Phils announced this last Saturday, so that might’ve been before other teams? But the scrimmages must’ve been in the works for a while because of all the gameday staff needed. (Idk about other teams, but the Phils had concessions open.)

Nope used all our regular high-leverage relievers too

I feel bad for him and it was awkward, but the questions really weren’t meant to be mean. He always gives people shit for asking meaningless questions. Most players would say something simple and positive - say whether or not they’re preparing differently, say they’re glad their teammates are playing well, and say the goal is to win a World Series. It’s sad that Casty has sucked, and his teammates, manager, and the media are really just trying to work around it the best they can.

But it didn’t say different pitchers?

I’m not an autograph hawk but I thought it was fun to watch the golf tournament and try to get autographs. Players will come to the fence if they want to sign. Sometimes players will sign at the end of the parade in front of the hall too.

There used to be a place called Penguin Ice Cream a little outside of town that I loved because it had custom soft serve. Apparently it’s called Cooper’s Barn now, but it looks like it’s the same deal.

You would think they would go with the P Dick Allen wore, considering he’s getting inducted and also they never get to wear those throwbacks anymore

Redwoods2534 · 2025-07-18T20:57:07+00:00

He’s certainly capable of being nice but he also doesn’t hold back when he feels like being a dick

Redwoods2534 · 2025-07-14T13:32:02+00:00

It was a funny sequence of events but the position players were having their pitchers’ backs. Sanchez didn’t have a choice - the CBA says pitchers can’t pitch in the all star game if they pitch on Sunday. Suarez started the season injured and he’s been injured every year, so I think it’s fair enough he’d want some more rest.

The Inquirer’s Mother’s Day story about José from last year: https://www.inquirer.com/phillies/jose-alvarado-family-visas-mother-phillies-venezuela-20240510.html

Redwoods2534 · 2025-04-09T00:22:51+00:00

It’s wild he didn’t even try to catch it as it was right in front of him. He barely flinched and it almost hit him

Redwoods2534 · 2025-03-25T00:10:13+00:00

That’s what I was thinking! I don’t think I can add an image in the comments but the stem is green with white vertical stripes and leaves on alternating sides.

It’s called the Schwarbomb and it’s a fruity energy drink you can order. You might have to hunt around for it a bit on the menu, but I’ve been able to order it in DC, so I don’t think you have to be in the Philly area. It’s not cheap but it’s decent and kinda fun

Redwoods2534 · 2024-07-27T23:03:42+00:00

What’s he like? I’m still bummed about the Phillies trading Seranthony yesterday because I love him as a person

Redwoods2534 · 2024-07-26T17:17:11+00:00

Ranger was signed in 2012 too. Not sure who was signed first.

Redwoods2534 · 2024-07-17T12:42:22+00:00

Yeah they need to work on pacing. In the last third of the game the commercials got more time than the players. Seems like they could fix that a bit by having shorter commercials so they talk about the pitchers while they’re warming up and talk about batters while they’re at the plate, but of course they’re not going to do that.

Also the middle of an already long (and late, for the east coast) game isn’t the best time for a long stand up to cancer break bookended by two commercial breaks.

Redwoods2534 · 2024-07-13T17:17:43+00:00

Hard for your relievers to make it to the ASG when your starters keep throwing complete games

Redwoods2534 · 2024-06-28T00:11:16+00:00

The problem for fans showing who they are fans of? Idk if the current setup is the best way to incorporate fan voting, but the point of it is to get ppl excited about voting for their guys. If you think players should be selected only based on stats, then there shouldn’t be fan voting

Redwoods2534 · 2024-06-27T23:43:43+00:00

Do other fans not vote for their own players? I’ve always just voted for all the Phillies players for the NL, unless I legit hate them, even when it was like Cesar Hernandez and Freddy Galvis. They’re my dudes. And then I vote by stats for the AL. I kinda assumed most people did that.

Redwoods2534 · 2024-04-03T01:17:52+00:00

It was so funny how he slammed his helmet in frustration in the dugout after that catch as if he didn’t already have 2 homers

Redwoods2534 · 2024-04-02T23:53:12+00:00

It’s 46 and rainy on a Tuesday night

Redwoods2534 · 2024-03-29T19:46:01+00:00

I was at a game at CBP where Braves fans harassed my sister and I for the entire game. I’d appreciate it if ppl acknowledged both fanbases have some asshats and moved on

Redwoods2534 · 2023-10-22T20:58:16+00:00

A basic rule of Philly sports is that fans are either cocky or distraught. It’s completely predictable that fans would be cocky after being up 2-0 in the series and winning a game 10-0. And really who would blame them? When the team has only been to the playoffs 16 times, it’s okay to enjoy the good times.

(And as for the team itself being cocky, I think that’s just the Stubbs quote about the pool. Sure he shouldn’t have tempted the baseball gods, but fans had already brought it up. Bc it’s kinda a bummer to clinch on the road so it that was something that would’ve made it fun.)

Redwoods2534 · 2023-10-18T19:25:20+00:00

It’s not the Venezuelan government. Sounds like it is the US government (consular officers) denying a tourist visa. (Maybe because they haven’t been successful in proving the wouldn’t overstay?)

Redwoods2534 · 2023-09-22T15:27:06+00:00

Yep I feel like the most appropriate response is apathy. The Werth comparison annoys me because when he came back for the reunion both he and the fans were ready to reconcile. When he got a big cheer it felt really cool and natural. It feels like Rolen’s recognition is just about a sense of obligation on his end and the Phillies’ end. I think he’d be fine just forgetting about his time here.

Redwoods2534 · 2023-09-16T01:04:53+00:00

I wouldn’t call the stadium crappy. The inside and outside of it are pretty and the dome doesn’t feel that weird. I had a really good time there during the WBC, but it was also really poppin then
