Personally I think it’s clear the media has too much of an impact on the team. 3 or 4 times in the past few years there’s been a strong media blitz on “the eagles run/pass too much and are wasting their (other) stars” and every time we’ve seen the pendulum immediately swing the other way heavily

Phillies minor leaguer lost an eye this way a while back, resistance bands are lowkey dangerous

I truly, genuinely believe everything Trump knows about Argentina is from Evita

Hello Mr murakami do you like agonizing emotional pain? There is a team in Philadelphia that will provide it ceaselessly

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 4d

Okay man

Jalen turning into a pumpkin here. Need the bye week badly

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 4d

Btw that’s a late hit that everyone else gets

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 4d

I mean April I have no idea why I said fall. It’s fall now.

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 4d

Would like to see the Phillies line up in the fall without Schwarber, Castellanos, Marsh, and Topper. Maybe Bohm, Stott depending on what you can get. Aidan Miller asap. Andrew Painter asap.

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 4d

I’ve seen this before

I'm sure the kid feels bad enough, and maybe I'd be more angry at him if losing today didn't feel like an inevitably after so many bad ABs.

More than anything, goodbye Rob Thompson. Horrific management. Walking ohtani would be like if the dodgers intentionally walked Bryce. Incredibly stupid and likely cost them the entire season. Goodbye.

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 4d

Are we done with the Kyle Schwarber blank check bullshit now? Bye Kyle.

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 4d

That is a really rough way to go out.

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 4d

Unbelievable that Bader swung at that pitch. It was a foot off the plate with the season on the line and a full count. Unreal

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 4d

Would love a Sanchez shutdown to set the tone here

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 4d

I mean at a certain point you just have to laugh. “We’re gonna have our own prom!!!”

Turning Point USA announced it will host counterprogramming to the Super Bowl halftime show, called “The All American Halftime Show,” as MAGA critics have been enraged over the selection of Bad Bunny as the 2026 headliner.

MAGA rage over Bad Bunny at Super Bowl sparks an alternative show

Counterprogramming hosted by the group that Charlie Kirk founded spotlights the growing political polarization surrounding one of the biggest events of the year.

Like 23 things wrong with this

Trump: "You're talking about the Pennsylvania Dutch, or you were talking about the Amish, where they don't take any of this stuff and they have virtually no autism."

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 5d

Annoying it took forever to end, but ohtani flying out first pitch is a nice anti-momentum moment there

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 5d

It’s 12:01 (as Alec bohm is aware of) a pitching change is unforgivable

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 5d

Tai brother not like this

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 5d

Sasaki and Duran are both shutdown guys and legit closers. Cant ask to win the game in 2 innings. Really, really gotta hit Glasnow.

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 5d

Just have to hit Glasnow. They have been bad against starting pitching but this needs to be the catalyst.

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 5d

Unfortunately the Phillies scored too many and now Dave Roberts won’t use kershaw again. Would be great

Ben @bpdunst.bsky.social · 5d

We may be so back. Not sure yet.
