Defensive Gems :
The Phillies flashed the leather in the third inning - shortstop Edmundo Sosa made a nice diving stop and pop up throw to first base on a hard hit grounder up the middle. Pitcher Christopher Sanchez made a running snag on a drag bunt down the first base line and flip to first base, the flip was high but first baseman Otto Kemp went high extension while holding the bag to record the out. Later in the inning catcher Garrett Stubbs picked a one hop pitch and threw a seed in a continuous motion to third base attempting to nail the base runner stealing from second base.

Funny Tidbit :
Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reported that in a Cactus League game yesterday between the Padres and Rangers that “during one of the at bats in the game the home plate umpire was John Bacon, the pitcher was Dylan Cease and the batter Jake Burger. Yep that's right: Bacon Cease Burger.” 😂
Other Notes :
My wife and I plan to move back to PA pending the sale of our house here in Florida - with that in mind I applied for media credentials with both the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and Reading Fightin Phils. I’m happy to announce that both requests have been approved - thanks to each organization for their prompt response and the granting of coverage privileges, very much appreciated and thankful for that honor.
Happy Day, Happy Baseball ⚾️
