The Phillies signed Vincent as a free agent and recalled him to the majors in early September. For the most part he was effective, not allowing any runs in 12 of his 14 appearances.
In one of those scoreless outings, the only reason he didn’t give up any runs was because he allowed two inherited runners to score, ending the game. That came a day after he served up a walk-off home run in an eleven-inning loss to the Reds.
Those two games taught us an important lesson that everyone involved really should have already known: A team with hopes of contention probably shouldn’t call upon a guy they picked up off the scrap heap in high-leverage situations.
