I just completely randomly clicked at 1:32:20 of that game, and man was I heartily rewarded over the next few minutes.

HERE’S ANOTHER GUY!!!

Without the stolen base, we would never have gotten Werth stealing 2nd and 3rd against the Mets and draining their will to live from them.

This is pretty great

Here is Scott Kingery making it around the bases twice during Rhys Hoskins’ slow home run trot against Jacob Rhame

God that game owned

I vividly remember everything about following it on Gamecast at work, listening on the ride home, and then going apeshit at home

I don’t get how that entire game isn’t online somewhere. Can only find the ninth inning is (which is awesome but still):

Can't imagine liking a team more than that era's group.

yeah, i thought that about the 93 team, until time revealed what utter mouthbreathers a few of them are

I remember it being on one of the DVDs from that era, but apparently not the "Goosebumps" one

Every* playoff game winning run scored by the Phillies since 1980



*missing 1981 nlds game 3


This is a fun watch, what a hell of a run ‘08-‘11 was

Fun to look back at some of those plays you easily forget about, or just don't see as much. They could not hit Lowe at all in that NLCS, then Burrell took him yard. Some solid Jay Bruce LOLs at 16:01 too.

AHEM

Where is the video of Gavvy Cravath's clutch bases loaded ground out to short that scored Milt Stock and propelled the Phillies to their first World Series victory? THAT'S WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW.

Also can you imagine how long the Yankees version of that would go on for?

Altherr and Ben Lively are in the KBL; that's kinda like the Phillies are playing

I'm not usually a fan of bat flips, but Matthews' at 4:19 is magnificent.

That's called getting your pitch and not missing it. What a great call, too.

Cardinals knock out our fightin' Phillies in the Dream Bracket. On our way to forcing a game 7 when Schilling coughs up a 2 run walk-off HR to Jim Edmonds.
