I'm Still OK With Odubel Herrera's Perfect Amount Of Bat Flip And You Should Be, Too
Previously on Odubel’s Perfect Amount Of Bat Flip:
See, kids. THIS is how you bat flip. Not Jose Bautista dick flipping it to the moon. Not some high school hardo launching it Cape Caniveral style on a motherfucking walk off SINGLE. Obdubel does it perfectly with a hard, yet slightly subtle instantaneous reaction to declaring Jenga on a baseball. It really couldn’t be any more textbook. He’s not showing off/showing up the pitcher, but he’s doing a little something to let you know he’s a better man than all of us. Oh, and the Phils won 7-0 and Herrera continues his All-Star type year leading the team with a .314 average from a stellar lead off spot. Plus his 6 home runs are about 4 more than I anticipated the entire outfield to hit all year. So we’ve got that going for the Phillies who just snapped a 40 game losing streak, which is nice.
In related news, rookie sensation Zach Eflin will get his first start today in the show. The 6’6, 22-year-old aquired in the Jimmy Rollins deal has been straight slaying in the minors this season. Just keep on piling on the young talent, Matt Klentak. Well done. Somewhere in a lonely first base box, Ruben Amaro Jr weeps.
