Phillips Defense

This is action footage, first captured and then rendered into GIF form by the author, of Team USA second baseman Brandon Phillips making a decidedly above-average defensive play on a ground ball by Italian right fielder Mario Chiarini.

Humans are capable of this achievement: that’s the point of this dumb post.





 

Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.

He’s a Red! He has no business defending America. I think he’s a spy. His real name is probably Brandovny Phillipovski.
