The Dirty Inning

Justin and Trev discuss one reindeer who you won't find on Santa's sleigh: "Reindeer" Bill Killefer, a Phillies catcher from 1911-17 who one newspaper once called a "frail piece of bric-a-brac."

In 2014, Andrew McCutchen was the reigning MVP, on the cover of MLB: The Show, appearing in ESPN ads, and absolutely shredding the Phillies over 4th of July weekend.

Justin and Trev dive into Bryce Harper and Manny Machado's most terrifying performances against the Phillies, their potentially future team. Also, Justin's most infuriating Jean Segura memory, and Trev reads aloud from Kyle Kendrick's Wikipedia page.

It's time to get dirty like it's 1999. Because it is.

On the latest episode of The Dirty Inning, Justin and Trevor discuss some of the worst, dumbest, or most grating innings in Phillies World Series history. Not for the weak at heart.

Justin and Trevor find the worst innings the Phillies played in 2018 against the two teams in the NLCS, the Brewers and Dodgers.

At the dawn of the '90s, the Phillies were a team in search of their next Mike Schmidt. By September 12, 1990, they still hadn't found him. As Philadelphia suffered through a financial apocalypse and a measles outbreak, the Phillies suffered right along with the rest of the city in a particularly poor showing by starter Jose De Jesus against the Cubs. Join us!

On September 17, 2007, every win counted. With Mets trounced by the Nationals, the Phillies had a chance to climb toward New York in the standings as Clay Condrey entered the game with a nine-run lead. There wasn't much else to do except win easily watch the bullpen start a series of dumpster fires.

Pass the potatoes and we'll tell you the tale of Phillies pitcher Russ Meyer; not a particularly enjoyable man to meet in a locker room. But on a pitching mound? Also not great. At least not on June 4, 1952, when he was part of a Phillies pitching collapse that allowed seven runs to score! So, why didn't the Phillies just score seven of their own runs? Well... they did.

As World War II erupted across the globe, the Phillies were trying their best to lighten the mood the only way they knew how: Losing five hundred baseball games.
