Phillies make MLB history in Washington
We said it Wednesday: Don’t turn off the TV.
Did you turn off the TV on Wednesday night? Thursday night? If so, you missed the Phillies becoming the first team in Major League Baseball history to hit a go-ahead home run in the ninth inning in three consecutive games. Bryson Stott did it Tuesday. Derek Hill did it Wednesday. Bryce Harper did it Thursday.
We talk about what a series like this means moving forward.
Also, is Brandon Marsh an All-Star yet? And a look ahead at a weekend series against the Mets.

Speaker 1: Hey, this is Bryce Harper and welcome to the Billy Show.
Speaker 1: Rubin Tomorrow, Junior, Jim Salisbury, Todd's a lucky It's Friday,
Speaker 1: June twenty sixth, twenty twenty six. Did you turn off
Speaker 1: your TV late on Tuesday night? Did you turn off
Speaker 1: your TV late on Wednesday night? Did you turn off
Speaker 1: your TV late on Thursday night? If you did, you
Speaker 1: missed an historic week for the Philadelphia Phillies. Ruben Tomorrow,
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, you know what, Let's start right there
Speaker 1: because this is a segue. It's time for our Monster moment.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Monster Moment is powered by Monster Energy and Ruben,
Speaker 1: what a week for the Phillies. Did you know, my friend,
Speaker 1: that the Phillies became the first team in Major League
Speaker 1: Baseball history to hit a go ahead home run in
Speaker 1: the ninth inning in three consecutive games.
Speaker 2: That is incredible.
Speaker 3: I mean literally almost down to their last swing in
Speaker 3: each one of those last strike.
Speaker 2: Yes, amazing resilience. This is a team that's shown some
Speaker 2: resilience over the years.
Speaker 3: I mean they'll have a terrible game and then they'll
Speaker 3: bounce back and win two in a row. So they
Speaker 3: bounced back in this not same fashion. But it's one
Speaker 3: of those teams that I mean, these guys have done
Speaker 3: it before. They don't panic. They played a horrible game
Speaker 3: this last game on Thursday, really, I mean the early
Speaker 3: part of the game, poor Christopher Sanchez was out there naked.
Speaker 3: I mean, they couldn't make a play for him. Cut
Speaker 3: by you know, death by a thousand cuts on these
Speaker 3: ground balls that they couldn't make plays on. Looks like,
Speaker 3: you know, some of the range in that infield was shoddy.
Speaker 2: You know, all three of.
Speaker 3: The guys in the infield, and usually you know, you
Speaker 3: get very consistent play out of Stot couldn't get to
Speaker 3: a couple of balls, jumped over a couple of balls. Obviously,
Speaker 3: Trade Turner really struggling defensively, but they bounced back, get
Speaker 3: the home run by Marsha, get him close, and then
Speaker 3: lo and behold the ninth inning rolls around and those
Speaker 3: poor Nationals can't close anything.
Speaker 2: Walks quality at bats.
Speaker 3: I think that they probably went into this series saying
Speaker 3: to themselves, just get into the bullpen, boys, we have
Speaker 3: a shot. That's exactly what happened. And I mean they
Speaker 3: were getting contributions from everybody, which is a really cool thing. Not.
Speaker 3: You know, you're getting Derek Hill hitting home run, who's
Speaker 3: never really been a good offensive great offensive player, more
Speaker 3: of a defensive guy. You know, picks up a huge
Speaker 3: home run to win a game, and then later on
Speaker 3: hits another homer.
Speaker 2: You're getting Stot hitting homer.
Speaker 3: She got Brandon marsh who's all world right now playing great,
Speaker 3: and then the Showman comes up huge in the last
Speaker 3: game after getting hammered by the fans there. But you
Speaker 3: know he he rises to the occasion.
Speaker 2: That's why they call him the showman.
Speaker 1: That's why he is the Showman. So yeah, take this.
Speaker 1: So this is the tweet that Sarah Lang said out
Speaker 1: last and I actually shot her a note. I said,
Speaker 1: has this ever happened before? And of course Sarah Lang says, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm on it already, believe me. So she was on
Speaker 1: it again. I want to repeat this. The Phillies are
Speaker 1: the first team in Major League Baseball history to hit
Speaker 1: a go ahead home run in the ninth inning of
Speaker 1: three consecutive games. And this is the chart that she
Speaker 1: put out. This is the win probability chart Ruben that
Speaker 1: shows you how this is from uh Tuesday night's game.
Speaker 2: Okays charts by the way Todd. I love these charts.
Speaker 2: They are they're sort of worthless, but it's funny.
Speaker 1: But it is funny just to see like win probably
Speaker 1: the chances that the Phillies were gonna come back and
Speaker 1: win that game. Tuesday, Aryan Kirkring, who again, we talked
Speaker 1: about this, Ruben on Wednesday morning. We there we go wrong?
Speaker 2: Button, Yeah, has been.
Speaker 1: Pitching great, has been pitching great. Gives up a bomb
Speaker 1: in the bottom of the eighth inning the Phillies. The
Speaker 1: Nationals take the lead, but then the Phillies score eight
Speaker 1: two out runs in the ninth inning. They tie that
Speaker 1: game on Brandon Marsh's two run home run, they take
Speaker 1: the lead on Bryce's Bryson Stotts home run. They win
Speaker 1: fourteen to nine. Here's what that chart. Here's what that
Speaker 1: chart looked like, Ruben on Wednesday when Derek Hill steps
Speaker 1: up as a pin shitter and they win five to four.
Speaker 1: And then Thursday, of course, as you said, they got
Speaker 1: a they're down for nothing in the first inning with
Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez. The Nationals take a five to nothing lead
Speaker 1: into the sixth inning. Then Marsh HiT's that two run Ruben,
Speaker 1: what were you thinking when Marsh hit that two run
Speaker 1: home run in the sixth inning, I'm going, I think
Speaker 1: they might win this game.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean and obviously jumpstarted.
Speaker 3: And then you see the sort of the light at
Speaker 3: the end of the tunnel when Marsh who has been
Speaker 3: just extraordinary for the Phillies and in my opinion, probably
Speaker 3: the MVP of the team right now as far as
Speaker 3: his full effort. I mean, Schoreber, maybe Wheeler, maybe Sanchez,
Speaker 3: but I gotta think Marsh right now.
Speaker 2: Is the MVP of the team.
Speaker 3: And just because of the quality of the bats and
Speaker 3: the consistency, hits.
Speaker 2: The home run.
Speaker 3: And then we talked about Kirkering, you know, maybe siding
Speaker 3: into that eighth inning role. He sort of blows up
Speaker 3: the you know, the prior time the well, he gives
Speaker 3: up a double to open up yesterday's what seventh or eighth,
Speaker 3: and he shuts them down and they don't score. Huge
Speaker 3: growth moment for him. Can he pitch in the eighth?
Speaker 3: Can he get past that? He was awesome in his
Speaker 3: role in the sixth and seventh, But when you start
Speaker 3: sliding into the eighth, it gets a little tighter, the
Speaker 3: ball gets a little heavier, right, the opportunities to score
Speaker 3: and the bats from other teams get better. Now, this
Speaker 3: is a good National hitting team, one of the best
Speaker 3: offensive teams in baseball. But the fact that he shut
Speaker 3: them down that was huge too. And you're right about that.
Speaker 3: To run home run by marsh it Gota gave him
Speaker 3: the light at the end of the tunnel.
Speaker 2: And then and then the gates opened up again in.
Speaker 1: The ninth and then he could sense the Nationals just
Speaker 1: from watching it on TV they were getting little, a
Speaker 1: little tight lit.
Speaker 3: So here's the thing, and that is something that snowballs.
Speaker 3: We've seen it happen. I mean I saw it happen
Speaker 3: for years when I was playing for the Phillies when
Speaker 3: we had really lean years that you knew you just
Speaker 3: couldn't stop the flow. And this is why you know,
Speaker 3: it's so important to win games you're supposed to win.
Speaker 3: When you lose games late, it is demoralizing to a team.
Speaker 3: And that's why, in my opinion, you have to bridge
Speaker 3: that gap between the starters in Deran because when you
Speaker 3: start losing games like that, the sales fall. It's like
Speaker 3: being out there on a sailboat, baby, and all of
Speaker 3: a sudden there's no wind and nowhere to go.
Speaker 1: Yep, you know, Rubin, that reminds me of I remember
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. Of course, you guys had Jose
Speaker 1: Mason was the closer. He struggled. It was a huge issue.
Speaker 1: He kept blowing saves in that off season. What do
Speaker 1: you guys do you got Billy Wagner right? And I
Speaker 1: remember talking to Dallas Green that following spring, so spring
Speaker 1: of two thousand and four, of the first year that
Speaker 1: Billy Wagner is in camp. I was standing next to
Speaker 1: him over by Carpenter Complex, and I'm like, what do
Speaker 1: you think about the team, And he was just like,
Speaker 1: you don't understand how important it is to get a
Speaker 1: Billy Wagner in this on this club, because there is
Speaker 1: nothing worse, to your point, Rubin, there is nothing worse
Speaker 1: than having a lead consistently going into the ninth inning
Speaker 1: and blowing it. It is soul sucking, depressing. It is
Speaker 1: just the word. Dallas was so excited about Billy Wagner,
Speaker 1: and so conversely, like, what are the Nationals thinking right now?
Speaker 1: After doing that three straight days.
Speaker 2: And it happened in the playoffs. Think about it. Hoffman struggled.
Speaker 2: One of the reasons why he didn't.
Speaker 3: You know, you know, all those guys, yeah, kimberl all
Speaker 3: those when you when you don't have the ability to
Speaker 3: stop the game and get those three outs that are necessary,
Speaker 3: whether it's in the seventh, eighth, or ninth, if you
Speaker 3: can't get those outs in this day and age, you.
Speaker 2: Sort of have to no pitchers.
Speaker 3: Very few pitchers are getting into the eighth right, and
Speaker 3: particularly for a team that's a playoff quality team. And
Speaker 3: you're thinking, when the World Series man, that bullpen becomes
Speaker 3: so essential.
Speaker 1: But what does it do for What do you think
Speaker 1: it does for the offense too? Just this Phillies group
Speaker 1: prost I mean they drawn this, right, They drawn this
Speaker 1: to the res for the rest of the year, right, No,
Speaker 1: do think they.
Speaker 3: So they think that they know and they feel that
Speaker 3: they can win that snowballs the other way right, Positively,
Speaker 3: they feel like, Okay, we're down, but guess what, we
Speaker 3: got some big boys who can put together some at bats.
Speaker 3: And it's not just the home runs, Todd, It's more
Speaker 3: to me the quality of the at bats. I mean,
Speaker 3: Or had an unbelievable walk prior when he came in
Speaker 3: with his bad back. It started this whole thing, right,
Speaker 3: then a home run afterwards. It's just a quality of
Speaker 3: ending that baton off to the big boys at some
Speaker 3: point or the little boys who are coming through, and
Speaker 3: uh and and so that confidence starts to breed, starts
Speaker 3: to become a living, you know, entity, and.
Speaker 2: It's a cool thing to watch.
Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see whether these that series is
Speaker 3: sort of like the series that pushes them to win
Speaker 3: this NL East, because that's a possibility.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Braves have been They've they've made some gains
Speaker 1: on the Braves. Right that right there, folks, that's the

Speaker 2: We all need love, we do.
Speaker 1: We need love. We absolutely need love. You know who
Speaker 1: needs a little love, Rubin and you mentioned them earlier,
Speaker 1: and this is amazing. Sometimes it's amazing how much we're
Speaker 1: on the same wave length. You know who needs some
Speaker 1: love right now? Brandon Marsh. Brandon Marsh is a finalist
Speaker 1: to start for the National League in the All Star Game.
Speaker 1: We did our Bowls predictions. We'u been earlier in the year,
Speaker 1: none of us, none of us could saw this coming,
Speaker 1: but it's coming. He Brandon Marsh was second overall amongst
Speaker 1: all NL outfielders in votes, so now he has made
Speaker 1: the final vote, so all the votes to reset. He's
Speaker 1: one of six outfielders, So Phillies fans keep voting how
Speaker 1: they're voting. He's going to be starting for the National
Speaker 1: League in the All Star Game at Citizens Bank Park
Speaker 1: next month.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt, and he deserves to be starting.
Speaker 3: There's no question in my mind. I mean, I obviously
Speaker 3: we're biased because we get to watch him every day.
Speaker 2: But from May first, we've talked about it a million times.
Speaker 3: May first and twenty twenty five to now maybe the
Speaker 3: best hitter in baseball as far as just overall getting
Speaker 3: hits and production really really good. I just feel like
Speaker 3: I'm happy for this guy in a number for a
Speaker 3: number of ways.
Speaker 2: One, he's a great teammate.
Speaker 3: He's got really positive energy, stays positive all the time,
Speaker 3: really really good teammate. He's had to bounce around a
Speaker 3: different position, center left d I think he's better at
Speaker 3: left field than in any other position. He's really a
Speaker 3: left fielder. But the fact that he's doing what he's
Speaker 3: doing offensively, it took some time. It took some time
Speaker 3: for him to gain his confidence. He goes down after
Speaker 3: having zero hits in April twenty twenty five and bounces back,
Speaker 3: gets his mojo, reminds himself and maybe with the help
Speaker 3: of another teammate, Garrett Stubbs, that this guy can still play.
Speaker 3: That he's a pretty good player, and he's got a
Speaker 3: lot of talent, and he is showing the world what
Speaker 3: kind of talent he is right now, and I hope
Speaker 3: it continues. Because they needed him to do that. They
Speaker 3: didn't have Stott and Boem stepping forward to lengthen the lineup.
Speaker 3: JT was struggling and was hurt. They're, you know, right now,
Speaker 3: Turner's not doing anything offensively, although he start to pick
Speaker 3: it up a little bit in this National Series. But
Speaker 3: but they needed it out of this guy and they've
Speaker 3: gotten it.
Speaker 2: And one of the really big reasons they are where
Speaker 2: they are.
Speaker 1: Take a look at this. This is where Brandon Marsha
Speaker 1: ranks and ops among all qualified and.
Speaker 2: Off it he's six.
Speaker 1: But look at that batting average batting three twenty four,
Speaker 1: twelve home runs, forty one RBIs such a fantasy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody cares about batting average anymore.
Speaker 3: But this guy's like barreling the baseball up with a
Speaker 3: nice smooth attack pretty much every single day. And he's
Speaker 3: doing it against lefties and righties. It took him a
Speaker 3: while to get the opportunity to do that, not because
Speaker 3: the manager didn't want to have him get better, but
Speaker 3: he because he struggled against lefties and right it finally,
Speaker 3: you know, sometimes it takes some time to graduate to
Speaker 3: get to that point, to get the confidence to be
Speaker 3: able to do that, which he was starting to do
Speaker 3: with Topper. Then when Topper was let go, obviously he
Speaker 3: was given that opportunity later on with Don manningly and
Speaker 3: he ran with it.
Speaker 2: God bless him.
Speaker 1: I like batting averagerup and I still think it's pretty.
Speaker 2: Cool, thank you. I think it still means something to
Speaker 2: get hits.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, get on base movie, Yeah absolutely.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: And and I think with Marsh's right now, he's in
Speaker 1: that groove where every time he comes up, you feel
Speaker 1: like he's going to do something big. And that happened
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night when he hit that game tying home
Speaker 1: run the ninetheen. In fact, I think even Tom McCarthy said,
Speaker 1: you know, just it would be great to get somebody
Speaker 1: on for Brandon Marsh right here, and boom they did
Speaker 1: game tying home run. You know, but he did hit
Speaker 1: the home run he hit yesterday Thursday night. Just seems
Speaker 1: to be a stud.
Speaker 2: So it's fun.
Speaker 1: So Brandon Marsh is a finalist for the NL All
Speaker 1: Star ballot and this is this is going to be
Speaker 1: interesting in a fact happens he did you see who
Speaker 1: the other two finalists are? Oh I saw them, Bryce
Speaker 1: and Stott and Alec Bohm our finalists. If Phillies fans
Speaker 1: stuffed that ballot box, they could be starting in the
Speaker 1: All Star Game.
Speaker 2: If you imagine Alec Bohm. Everybody wanted to get rid
Speaker 2: of this fricking guy. In the beginning of the season.
Speaker 3: He had a really tough go personally and on the
Speaker 3: field right still played well.
Speaker 2: Defensive was playing pretty well defensively. You know, he's limited
Speaker 2: with his ranging stuff, but he's doing fine defensively.
Speaker 3: And I think he got past some of the personal stuff,
Speaker 3: I think, and I think he also got past, you know,
Speaker 3: starting to have more quality at bats. It was a
Speaker 3: slow process. It took from a long time. We talked
Speaker 3: about how important he was. He was a four role
Speaker 3: hitter at one point, like the guy that was supposed
Speaker 3: to protect Bryce. I wasn't doing that and obviously really struggling.
Speaker 3: But we've talked about this. The back of the baseball
Speaker 3: card matters, and so he's starting to do some things.
Speaker 3: Do I think he's one of the best third basemen
Speaker 3: in the league.
Speaker 2: Maybe, But.
Speaker 3: That's what shows you what kind of third basement are
Speaker 3: out there in the National League, because most of those
Speaker 3: guys are in the American League, and there's some pretty
Speaker 3: good quality in the American League.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have, like a lot of the National League
Speaker 1: third basement are not having great years. Alex Bligman. You know,
Speaker 1: guys like that. Boba Shed obviously has struggled as well,
Speaker 1: So you know, then of course you wonder what's gonna
Speaker 1: happen with Harper, Schwarber, Sanchez, Deranos are all strong candidates
Speaker 1: to make the team as reserves. So Philly has have
Speaker 1: a big series coming up. They're all big rubin, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. But it's a big series against
Speaker 1: the Mets this weekend. But you can also enter keep
Speaker 1: yourself entertained in other ways over at.

Speaker 1: We're back, Rubin.
Speaker 2: You mentioned.
Speaker 1: We mentioned the Phillies playing the Mets this weekend. Met's
Speaker 1: just fired their manager, Carlos Gone Gone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mendoza.
Speaker 3: I like Carlos Mendoz a lot, Todd and I mean, listen,
Speaker 3: this guy was put behind the eight ball.
Speaker 2: They fired everybody.
Speaker 3: They fired the pitching coach who actually did a pretty
Speaker 3: good job for them.
Speaker 2: They pop.
Speaker 3: They let go pretty much every single person on their
Speaker 3: staff to try to recreate something. Semion comes in, Nemos out.
Speaker 1: You know, they had Jeff McNeil, they get the squirrel's gone.
Speaker 3: You know, they wanted to change the culture. Alonso they
Speaker 3: let go. They didn't sign him, you know, bing Polanco
Speaker 3: in to be the guy. I mean, Polanco's down. They
Speaker 3: got injuries, they got all types of stuff. They bring
Speaker 3: Bishette because they wanted to keep a Bashette away from
Speaker 3: the Phillies. That's the only reason why they brought Bashette on.
Speaker 3: And if somebody wants to take a lie of their
Speaker 3: test detector tests in New York, one of the front
Speaker 3: office people or maybe Coen, that's the reason why they
Speaker 3: signed that guy.
Speaker 2: Otherwise they wouldn't have and none of those guys have
Speaker 2: worked out.
Speaker 3: It seems I've heard something that Bishette, Lindoor and Soto
Speaker 3: have only played nine games together this season, so that
Speaker 3: makes it very difficult.
Speaker 2: But then Mendoza takes the heat.
Speaker 3: I think it's Sterns who should be taken some heat
Speaker 3: because he made all these changes in personnel and staff
Speaker 3: and what did he get for it. I know that
Speaker 3: they had a lot of injuries, but man, you talk
Speaker 3: about a weak culture right now. Andy Green's gonna come in.
Speaker 3: He's been there before. He's got a little general in him.
Speaker 3: He was there in San Diego as a manager, so
Speaker 3: he's done it before.
Speaker 2: He was in their player development.
Speaker 3: But well, the Mets are a bit of a dumpster
Speaker 3: fire right now and they're going to have to make
Speaker 3: some moves.
Speaker 2: They already traded David Peterson yep to the Cubs.
Speaker 3: The Cubs really need decimated also, so you know they're
Speaker 3: going to start picking some people off.
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see who gets gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you see the highlight the other day? Cubs
Speaker 1: hit like a go ahead home run and they flashed
Speaker 1: to the whole all the Norwegians soccer fans in the
Speaker 1: stands celebrating. It was like the ultimate Mets moment. If
Speaker 1: you haven't seen it, go on social media check it out.
Speaker 1: I think it was the Cubs had to go ahead
Speaker 1: home run, a big home run, and the camera cut
Speaker 1: to all these Norwegian fans like dancing in the stands,
Speaker 1: they're all geared up for soccer. It was, honestly, it
Speaker 1: just kind of encapsulated everything that's kind of going on
Speaker 1: with the Mets. Just kind of the Mets lol. As
Speaker 1: people like to say on the internet. Wow, you know,
Speaker 1: is it has not been good. So Zach Wheeler seven
Speaker 1: to ten Friday night starts for the Phillies four to
Speaker 1: ten pm Eastern on Saturday, Alan Ron Hell pm Eastern
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Jesus Lizardo. So Phillies can keep try to
Speaker 1: keep the momentum going. They certainly should feel good about themselves,
Speaker 1: Ruben after the three.
Speaker 3: Year and they certainly should, but the Mets always give
Speaker 3: them problems, you know, if they're playing in the Mets,
Speaker 3: playing in New York. Wheeler throws well against him what
Speaker 3: he's got five and two thirds at what seven punchouts
Speaker 3: this last time? Not super sharp, sharp enough, But I
Speaker 3: think that they probably want a little bit better effort
Speaker 3: from him today because they got Alan wrong Hell and
Speaker 3: probably a lot.
Speaker 2: Of bullpen pieces.
Speaker 3: So maybe they can keep the bullpen from getting too
Speaker 3: damaged because bullpen has had to work pretty hard over
Speaker 3: the last few days.
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. All, right, guys, Thanks for tuning in.
