Wilmer Flores throws out Ryan Howard from his butt (VIDEO)

The Phillies may want to brief Ryan Howard on the fundamentals of baseball — namely running out every play.

Watch as Mets second baseman Wilmer Flores throws out Howard from his butt Monday night when the Phillies' slugger runs towards the dugout instead of first base thinking Flores made the catch:

Flores doesn't even throw the ball, he rolls it!

Way to hustle. I'm guessing there was an unfinished Subway foot-long waiting on the bench that needed tending to.

Ryan Howard's Florida mansion will include $80,000 in doorknobs: Report

The doors for Ryan Howard's departure from Philadelphia had been opening and closing pretty quickly leading up the the trade deadline last week and most parties said the Phillies first baseman's price tag was just a little too expensive.

And it apparently takes the same amount of extravagance to open the doors inside Howard's new Florida mansion as well.

Details of the $5.8 million house, which is located near the team's spring training facility in Clearwater and will be completed in 2015, were recently revealed — and it includes $80,000 worth of doorknobs.

Here's the story on the former All-Star's new beachfront house, via the Tampa Bay Times.

The first baseman's new digs — being built on the gulf 10 miles south of the Phillies' Clearwater spring training complex — will (have) eight bedrooms, at least 10 baths, a two-story library, a trophy room, two kitchens, three laundry rooms, two elevators, a wine room and a bowling alley. Doorknobs for the beige home with its terra-cotta roof, one the largest homes in the bay area, will cost $80,000 alone, the Tampa Bay Times reported in 2012.

But perhaps the coolest feature? A swimming pool complete with an underwater treadmill and lazy river that floats under the mansion.

Howard, who will have earned $180 million by the time his contract expires, is getting close to closing the door on a great career.

New rule allowed Ryan Howard to score without touching home plate (VIDEO)

Major League Baseball's new rules on home-plate collisions and instant replay allowed Philadelphia's Ryan Howard to pull off a curious play. He scored a run without even touching home plate.

Standing on first base with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, Howard started running to second when Phillies batter Marlon Byrd hit a pop fly to shallow right field. It should have been an routine out to end the inning, but Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Didi Gregious dropped the ball. With the score tied at 2-2, Howard rounded third base and tried to give Philadelphia the lead. Diamondbacks center fielder Ender Inciarte fielded the ball and threw a laser to catcher Miguel Montero. The throw clearly beat the slow-moving Howard, who tried to step around Montero but was easily tagged out.

But the Phillies began to argue that Montero was illegally blocking the plate. Part of experimental rule 7.13 says, via MLB.com: "The catcher may not block the pathway of a runner attempting to score unless he has possession of the ball. If the catcher blocks the runner before he has the ball, the umpire may call the runner safe."

The umpires reviewed the play and reversed the call. Howard was ruled safe at home, giving the Phillies a 3-2 lead.

Although a reviewed play cannot be challenged, D-Backs manager Kirk Gibson still came out to argue the call to no avail.

Philadelphia went on to win 4-2.

Swarms of moths invade Busch Stadium (VIDEO)

Cleveland is famous for its midges, just about about every city has its bees but now St. Louis has their own version of a bugout — moths.

Gigantic swarms of the flying pests descended upon the Phillies and Cardinals game Friday night following a 50-minute rain delay as dusk turned to night.

Here's how the St. Louis Post-Dispatch described the invasion:

After about a six-inning grace period following a 50-minute weather delay, swarms of plague-like proportions filled Busch Stadium. They flew in a frenzy around the nosebleed lights, swapped sweat with Phillies starter A.J. Burnett and — although this may have been the result of another woeful Cardinals performance at the plate — sent fans scampering from their seats.

I saw Yadier Molina quoted as saying tonight's moths were the worst ever for him. It was bad. #stlcards pic.twitter.com/HH0ASTmgZl

Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina said moths were getting into his mask.

“It was as bad as I’ve ever had to play with with moths. It was bad.”

Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard said he was more affected in the field than at the plate.

“On a ground ball,” he said, “you've just got to hope one doesn’t get you in the face.”

No wonder they showed up. The Phillies continue to keep their bats out of mothballs and beat the Cards, 5-1, for their fifth straight victory

Mets' Matt den Dekker robs home run, throws out runner and eats in outfield (VIDEO)

Mets outfielder Matt den Dekker robbed Ryan Howard of a homer in the second inning then, one inning later, threw out Reid Brignac at the plate all before refueling with a mouthful of snacks at CenturyLink Field Monday night.

The long-haired Mets player — with probably the best Twitter handle in baseball — @UpperDekker — made the two memorable defensive and single digestive plays during his first start of the season against the Phillies.

What can't he do.
