Sean Murphy Gets Bat Checked After Destroying Phillies Fans Start Petition To Ban Him From Pennsylvania
Two Games Two Bombs One Furious Fanbase
Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy is on fire — and the Philadelphia Phillies are feeling the burn. After blasting homers in back-to-back games, Murphy’s bat has become the most talked-about object in Pennsylvania since the Liberty Bell.
So much so, that umpires checked his bat for tampering after Game 2… and fans weren’t satisfied.
“We’re not saying he cheated, we’re just saying it should be illegal to embarrass us that badly,” a Phillies fan joked on Reddit.
Petition Goes Viral As Philly Fans Demand Ban
In a move that started half as a meme and quickly went full protest, a fan-led petition titled “Ban Sean Murphy from Pitching in Pennsylvania” has racked up a staggering 42,000+ signatures in just 48 hours.
“We don’t care that he’s not a pitcher,” said one frustrated fan.
“The way he throws those baseballs out of the park? It’s criminal.”
The petition has been signed by everyone from diehard Phillies supporters to rival Mets fans who “just want to watch the world burn.”
Murphy Responds With A Wink
When asked postgame about the viral petition, Murphy laughed:
“I love Philly — they’ve got great cheesesteaks and even better motivation.”
“But no, I’m not switching bats. That one’s got good vibes.”
Murphy’s performance included two homers, 5 RBIs, and a .714 OBP across the series — numbers that made even Braves fans say, “This might be personal.”
Phillies Pitching Exposed
While Murphy’s power was the headline, critics are turning their eyes toward the Phillies’ pitching staff, which allowed a combined 13 runs over two games.
“We’re blaming Murphy, but maybe we should check our bullpen’s confidence levels too,” one analyst noted.
Braves Fans Love The Chaos
Atlanta fans are soaking it in:
- “Keep the petition going — he hits better with pressure!”
- “Murphy owns Pennsylvania real estate now.”
- “You can’t ban greatness, only watch it destroy you.”
