We don’t know what the future holds for this series against the Cardinals. We’re so used to the pendulum of momentum swinging constantly away from the Phillies that to witness what happened in that ninth inning yesterday seems almost unconscionable. Usually, it’s the Cardinals the ones on the receiving end of a sprinkle of magic dust from the baseball gods that to see the Phillies getting it is jarring.
We know that the biggest parts of the inning were the ones that get videos made out of them: the Jean Segura single, the hit by Bryson Stott the “single” from Brandon Marsh.
