Phillies Board / Re: Phils are beating the worst teams in the game
« Last post by 4for4 on Today at 11:32:06 am »Atlanta has also been really attacked with the IL stints by their SP's and other players too. The Phils have who on the shelf that is an impact player? And it's not like the Braves doesn't have the best offense in the NL by far, or even in all of baseball, either. The Braves have a .290 BA as a team but their problem has been with their health on the mound. They are 21st in baseball in pitching ERA and they are number 11 in the NL.
Just goes to show that good pitching will keep you in the games but you still need a good offense to win. While the Braves BA as a team is .290, the Phils BA is .237 despite being number 2 in the NL in ERA.
I know how good Atlanta is. My point was even with how good they are, they still lost games to the White Sox & Marlins. And I had already pointed out to you that Atlanta's opponents had a much worse record so far this season compared to the Phillies' opponents.
The best teams are going to lose 60 games or so. The worst teams are going to win 60 games or so. Sometimes the worst beats the best. That's baseball. If the Phillies lose a game to the White Sox this weekend, it's not the end of the world. Just like beating them isn't a guarantee of a parade on Broad St.
