greg b. – i agree…typically pitcher’s mistake = hr. but in this park not the case…any well hit fly ball or high line drive is cause to genuflect

Looks like Hamels is working on a curveball… just hope he doesn’t hang one tonight.

With the current record of 36-25 (2nd best record in the NL) and a 4 game lead over the Mets, I wouldn’t fret over statistics such as Amanda’s “Pythagorean winning percentage” which is inconsequential. Charlie Manuel stated earlier to the media, that as the season progress, the law of averages will play out for the better teams (including our Phillies) and eventually the home record will be on the plus side.

IMO, they all try to yank balls out of the park at home, on the road they probably focus more on just hitting the ball hard. Short porch syndrome?

Whatever the struggles are for this team at home, they need to fix them fast. They cannot expect to just continue to roll on the road. And come October, they will NEED to win at home.

I think this is the first article by Amanda that I didn’t instantly realize was written by Amanda
