I love Chris Archer. I really do. He’s fun and talented and everything baseball should be.
But I won’t deny it was fun watching him get pasted by the Phillies offense. They absolutely ravaged him, scoring eight runs over four innings on a day when he obviously didn’t have his best stuff.
Most of the damage came in the second inning, when it seemed like the Phillies literally couldn’t stop getting hits.
It started right away. Nick Williams doubled and Scott Kingery doubled, and that was the first run.
