Pat Gillick was not kidding when he said the Philadelphia Phillies had room for improvement.
6-12 overall, 2-8 at home. Their ace, Jon Leiber, is 0-4. Could things get any worse?
The fans have already had enough, as shows in the attendance, which is down from last year.
Philadelphia lost to the Marlins, the worste team in the NL tonight.
Let's take a look at the offense - Four starters are hitting over .300, with three more hitting at least .259. But as a team, they have the sixth worste average in the leage at a .257 clip. They also have the fifth lowest run total.
Don't even get me started on how they do with runners in scoring position - .202 average, .29 points below the next worste, Oakland A's.
But the pitching stinks. With a team ERA of 5.78, they are the fourth worste.
Gillick said the Phillies were a player or two away from being a playoff team. May be more than that Mr. Gillick.
