Kind of freaked out for a second that the game wasn't on (though obviously it would have been on a different Fox channel or local TV if Dodgers was really the national game).
The Phillies needed their other big bats to step up when Harper and Schwarber went on the IL. Here’s what they’ve done over that span:Nick Castellanos- .414/.433/.586, 1 HRTrea Turner- .387/.387/.806, 4 HRAlec Bohm- .296/.333/.556, 2 HR— Joe Edinger ( @Joe_Edinger ) July 6, 2024

I dont think our catchers are getting enough credit. Over the last 7 days our catchers BOTH have an OPS over 1.000. And over 14 days Stubbs is at .838 and Marchan at .901.

Trea Turner flies out sharply to center fielder Jarred Kelenic.
Yea, they picked a very good time to get hot.
It would be nice if Stubbs can at least not be an automatic out. Clearly the pitchers and coaches love the guy.
Nice problem to have.
You could make the case for carrying both of them, if not immediately than with the extra roster spot (both in September and the shorter playoff series). Marchan is a switch-hitter and Stubbs is a LHB who can actually play the field (Marchan probably can too).
But yeah nice problem to have and a promising path for next year.

Is anyone else watching the game on MLBTV? I’m not in the fox viewing area so watching on MLBTV app. Sounds is so ahead on the video. Have tried pulling it up on multiple devices too and same issue on each one.
Same issue for me so far.

You do gotta wonder. Is he hitting the wall? Was it the injury and the UK trip on top of that? An intense few weeks adjusting to family life after spending his entire pro career alone?
