What a night in Philly sports. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Welcome on in. It is the final out here on sports radio 94 WIP is always the final out of sponsor by Regency furniture affordable never look so good Jack Fritz hanging out with you here on this Tuesday night reacting to a very, very impressive overall positive Philly's win tonight. I know it got a little dicey there.

0:29.0

Late in the game some bad fundamentals, but overall I leave tonight feeling like that was a normal solid good win. I'm not letting what happened in the seventh kind of over shadow high felt about the game.

0:44.0

I thought that was a good solid normal baseball team win because as normal as a baseball team and win whatever can go I thought that's the Philly's did tonight and it was a very, very positive positive outcome.

0:59.0

Let's get into it 25592 94 94 if you are leaving the ballpark and want to get in it was another packed house. I believe 56,000 hot dogs were sold or something like that and I've mentioned this a lot on the final out but it is it is just a treat to see the ballpark filled up the way that it is and the way that it has been.

1:24.0

And it was another really, really solid solid crowd tonight a damn near a sell out and it's just been phenomenal and my two big takeaways from tonight are this.

1:36.0

My first big takeaway is that I felt that was the most fundamentally sound offensive game of the year just good solid fundamental doing the little things right winning baseball.

1:50.0

And what gets me frustrated about this team sometimes is that I feel like I'm not watching what winning baseball is and what winning baseball is is not just trying to hit home runs all the time is not is not not moving runners along.

2:06.0

Like I said this for years is that I felt like regular see like all these super analytically driven teams they focus so much on the home run because over 162 hitting more home runs in the opponent will lead to more wins it's just simple math but when it comes down to actually winning baseball and winning big games you better be able to know how to do all the little things.

2:35.0

All the little things to get a job done seven walks tonight by the offense which is a great sign they had nine hits they scored eight runs like it was a very fundamentally sound offensive game but there's a lot of little nitty gritty things that happened that I thought were just fascinating and a sign of good positive growth for this team the first thing was the bottom of the fifth.

3:01.0

March walks there's two outs you know two quick outs after that trade turners up two outs bottom fifth and Mars gets put in motion and trade turner hits a ball into the gap which is a good sign like thankfully it wasn't a little slap hit or whatever trade turner hits a ball into the gap and Brandon Mars scores from first base that was a good old fashioned hit run and I know this sounds insane.

3:29.0

I almost shed a tear I almost shed a tear because they ran ahead and run it was like oh my god baseball that's crazy what a crazy concept and that's why that's my that's my Mike's amazing play the game presented by Mike's amazing official male mustard and vegetable all the fillings hit and run in 2023 they're playing baseball is that allowed wow so that was just beautiful I was so happy and listen being able to execute those things when the shift is now gone

3:58.9

and you have some speed on this team that needs to be taken advantage of like a brand of marsh hitting run maybe that gets trade turner going a little bit he goes he's on a nine game hitting trick which is good to see but still I thought that was great so that was the first thing I saw tonight from a fun only fundamentally sound baseball game bottom six

4:17.3

Nick Castiano's doubles Kyle Schwarber gets him over and JT gets him in bang it's a 4-2 ball game but they're not done at Munozosa adds another insurance run and makes it a 5-2 game so even when they get that run home they're not done yet and they're they're adding more runs rather than just being satisfied with the one that's a good sign of fun on the baseball it's okay if you don't if you're down account or whatever you just need to do a job do your job that's fine not everything

4:46.8

has to be going for the beginning and big home run sometimes just getting a ball in the air to right field getting a runner over the third base is good enough and then you bring them home and that is good solid fundamental baseball so two signs tonight that I thought were important and then the third one bottom

5:04.8

eighth it's a 5-4 game Guthrie walks real Mudo hits a single bone walks and rather than you know just kind of only getting one which it feels like they've done a large majority of the season in this spot

5:19.8

Brandon Marsh doubles to the wall makes it a 7-4 game start puts a bomb play makes it 8-4 just puts a bomb play knows he has to do one job there and make it a non-save situation

5:34.8

and make it an 8-4 ball game and blouses it's over that is good solid fundamental baseball by the Phillies tonight on the offensive side of the ball

5:45.8

I know that 7th inning happened I know the miscommunication between Serantini and boom I think that's kind of a tricky play because I felt like boom

5:52.8

had already turned his shoulders to make that throw the second knew he couldn't make the throw and Serantini looked down trying to find the bag

6:00.8

like it's it stinks you hate to see that happen the game got close Gregory Soto hitting a batter and a 3-2 count going slides that for some whatever reason rather

6:10.8

just like pumping 99 by him what you can do so that wasn't great but from the offensive side of the ball I felt it was the most fun and

6:20.8

the game of the year and then my second main takeaway from tonight is that Noah's velocity is probably the most encouraging thing from the night it was he was back up the 94 he had been pitching around 89 90
