Pete Mackanin: ‘I Can Give Freddy Galvis A Pass’

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Freddy Galvis is one of the leaders of the Phillies. He’s not a lollygagger.

However, in Tuesday night’s win over the Mets, Galvis failed to run out a pop-up that was eventually dropped by Jose Reyes, with two outs in the 8th inning of a one run game.

Galvis stood on first base and when the next batter Andres Blanco hit a ground rule double to tie the game at 2, Galvis was on third — where he was stranded.

“I looked at Larry [Bowa] and we were both numb,” Phillies manager Pete Mackanin told the 94WIP Morning Show on Wednesday.
