Having to watch Rhys Hoskins' super slo-mo victory lap Wednesday figured to be punishment enough for Jacob Rhame, who enraged the Phillies first baseman the previous night by going double-barrel with a pair of 98-mph fastballs up around his noggin.
Justice was served, right? Hoskins not only got his revenge by taking Rhame into the left-field seats, he stretched out the moment for as long as humanly possible, taking a Statcast-record 34.23 seconds to jog around the bases.
The Phillies won the game, 6-0, and enjoyed every morsel of karmic payback. What was left?
