Man is Bohm a terrible defender.

You can’t backhand that ball.

[BelmontShore]

Phillies' hitters don't have the same 2 strike discipline that the Brewers hitters possess. None of them chase out of the zone.

One shuffle step right and he's in front of that ball. He's just too big a.lumbering, he certainly wasn't light on his feet, on his toes.

[Captain Obvious]

Yeah we can blame Bohm. Alvarado didn't help much, and quite frankly. Neither did this offense sans Turners home run.

Can't lay down all game and rely on one good inning or one good hit

Regardless, that's two heartbreaking losses in a row. Hopefully this is not a sign...

Alec Bohm is by far my least favorite Phillie.

Guy was a top 3 pick and hits okay but should be nowhere near a defensive infield.

He just doesn’t hit enough for 1B/OF/DH.

He is a bench player; maybe.

Edit: the idea that has been anything other than terrible at 3b is crazy. He is last in defensive runs saved at 3rd, and even negative at 1st.

That measure also has Rojas as one of the best defenders in baseball. I think he needs to be in the lineup as much as possible in the playoffs; it's up to the other guys to hit. He can change games in the outfield.

At the moment, for October, I'd lean toward:

vs. righties:
CF Marsh
LF Cave (with Rojas entering when SP leaves; Rojas to CF, Marsh over to LF)

vs. lefties:
CF Rojas
LF Marsh (he's sub .700 OPS vs. lefties, but that's the best we have, unless they decide to really take a look at Wilson)

Pache is intriguing vs. lefties, but to take him in addition to Cave/Rojas, you'd have to navigate a series with Sosa as the sole backup infielder

[Skyjack]

You gotta move your feet to make that play. You can't be reaching across your body. Shuffle sideways, get in front of it, get your glove down and secure the fucking baseball. Then run to the bag.

Fuck.

LL baseball instruction-get in front of the ball. Stott does it most of the time; Turner and Bohm matador the play. It fails, especially at 3B where the ball comes hottest off of the bat from a RH hitter.
