This feels like as good a time as any to point out Odubel Herrera is having a hot start

You have to dig a little deeper to get to the actual baseball when discussing the Phillies right now.

On the top player is the drama; the Gabe Kapler-booing, the Nick Williams-shaming, the clubhouse-grumbling; the analytics-bashing; the J.P. Crawford-demoting. There’s enough there to keep the obese, tittering hamsters who run our city’s talk radio elements fed for weeks. From their warm nests of garbage, they will chirp over only the most critical Phillies issues of the day, like whether a manager will be fired within the first ten games (he won’t), to whatever this person is so upset about, which appears to be that Odubel Herrera is somehow “selfish” for still wanting to get on base and be productive after his team had scored eight runs in an inning.
