We listened to the game on the radio. Don't think it was televised in Philly area.

We were down at the lake in Landingville listening to the game. I was so excited I insisted we go back home to watch the second game of the doubleheader on tv. So we went home and the game wasn't on tv. I think a then-18 Rick Wise started the second game IIRC.

Rick Wise won the second game. 8-2 final score.

Not that I am old enough to remember, but my parents tell me that Wise no hit the Mets for like 5 innings to start the nightcap, and in doing so the Phillies set a record for most consecutive innings of holding an opponent hitless.

Id think its a pretty low percentage. Wil Myers and Matt Carpenter come to mind, but Im sure there are lots more.


Justin Bour is another one

Phillies are the first team in National League history to lose three consecutive games, all at home, all in extra innings. #elias

Is there a metric for the likelyhood that so many prospects would not pan out for one team?

Too early to say that any of the post Utley generation hasn't panned out yet
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

Altherr has played about 1 full year now, 160 games. His line:

.238/326/.427.
102 wRC+
.307 BABIP
2.4 WAR

If he maintains the slightly lower K rate he's had this year, he's good enough to be a starter on a playoff-caliber team.

Getting real tired of Mackanin reaming out players in the press. There has to be a manager who can communicate better with younger players, especially Latin Americans, than him. The public verbal floggings haven't improved any player's game. Time to move on from him.

I don't think that's correct. He allowed a run in both the second and third inning. The Mets only had three hits in the game. The Phils had four errors. Wise pitched six good innings and the immortal Johnny Klipstein finished the game.
