The Disturbing Trend Continues

Not much else today, but here are some statistics:

Opposing home runs, MLB:
T1. Jamie Moyer, PHI – 10
T1. Brett Myers, PHI – 10
3. Jon Lester, BOS – 9
T4. Joe Blanton, PHI – 8

After Saturday, Joe Blanton’s ERA (6.82) is third worst in baseball. Jamie Moyer is in first (among those qualifying). Though they lowered the ERA slightly, the Phillies still carry one of the worst team numbers in baseball (5.22). With just nine quality starts, the Phillies are way back in last place in that category, with the Brewers doubling that number. The 53 home runs they’ve allowed are way back in last, despite playing the fewest games in baseball.

At this point, it’s only suitable to say this is all disturbing.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
