Some of us were lucky enough to catch the 9th inning of the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets’ game on Sunday, the 23rd of August. While we were in Brad Lidge meltdown bliss, and watching Eric Bruntlett make not one but two terrible plays, we saw the second ever game ending unassisted triple play. Bruntlett was in the right place at the right time as he caught a Jeff Francoeur line drive, stepped on second to double up Luis Castillo, and then tagged out Daniel Murphy to complete the triple play. Kudos to Eric Bruntlett for being at spot X when factor Y came into play.

I hope Eric Bruntlett enjoys his last 50 games playing in the majors. He could be the worst hitting non-pitcher in the majors.
It’s too bad Charlie has never pinch hit a pitcher for Bruntlett.
4 hits in the past two games and his average is up to a whopping .158. What can we nickname him? I’m sure we can come up with some entertaining options…
“What can we nickname him?”
I think you could co opt the nickname my parents use for me: The Big Disappointment.
