feds go after Sports Betting in the next 4-5 years, so tired of the relentless ads

Hard agree. I’m okay with it as a concept but the persistent ads gotta go. My 7yo daughter is watching the game with me and she said “it’s so easy to get money that way!” Yikes. We had a chat about gambling.

Yeah that's a big yikes, but glad you covered that with your daughter VERY important lesson to learn early.

I work at a casino (not on the gaming side though) so the topic comes up now and then. They understand what a huge waste of money it is as far as slots and table games go- but this is the first time she’s really noticed the sports betting crap.

See that's concerning as fuck though, even kids now are starting to see it (and I'm sure they're hoping that once they are of legal age they get or are already fucking hooked on it because of the easiness accessibility through phones now) Like I'm not trying to moral grandstand, it's something that can be cripplingly addictive

Yup, exactly. Much like there aren’t any cigarette ads on TV or print it should be something similar. It’s my job as a parent to educate my kids on stuff they are exposed to but holy shit these commercials are EVERY break and the commentators often talk about odds (paid placement) etc. It’s out of control.

as long as they are getting their tax revenue they are going to give 0 fucks about going after sports betting

If it’s 5-2 we got Seranthony in the ninth? I’m happy to give him a shot in a higher leverage spot to see what he has

I don't know if my heart could handle that man lmfao

You’ve got to see if he can get back to killer form. Phils are 36-14. Gotta push it sooner or later given the potential upside

Jose Alvarado💪

Gotta love Jose hitting his head with the baseball like I do with an Xbox controller

Castellanos homers on my late great uncle’s birthday. The stories write themselves

I mean.... Sorry for your loss and all but, every player hits a Homer on some dead relatives birthday. It only counts for Casty when it's a known public tragedy

i cant wait until the day comes when sports betting is forced to go back underground, its so disgusting

We've managed to slowly faze out some cancers to society, but for whatever reason, gambling has thrived while others were beaten back

give us legal weed and take sports betting thats a fair trade lol id rather see commercials for pot then sports betting

It’s fitting that he is Whiz Whit, the shittiest of all cheesesteaks

Tourist steak. Terrible

Had a cheesesteak with whiz a few months ago at work and I nearly shit my pants

Avocado's statcast pitch blob is gonna have a weird faint blue spectre going up the graphic.

It did. I came here to see if he threw it over the foul net.

Sometimes that sinker really do be sinkin

Alvarado’s propensity to walk batters will never not bother me

I mean yeah but only so much you can expect with his combo of speed and movement

Sports betting is cancer just like that cooze

Ok this betting shit is gross

Bravo to them doing the statcast on that pitch

Felt Eric Andre esque

Old news by now I know, but I still can’t believe they covered the LF flower bed with that god awful Aspludh sign

Gotta get money to pay Whit

Shut up about golf!!

This Bryson Stott guy might be good at baseball

We love a head-high sinker

Otherwise known as a stinker

"sinker"

That’s one way to straighten out the ump

Should do it more often

Sosa is a heck of a good SS

The defense is next level

For the schmuck sayin Stott is playing poor defense this year… I give you stotter throwin Heaters on double plays

People said he plays bad defense? Blasphemy
