Rob Thomson rarely makes a move that looks as reactionary as this one, but Alec Bohm was benched for Game 2 of the NLDS in favor of Edmundo Sosa.
Alec Bohm started in the All-Star Game this season, drove in 97 runs, was second in the National League with 44 doubles and found himself on the bench for Game 2 of the NLDS.
Bohm finished the season in a 2-for-27 slump and went 0-for-4 in Game 1 on Saturday. They were four relatively weak at-bats: a popup to second base on two pitches, a groundout to second base on one pitch, a groundout to third on two pitches and another groundout to third on a pitch above the strike zone.That final groundout stranded runners on the corners and Bohm slammed his helmet in frustration, which the Phillies want to see less of.
Bohm missed just over two weeks from August 30 through September 15 with a left hand strain, but Thomson said he hasn't complained about the injury since returning.Phillies stumble in Game 1, struggle to find offense in 6-2 loss to Mets despite Wheeler’s brilliant start
