The Phillies have allowed the second most earned runs in the league, but only the seventh most runs. Yay defense.

david eckstein is currently the best hitter in the league against curve balls.
RAUL is tops against sliders, 4th against change ups, and 3rd against cutters.
yeah, but do they have a "Split" category?

so the major leaguers who've never seen him pitch were picking up on his pitch-tipping within innings of seeing him, but no one in the minor leagues ever caught onto it
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America

via RealKen:
Ryan Howard rates higher defensively than the Yankees' Mark Teixeira, according to the plus-minus ratings on Bill James Online.
"Defensively, he's absolutely extraordinary right now," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. says of Howard. "He's literally playing a Gold Glove-caliber first base right now, in every phase."
Howard merits a plus-five, meaning that he has made five plays above the number that an average fielder would make, according to the video scouts at Baseball Info Solutions.
Teixeira rates a plus-four, along with the Braves' Casey Kotchman, Padres' Adrian Gonzalez and Rangers' Chris Davis.
The Blue Jays' Lyle Overbay and Giants' Travis Ishikawa lead all first basemen at plus-seven. The Royals' Billy Butler and Red Sox's Kevin Youkilis are plus-six.

Phils are on pace to win 98 games. No pitcher is on pace to win more than 12. Hamels, Moyer, Myers, Blanton, Condrey, and Happ all have 4 wins.
Phils have scores 126 runs at home and 176 runs on the road.
If Lidge hadn't blown the saves, Phils would have won 16 of last 17 on the road.
