The Phillies had a really bizarre fifth inning, which featured the most pointless pickoff attempt of all time and also an incredible triple-play. Let’s start with the “what the heck was he thinking” throw to first that most certainly did not catch the baserunner, or in this case, the basestander.

What an inning.
Nick Pivetta, what are you doing, fam? I can’t stop watching this. It sort of reminds me of that time Matt Barnes tried to get Kobe to flinch.
The inning got better for Philadelphia though, and it all started, of course, with newfound hero Rhys Hoskins. He dove and caught a fly ball which kickstarted an incredible triple-play.
