Kalas Already Depressed About Phillies

Eh. Losing a series to the Mets less than a dozen games into the series isn’t a washout, but once again the Phillies have opened the season flat. If the Phillies had any sort of psychological edge against the Mets, it ended when Jose Reyes was called safe last night in the bottom of the 12th inning.

Bugs and Cranks has frame-by-frame coverage of the play at the plate — thank you, I didn’t want to have to do that myself — and it appears Coste (ever the wily minor league vet) blocks the plate and tags Reyes out before he touches the plate. It’s hard to tell.

This is true: Harry Kalas had already ended the game by the time Angel Pagan singled into center field. Check out his call after the jump.
