The 1994 Phillies entered the season with high expectations. They had won the National League East division in 1993, and they had a number of key players returning, including Darren Daulton, Lenny Dykstra, and Curt Schilling.

The Phillies started the season strong, and they were in first place in the NL East for most of the year. However, they hit a rough patch in August and September, and they eventually lost the division to the Atlanta Braves.

Despite their late-season collapse, the Phillies still had a chance to make the playoffs as a wild card team. They needed to win their final two games of the season, and they needed the San Francisco Giants to lose both of their final two games.

The Phillies won their first game, but the Giants also won their first game. The Phillies then lost their second game, and the Giants won their second game. The Phillies' playoff hopes were dashed.

There are a number of reasons why the Phillies collapsed in 1994. One reason was that they were not as good as they thought they were. They had a number of key injuries, and their starting pitching was not as strong as it had been in previous years.

Another reason for the Phillies' collapse was that they were not able to handle the pressure of being in a pennant race. They made a number of mistakes down the stretch, and they were not able to come up with the big hit when they needed it.

Finally, the Phillies were simply unlucky. They lost a number of close games, and they were not able to catch a few breaks.
