Oh my god, we forgot to freak out about Maikel Franco's elbow

Did you guys not know about this or

The Phillies only have one future, but it will presumably include Maikel Franco, their stud third baseman who can hit and field sometimes, and is young and great to see. Look at him out there, fielding that baseball, spinning around, and throwing it to first base, having "Blanco" on the back of his jersey instead of "Franco" because of some cool inside joke that I probably don't understand.

Wait. That's not Franco. That's Andres Blanco. What the hell's he doing out there? For Aaron Nola's debut, no less! The Phillies turned Citizens Bank Park into a shrine for Nola, the pitcher whom I don't believe I'm overstating when I say that he had the most historical Phillies start in the history of the franchise.
