How come every other team hits this guy but we can't despite seeing him 3 times?

LoneStarPhan 2018-05-23 00:30:27 UTC #45

It always seems like there are pitchers who dominate one team and struggle against most others. For some reason, the team dominated seems to often be the Phillies.

Average fielding and the inning is over with NO runs scoring. With runners on first and second, that could easily been the inning ending double play.

I don't recall seeing so many terrible throws by major leaguers as we have seen of late.
