Phillies shortstop Trea Turner, on feedback made by Diamondbacks Game 2 starter Merrill Kelly that he couldn’t think about the group being louder than it was when each performed for Team USA in opposition to Venezuela within the World Baseball Classic:

“I feel domes (similar to Miami’s Marlins Park the place Turner’s game-winning grand slam despatched the United States to the semifinals) are slightly totally different. Sometimes they’re fairly loud simply due to the roof being closed.

“But as far as atmospheres, I think this one is just different. Our fans have been unbelievable. I don’t know what decibels are, but I guess we did something cool.  AC/DC concert level decibel the other night.”

Turner appeared to smirk just a bit. “I would just wait and see what he says after,” he added.

There are experiences that the noise degree CBP spiked at 111 decibels throughout Game 1 Monday night time. That’s thought-about harmful for publicity of greater than half-hour.

Lefthander Matt Strahm on his lengthy, stringy hair: “It really all began in ’17 after I blew my knee out. I acquired a haircut that day after which jokingly stated I wasn’t going to chop my hair once more. After spending three months on crutches and in a brace, it type of acquired via the awkward stage and I let it go.

“My younger brother has always told me I should grow it out. It was kind of like, all right, let’s see. Honestly, I don’t know when I’m going to cut it. When I FaceTime with my daughter, if I have my hair up in a bun, she’ll look in the camera like, ‘Who’s that?’ When I take it down, she knows who it is. So it’s going to be here for awhile, I think, until her and my wife tell me to cut it.”

Manager Rob Thomson on one of many issues that he believes makes Kevin Long a profitable hitting coach: “There’s a roomful of information that we get now. And I think the greatest coaches, what they do, is they take this roomful of information, they put it in a little thimble and they hand it to the player. Just keep it as simple as possible so they go to the plate they can put their body on autopilot and just hit.”

Turner on how Bryce Harper has modified since they had been Nationals teammates: “The voice to the entrance workplace is one factor that I feel stands proud. “That’s one thing you achieve as you become older and also you get that have and you may talk with (president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski and managing basic associate John Middleton) to advocate for issues.

Harper brazenly campaigned for the Phillies to re-sign catcher J.T. Realmuto when he was about to turn out to be a free agent and likewise pushed to usher in Nick Castellanos, Kyle Schwarber and Turner.

Strahm, resident of West Fargo, North Dakota and an avid baseball card collector, on what he’d like so as to add to his assortment: “I’ve one in all them, however I don’t have it the way in which I would like it. I’ve a 1961 Roger Maris. It’s a PSA 4 (high quality). I’d prefer to get a ten. But Roger Maris, North Dakota man, 61 homers on ’61. So I feel having his ’61 card could be cool in a PSA 10.

“There are a few out there, but they’re an arm and a leg. And I’m kind of cheap.”

Diamondbacks supervisor Torey Lovullo on taking part in pickup basketball together with his coaches: “We actually played (Tuesday) morning at the Palestra and the Palestra is probably my favorite venue of all that we play in. There’s something special about it. There’s so much history there. I spent time walking around, learning about the building. It’s just a lot of fun.”
