I have been a huge Odubel Herrera advocate since he first joined the Phillies. While I admit he makes costly mistakes, he still is a positive influence on the team. However, those mistakes are getting more and more costly.
The latest came on the basepaths in Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the Mets. In the seventh inning, he reached first base safely on a throwing error by shortstop Amed Rosario while trying to turn a double play. After running through the base, he took a half step towards second base as he looked for the ball.
