The Phillies offense showed up on in a major way, in their 10-3 win over the Colorado Rockies Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park — with some help from the Rockies’ defense.
One out later, with Bohm on third and Gregorius on second, Rockies starter German Marquez uncorked a wild pitch that scored Bohm. After retrieving the wild pitch, catcher Dom Nunez’s throwing error scored Gregorius. “I felt like everything was playing off of the heater tonight,” he said. “I really stressed, in the bullpen a couple of days ago, low and away heaters to a righty. Because everything flows off of that. The four-seam, the two-seam away to righties. That’s when my mechanics are the best, is when I’m sticking to those pitches.”
“I was telling Nola, I was pretty upset, because I had no idea why they were telling me to throw the ball out,” he said. “We don’t get good baseballs very often. Every single one is different, they’re not all rubbed up the way they should be. And I really liked the baseball I was throwing with, and it took me two or three times of saying ‘No, I’m not throwing the ball out,’ for J.T. to just look and me and be like, ‘Throw the ball out.
The anticipation, so far, has proved to be futile. Bohm hasn’t committed an error at third base since April 11. He’s playing defense offensively, and with confidence. The work he’s done with Phillies infield coach Bobby Dickerson — and it has been aof work — is showing in the way he fields his plays. Since the start of spring training, Dickerson has been doing a drop-step drill with Bohm, in which Bohm wears a protective mask as Dickerson tosses rubber balls toward his head.
