Kelly, who started and lost Game 2 Tuesday, said he knew the home fans were going to be loud."They love their Phillies," he said.in the National League Championship Series on Tuesday night, Diamondbacks pitcher Merrill Kelly said his Philly crowd comments before the game were taken out of context on social media.
“I thought it was fun,” Kelly said about the atmosphere of Citizens Bank Park. “Obviously it didn’t go our way, but like I said previously in that interview before that little snippet was taken out of context and made into something it was maybe more than it should have been — I said that from the very start. I knew the energy was going to be loud.“I knew these fans would bring a ton of energy, they love their Phillies, so it’s nothing I didn’t know going into the game. … It was definitely loud.
The right-hander, who allowed three hits and four earned runs while striking out six in his Game 2 start, was referring to an interview on Monday, when Kelly was asked if the 2023 World Baseball Classic prepared him for this type of stage.“I haven’t obviously heard this place on the field, but I would be very surprised if it trumped that Venezuela game down in Miami,” Miller said Monday.
