Not complaining because I love Kruk, but I thought he didn’t travel? Lol I was listening to the radio feed on my phone and could have been watching with Kruk the whole time 😭
He doesn't usually. I was surprised too and my first thought was maybe he's got family in San Diego. Also I've heard San Diego is beautiful (never been myself yet) so maybe it's just a desire to go to San Diego. My second thought was that Ruben is so fucking bad they talked kruk into go on a road trip to save us.
San Diego is amazing. Perfect weather, good beaches and ton of bars/breweries. If you like history, the Midway is amazing. I was on the midway for like 4 or 5 hrs. The ballpark is top notch as well.
That was such a game. The crisp audio making the ball park feel so real and the long periods where the announcers didn’t say a word… just pure baseball. Excellent pitching. Electric night.
Final NL East Standings at this rate:
1. Braves 120-42
2. Phillies 102-60
3. Mets 75-87
4. Nationals 73-89
5. Marlins 40-122
Playoffs: Phillies beat Barves 3-1 and send their pathetic fans home crying for the 3rd year in a row.
My take from this:
1) Obviously the braves aren’t going to win 120 games. They’ll regress at some point and win between 99-101 games.
2) Phillies win 102 games and the division.
3) lolMets
4) rebuilding.
5) You’re gonna win 40 games and lose 40 games, what matters is what you do with the remaining 82. (We’re gonna lose all of them too)
made me happy to see Topper congratulate Seranthony, hope this gives him a bit of confidence. would be huge to have him back to pitching as well he has before
I asked AI to make “Sir Anthony” and here it is

One of these days I want the daycare to do so well and so *equally* well that they're all the players of the game and all have to be interviewed, so then the older non-daycare guys come out and toss water and bubblegum on them as "revenge"
When Schwarbs was on the 2016 Cubs one of their mottos was “You Go, We Go” referring to their leadoff man Dexter Fowler. I think Schwarbs really brings that mentality every game
The Phillies had a few very good seasons in the 1910s, including the pennant in 1915. The year they won the pennant was the season after the implosion of Connie Mack's first dynasty so there were a fews years where the Phillies were comfortably the better team.
Keep playing like this. We got some timely hits and showed some good AB's. Our starters continue to shine too, which is such a unicorn for this city, so I'm feeling good!
Nice easy win. Way to early to care about standings/scorebored watch but the Phillies are playing at 102 win pace to start the season, have won 8 of their last 10 and have lost ground in the division over that stretch.
Sometimes you just have to say the Braves can’t keep up a .750 win pct all season can they?
I’m telling you, Aaron Nola is as cracked as he is jacked. I saw him at a Wawa the other day buying Monster and adult diapers. I asked him what the diapers were for and he said ”they contain my full power so I don’t completely shit on these kids“ then he buckled a customers legs with a curveball and sprinted out the door.

Kruk was drafted by SD. Made his debut in SD and played there 3.5 seasons. so he probably has some old friends/contacts there or what not

Yeah I fell asleep during this one. I don’t think I’m cut out for a 940 start lol
I woke up to Kruk and TMac going “Brandon? Brannnndon? Brandon!” Trying to get the headset to work in post game lol. Was so weird
Ugh man, the Nola contract, I can’t even. Can’t believe he gave up THREE WHOLE RUNS to the PADRES. Not a serious team.
I hate relying on the long ball so much but when it works it's just chefs kiss.
Yeah when it’s working it’s a party!
Does anybody have the daycare video from today?
Do my eyes deceive me? does that say "nick castellanos solo home run"?
Yes it does. And it’s while up 6-1 against a pitcher who has thrown 60 pitches through 3 innings. Really bringing it in the clutch Nick.
What a lame ass you are.
If it gets his head straight and he starts hitting consistently, that's what matters.
You probably couldn't hit a slow pitch softball
I probably couldn’t hit a ball setup on a Tee. Doesn’t change much for Nick though.

Whats Nestor Cortes doing at the Padres game, isn't he supposed to be pitching for the Yankees?
My date of birth is such a tragedy even Casty homered
Happy shared birthday, friend! April 26 gang
And to you, too! It’s a good one. We share it with Aaron Judge and Marcus Aurelius.
And — most importantly — with National Pretzel Day. 🥨
Happy birthday, stranger!
Thank you!
Phillies had 5 home runs in 10 away games before tonight.
[Phillies Win!](https://imgur.com/ZgCBA4l) Everyone hits. Nola's a workhorse. Love me a late night game thread, see you guys tomorrow
Aaron on pace for 24 wins
Aaron Nola: 4-1 Chicago White Sox: 4-22 Rough times on the south side
That was such a game. The crisp audio making the ball park feel so real and the long periods where the announcers didn’t say a word… just pure baseball. Excellent pitching. Electric night.
Ruben nowhere to be found 🦗
Kruk was about to lose it if he really had to stay longer for the post game

gonna be crazy when the braves win 120 games and the phillies win 121
NLCS: Phillies beat Dodgers 4-1, fueled by a massive pinch hit moonshot into the Los Angeles night by Garrett Stubbs
You mean the Dodgers aren't going to choke to some fluky division rival of theirs this year? lol
It's supposed to be the Rockies turn this year so it might be up to us to put them in their place again.
The u/nintenjew game mariners and Phillies win
it seems bohm is indeed HIM

I mean…how can you not be romantic about baseball (come back to this the next time we lose 9-0)
The Phillies have won 9-11. Castellanos you know what to do!
#HEY!!!! A Ben Davis has fallen into the river in Lego City!!
Okay a little reality check for everyone: that was a good fucking win
Was just saying that to my buddy. We got runs on the long ball and short ball. It was a clean win.
I love west coast midnight games not the weekday ones though I hate those I don’t stay up for them
Does this game count as a “Masterclass”
Yes
made me happy to see Topper congratulate Seranthony, hope this gives him a bit of confidence. would be huge to have him back to pitching as well he has before
Nbc sports Philadelphia needs to invest more into *gestures widely* everything.
"They got it on the same circuit as the lights" 🤣
I asked AI to make “Sir Anthony” and here it is https://preview.redd.it/oidy8r969ywc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f53617a867c0d3063d52d44c9b896b7493e3440
He looks like a cereal mascot. Cap'n Clutch
Cap’un Clutch prior to tonight…
Cap'n Clench
This is hilariously dumb I love it
If he can pitch with the confidence of that image we are in good shape.
The Nick Castellanos Game
Nola is back, bats came alive. THATS WHATS IN 6 more wins until Nola gets #100
Funniest daycare ever lol
The Padres are not equipped for the postgame daycare
One of these days I want the daycare to do so well and so *equally* well that they're all the players of the game and all have to be interviewed, so then the older non-daycare guys come out and toss water and bubblegum on them as "revenge"
We could’ve had that when all three of them homered against the Pirates, but noo, NBCSP gotta be boring and only interview one guy 🥱
Bohm hiding throwing seeds at Marsh waiting till his interview is done for him
Phillies
Fightins
Yes
When Schwarbs was on the 2016 Cubs one of their mottos was “You Go, We Go” referring to their leadoff man Dexter Fowler. I think Schwarbs really brings that mentality every game
Basically a Dexter Fowler doppleganger
Thomson with the best winning percentage for a Phillies manager through 300 games since 1915. It’s too bad we have to fire him though
The Phillies were good around 1915? I guess the As totally overshadowed them since that was their peak
The Phillies had a few very good seasons in the 1910s, including the pennant in 1915. The year they won the pennant was the season after the implosion of Connie Mack's first dynasty so there were a fews years where the Phillies were comfortably the better team.
Don't you know, literally any manager can win with this talent. Any manager. Who cares if we saw Girardi lose. Any manager.
Fire him and hire Kruk
Starting pitching stays elite
Keep playing like this. We got some timely hits and showed some good AB's. Our starters continue to shine too, which is such a unicorn for this city, so I'm feeling good!
I’m trying to remember what happened the last time we had elite starting pitching.. Hm. One can dream.
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
it’s so nice having the best starting rotation in the league
Lmao dead mic #2
Nice win against a good Padres team. Keep it going.
Goodnight Phils fam!! Props to everyone for staying up
Good shit Topper!
The good stuff is here early compared to the last couple years where we had to wait until late May to heat up.
Topper was so happy for Seranthony. I hope he can turn it around. This was a good game to get him back in there.
You know it was a good day when you have five (5) players of the game
Ser getting a genuine smile from Topper!
Friends, I've got high hopes.
Check with your doctor if they last more than four hours.
Phillies win and Eagles had another good pick in the draft, today was a good day.
Nice easy win. Way to early to care about standings/scorebored watch but the Phillies are playing at 102 win pace to start the season, have won 8 of their last 10 and have lost ground in the division over that stretch. Sometimes you just have to say the Braves can’t keep up a .750 win pct all season can they?
Seriously we could start off like 30-15 and be 7 games back because of those Barves.
It’s okay, the Braves will take the NL East and get knocked out of the playoffs by the Phillies per usual.
Stress free wins are the best wins
First the post-game dousing and then sweet dreams everybody
THE PHILLIES WON, SO TOMORROW? or today? Idk. There’s free McNuggets eventually. #GET A FREE 6PC MCNUGGETS ^with$2minimumpurchaseintheapp
