Imagine this happening on your birthday.....which leads to you being fired.....on your birthday.......

[@XLManny]

This is the game where Bryce Harper decided he wanted to be on the Phillies

[@stephaniegilmer591]

nice

[@filipinowhiteboy]

Good. Without him, the Nats finally won a world series.

[@kevinmiller1985]

@@filipinowhiteboy No doubt he kicked himself for signing with the Phillies.

That's what I thought lol

[@sportsmediaamerica]

LOL, and what a great decision THAT turned out to be!

[@nuts45150]

Kruk brought that 11 run first inning up and that prediction came true

It's amazing that lineup could score 12 runs in a series, let alone in one inning.

[@gabegarcia9069]

Guthrie had a 135 era after this game

[@slaymyface1357]

Atleast it wasnt a infinite

[@ChubyBoi]

wow... 135.0

[@hineighbor]

He also retired after this game

[@matthewdowling6549]

This is 36 minutes. I can't even Imagine how long this was in real time with all the pitching changes.

[@sportsmediaamerica]

There was only 1 pitching change in that inning.

[@e-riddler-nigma9380]

this would be guthrie's last mlb game as the nats designated him for assignment the next day.

[@quadb6574]

As I began watching this video I had wondered what happened to Jeremy Guthrie, since I live in the DC area and see the National fairly often (although I'm a Phils fan). Good lord, to be forced out of MLB in such ignominious fashion had to suck.

[@quadb6574]

13:57 John Kruk was more than prophetic when he said Guthrie was pitching for his baseball life.

[@kelvinwang8760]

deserved it :/

[@BrandonAngliss]

Quad B you have quite the vocabulary, good work!

Ignominious isn't ignoramus is what I learned today.

careful, hes a hero

[@domanddev]

I really wish I would’ve seen this first 😩

[@sportsmediaamerica]

Phils finished 66-96. This was the highwater mark of their 2017 season. Nats went to the playoffs with a 97-65 record.

[@larrycopeland2413]

One amazing thing about this inning is that the Phillies were batting 1.000 for this game through their first 15 batters (because sac flies don't count as times at-bat).

[@RMR1]

This was Jeremy Guthrie's 38th birthday -- and his final appearance in the big leagues after an 11-year career. He ended 2017 with a 135.00 ERA and a WHIP of 15 (to be fair, that's because this was his ONLY appearance that year -- 10 earned runs in 2/3 of an inning.) He finished his MLB career 91-109 and a 4.42 ERA.

[@scottrohrbeck7672]

This was a game I attended. It was hysterical. And this was before we had Hoskins. Can we go back to hitting like this please?

[@mattgillmore4177]

I miss baseball! I think that is how I ended up here.

[@Bucketgetter215]

Me and my boy were at this game Can't believe it was five years ago and I was a senior in high school good memories

[@billdelfera8580]

17:56 inning should have been over right here. And I'm a huge philly fan

[@nathansnyder1595]

Every time I try to scroll to a different part of this video I get an ad. Ridiculous

[@chaseplaystationvault]

Being a kid who got into baseball around 2013, watching the phillies rebuild was tough, but we had some awesome moments. Im kinda sad we dont have any faces still from this lineup... aside from Aaron nola.

[@jameslisle7775]

Phillies scored 8 runs with 2 outs!

Thanks for blowing it for me. I didn't finish watching yet, James.

[@chartemant]

Zach Gilbert exactly

[@BrianSchaffer]

And ZERO homers.

[@keith3915]

And 0 of those 12 runs were on longballs. That's just fantastic situational hitting all around.

[@hineighbor]

I was at this game! Only Phillies game I made it to that season unfortunately. But I picked a good one.

[@1981lashlarue]

The first Reds game my dad took me to when I was a young kid the Reds scored 10 runs in the first inning. A memorable one for me too!

[@jackkennedy8452]

12 runs, 0 dingers

Now I feel bad for Mike Borzillo of Deptford NJ

[@sth02]

Death by 1000 cuts

And in Citizens Bank Park no less.

[@coolguy02536]

And Guthrie gave up 30 dingers a year on average.

Yo this Phillies lineup was absolute cheeks too. Ended up winning 66 games.

It's horrible watching one mans career end in one inning.

[@MrKaywyn]

A tremendous performance.

[@oldaccount3635]

*Mercy Rule*

[@gr81_gr81]

17:55 is a strike, bad call by the umpire that basically ruined the pitchers career. Shame on him

[@JB06isgoated]

this is a great example of baseball players having fun with their team

[@josephquinn3582]

As a mets fan, I absolutely despise every team in the NL East except for the Marlins. This is the only time ever I will be happy to see the phillies be successful in any way shape or form

[@2013temple]

The only Phillies highlight of the season.

[@sm0keyd0key]

and not one home run was hit. wow.

The 10 dislikes are probably the Nationals

Blaque 135.00 era lmao

Whenever your last name is Guthrie.... I hope I can become big in football and see that last name pop up again

Dude won a World Series game in 2014 with the Royals. And he's collecting a MLB pension. Who's laughing now?

He was a good pitcher for most of his career.

[@connorochuida8183]

This was the first Phillies game I watched when my mom and grandma moved to Maryland and after that I Asked them if we could get extra innings I didn’t want to mess another Phillies game I moved to Maryland two years after this game but this is a moment I’ll definitely never forget Bryce Harper in a nationals uniform just seems weird

[@kyleellis8665]

Bruh that’s just disrespectful how they clapped for him 😭😭

[@k1l158]

After only two years, excluding Nola, not a single player in this lineup is still on the Phillies

The only position player on the field that is a Phillie is Harper lol

says a lot about the scouts

[@dave-in-nj9393]

what do they post for a guy who is batting around, in the first inning ? double and a walk triple and a single single and a walk..... it was amazing to see 47 pitches in the first part of the first inning.

When half a inning lasts 1/6 of a average game....ONE HALF OF A INNING
