A perfectly executed hit and run!  Is this 1987?

36 pitches already. I think I like Verlander to go deeper into the game.

If anyone hasn’t noticed, white hate behind home plate is Bagwell and Biggio is beside him
AvatarDan Szymborski

Hat?
Because if Bagwell and Biggio started up a neo-nazi rock group, I'm *way* behind on the news, more than Dusty!

6 up 6 down is a great start but any concern JV sitting 93-95 instead of 97-99.  He does have a reputation of building velo as he goes but...

I'm telling you, dude wants a CGSO

He certainly doesn't look like he's struggling out there

TIL Maldonado is a Silver Slugger finalist.  I had to read that multiple times because it didn't register at first.

Charlie Blackmon too, who didn't hit well even without a Coors adjustment

Verlander's year-average fastball velocity is 95. According to savant he is sitting at 94.6 thus far

I love how they keep finding reasons that the Phils were a Team of Destiny during the season, but never mention *any* of it until they actually do well in the World Series

Narratives are fun and manipulative Dan

"Just happy to be here" is being saved for after the fact.

The Phillie underdog narrative is weird, they literally have the second highest payroll in baseball and underperformed for most of the season

Random fact: Prior to 1980, the only Philadelphia Phillies player to hit a World Series home run was Fred Luderus.

There wasn't a lot about the secret holy fire burning their souls with a passion while they were sucking in September

I did not know that
I would have assumed the Whiz Kids snuck in a solo homer or something

It's almost 30 year anniversary of the last Phillies WS team built around sluggers, not so great defense or bullpen

I think they've done the best they could.

Speaking of white hate, Marsh inspired a very particular chant at the A earlier this season. Sometimes when he wasn’t even batting!

I hope so.   CGSO would be epic.  Might be his last start of 2022 way they're running table

I initially read this as CSGO and didn't get it

Did the McCormick going on the rbi single by Maldonado pull the 2nd baseman over enough to get the ball through? looked like a double play off the bat

Pena has a super interesting windup.  He starts with the bat so low.

Not exactly, but makes me think of Eric Davis

Mike Bordick's 1,500 hits are the most for a player out of the University of Maine. Jeremy Peña has a good chance to exceed that number some day.
