I’ll never forget Ryan roberts walk off grand slam against the dodgers. IMO the best baseball comeback in modern baseball history.

[@TG-ld8hl]

You can definitely make that argument. Down to your final out, division rival, and you score 6 runs? Unreal

[@PopOutPaulie]

Nah the Mets comeback last year against Phillies definitely has that title. But this one isn't far behind

[@tony6666]

Indians vs Mariners is the greatest comeback of all time.

[@alexw0310]

@@PopOutPaulie They were down by 6 with 0 outs in the 9th in April against a Phillies team that was trying to find its footing. The D-Backs one is better

[@tylercurtis6720]

July 28, 2001 Pirates vs Astro is the greatest. It was 8-2 with 2 outs in the ninth. What makes it great is the cast of characters that scored those 7 runs to win.

Trevor Plouffe’s 2015 run in May/June was insane.

It’s crazy how he’s hitting even worse in the Japanese minor leagues than he did the last few years with the Reds

De la Cruz is going through the same situation, he tore up the minors, then has a great start in the majors, but has been going through a long drought/struggle, at this point, the reds are just keeping him around because of his speed

2013 spring and summer Dominic Brown is the greatest enigma I have ever witnessed as a Phillies fan. Dude just went ballistic for that year. I literally cannot describe how good he was. I thought he would be the future. And then he vanished off the face of the diamond. I still have a promotion night plastic drink cup of him from a ballpark night that year. Wild to remember him going insane like that.

[@cameron9054]

I think Mark Trumbo and Joey Meneses deserve a spot here. Mark Trumbo had a solid career. He had 3 or 4 phenomenal seasons, one including 47 home runs. He fell off a cliff though. Meneses had an amazing end of the 2022 season. He’s been pretty good this year, but nothing like the end of last year.

Cool, another one of these. If you want ideas for another, you could take a look at Sam Haggerty in 2022. Had a summertime stretch where he was crushing lefties and playing great defense.

[@fortynights1513]

M’s fan here. I’d say he’s a decent player to have on your bench, but that summer definitely deserves to be singled out. That 2022 M’s team is a season I’ll never forget because of the drought ending, and Haggerty’s hitting in the summer was part of it. Side note: He would’ve been nice to have in the playoffs; too bad he got hurt in a game against Detroit that was after we clinched.

[@sunex1666]

I'm really suprised I've never seen Scott Kingery in these videos or "Worst contracts ever" videos. I wish someone did a deep dive as a Phillies fan.

[@floridaman6281]

Injuries suck. Plus a 6/24mil isn’t the worst contract ever, and is relatively cheap compared to some of the worst ones. Hell, the Rockies sent $50mil to the Cardinals in the Arenado trade, over double what the Phillies paid Kingery

Mateo and Rooker regressing is why I refuse to trust expected stats

[@AndThatsBaseball]

A lot of times it takes teams a month or two to figure out a new weakness in a batter that finds adjustments over an offseason. Expected stats aren’t really as predictive as people think, they just show what a player’s numbers should look like based on their current tendencies. Exploitation of previously unexploited weaknesses will decrease expected and actual stats

[@GaijinBaseball]

Aristides Aquino has been buried in the NPB minors since about May. To add to his OPS being terrible, his wRC+ is 25. It's not just a "year of the pitcher" thing, he sucks. Also most of the guys putting up historic seasons (Yamamoto, Sasaki, etc) are Pacific League pitchers, the Dragons are a Central League team, meaning that Aquino didn't even face them. I normally don't want foreign players to fail in NPB, but to see a bunch of people run their mouth about how he was going to be a star, and even break the Dragons team home run record in year 1, it's nice to have an "I told you so" moment in my back pocket for whenever people spit some ignorant stuff when a decently recognizable foreign player gets signed.

[@AndThatsBaseball]
