2011 Philadelphia Phillies Season Thread (choking awful pos team, DIAF)

[MDS]

no he is not

but youd figure they will add one more reliable arm if lidge doesnt get back, so they have at least 4 pitchers out of the pen for the playoffs, which is about what every other team has

[SunMo]

they need to bring Stutes up and let him have a shot at the 7th inning.  Herndon is a gas can

[BigEd76]

choke being choke....now 0-8 with 8 Ks against Latos

but they shut out a team that's been shut out 5 times already, so everything's good

Didnt realize until I looked up Oswalts stats that he actually had the best WHIP in the NL last year.  I thought he gave up more baserunners than that but apparently not.

[Rome]

He has the lowest ERA of any pitcher in baseball since the trade.

But ERA is a meaningless stat according to some nerds, so...

[MDS]

wins and losses are meaningless

era is fairly indicative of ones performance, though not the be all end all

He has a walk against him too, which is amazing when you think about it. 9 at bats against the guy and has never made contact.

Agreed, though its very accurate for starters, not as much all the time for middle relief.  I think pitching stats go era->whip>k/9 ratio. 

I know some will say babip is crucial as well but since that tends to even itself out I think the above 3 are the only critical stats and era is the most important generally.

[phillymic2000]

I'd love to hear what they really think about him.

[Eagles_Legendz]

I just turned to my gf and asked her what odds she wanted on jimmy swinging first pitch after two walks.
