2008 Philadelphia Phillies Season/Playoff Thread (Die Mets Die)

[ice grillin you]

this is nuts...

really, the offensive onslaught began last Wednesday night when the Phillies hung 12 runs on Washington at Nationals Park. That was six games ago, and during this stretch, the Phillies have scored 60 runs and are batting .349 (82-for-235) with a .418 on-base percentage and .613 slugging percentage.

Here's a breakdown of how each player has done during the six-game stretch. What you'll find is offensive balance throughout the lineup, something the Phillies have been looking for since the season began.

Pedro Feliz: 13-for-27 (.481), 1 HR, 8 RBI, 7 R
Chris Coste: 7-for-17 (.412), 1 HR, 5 RBI, 3 R
Shane Victorino: 11-for-27 (.407), 1 HR, 5 RBI, 10 R
Ryan Howard: 9-for-24 (.375), 4 HR, 12 RBI, 9 R
Greg Dobbs: 3-for-8 (.375), 2 RBI, 2 R
So Taguchi: 3-for-8 (.375), 3 RBI, 3 R
Jimmy Rollins: 10-for-30 (.333), 4 RBI, 3 R
Carlos Ruiz: 4-for-13 (.308), 2 RBI, 2 R
Chase Utley: 7-for-23 (.304), 2 HR, 11 RBI, 6 R
Geoff Jenkins: 4-for-14 (.286), 1 HR, 3 RBI, 3 R
Pat Burrell: 5-for-19 (.263), 3 HR, 3 RBI, 5 R

burrell sucks

Holy Lord.

The Phils are now six games over .500. Last year's team didn't achieve that until they won on July 29th! This team is two months ahead of schedule.

That excalamation point is entirely unnecessary.

[phattymatty]

No, it's warranted.  The July 29th part is intended to be read louder than the rest of the sentence.

thats a pretty interesting number...its ironic that even in accomplishing that they would still be out of the playoffs if the season ended right now


i wonder if the nl is that much better or if the teams at the bottom are that much worse

I agree, friend!

Joe Kerrigan is on WIP and he said that hitters are hitting over .400 off of myers' first two pitches of an at bat, ha

wait for some things to even themselves out with those central teams and florida. you figure if the phils stay on this pace they shouldnt have a problem making the playoffs.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The Mets could still get hot.








Couldn't they?

wait for some things to even themselves out with the phillies' pitching. Then they'll fall even further behind in the wild card race.

Seth Smith has been thrown out at home twice in this series now.  Tool.

[Rome]

Three run smash from Chasey followed by a two run dinger from Geoffy.  6-1 Phils.
