Cameron Rupp is probably better than this

When things start to go right, even temporarily, it’s easy to point to the successes. The top of the Phillies lineup is having a ball right now, with Cesar Hernandez, Aaron Altherr, Odubel Herrera, and Maikel Franco putting a charge into the ball. Howie Kendrick was performing before he got hurt, Brock Stassi hit a triple the other day, Michael Saunders has been making solid contact and hit a ball into the second deck the other night. But as some numbers go up, our eyes drift toward those that have stayed low. In the Phillies lineup, one guy who has yet to see any amount of success at the plate in 2017 is catcher Cameron Rupp.
