Hector Neris is a success story of the Phillies’ 2018 season

Do you like Hector Neris? It’s a complex question.

Well, not really. You probably don’t know Hector Neris. He was born in San Cristobal in the Dominican Republic. His nicknames are “Happy Hector” or “Compa H.” His splitter can bend time. Bruce Bochy thinks he’s an idiot. He was a big supporter of this large Panamanian child at the Little League World Series.

Not a lot to dislike, unless you were a Phillies fan circa April-June 2018. During this time, Neris threw a little over 500 pitches, some of which landed very far away.
