Phillies have a few problems this year. They can not hit as they used to do in the past, which has shown on the games scores the entire year. as I compared 2010 to 2011 numbers I noticed that in 2010 the Phillies averaged 4.76 RBI per game and 1.02 HR per game, so far in 2011 their average dropped to 4.04 RBI per game and .78 HR per game.
On the other hand their pitching has gotten better. The team with its 4 Aceses have done a great job in winning games. In comparison between 2010 and 2011 numbers I noticed that Earned Run Average for 2010 is 3.66 and about 3.95 Runs per game. while so far in 2011 the Earned Run Average is 3.15 and about 3.40 runs per game.
From what i have noticed the batting averages have dropped while the pitching averages has gotten considerably better. The pitching has gotten better because the team have 4 Aces Halladay, Lee, Oswalt, and Hamels. What I wonder is why has the batting goten\worse?. Are the players relying too much on pitching to win the game for them or are they getting too old?
