The Philadelphia Phillies were enjoying a 6-0 lead over the Chicago White Sox in the sixth inning on Tuesday night when announcers Tom McCarthy and John Kruk took a bit of a detour. McCarthy offered an on-air birthday shoutout to his former high school basketball teammate, who apparently was a force on the offensive glass.

Analyst and former Phillies slugger John Kruk would use those comments by McCarthy to take his shot at Reese. “I don’t want to say anything, but there’s someone here in Chicago that does that a lot,” Kruk said. “That is true, she gets her points,” McCarthy responded. “She gets her rebounds, too,” Kruk added.

The Angel Reese vs John Kruk feud isn't one we had on our 2025 bingo card. But the superstar WNBA forward drew criticism of the Phillies analyst Tuesday night.
