“I fielded like garbage today. I just didn’t play very well. I didn’t. I was very fortunate that team even gave me an opportunity in that last inning because I wasn’t playing very well.” –Daniel Murphy
It’s amazing how much less annoying Daniel Muprhy has been since the rest of the team became good. Seriously, I can’t remember him doing something ridiculously stupid since Sandy Alderson made sure that Murphy wasn’t the best hitter on the roster (or didn’t have to be.)
And it’s also amazing how nobody on the Braves threatened to hit Daniel Murphy with a baseball for reacting the exact same way to his home run than he did against the Phillies.
