Longest game I covered was 18 innings. Think it took 7 1/2 hours with a rain delay or two mixed in.
A misjudged popup that should have been the final out has turned into 6 runs for the Red Sox. What a wacky series.
Some Big 5 news items today: 🏀Jhamir Brickus to play overseas. 🏀@PennMBB releases nonconference schedule. 🏀@TUMBBHoops set for American Conference opponents. 🏀@Big5Pod has Saint Joseph’s assistant Steve Donahue on next pod. #Big5Hoops
Through 2 games and 2 innings, the #RedSox have 32 strikeouts against #Phillies pitching. That’s 53.3% of outs by strikeout. Wow
First pitch Beautiful night for baseball #Phillies #RedSox #MLB

#Phillies pitchers vs. #RedSox in 2 games: 12 hits 28 strikeouts
The Phanatic’s final rose in The Bachelor scene had a surprise ending. Lol
It’s Y2K night at the ballpark, so Ike Reese, Marc Jackson, and John LeClair just changed bases in between innings. #PhillySports
Explanation for play in first inning when Bryce Harper scored:

Well, we have all the wacky catcher’s interference rulings covered in the last 2 games.
Four guards. Hmm. I know a little bit (or a lot, actually lol) about a college basketball team in Philadelphia that had a lot of success playing that way.
Small Ball is coming back to Villanova. Would expect Kevin Willard to regularly use four-guard sets. Wildcats will have seven guards in their rotation.
Destiny did a really good job with her questioning of Alex Cora and got some great responses. You could feel how much Cora appreciates and respects a player like Schwarber. Interesting comments. Check out the story.
More from Alex Cora on Schwarber. He also gave a really good quote on the opposing perspective of the Phillies' lineup. philliesnation.com/2025/07/philad…
