Well last night broke like a five year streak of Phillies beating the Cubs when I had seen them duke it out at Wrigley. It could because Adam Eaton stinks, but I will blame it on the fact that I couldn't have my full attention on the game due to the amount of inanity I had to suffer through between pitches.
Anyways, his fielding problems last night aside, one Phillie should have just about wrapped up the NL Player of the month award. His stats and their ranking in the NL in July.
.435 BA (2nd)
6 HR (10th)
22 RBI (6th)
.567 OBP (1st by 67 points)
.768 SLG (2nd)
1.332 OPS (1st by 60 points)
In the last month, Burrell has seen his BA rise 57 points, his OBP rise 51 points, and his SLG rise 98 points. His .872 OPS for the season ranks 24th in the NL Overall and 9th amongst NL Outfielders (ahead of both Carlos Lee and Alfonso Soriano). But it will only take one 0-fer for the fans to get back on him. Yayyyyy.
Also, Adam Eaton stinks.
How bad does he stink?
His 5.87 ERA ranks him last in the NL among. Below even Kip Wells, who should not be in baseball. He ranks 43rd out of 49 NL pitchers in WHIP. After the game last night, even Jose Contreras commented that Eaton stinks on ice.
And they still have two more years with him. Nice job Pat Gillick. Way to not only set the market price for starting pitching last year but also manage to walk away with the worst free agent pitcher on the market. That's Billy King-esque.
