Here are some random Phillies Phun Phacts Phrom the Phuture of Now:
- Jimmy Rollins' batting average has increased from .294 to .314 since April 28. In that same span of time, his OBP has increased from .368 to ........ .368. Which seems very difficult to do if not for the fact that,
- Rollins has walked once in the last 24 games. If you pro-rate that over the course of the season, you are looking at a total of 7 walks.
- Wes Helms continues to do his best David Bell impression. Though he is hitting a respectable .284, his OBP is now at .318 and his SLG is at .343, almost 100 points less than his career average.
- The Phillies lead the major leagues in OBP, yet are only 11th in baseball in runs per game. A lot of this has to due with Howard's season long slump and the power twins, Burrell and Helms, having a difficult time this year mustering up more than singles.
- Cole Hamels could strike out Jesus Christ with his changeup.
- Shane Victorino probably had the greatest 4 day span of any major league baseball player from Hawaii. He went 10 for 17 (.588 BA), had a SLG of .824, got his picture taken at the Golden Gate Bridge with his imaginary friends, and stole six bases. Benny Agbayani, eat your heart out.
- Despite popular believe to the contrary, Freddy Garcia does not have the ability to move large objects with his mind.
- Rod Barajas is on pace for 92 walks. Coming into this season, Barajas had a total of 85 walks for his career.
- Rod Barajas still stinks, though.
