Watch the Brewers' No. 2 prospect struggle with the word that cost him a 4th-grade spelling bee

With spell check, autocorrect, and the ability to now communicate entirely with emoji, knowing how words are actually spelled is harder than ever. Which is why I feel a great kinship with the Brewers' No. 2 prospect, Brett Phillips.  
Phillips, coming off a season in which he hit 16 home runs and was traded to Milwaukee in the Carlos Gomez deal this July, was asked about the word which caused him to lose in a fourth-grade spelling bee.
