"If It's Not Out, It's In My Glove" -- Johan Rojas, Who Could Likely Play The Entire Outfield By Himself
One thing that has never made any sense to me are people who complain about Johan Rojas being in the Phillies' lineup. I mean sure, the dude can't really hit for dick. But think about some of the biggest legends to come through Philly sports. Brian Dawkins, Reggie White, Bernie Parent. Philly is a city that appreciates and respects a world-class defensive effort. Which is exactly what you get every time Johan Rojas trots out into center field.
There's no such thing as hitting a ball into the gap when Rojas is out there, because there's no gap to be found. If Marsh and Castellanos ever wanted to take an inning off, this sick fuck could just take the whole outfield to himself. Like he said, if you want to get a hit on Rojas then you better put it over the wall.
If it's not out, it's in my glove. God do I hope that interpreter Diego D'Aniello got that one word for word, because what a quote.
The only issue I have with Rojas in the field is that he gets such a great jump on all of these balls that he makes these ridiculous catches look too easy. That was such an insane person grab last night but he made it look routine. Same with the first version of that catch he made during the NLDS last year.
Any average outfielder is going to have to lay out for that thing just to have a chance. Johan Rojas hauls so much ass that he's able to just glide into it. Sick little freak.
