Pitch worse for a long, long time I guess.

And yeah, Halliday is having a kind of rough patch. I have a hunch that he’ll noodle something out. Would not have been as hard a start without the misplays, of course, but still.

He could probably do less damage there. Better yet, someone else’s bullpen would be fantastic.

In three of the six games they’ve won on this six-game streak they haven’t gotten a good start.

Pence also has yet to strike out a single batter. It’s just embarrassing.

I would guess they don’t win more than 101, but I think it could be close. In 1977 they were 40 games over .500 at one point — it will be interesting to see if they can top that, too. Again, I would guess no given that they’re so far ahead of the division.

I’m a little worried about Halladay this year, but even when he is awful he keeps the team in the game. When Lee is awful, the team gets crushed.

Pence still making outs in 2/3 of his plate appearances. Totally disappointing.

Also, should we be worried that Halladay’s having more than one awful start?
