Christopher Sanchez gets his 15th win of the season for the #Phillies! First to hit 15 W’s this fast since Steve Carlton!

Another series win!

When Lewis Kalb took the mic last night, he'd had little play-by-play experience; 10 high school baseball games, if that.

But he'd worked as a PA announcer in youth sports for decades, raised on the voices of Scully, Harwell, and Saam.

It showed: https://t.co/pVqgzDvccN

Luis Arraez leaped over the tag at home plate …

But decided to just go back to the dugout 🤣

[PrepareTheFloats™ @FloatsDispatch]

Justin Crawford is going to be a special player.

You can’t teach the clutch gene & if you don’t realize this you don’t know ball like Bo knew ball!

According to ESPN, with runners in scoring position min 70AB, Crawford trails only Luis Arraez & Bryson Stott among #Phillies hitters:

Arraez — .394 AVG | .395 OBP | .465 SLG | .860 OPS

Stott — .337 | .424 | .639 | 1.063

Crawford — .306 | .373 | .403 | .776

Bohm — .303 | .362 | .485 | .847

And Crawford is doing it as a rookie! GET OFF HIS BACK!

What a moment!!!!!!!! PREPARE THE FLOATS™️!!!!!!!!

Justin Crawford is going to be a special player. Anyone who doesn’t already see it is blind as a bat and doesn’t know ball like Bo knew ball.

For a rookie, you can’t ask for much more.

Crawford is now hitting .300 since June 1 - best on the club.

First Phillies homer ✅
First Phillies bat flip ✅

Luis Arraez has arrived!

[97.5 The Fanatic @975TheFanatic]

Jayson Stark explained to us how the Luis Arraez trade was unprecedented

"Luis Arraez is leading the National League in Batting Average. Do you know how many teams have ever traded for a player who was leading the league in hitting at the time of the trade? There is only 1. The Phillies with this guy, Luis Arraez. And you saw last night what makes him different from every other hitter on their team"

How is Derek Hill’s toothpick still in his mouth after that incredible effort?

In honor of Derek Hill, when the #Phillies win the World Series, Derek will have a personalized Prepare the Floats toothpick Float down Broad St!!!

What an incredible effort by Hill & glad he looks ok!

[PrepareTheFloats™ @FloatsDispatch]

I can’t be the only one wondering if Derek Hill is the only player in the history of #MLB to play with a toothpick hanging out of his mouth.

Nelson Alvarado…maximum control.

@DynastyDawk His hitting was awful- at one point his hitting coach told him they were (paraphrasing) “gonna send his ass back to AAA” to which he didn’t give a Sh%* “go ahead.” And then he turned into an animal THAT - Michael Jack Schmidt!

He was not good in the field…

Trivia time! 👀

Can you name this player’s rookie season?

• .196 AVG
• .324 OBP
• .373 SLG
• .697 OPS
• 17 errors at his primary position, 18 in total

Justin Crawford (2026):
• .264 AVG
• .310 OBP
• .345 SLG
• .655 OPS
. 1 error (but definitely needs to improve in CF)

Hint: They’re completely different types of players.

@PhillyTheKid22 I would’ve moved anyone for the right package!

Bryce Harper (RF) and Bryson Stott (3B) will become just the 7th pair of teammates in the post-WWII era (1946-on) to start the same game at positions neither had played in at least 4 years. The first since 1997.

The last Phillies pair? Bill Kelly (1B) and Al Nixon (LF) in 1928.

[PrepareTheFloats™ @FloatsDispatch]

The problem is the only 2 players I would consider moving into the #5 spot, Crawford ( .300 since 6/1) & Stott (.292 since 6/1) , are both lefties and then you’re stacking a lot of lefties together (Harper, Arraez, Crawford / Stott)

Realmuto is hitting .270 since 7/1 but he’s even slower…
