Considering we have the Braves(twice), Mets, Giants, and Dodgers this month, it certainly can get worse.

We'll be saved when our 1.5 WAR first baseman comes back!

I was thinking more "Fly ball to right center, Pence underneath it, OH WHAT THE FUCK SHANE, HUNTER WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING COME ON"

But that works too.

Phun Phillies Pen Phacts:

We are 28th in the MLB in WPA at -3.08
28th in ERA at 4.57
24th in WAR at 0.5
25th in HR/FB (with lowest percentage being 1st) at 12.5%
25th in FIP at 4.04
5th largest difference in MLB of ERA-FIP (+0.53)
26th in LOB% at 69.8%
13th in xFIP at 3.86
10th in SIERA at 3.45

So it looks like we have the chance for some possible regression, but have been excellent at giving up key game-clinching hits and HRs so far, and that damage can't be undone

If we don't get Scorpion'ed by the Barves and Mets here in the next two series and show some life after the ASB I'd like to see us get K Rod. If we can afford to pay him, the prospect cost shouldn't be significant. Brewers wouldn't be offering arb again

We have to outpace our 102 win season last year from here on out to win 88 games. Shit.

But we only have to equal the pace (more or less) of up to when they clinched to win 88.

On improving the bullpen, he said. “I’m not going to discuss [those efforts] publicly. It is an issue. But we’re losing games in all phases. It’s on all of us. Me. Everybody. We win as team and we lose as a team. We don’t lay blame. We just have to figure out a way to get better.”
-Amaro

I think that's the way we should all be thinking right now.

This has the makings of a new rallying cry for 2012. "Clenched for 88"
