After that 22 run laugher in the first game of the series, I expected the Phillies to, as they usually do after big run games, stop scoring runs all together for a week or so. They struggled with runners in scoring position the next two games, but broke out last night and finished off the series win.
2009: 45-38
2008: 44-39
2007: 42-41
Player of the Series: Jayson Werth (6 for 15, 4 HR, 9 RBI)
Goat of the Series: Jamie Moyer (5 IP, 6 ER)
OK, instead of my Good News / Bad News stuff, I'm going to look at some of the interesting paces that Phillies players have set for themselves the first half of the year...
166 - Strikeouts by Joe Blanton, his previous career high is 140
35 - HR's allowed by Blanton, his previous career high is 23
1.20 - J.A. Happ's WHIP. Would be the 2nd lowest for a Phillies rookie w/ 150+ IP. The lowest is HOFer Pete Alexander in 1911.
41 - HR's by Ryan Howard, would be the lowest full-season total of his career
124 - RBI's by Ryan Ho...
