Incredible lol.

The Phils lit up Dallas Keuchel in the second inning, so this one turned into a laugher and we had a position player tossing up 50-mile-an hour meatballs. Err, well more like softball tosses I guess. They weren’t exactly down the middle of the plate, but they were very hittable.

Hilarious clip though. Very next pitch, boom, crushed to left field. We haven’t had a Phillies week like this since the World Series. The blog posts write themselves.

EDIT – couldn’t find this clip earlier, but here it is – Luplow hulking it up (totally joking and having fun) after hitting Sosa:

I LOVE THIS TEAM SO MUCH.
First Luplow hits Sosa and they pretend to start a brawl, then Luplow imitates Kimbrel, then Rojas smacks his first major league home run off him 😂#RingTheBell @TMacPhils @JohnKruk @TarynNBCS pic.twitter.com/9q3BpaM2wX
