Cole and Shane plus 20


Last night was fairly epic in terms of Phillies history.  It's not often that the Phillies score 20 runs or more.  In fact, this is just the 6th time since 1954 (numbers don't exist before then, so don't ask).  Let's take a look back at the 20 run games that the Phils have put up (3 in the last 2 years).  The Philies have also scored 19 runs twice (and we'll include them in here). 

Just a side note, the Phils had played in 136 games where they scored 13 runs or more and had only lost one of them, a 17-19 loss to the Reds.

Star-divide

Game #1: 26-7 win against the NYM (talked about a lot recently)

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI198506110.shtml

Highlights:

Von Hayes 2 first inning homerunes.
Juan Samuel goes 5-7. 
Rick Schu had 4 hits?!?!
Phils scored 16 unanswered and the Mets then scored 7 before the Phils "put it away".

Game #2: 23-22 win against the Chicago Cubs.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN197905170.shtml

Maybe the most "epic" of ragular season games in Phils history.  Even moreso since it went into extra innings (the odds of a game being tied 22-22 after 9 has got to be slim, eh Matt?).

Highlights:

Phils start off the game with 7 in the top of the first and the Cubs come back with 6 in the bottom of the inning.  Talk about a deflator.
Bowa goes 5-8. 
Gary Maddox goes 4-4 and Greg Gross pinch runs for him with the score 16-6.  Oops.
Tugger comes in during the 5th inning and gives up 7 runs (4 earned).
Cubs were down 21-9, came all the way back just to lose it.  Haha.

Game #3: Phils win 22-1 against the Reds.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI200907060.shtml

Read about it everywhere...

Game #4: Phils win 21-8 against the Chicago Cubs.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI199907030.shtml

Highlights:

Doug Glanville goes 3-5 in his one awesome year.
Rico Brogna, Scott Rolen, Marlon Anderson and Mike Lieberthal went deep.
Marlon Anderson went 5-6.
Alax Arias went 3-5. 
Micky Morandini goes 1-4 (for the Cubs).
Kyle Farnsworth went .1 innings to start the game.

Game #5: Phils beat St. Louis 20-2.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/SLN/SLN200806130.shtml

This is still fresh in people's minds especially since it was the start of an offensive slide for the Phightins'.

Hightlights:

Jimmy rollins takes an 0-4.  Figures.
Howard goes 3-5 with 2 homers.
Carlos Ruiz goes 4-6 with 4 RBI.
Kyle Kendrick let in 1 run in 7 innings?!?!?! (8 hits and 1 strikeout)
Phils scored 2 off of Roidin Franklin.

Game #6: Phillies beat Colorado 20-5.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI200805260.shtml

This is still fairly fresh since it happened last year as well.

Highlights:

Chase Utley goes 3-6 witha a HR and 6 RBI.
Pat the Bat takes an Ofer (but OPS still over 1.000).
Pedro Feliz, Chris Coste and So Taguchi combine for a...wait for it...wait...10-17 with 9 RBI.
Shane Victorino had 1 hit, but 4 runs scored.
Phils saw 202 pitches but threw 116...recipe for success.

Bonus Game #7: Phils beat the Cubs 19-1.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/PHI/PHI198606230.shtml 

The mid-80s Phils were such an offensive juggernaught.

Highlights:

Rick Schu goes 4-5 playing 3rd.
Mike Schmidt goes 2-4 playing first.
Juan Samuel goes 3-5 with 6 RBI.
Steve Jeltz takes the big Ofer.
Sarge! Gary Matthews takes an Ofer as well, but for the Cubs.
R Roenicke played a game in CF...um, who is that? 
Jamie Moyer goes 2.2 innings...in the LOSS!
Shane Rawley goes the distance in the win.

Bonus Game #8: Phils beat the Dodgers 19-10.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/LAN/LAN196109120.shtml

This goes way back, 1961.

Highlights:

D Demeter goes 4-5 with 7 RBI. 
Johnny Callison pinch hit in the 2nd inning with the score 6-4.
Ruben Amaro Sr goes 3-4.
Clay Dalrymple goes 3-5.
Sandy Kofax...(yeah baby, you heard it here) goes 1.1 innings giving up 6 runs in the loss. 
J Buzhardt goes .1 innings for the Phillies before being pulled.
Chris Short gets the win going 7.2 innings of relief giving up 6 runs.
J Baldschum somehow got the save in a 19-9 game pitching just 1 inning coming in with 2 men on base.

Not if you include the post-season....

Just a side note, the Phils had played in 136 games where they scored 13 runs or more and had only lost one of them, a 17-19 loss to the Reds.

I cringe even posting it, but there’s this one too.

Post Season don’t count!

For Who? My teammates.

For What? To Win.

How Much? Where do I sign?

Andersen

Looking back at that box score, I’d forgotten how central a role Larry Andersen played in blowing that game. He doesn’t talk about that much on the radio these days….

I attended Game #1.

I remember leaving in the 6th inning with my mom and our neighbor (I was about 10) and the game was dragging on.
When the phillies tacked on a couple more XBHs I vividly remember hearing Whitey clamor “good night” (in the manner of ‘wow’) as I lay in the back seat of my mom’s car crossing the Walt Whitman bridge.

Ron Roenicke

A “roenicke” pitched last night for the Reds. As I was driving home fomr pub-trivia, I heard him announced and wondered if he was related to Ron Roenicke (I remembered the name because it’s so oddball….right up there with Gary Redus).
Frantzke teased with “he’s got major league bloodlines” and then never came back to tell who he was related to, I’m guessing it’s Ron, but never found out.

Stupid Frantzke.

Thanks

… for a great post. The oldest game has some old-time names I remember as a kid. Chris Short came in for long relief – what are the odds that in a nine-inning game you’d ever see a relief pitcher getting 5 at-bats. And I have no idea what the save rule could have been like if getting three outs to end the game with a ten-run lead qualifies. I do know that back then the save rule was either non-existent or of so little importance it was never discussed. Even in 1964, when Baldschun played a big role out of the bullpen I don’t recall anyone ever saying “He got the save” after a game.
