He has to be the best player in MLB history never to win a playoff game?

Oh man, that guy. I remember finding a Danys Baez Phillies iPhone theme that was newly uploaded to a jailbreak repository like two years after he was out of baseball. Like why would you go through the trouble of making that?

Danys had an era+ of 69 (nice) over two years (2010-2011) and someone made this theme in 2012.

That’s some dedication.

Dunno about the worst, but Mike Williams was probably the one who pissed me off the most. A terrible reliever coming from the Pirates (but an All Star!) who predictably performed terribly for the Phils.

The pitch thrown by Chris Sale at 2:04 of this video is one of the most insane I have ever seen. It honest to god seems to legitimately vanish midlfight.

I feel like there was a game when he became our hero though. Pitched like 5 innings or something
