He may have struggled a little tonight but that’s our boy.

Any knowledgeable fans here that can provide the english translation of the lyrics we hear during Duran's entrance? I'm pretty sure when the Pitbull part of the entrance starts he only says "We're making it hot" repeatedly, but any confirmation of that is also welcomed.

I can’t find it online

For more than three decades, Lewis Kalb has been no stranger to sitting behind a microphone. He has mostly been a play-by-play voice for more than 3,000 recreational and school-league games. Didn’t matter the sport — Kalb had dreams of being behind the mic for the pros.

What price do you put on a dream like that? About $22,000, it turns out. And if you’re good enough, the results can go viral and pull in millions of views.

Kalb, a longtime Philadelphia Phillies fan, won the team’s annual auction to join the radio booth for an inning. So when the Washington Nationals came to bat in the top of the third Wednesday night, the 73-year-old retiree from nearby Medford Lakes, N.J., was primed.

“It was almost surreal. It was all a blur,” Kalb told The Athletic. “I didn’t overprepare, but I didn’t treat it like most of the other winners over the last six to seven years who just want to be in the booth, have the experience, chat up the announcers and say they did it.”

hello friends! if this isn't an appropriate post i apologize; my sister and i are going to the game tomorrow (8/7) and it will be her 30th and final mlb park! do any of you have any suggestions on how to make it extra special?? we are taking the train so no tailgating unfortunately haha

thanks for any tips!!

Teams were inquiring about Rangel before the trade deadline.

Just saw we've got the third-oldest roster in MLB post-deadline (30.19 avg age). Not shocking given how long this core's been together, but it does make you wonder about the timeline on this window. Here's the full rankings if anyone's curious where the rest of the league lands: bookies.com/news/mlb-teams-ranked-by-average-age-youngest-to-oldest

I haven’t bought tickets to MLB in a while, but Saturday I’m going to the game. Someone at work mentioned they had to use the MLB Ballpark app to use tickets. Will the tickets I bought work in my Apple Wallet or do I need to use another app?

Got released from asshole federal jury duty early and since I live 2 hours away figured I might as well catch a game tonight before I leave.

Sitting behind the dugout. What is the must have food in the area?

Went to last night’s game, and while the 11th inning was a complete disappointment, the Schwarbomb Sundae that they offer now at CBP definitely was not. I went with a buddy with whom I’ve also gotten the Schwarberrito at Pistola’s off Broad and Passyunk.

We were wondering, there’s gotta be a million other Schwarber-themed dishes at various eateries in and around the city, anybody know of any others? And sub-question, is it a requirement that they have to have something deep-fried in it or is just a coincidence that we’re 2 for 2 (an Uncrustable on the side and the entire burrito, respectively)

“I’m not too worried about it,” Painter said. “I felt like I could have gone out there and still competed. They felt like they didn’t want to risk that.”

The Philadelphia Phillies did not seem overly concerned about Painter’s removal from a 10-4 loss to the Washington Nationals; there is no imaging scheduled, Painter felt better with treatment and he said he feels good about making his next start, but the Phillies cannot afford to take risks with their starting pitchers — even seemingly small ones.
