But he didn’t experience the pressure on top of what comes with the noise. Not to mention half the stadium was pulling for you. Tonight the entire stadium hates your guts and they’re already pissed off at the amount of traffic there is going to be.

Kelly did start the World Baseball Classic final and couldn’t even get out of the second inning. So if Venezuela was the loudest game he’s heard and he couldn’t even handle the pressure of the WBC final, that tells me this guy is going to absolutely get shelled tonight.

Brandon Marsh might get his wish of the decibel level reaching 150 tonight:

We’re looking for anything to tack on our bulletin board and so are the players. There’s a reason the Phillies are 27-11 at home in the playoffs. Ask Deebo Samuel how that played out:
