No offense to Jeff, but BA doesn't mean what it used to. Give me OBP (or better WOBA), slugging, or OPS.

Kyle’s on pace for 57 right now. He has a real chance at Howard’s record.

 

[WestSideLion]

Wow. Nola with a whopper number in 2018.

 

[WestSideLion]

The Phillies offense has been sick this month.

Would really suck to lose Wheeler. That said, the Phillies won a world series with a rotation of Hamels, Blanton, Myers, Moyer, Kendrick and failed to win one with Halladay, Hamels, Lee, and Oswalt. As Cliff Lee said, that's baseball.

 

[NittPicker]

Mets lose and the Phils are 7 games up. NYM are flirting with dropping out of the final wild card spot. That’d be a shame.

It’s amazing how much love Atlanta gets every year only to underperform. It’s too bad.

 

[psuvinnieb121]

Haha f the Mets.

 

[FannyPackHero]

Haha f the Mets.

As much as I dislike the Mutts, this season has been more satisfying to watch the Barves stumble throughout the entire year. Nothing quite like having them mired in mediocrity.

Good, it's an experience that plays well on TV and will provide greater exposure to the team on national media.

I tried to attach a fun "Fair" gif but it wouldn't allow me

Abreu was a fantastic player during his Phillies days. I think the fact that he played in an era with so many great OF disguises how good he was. Those numbers certainly warrant consideration for the MLB All Decade team for the 2000s. There were just so many perennial star OFs with better name recognition.

Wasn’t he considered to be a bit lazy in the OF? I seem to remember the conversation being that he would have been a perfect DH because his fielding left a lot to be desired.

It does certainly play well on TV, but I think the Phillies get plenty of national exposure and the baseball world is well aware of them.

Why Bobby Abreu has Hall of Fame credentials

It's not difficult to make the case against Bobby Abreu for the Baseball Hall of Fame. Just a cursory look at his Baseball-Reference page provides you with all the evidence you need. Only two All-Star selections. One Silver Slugger Award. No top-10 finishes in MVP voting. Very little bold type.

These are one of those runs this team goes on where different people contribute every night and it looks so perfect and easy. Then it makes you wonder, how can it ever not be like this?

 

[NittPicker]

Thank you JT. Watching Ogasawara strike out Schwarber and Harper with junkass breaking balls was killing me.

 

[rudedude]

Well Spider-Man blew the save tonight and JT gives the Nats the lead on a bad throw to third.

 

[WestSideLion]

Tough way to lose after the gritty comeback. Oh well.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Ugh. Duran gives up 2 runs in the top of the 9th, and the Fightins lose, 5-4.

 

[Relayer]

My fear with the Phils is they will get the 3 seed, have to play the Mets in the wild card round and then play the Dodgers in the division series, just to reach the NLCS. They need to get that 2nd seed.

 

[LB99]

Ugh. Duran gives up 2 runs in the top of the 9th, and the Fightins lose, 5-4.

He actually gave up 1. JT gave up the other.

Fixed, for myself.

 

[nittanymoops]

Wheeler will have second surgery, out 6-8 months. Some of you may now panic.

As long as the pitching is at least ok, the Phils will go as far as the bats will take them.
