Took a lot of heat for a sharp-hit grounder that got by him. Ended up being the difference. It was ruled a hit but many think he should have had it.
How is Rich Hill the oldest player in baseball if Jesse Chavez is pitching in his 39th MLB season?
He does bizarre things with the lineup sometimes. A few years ago he put a guy hitting around.150 in to hit leadoff for a week or two because he thought it might improve his plate discipline or something stupid like that. For some reason it didn't work.
I feel like you can find "only the xth time in the past y years!" when you narrow it down to a unique game situation, batted ball result and AB pitch count combo. Just in general there's a lot of combinations there to fill.
Pretty cool about the symmetry of the Phils' last moment of relevance before this, though.

Right, that's the part I find really awesome. The fact that the same team was involved makes it go from, "Huh, that's a stat", to "Okay that's pretty darn cool".
But only for a few innings:

Realmoto hitting third instead of Harper? Wtf.
Ed., didn't matter, they all (3,4,5) went down with no scoring.

Braves officially in peril, need to find something right away. Thor is only good for 1-2 more innings I think.
The Braves are too good to write off this early. This whole day could backfire against the Phils if they go to their best relievers early and long, and somehow blow this game.
Sure, but the Phillies could also just keep scoring too. They've been doing it most of the series.
Yes, according to the Phillies radio broadcast (which I was listening to on Sirius XM). I liked them so much better than this Faux broadcast and its brutal political ads.
