So if Hamels doesn't pitch well this series the Phillies appear pretty much boned.

I'm tempted to say that the Dodgers are the better team
but their fielding kinda blows.

I think it's somewhere in the vicinity of average
but Philly’s is really really good.

If you're going to pick a position to have a bad defensive player, first base would be my first choice though

For the most part, yes
but it’s not like Burrell has a shit ton of real estate to cover.

Indeed it is
but the infield is strong and that should work to their favor tonight.

I love how FOX only schedules this game to run to 8
despite the 5:22 start time.
It’s long past due to cut the bullshit.

Phillies have an offense though.
A really, really good one.

With Furcal and Manny in the fold
I can’t think that the Dodgers are too far behind them.

Okay, 7th in the NL
really really good overstates the case. Still, good.

I meant placing 7th in wOBA
vs. and 103 OPS+, both read as slightly above league average.

So Ryan Howard was something like the fifth best player on his own team this season.
MVP!

You idiot he had the most RBIs while people were paying attention.

Let's see
Utley, Rollins, Hammel, maybe we’re including Lidge too.

I do, but you butchered that name with the name of a hilariousluy bad Rays player.

South kitsap might as well give up on creating athletes, then.

Werth was better. Burrell was better.
And Victorino was close enough that the position adjustment made him better.

Depends on how you adjust for defense
but not Werth, Werth didn’t play enough.

Fair enough. I'm just using a quick glance at BRAA and wOBA.
He has a higher BRAA than Howard, but yes, hundreds fewer plate appearances.

Regardless,
anyone who doesn’t vote for Pujols should be killed.

Berkman might have been more valuable.
So I’d give a pass there.

I agree.
I’m just saying that I could buy someone voting for Berkman under the criteria that his WPA was higher.

I still refuse to use clutchness
unless it is to break a tie between to equal candidates.

shrug
I could buy the argument that not enough is known about defense to say for certain that Berkman was more valuable. I don’t support it, but I’m not going to throw a hissy fit if someone used it.

I don't even remember what the hypothetical was.
Five years from now, it’s going to merge in with the Sherill and Lillibridge thing.

This is offensive
Why make the Phillies fucking broadcaster have to degrade to throwing out stupid cliches while reading the starting lineups?
He should be doing the god damn play-by-play, not being forced to read an idiotic script
