“Fun to watch,” Pete Mackanin called Odubel Herrera after Monday night’s uncharacteristic stomping of the Blue Jays; but you know on some level he was just hearing raucous circus music in his head.
Herrera had another great game on Monday night, as he torched a solo shot off R.A. Dickey in the top of the third and drove in three runs on the day with his trademark silent stoicism.
“He needs to knock that off,” says a gathering of neighborhood retirees, and on the air sometimes, an increasingly salty Larry Andersen agrees with them. I think the other day, Herrera hit what was an essentially meaningless single given the state of the game and still pointed into the Phillies dugout as he ran up the line.
