Harper with a grand slam! Clemens also having a hell of a game.

Up 8-0.

Who the fuck throws that as a two-strike pitch to Bryce Harper.

8-0 with mostly backups playing.

This was a random Blue Jays fan before the game...

Why the fuck are we playing the Phillies B team. No Alec Bohm and a random shortstop (trea is on IL I know).

Are we that shit we playing a Phillies team having Castellanos in the cleanup spot

Jesus we suck #TOTHECORE

Who the fuck throws that as a two-strike pitch to Bryce Harper.

8-0 with mostly backups playing.

Not only that, both pitches were slurves in almost the same location with near similar speeds. Pitch probably looked like a beach ball to Harper

[Christopher]

Plus with the Phillies up 4-0 and Bryce down 0-2 in the count, he was probably just thinking to go for bust: Either I whiff or homer.

Seriously, though, that's why the Phillies pitching has been so impressive this year. They are talented, yes, but they are outthinking opposing hitters and lineups. Keeping them guessing and off-balance and not making stupid decisions.

5 3 0 0 2 5 for Sanchez

Turnbull will pitch at some point today, Thomson said this afternoon.

Sanchez has other thoughts, lol.
