But it is important to remember what really wins baseball games. And, likewise, what loses them. Talent, and lack thereof. For whatever reason, Herrera seems to be emerging as the person who will bear the cross for this year's collective sins. Last year, it was Cesar Hernandez. There was a long time when Jimmy Rollins enjoyed the honor. Yet Herrera also happens to be one of the few players on the roster who has the kind of talent that helps a team win games. True, he's spent much of this season attempting to make us forget that. But over his last 24 games entering Wednesday's win at Seattle, he was hitting .330/.356/.540. There are still too many strikeouts (21 in 100 at-bats), and too few walks (four), but he has at least given the Phillies some reason to think that, by the end of the season, he will be the player he's been through his first two big-league seasons.
