I was curious about Edmundo Sosa’s homer celebration (since he’s been able to do it a lot lately).
He said he shows the rock star signs as he touches the plate to pump up the fans.
"They've been showing more love to me, and I just try to show it back to them."

I went to the control room for a peek behind the scenes at how the PhanaVision team pulled together Jhoan Duran’s entrance in two days, and how they plan to continue to enhance it:

Inside the Phillies’ scramble to produce Jhoan Duran’s walk-out show, and what could be next
Jhoan Duran’s entrance to a game in Minnesota was epic. Of course the Phillies were going to do the same once they acquired him. But they had to act quickly.

When Dick Allen was called up to the Phillies from triple-A Arkansas, he vowed to never go back to Little Rock.
But this April, his son decided to return to the place Allen would not.

Playing in Arkansas scarred Dick Allen. Decades later, his son returned to honor his long journey to the Hall of Fame.
The 1963 season in Little Rock was brutal for Allen, and he never wanted to return. Five years after his father's death, Richard Allen Jr. did just that: “I was proud to be who I am."

Otto Kemp is going to see some time in LF against left-handed pitchers, according to Rob Thomson. David Peterson is scheduled to start for the Mets tomorrow.
On the work Kemp has been doing to prepare for the OF with Paco Figueroa:

Rob Thomson plans to put Otto Kemp in the outfield, and it could be as soon as Sunday
If Kemp, who mainly plays infield, can prove to be serviceable at left field, it’ll make him more versatile for when Bryce Harper returns and takes over first.
