The only thing that can stop Andrelton Simmons' defense is the burning fire of our yellow sun

To Andrelton Simmons, "blooper" was a foreign word. The 25-year-old Braves shortstop already had two Gold Glove Awards to his credit entering Spring Training and the all-time record for defensive runs saved (DRS) in a single season (41 in 2013).

We joked that his range might grow exponentially and gobble up baseballs in other states, but we didn't take into account the fiery power of the burning star at the center of our solar system.

On Wednesday, during the Phillies-Braves Grapefruit League matchup, Phils third baseman Cody Asche hit a popup out toward shallow left field. Simmons ranged back, called for the play and ...

Wait ... he didn't make the play? How is that even a possible outcome?

As Phillies broadcaster Tom McCarthy pointed out, that goes down in your scorebooks as a "sun-drenched single."
