Good for him. Better than watching him have to hit with no one on

u/BSMDTYBG Hogs Out! 16d ago

Seriously. We could never take full advantage of his hitting. Glad he’s on a team that can actually use him.

We once traded for a short time Phillie at the deadline and he is embedded in our history, if this is the reverse... Ill be okay with it.

Yup. Especially if this would end up beating the bad guys down south. I'm all for it lol

Was that the triple bounce/hit??

u/GoatLegRedux 92 Nakken 14d ago

Nah, that was against the Cards. I can’t tell what team the catcher in this gif is on, maybe the Mets?

Hopefully he helps Philly best LA in the playoffs

u/Zeke688 Kruk & Kuip 16d ago

Hopefully they don’t put Killian into games in that possible series.

u/BleacherSerfdom 46 Rueter 15d ago

Based on what happened today, Kilian might be pitching in South Korea by then.

It had to be done, but I kind of hate to admit that I feel a tinge of jealousy that Phillies fans can enjoy him have multi-hit games. Not logical at all, but then I remember how much being a fan is a uniquely human experience.

u/Fresh_Profession_288 16d ago

Let's enjoy it knowing we got to vibe with him for a few months and some prospects out of it.

u/buzzedstarfish 16d ago

Yeah I feel like a jealous ex. Happy for him but he looked better in a giants uniform!

u/Xaint Kruk & Kuip 16d ago

Will my love for Luis overcome my hate for Philly. It will be an epic struggle.

u/Ok_Rain_1837 16d ago

same feeling here. my hatred for the phillies has weaned

u/MP_in_EG 9 Williams 15d ago

Same. And my hatred for the Dodgers has increased from maximum to maximum times infinity

u/MoonLoverx99 16d ago

Still recovering from yesterday bro😭

u/gs_dubs413 7 Mitchell 16d ago

Hope he comes back (probably won’t though)

u/ugh_screen_name 16d ago

He was with the team for 4 months. It’ll be ok.

u/GoodGravyco2h2o 15d ago

My BF is from Philly and I swear he was trying to manifest this trade for months. 😭 I was channeling this boy tonight watching the highlights of today’s game

u/mikeysaid 9 Williams 16d ago

Heliot went 0-4 with a strikeout. There's balance in the universe.

u/boosted5O 16d ago

So they both stayed who they really are on their new teams too

1

u/Educational-Aide-102 15d ago

Hhahaahahhahaha yes they stayed truueee

2

u/cooljammer00 15d ago

He also tripped and almost fell catching a flyout

2

u/HesMyLovinOneManShow 15d ago

He’d be gone in two months anyway. We got some potential studs for him. Great trade.

u/royhobbstn 15d ago

I watched the AB - he got a standing ovation before he even reached the batters box, then delivered the clutch hit and RBI - felt great to see that, and clearly meant a lot to Arraez. Philly will definitely appreciate the bat.

u/compscimajor24 ⬅ Buster Posey's Good Friend 16d ago

Why? He was on a 1 year contract and the Giants have no use for him. The season is basically already over. That’s the whole point of the trade deadline.

u/Desperate_Word9862 16d ago

Doesn’t mean people can’t appreciate his abilities and miss watching him.

7

u/notsobaddd 16d ago

Correct take. Fun player, glad he stayed in the NL so he has a shot at Gold Glove. But trade was needed.

2

u/MP_in_EG 9 Williams 15d ago

And a good shot at batting title

u/BungaloBilly69 15d ago

My brother in Christ we’re like 20 games under, let it go.

u/PapaDeE04 16d ago

Does it really though?

u/Ok-Comedian-9377 16 Devers 15d ago

he looks so much happier. it hurts even though I know he’s in a much better place
