3. Phillips hits a short fly ball to a charging Jon Jay. I would say 99.5% of base runners don't try to advance, Billy does, he's safe.
4. With Billy on third, Jay Bruce hits a pop up outside of the infield to Kolten Wong. Jon Jay, charging from RF, calls Wong off. Billy tags up and scores relatively easily.
No runner in the bigs challenges that pop up, except for Billy. It was pretty fucking cool to watch. Hope there's a gif/video up soon.

I was at the game yesterday.. me and my dad were like.. uhhh.. yeah don't let this guy on base or else it's a triple.
If I remember correctly, he also hit what appeared to be a single, but was on 2nd before the throw came in from CF. You cannot be lazy charging a ball when it's hit by this kid.
We were joking the Rams might want to take a look at him.
