The Phillies have a blind spot for Odúbel Herrera the way Daryl Morey has a blind spot for old Houston Rockets.
Herrera cost the Phillies another game Wednesday when he misplayed a hard-hit ball to center field in the seventh inning. He ran to the wrong spot, ignored the inevitable affect the wind would have on the ball — in fact, he seemed surprised that wind even exists — and, as the ball landed harmlessly at the base of the wall, appeared to suffer a mild seizure.
It allowed the tying and winning runs to score. It wasted another golden outing from Aaron Nola.
