4. We’re so back.

5. Nobody on the field could believe what just happened

6. Bryce just like, “…dude what?”

7. “Ranger Suarez is the best fielding pitcher on the Phillies…”

   Taijaun: and I took that personally.

8. I can’t tell if that was luck, skill, or some combination of both but it was an incredible play

9. Bro what

10. Just give the Phillies the NL Pitchers Gold Glove now

11. We’re going to have a whole rotation finish top 5 in Cy Young voting entirely because of their defense. 

12. He has a blue aura

13. Walker is an incredible athlete. I miss watching him pitch.

14. The Padres have been cursed ever since they let the That’s What’s In song into the universe

15. Good pitcher fielding is my favorite thing in baseball I think?

16. Looked like Trea was right there to be honest lol. Amazing nonetheless.

17. Holy shit, that might beat out the Vince Velazquez lefty throw as the craziest play by a Phillies pitcher

18. hes so cool

19. This happens to me every day on MLB the show

20. If only I could be that ridiculously smooth at anything

21. Pheels like the Phillies play their best defense against us

22. Bro using the force

23. Regarding the title, it would have been a double play either way with where Turner was playing but that doesn’t take away the fact that this was an insane play.

24. GODDAMN that was sexy

25. I love watching crowd reactions on these plays. What a catch.

26. This is one of those crazy plays you picture in your head but never expect to ever happen

29. *cues up Smooth by Carlos Santana*

30. Love that guy!

31. We need to check the Phillie Phanatic for PEDs (pitcher enhancing defense)

32. Runner just hanging around and looking back to first because there wasn’t a chance in hell he’d get back. Unbelievable play.

33. That dude went to the same high-school I did. Good on him even though I’m a dads fan.
