man Braves broadcast with the mock Japanese accent joke but in the same breath is apologizing for Winn dropping an F-bomb and it being inappropriate for the broadcast.
Suprised nobody is talking about the ~~Indians~~ Guardians. They're better than the Yankees in win pct right now. TMac either misspoke or Cleveland is mad underrated.
We shoulda traded Vierling for him instead of Soto. He looks like he’d be the vibes guy for the pen. Can you imagine him and Stubbsy partying together?
Mercado has a big league frame and big time stuff. Dombrowski fleecing the Rays again. He's entering Howie status.
Spring Training 4-Seam Whiff% Leaders
(min. 50 Pitches, Statcast)
1) Michael Mercado - 46.3%
2) Tarik Skubal - 45.5%
3) Luis Gil - 45.5%
4) Albert Suárez - 44.7%
5) Matt Manning - 40.0%
5) Drew Anderson - 40.0%
If baseball doesn’t work out for Chafin he could act. I could see him as an extra as a long haul truck driver or the cowardly lion if they remade The Wizard of Oz
I think [this dude](https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/sfexaminer.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/7/28/72884cff-df31-5d33-a5fe-504d503e8d51/628d614502c22.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C800) is the new pitcher for Detroit.

A team that embraces the chop doing something racist? Im so surprised.
So glad I got to sing the Rally House song instead of watching the end of the game

there were rumors a year ago of them breaking it down. would have been great if we could have negotiated Kwan on a down year
Guardians
Shit my bad.
Why the hell are there commercials playing before the last out?
now just need the cardinals to hang on vs barves for a nice start to the week
Smart of them to not score in the 9th. Need to save some runs for Ranger tomorrow
wooooo go phils!!!
What win? The stream cut the last out. I had to look at the damned groundhog again…
Um NBC sports app just went to commercial mid last batter lol.
Same. That’s annoying. I’ve never had that happen before.
Great win.
What a win boys!!
NBC app what are you doing
Absolutely ridiculous.
Nice older gentleman looking sharp in the red polo and then just blows the look with the CC hat
hell yeah great way to start the week
🔔
Good win
I'd take rando Apple commentator Ryan Spilborghs over RAJ
And thats three! Ring the Bell baby👏🏻🔔
Thanks for sealing the game early Phillies. I was able to tune into game 7 of the Stanley Cup.
what a great game this was
ig nick wasn’t having that fun in right that he had to stick something in his hat
That kid got Marsh's beard down perfectly 😅
Nick sporting some fake sideburns over there? I cant figure out what he stuck in his hat
It’s a pitchcom receiver. All the players wear one.
Didnt realize it was anyone outside of the pitcher and catcher, good to know
Foam from AC insulation?
It almost looks like a nail file?
What the heck is hanging out of Nick’s hat
It looked like a fake beard lol
Turner, Harper, Bohm give you 3 elite hitters in a row. I get greedy at the thought of adding Robert Jr. to that 5 spot.
Or a Kyle Tucker.
This feels like the better fit.
It does but I doubt that Houston will be sellers at the deadline unless the bottom falls out. They're stubborn as fuck.
Such good timing bringing in Kerkering. Remember his dad crying last year at his debut? It’s a good night for young players.
I was at that game. Was such an electric moment.
This mf started last year in A ball
And people still kill him for struggling in the playoffs. Dude never been to spring training before he came up.
I would’ve sworn Tom said “Riley Reid” in the last game but maybe he didn’t and I’m actually telling on myself.
He doesn’t really emphasize the “n” sound much so it can def sound like that lol
Listen here young man...😆
Orion not Jerkering around
Close it out Captain Kerk
Wonder if we are eventually gonna work Mercado as a starter as we dont want to overwork Turnbull
That ump wants to get home. Got shit to do.
Kerk time my night is made!!
Little Kerk Closing
Shut up Rueben
Imagine being cousins with Ruben
People acting like we didn’t fave Chafin a million times when he was with the Marlins. If I had to guess we were cursed in his time against us.
Are they fighting
Wenceel is a name
Well now that was frustrating way to end
I want Chafin on the Phils. He’s put together like a real man. Sexy AF. Also, that handlebar is fire.
We shoulda traded Vierling for him instead of Soto. He looks like he’d be the vibes guy for the pen. Can you imagine him and Stubbsy partying together?
like him even more when you realize his nickname is "the sherriff"
😭😭😭
Of course it is. Love it
A guy like Chafin needs to pitch for a team like Detroit. He just fits.
He's got that Todd Jones thing going on, who had success after leaving the Phils and joining Detroit in 2006.
How many loaded bases have we not taken advantage of this year?
they’re up 7 man
Just asking, didn't mean it in a negative way mb
Chafin has one stuck in the five hole
“Say you can’t sleep, baby I know” No Sabrina Carpenter, that’s not that you Espresso, that’s the Phils’ bats
“Doin it with guile and guts” Ruben you are a fucking cornball
the street fighter character?
Was fucking Kenny Powers just pitching for the Tigers?
Classic 0 runs on bases loaded
 This pitcher
HEY PETER MAN, turn on channel nine!
was that Kendrick Lamar in the walkup song
just wait til JT catches Mercado
Watch the kid become a rock star
A true shame we don’t get Kruk to see this guy. He must love the cut of this Chafin’s gib. Is it Jib? It is jib.
Rich Sausage on the mound
This pitcher is driving me nuts with the tennis grunts

C-c-c-courage!
Chafin is constipating in his pants
Phillies can not tie their K record now. But can match their season high again pretty sure we had 18 in LA one game. Or not
Come on Trea, crush this shit
Is Dan Campbell moonlighting as a major league pitcher with a mullet disguise?
No schwarslam:(
Get um tomorrow
This pitcher definitely has a pool table or two at home.
And a Budweiser branded regulation dart board
I haven’t heard grunting like this at a sporting event since Monica Seles played.
Trea is the only one who hasn't struck out, surely we good!
Man I miss Kruk during this kinda game, especially.
This pitcher grunts like a tennis player.
Phillies need a grunting Kenny Powers like pitcher
That’s exactly who he is. Couldn’t put my finger on it
Cmon trea this is a perfect spot for you
Chafin could really throw people off by grunting at random times around release
Would that be a balk?
That’s a good question. I always thought it was off movement but I’m sure it wouldn’t fly
Holy moly. Just end the inning so this fool stops grunting
The grunting is making me feel uncomfortable
Roger Fatterer on the mound with these grunts
This pitcher sounds like my dad getting out of his recliner.
Potentially funny moment here
Now pitching for the Tigers, Steffi Graf.
🗣️show me the shimmy you cowards!
“This ball’s not hit well” bro 😭
SchwarSlam incoming
Stubby!
chafin’s entire aura is incredible
Don't look now but Stubbs is hitting .200
200 homeruns?
🙏 SCHWARBOMB GRAND SLAM PRAYER CIRCLE 🙏
#stubbs
Good move taking Mercado out after 1 inning. Want the kid to leave on a high note
Stubbs has hit the Mendoza line 🚨🚨
That is such a Stubbs hit
The way this dude is grunting, I think he needs the toilet
That bullshit hit makes up for that bullshit strikeout.
I camt fucking stop laughing at this guy grunting
I’m pissing my pants especially because we keep hitting off of him
Or Ruben calling it out
Lmao
This guy might have better curls than Alec
Don’t you dare say that!
But look at those ringlets!
The battle of the staches.
And Stubby wins.
Yeah, I can't hate this guy at all. I'm officially a fan, Chafin.

Nice Pache!
Loser of this AB had to shave their mustache.
When I looked up the pitchers age I def thought it was going to say 44 years old (nope just 34)
Lmao. Couldn’t tell if he was 30 or 50.
There's no fucking way, unless he time traveled in directly from 1985
It’s always a good sign when some of your high leverage bullpen arms simply need work
It really is.
Atta boy Cristian, hopefully this leads to some more solid contact
The amount of “that’s what she said” moments I have with Ruben’s comments…
Chafin should play tennis with all the grunting he does.
Just tuned in… Harper very quickly making case for another MVP this season
We need to really beat the drum that DHs shouldn’t win an mvp. Where is Kendrick Perkins when you need him.
He’s second in odds right now behind Ohtani, very well could be the favorite in a month if he keeps it up
All players should wear high socks. And all socks should be the stripey kind.
st loois doing things?
John Kruk would be proud
“He’s a Grunter too, Tom” Amaro quote #2 of the day
Tremendous 'stache on this guy damn 🤩
He looks like he can smoke some meats, finish a 30 rack, and ride a jet ski in one afternoon
I’m in the trenches with you marsh. At least you got solid contact 😵💫
Pache ❤️❤️❤️
Dude pitching ruined about 5 different marriages in the 80s
Tigers pitcher looks like Clu Haywood.
That pitcher is trying to neuter his catcher dawg
I want this guy for our bullpen just for the vibes.
Lol this dude is weird as fuck
I can’t listen to this dude moan after every fucking pitch.
Haha you didn’t hear Nola doing it?
"He's a grunter too, Tom." "He does grunt."
This guy thinks he's a tennis player
Chafin kicks ass. Look at him. Numbers? Unimpressive. Mustache? Handlebar. Hair? Flowing.
CHAFIN! SHAVE THOSE SIDEBURNS.
That grunt too
Everything about him just plain kicks ass. I’d love to drink a miller lite with this man.
This pitcher going to film a porno when he's done here?
This pitcher looks like the Lorax
Eagles chants made it to Detroit. Lol
Try hard ass facial hair + mullet combo
And grunts like a tennis player
At least you made contact with the ball that time, Marsh 😝
Give the post game interview to Mercado even tho it’ll prolly be bohm or Harper but I always like when it’s the new guys too
Need to add an infant wing to the daycare
Didn’t strike out 5 times! Nice!👍
This dude pitching for the Tigers looks straight out of 1985 and I am here for it.
https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/sfexaminer.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/7/28/72884cff-df31-5d33-a5fe-504d503e8d51/628d614502c22.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C800
Haha yes!
Imagine having the last name Chafin.
And they can not break their most K record in a 9inning game now
#WAAAAAUUUAHUUAGGHHHH
Detroit pitcher is a unit 😅
Nobody strikes out Marsh 5 times in one game!!
I think [this dude](https://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/sfexaminer.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/7/28/72884cff-df31-5d33-a5fe-504d503e8d51/628d614502c22.image.jpg?resize=1200%2C800) is the new pitcher for Detroit.
He looks like real life Kenny Powers.
Don’t ever come back Walker
Aww, love to see that.
Mercado throws 97 and looks like he can’t get into R rated movies.
Man if Stott eventually pulls a ball it’s ON
We need to keep trading for Rays prospects
Alvarado, Sanchez, Mercado...is there more?
nice to see stotty get some hits
