Luis Arraez is an absolute lunatic at the dish and it’s exactly what the Phillies have been missing
I already wrote about the Luis Arraez debut but his two hit night to lead the Phillies over the Nationals was really only half of the story. The other half is the fact that Arraez is a certified lunatic and let me tell you, I absolutely love it.
Luis Arraez stuns in debut, leads Phillies to 5-0 win over the Nationals >>
This man’s reactions to every single pitch and the way he plays every time he touches a base are a show all by themselves. Arraez is absolutely electric out there, quite possibly a complete psychopath, and I mean that with the utmost respect.
Luiz Arraez is WILD lol
That’s exactly what this Phillies lineup has been missing.
For most of this season, we’ve watched this offense stand up at the plate looking completely lifeless, showing little emotion or, worse, the kind of forced, manufactured energy that fools nobody.
It’s been flat and beyond dull to watch. We have been stuck with a lineup full of guys who look like they’d rather be anywhere else and then Luis Arraez shows up and treats every at-bat like it’s Game 7, reacting to every pitch, buzzing around the bases like a man possessed. It’s a total change of pace, and it’s contagious in the best possible way.
He also can do the complete opposite and just stand there like the PS5 controller died.
My personal favorite from Luis Arraez
So far so good
Everyone knows how critical I’ve been of Dave Dombrowski and what happened at the trade deadline. Nothing changed there, however that doesn’t come at the expense of Luis Arraez, who is going to be amazing for this baseball team.
Luis Arraez is the perfect Phillies player and it helps that he’s quite literally a modern-day Tony Gwynn at the dish, spraying line drives all over the yard while refusing to strike out. Take that and get it all wrapped up in the body of a genuine lunatic who plays with his hair on fire and next thing you know, you’re left with elite bat-to-ball skills plus completely unhinged energy which again, is precisely the jolt this team needed.
Philadelphia loves guys who play with an edge and a little bit of crazy, and Luis Arraez has already proven he can provide both in spades.
Look at this lunatic
Two hits and a standing ovation on night one, and a personality that’s already lighting a fire under a lineup that’s spent months looking half-asleep. If the energy is real, and everything about it says it is, this fanbase is going to fall completely in love with this guy.
