Just here to lay my wreath and wrath on the pile. G/O management: you did this. You took something worthwhile and broke it for either no reason or for really piss poor reasons.

Nope. Ball is mishandled and goes into center field.

Also worth noting: at one point Wheeler struck out seven Phillies batters in a row.
