This is how Tyler Phillips came out of the bullpen on Sunday. If the Marlins had more than 50 fans in attendance this entrance would’ve been electric:

This was his postgame interview:

MARLINS WIN!

Miami beat Toronto 5-3 on Sunday afternoon. Tyler Phillips collected his 2nd save of the season after throwing 32 pitches yesterday.

This dude better have a 99 Intensity in The Show. Even after the game he didn’t crack a smile:

Of course if you’re a Phillies fan you remember Phillips being an absolute psycho. That guy hates hitters more than you hate anything in your life. I remember during that complete game shutout he tossed he was motherfuckin’ every single batter on the Guardians he got out. It was awesome. Imagine watching an Eagles game with this guy. Pure intensity from the opening kickoff until the clock hits zero. Unfortunately it didn’t work out in Philly for a local guy, but glad to see a change of scenery and a move to the bullpen full time has done some good for him.

I can’t get over the smacks from the bullpen. Those were some vicious smacks. Reminds me of John Henderson from the Jaguars back in the day. COME ON JOE! YOU GOTTA MAKE BLOOD COME THROUGH THE MOUTH!

John Henderson's pre-game routine is why #ThrowbackThursday was invented. https://t.co/CNW8XmFul4 pic.twitter.com/0snJn9IzIL
