Phillies RL!
Your solid man! Tony is crazy! Everyone was on that bad beat yesterday with the Mets including the Dodgers ( me!)
F the Mets …
I’m with you Tony! The herd is on the Sillies! Lord saves!
JESSE GONNA HIT AGAIN, LFG!
Cashing tickets, Jesse. Easily cashing my friend.
So the Phillies haven’t been swept and then lost game 1 of the next series in a long time. At least not in this Phillies era. They are a late inning scoring team but they’ve been anemic lately. If you hit this one you’re the goat, brother. Screw it. I’m tailing.
I'm not betting it but it will be interesting to see how it pans out against Luzardo
