I watched the end of the Phillies game on Sunday out at my sister’s house. It was disappointing of course, but in the bigger picture, the team took three of four to get themselves back on track before a trip down to Atlanta. Driving home, it felt like a good idea to flip on local sports radio.
I was wrong.
In short, the postgame discourse was about how much of an abomination it was that Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto did not hit in the final inning, even after Edmundo Sosa began the frame with a single to put a runner on with no one out, the Phillies down by two.
