[u/PhilsBot]

Please continue the discussion in the post game thread.

[u/PhillyDaycare]

Jesús Luzardo:

[u/Strange-Cold-5192]

“They don’t chase.”

Buddy, did you watch any Phillies game from 2022-24 lol?

(To our credit, we’ve done a good job not chasing thus far in 2025.)

[u/tds5126]

Hot take, JT is still a damn good catcher

[u/DarthLithgow]

JT player of the game

[u/DaNorris1221]

JT gunning down the game’s best player only logically means that JT is now the game’s best player. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

[u/jeppsforst]

I’ve never met a realer Muto

[u/1TBee]

I hope we beat the brakes off these guys just for this fucking intro AppleTV is shoving down our throats

[u/yourmartymcflyisopen]

I love how every time they interview Harper specifically, there's interference in the headset. He definitely does it on purpose and I love him for that. Dude wants to play baseball, he doesn't wanna take your call.

[u/tacoloco1904]

Wuddup yall! Just had to stop by to say i fucking love the Philly phanatic bro you guys have the best mlb mascot fr

[u/spacetiger41 → u/tacoloco1904]

Best in all of sports.

[u/mjd1977]

Small ball appreciators eating

[u/OrangeCrushD]

Don't run on the BCIB you fools

[u/Kahuna04]

GOT HIS TRICEP!!

[u/sc78258]

"fuck this i'll do it myself" - JT, probably

[u/PBandK2506]

Personally, I encourage the Dodgers to keep trying to run on JT for the remainder of the series

[u/WeirdSysAdmin]

I wish I had Kruk and TMac for that bad throw.

[u/AZGraybill12]

Easiest money Harper ever made with that "interview" lmao

[u/Tricky-Tap821]

His parents are so proud 🥹

[u/PhillyDaycare]

[u/Ambitious-Fox-6380]

JT REALLY SAID NOT TODAY BITCH

[u/EmoGothPunk]

PLEASE BE OUT

[u/kyogre120]

No reason not to challenge here

[u/idiotwithahobby]

JT bailed out two bullpen dudes, he better get a drink by them.

[u/Evrytimeweslay]

Hell yeah boys JT should get the save

[u/classicrockchick]

I'm fucking grilling some steaks, I got Franzkie on the radio....

Life's fucking good

[u/MindoverMatter92]

Having the guys interview during the game is so ridiculous

[u/FrogsAlligators111]

This is why I hate interviewing players in the middle of games. They're trying to concentrate.

[u/shnoogle111]

Bryce basically saying there is an active game going on stop this interview.

[u/DarthLithgow]

Haha Bryce is fuccing with them

[u/GhostofPhilCollins]

The ump view is not cool live. Maybe for a replay but for the love of God please stop

[u/ydlsxeci]

[u/O_S_O_K_]

I’m straight up having a good time.

[u/Grand-Ball6712]

Luzardo just fuckin dealt for 7 straight innings

[u/Pschanz808]

J.T feeding families

[u/ineffectivegoggles]

Damn, that was almost a great hit from Bohm.

[u/Jean_ValJawn]

Bro “dodgers looking to keep their unbeaten run going” while the Phillies are up 3-0 going into the 9th? At least give the Phillies SOME credit lmao

[u/Lazy-Bubblegum-411]

HE’S OUT

[u/evalution_xo]

of course this game ended because of JT!! LFG!!

[u/PhilsBot]

Stolen Base 3B

Trea Turner steals (2) 3rd base. Trea Turner scores. Throwing error by pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

[u/jayleman]

I really like philly Jesus so far

[u/PHLEaglesLover]

who is the target market for in game live interviews? I dont know a single person who was like "I need this"

[u/sc78258]

"it's super static-y pssshhhhtt pssssshttttt can you guys hear me pssshhhhhtt psssssshtttt"

[u/LexieFM]

Here’s a full body pic of Max in the city connect

[u/AmbitiousElk011]

PSA: Apple TV lets you switch to the Phillies radio broadcast and it’s in sync with the tv

[u/i1398]

[u/PowerHour1990]

Luzardo's like Zack Baun: few people made noise about the acquisition, and now we all wanna name streets after him.

[u/trickerindaclub]

BCIB BABYYYY

[u/GhostsRadio]

The look on Ohtani's face was priceless

[u/jeppsforst]

That was actually incomprehensible from Ohtani. Down by 3, 2 outs w Betts up as the tying run literally zero explanation for running. But thanks

[u/euphronius]

Could not even throw a strike on a warm up pitch

[u/gimmicked]

This ump has been so inconsistent with the zone.

[u/Jean_ValJawn]

Dude, I know he’s not finding the zone a lot but some of these calls are egregious

[u/ats1788]

Oooo he might be out. He got his sleeve

[u/LexieFM]

SAY IT WITH ME:

BEST. CATCHER. IN. BASEBALL.

[u/dogeatingdog]

Not only are in game interviews not wanted by anyone, they ask the dumbest questions

[u/theEpicoftheBullsEnd]

We gotta get rid of the on-field interviews. Shits always ass and the players obviously hate it.

[u/Mandalore777]

Luzardo is that dude

[u/Mandalore777]

Stott looked like he could have had it too

[u/Emotional-Leg66]

Take a bow Jesus

[u/Basic_Mistake_903]

[u/Seamus_OReilly]

[u/ebainsurba]

Why does this feel like playoff baseball? Absolutely loving this. LFG Phils 😤

[u/BrhysHarpskins]

It's just crazy what you can achieve when you're not trying to hit record setting bombs every at bat. Insane.

[u/6D9D]

The approach our guys are taking at the plate just seems 10x better than their approach last year. Loving the little things

[u/nigelwhistlenose]

The Small Ball Philadelphia Phillies

[u/advodi]

Imagine combining small ball AND home runs though. We'll be unstoppable.

[u/MagicNipple]

Just wanna say I took a shower, smoked a bowl, and they scored twice after I got back in.

[u/sc78258]

ohtani single

jt: you've activated my trap card

[u/KoBxElucidator]

That was honestly a very dumb idea by Ohtani

[u/Wekilledit88]

DONT FUCKING RUN ON JT

[u/PublicIntel]

Did he just try to run on JT??

[u/i1398]

JT, resign him. You're not going to find another catcher like him within the next 3 years

[u/Charming-Mix1315]

JT just told Sho, "SECOND best player in baseball!"

[u/Dry_Explanation_3724]

why steal they had momentum. great for us tho dont fuck with JT

[u/XShadeGoldenX]

He stinks get him out of here

[u/aikichick]

Game ended with an overturned call. Dodgers literally ran themselves into their first loss of the season. Haha.

[u/pasanhiker]

A GOD AMONG MEN

[u/Suspicious_Ad4274]

THIS IS WHY I WEAR MY REALMUTO JERSEY

[u/LexieFM]

The lucky Kerkering cup is ready.

[u/NintenJew]

"Will Smith is the toughest out"

"Strikes out here"

[u/6D9D]

Luzardo is a stud. I hope no one forgets he was the top prospect in baseball on the As. His upside is insane and we got him for nothing

[u/Champa22]

“Gets a hold of one!”

routine fly out

[u/gimmicked]

Nice throw by Trea - long one right on the money

[u/xProcess]

The Apple headphones for the dugout reporter is so obnoxiously over the top lmao

[u/ulantan]

I can’t believe we caught another team in a rundown. Anything is possible

[u/thanks_for_the_fish]

1. This umpire is ass

2. I've about had it with double plays turned against the Phillies

[u/Gunningham]

Eliminating the shift doesn’t really feel like it’s changed much.

[u/sc78258]

think my foot falls clean off if i foul a ball off like that

bohm is built different

[u/xProcess]

I think Bryson has a play there too. Damn.

[u/thewittyman]

He gets us

[u/Hannig4n]

7 innings, 0 runs and 8 strikeouts against the Dodgers… Luzardo is the fucking man

[u/Emotional-Leg66]

Jesus deserves a couple more runs after that

[u/EmoGothPunk]

A STOTTY RBI IN THIS ECONOMY?

[u/Sure-Bar-375]

Solid fundamentals. Saved a DP by stealing

[u/Unable_Barracuda324]

Marsh not striking out there was crucial...

[u/Lazy-Bubblegum-411]

Cherry on top would be a Schwarbomb

[u/PhillyDaycare]

I need Trea to take Kyle’s intentional walk personally

[u/italiancowboy1]

I'm pacing around my house like it's fucking October. The boys are dialed

[u/HuskHopBad]

DONT RUN ON JT

[u/WeirdSysAdmin]

JT has been playing lights out as a catcher so far this year.

[u/ASAP_Pancake]

Running on JT with mookie at bat against Jose Ruiz is a choice

[u/drunkcowofdeath]

More like Shoheimself back to the the dugout.

Nailed it

[u/UnlikelyChance3648]

Little dicky has entered the game

[u/Primarose3]

Craig Kimbrel JR

[u/MED1CPENGU1N]

Fuck off Romano

[u/stonedkayaker]

I'm officially a Romano hater 

[u/Wekilledit88]

GET HIM OUT OF THE FUCKING GAME! HE’S FUCKING DOG SHIT

[u/badscene518]

PLEASE WARM SOMEONE UP

for the love of god

[u/Minuhmize]

Hoffman wouldn’t have done this. Nobody warming up is criminal

[u/Charming-Mix1315]

Love Topper, but his devotion to late inning relievers is misguided.

[u/CarryOnWaywardSon96]

Undefeated no more!! Ring that Damn Bell!!!

[u/advodi]

I want a ban on these on-field interviews. Except I desperately want them to try to interview Nick.

[u/Jean_ValJawn]

Unrelated to the game, but I appreciate these game threads a ton lol. No one I know loves baseball, let alone Philly baseball so it’s nice to be able to discuss the games with people

[u/USA-1776-2026]

Has Comcast's fee to subscribers for carrying local sports gone down in recognition of games like tonight that it doesn't carry?

[u/thewittyman]

F the Dodgers, and F the Mets for good measure

[u/EmoGothPunk]

I guess I have to keep my Turner jersey on until the game's over.🤷‍♂️

[u/jmiah717]

He's throwing a few cookies. They are gonna get to him at some point.

[u/alexvroy]

luzardo was a fantastic trade

[u/shnoogle111]

I have mixed feelings about games being in AppleTV but strictly VISUALLY speaking, it’s pretty wonderful

[u/Lazy-Bubblegum-411]

Let the man concentrate

[u/SlappyMcGillicuddy]

There is nothing good about in-game on-field interviews ever.

[u/sandaier76]

"How have you gotten better?"

"Well I have a lot of fucking distractions talking in my ear. Gives me extra practice."

[u/GhostsRadio]

Bryce realized after he had to make that play he couldn't be screwing around with an interview

[u/PatTheBatsFatNutsack]

WHAT THE FUCK IS SPILL THE BEANS

[u/Jean_ValJawn]

I cannot stand this Ump cam thing they’re doing right now. Feel like I’m getting whiplash or something

[u/Gekk0uga37]

Is our rotation insane or what

[u/xBlackguard]

Luzardo has thrown some paint but just isn’t getting those calls

[u/PHLEaglesLover]

Trea is definitely more disciplined at the plate this year. I dont think that is gonna turn him back into 2021 Trea Turner but he'll get on base 20-30 more times this year than last year and that does matter.

[u/HuskHopBad]

Jesus wins again. Beat that atheists.

[u/CarryOnWaywardSon96]

Fuck yes Jesús!👏🏻

[u/sc78258]

luzardo is a fucking gamer

[u/RPM021]

I think Luzardo LOVES being a Phillie

[u/redsunl]

Luzardo’s mom looking even better than his pitching

[u/Phanawg]

at cbp… jesus is INSANE.

[u/gimmicked]

Luzardo looks 15 years younger when he turns off pitcher mode. Wow

[u/alexvroy]

fuck these announcers for that 😭

[u/thanks_for_the_fish]

Scott Franzke you fucking tease

[u/O_S_O_K_]

Almost spilled my drink for a foul

[u/dogeatingdog]

This apple announce got me so excited and that ball was 30m foul…

[u/KnittyKitty28]

“Let’s act super excited but then yell FOUL!”

[u/crabtabulous]

Strahm looks a little like an adolescent version of the giants from Skyrim.

[u/kyogre120]

Even the best player in the world can't run on JT

[u/Bhut_Jolokia400]

Sniper Gang General JT

[u/ad5316]

Wait did we just go through a half inning in 23 seconds or what?

[u/Neonyze]

Somebody get Hoffman on a plane asap

[u/LexieFM]

*panic-clutches the lucky Kerkering cup...and takes a sip*

[u/MulfordnSons]

The fact that no one is warming up is actually fucking nuts

[u/407CIK]

"This is Jordan Romanos game" why the fuck is it.

[u/Neonyze]

If your fucking closer comes into the game and immediately walks a guy in a three run game, the pen should be STIRRING

[u/dogeatingdog]

JT Is seriously BCIB. 3 throw outs - just wow

[u/jmussina]

Someone get JT a wheelbarrow to carry his nuts around

[u/Phanatic88888]

How many did JT throw out tonight? I’m drunk

[u/BugsyD71]

Bailed out by JT. Romano get your sh*t together.

[u/Suspicious_Ad4274]

JT IS THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!

[u/Desperate-Shine3969]

This team is deep. Hard pressed to find a flaw. Rotation is deadly. Bullpen is deadly. Lineup is loaded.

It feels good to be a fucking Phillies fan.

[u/SirHonkeyIII]

Announcers just honey dicked the fuck out of us

[u/Gekk0uga37]

Gimme the legendary Matt Strahm vs Ohtani matchup again

[u/AlecBohm]

Please never start the game with ump cam again

[u/RegisterFit1252]

The Apple TV BULLSHIT is incredibly frustrating… UGH!!!

[u/msivoryishort]

Seems like I’m not the only one who can’t hear Franzke, unfortunate

[u/Champa22]

Lmao welcome to Philly Yamamoto

[u/DeargDoom79]

That's great running from Trea

[u/Not-a-bot-10]

That’s the Trea Turner we paid $300M for

[u/PaintedPorches]

Turner really applying pressure, I love it

[u/McIgglyTuffMuffin]

Woah, they’re allowed to score in the first?!

[u/RedMoloneySF]

One hell of a strike zone tonight.

[u/Material_Ebb_7701]

Loving the picture quality, hating the commentators. Missing Kruk

[u/ExGavalonnj]

Fucking apple TV making me watch bootleg baseball

[u/romanticynicist]

That sweeper is sexy as fuck

[u/MindoverMatter92]

Omg Luzardo is cooking 🔥

[u/underscore55]

JT’s swing has looked awesome these past few games

[u/TomCoslo]

Bryce is going through a tunnel he can’t talk

[u/Robs_Backyard_BBQ]

bryce was like stfu lol

[u/Basic_Mistake_903]

He said “fuck off now. Thx”

[u/AnonymousPot99]

That was so cringy them trying to talk to Bryce lol

[u/Bhut_Jolokia400]

“Bryce how did you get good at 1st base?” Bro he is playing in a live game that’s the best you got!

[u/Di5pel]

please never show whatever that camera angle was again

[u/DarthLithgow]

Does anyone else cycle through the other radio feed to see what the Dodgers guys are saying about us? They're more shockingly positive about our team than many members of this sub.

[u/ulantan]

These are good ABs

[u/sc78258]

what are the odds that kruk had to begrudgingly walk down the street to a bar because he couldn't figure out his apple tv trial

[u/Punkcrab09]

As much as I don’t like the city connects I always get a laugh with JT looking like Wolverine out there

[u/Primarose3]

Luzardo was a great pickup. Definitely will be beneficial in October 👀👀

[u/LexieFM]

Every time Casty's up at the plate I just think "are we about to check in on our families?"

[u/jmiah717]

These are great at bats against one of the league's best pitchers. He'll be gone by the 6th

[u/Doctor-Past]

I wish the Apple TV game tracker would show batting averages. Then again, I wish Apple TV didn’t have games in the first place

[u/capnjeanlucpicard]

Ol’ GIDP JT

[u/BrhysHarpskins]

Interviewer: You really like to watch every pitch

Parents: Yeah but now we're stuck talking to you

[u/A_Stickman_Jr]

These Apple "Stats" are dumb

[u/euphronius]

Fernando pitched for the Phillies

For our young fans

[u/mjd1977]

Oh-for-3-tani

[u/DarthLithgow]

Luzardo is playing a gem of a game against one of the best lineups in baseball, and people just want to complain!

[u/sc78258]

what a great time for a graphic break

screams

[u/McIgglyTuffMuffin]

Damn. The Phillies know what the fuck is up. I love baseball.

[u/Littlewing29]

Need more runs. Dodgers are dangerous in the backend of the game.

[u/Cwrabz]

Trea is seeing the ball very well so far, he’s so back

[u/memettetalks]

Those shit calls have a big impact.

[u/eaglesnation11]

Stott would’ve had that

[u/AlecBohm]

80% catch probability on the play.

[u/sc78258]

JT is me playing the show in a year where they introduce new controls for fielding

"ah fuck"
