Ender probably gets that ball or close to it if he's healthy

Ender is camped under that ball.
Everyone knows I'm not the biggest Ender fan but that was a horrendous play by Bruce.

Phillies recap:
“McCann dropped his bat on a 2-2 splitter. The ball carried toward left-center field. Bruce might not have gotten his best jump on a ball with a 65 percent catch probability, according to Statcast. It fell in front of him. Both runs scored.
“I felt like I got a fine jump, I felt like it was just placed perfectly,” Bruce said. “Obviously, hindsight being 20/20, if I dive for it ... we'll never know. I didn't feel like I could get to it. I really didn't. It's tough. I wanted to get to it, I just don't feel like I could have.””

I'm not following on the Phillies roster construction. Given that Kingery is their best defensive OF (and not really an OF), one would think they would have a caddy for Bruce. It surely isn't Nick Williams, who is not much of a defensive OF either. They just picked up Brad Miller and he's a decent LHH utility guy who has played some OF, but that's not his forte either and he seems superfluous given the Phillies already have utility guy in Sean Rodriguez and positional flexibility with Kingery. They seem like a team that could benefit from a strictly defensive OF. They certainly have enough bats.

In my opinion, the Phillies are the worst ran heavy analytic team in baseball. Their approach to team building makes no sense and that was true last season when they paid an obvious declining Arrieta and signed Carlos Santana to displace their stud rookie first baseman who very obviously didn’t have the body type to play an adequate LF.
Neither Bruce or Kingery seemed to know how to catch that one.

I love the Faillies whine about injuries and how this series isn’t fair. Did they see who started the first series we played. JT, wilson and Wright. Two guys who were not ready to compete yet. Then we had venters, Biddle, Sobo and minter all who were ineffective or bad. Injuries happen. They happpen all the time. You build a team to cover those injuries. The faillies didnt. They got the best 20 guys they could and didn’t pay attention to the depth.

I know I'm late to the party, but I can only watch the games on replay. That was the sweetest game of the year. Wow!

Absolutely. Winning every game while giving up 7 runs per is totally sustainable.

They’re a garbage organization now and we should count our blessings. Unfortunately, they’ve still managed to buy enough talent to hang with us in the division race. Hopefully we can make a few moves at the deadline to put us over the top.
And hopefully the Nationals don’t figure it out.
BMac might become a Braves coach/manager some day.

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
Wasn’t expecting it to be Ynoa up, even though we were expecting Winkler to be sent down.
Just hope since he's been around both extremes (Braves during the Dinosaur era and Astros and their analytics FO and now AA who has a bit a mix of both) that he could be a more modern Bobby.
We are also going to have a ton of money coming off the books and a lot of cheap players on the roster. I’d much rather spend that money on Grandal. He’d be a big upgrade and wouldn’t have a qualifying offer attached since he received one last year.
