He drug his nuts across their entire team and made Harper cry like a teenage girl in the dugout after the game. It was hilarious and undoubtedly this years best moment so far.

If Ronald has figured out the 4 seamer thrown high in the zone he can be close to his mvp self again

They better be. There is a 100% chance he is getting thrown at the first pitch he sees.

His HR trot yesterday was amazing to behold. It was one of the most disrespectful ones I’ve ever seen and I mean that as a positive

He absolutely made it clear to every Philly player and all the fans in the stadium who the alpha is and who is in the cuck chair.

Couldn’t happen to a better team. Except maybe the mets

Saint Don Mattingly would NEVER order one of his pitchers to throw at Ronald. That's preposterous. It would never, ever happen! If it did, at least he would own up to it afterwards. He would NEVER deny ordering it like a little bitch.

I hope Ronald wears a flak jacket to the plate because I have a feeling the first pitch he sees is going towards his ribcage.

VA what are your thoughts on how we should proceed with Fuentes into the future?

Keep stretching him out into a starter or turn him into our post Iggy Closer?

High leverage bullpen arm. He is lethal in that role. Having Fuentes as a high leverage pen arm would help AA not spend $70M on the pen every year.

Was the answered I hoped you give because I’m in 100% agreement

He is so immensely valuable in that role off just his skill alone but to have someone at the level of skill making peanuts will be tremendously helpful.

Fun fact:

Ronalds destruction of Philly was the first home run he has ever hit on a pitch 100 mph or higher

The pitch was the 7th straight Fastball all over 100 mph one touching 102. The Home Run was hit off a 101 mph pitch and the exit velocity was 105.9

In the past 14 days he has raised his average exit velocity from 67th % to 73% percentile which is mind blowing if you think about it

He has raised his OPS from .746 to .797 for the season in the last four games

That’s even more mind blowing

If Ronald truly is back I 100% am sure this team can actually go all the way and win the World Series.

We really really need Olson to get it together though.

Never forget Harper was literally crying after the game like a school girl in a Jane Austin novel who was just told she couldn’t attend the upcoming winter ball.

Softest bunch of grown men I’ve ever laid eyes on

Broski will never admit this but Riley post ASB has been a pretty damn solid player.

I’m not claiming he is playing up to his contract or that he is playing to his 2021-2023 peaks but he has been MUCH better than he was the first half of the season and just taking the second half games he has been above replacement level which I don’t think he has been for a long time

Tough matchup today. Luzardo has been one of the best pitchers in baseball since they solved his pitch tipping problem earlier this season.

Philly's starting pitching still makes them scary in a short playoff series. Assuming we land the 3 seed and the Cubs are the 4, I really hope Philly is the 5.

I just looked and the spread between PHI/CHC and SD/AZ is bigger than I thought. PHI/CHC is likely the 4/5 with SD/AZ fighting for the 6.
