I understand what you are saying, but if the phills can't hit, who can? They are gonna be the best hitting team, based on runs scored, in the NL this post season. They aren't even a homerun hitting team, so you can't just say its bc of the longball.. I'm not trying to argue, I am just wondering what you base points off of? They had no bench last yr...they added a great bench along with hunter pence.. and the won't have to run into the studs in sf the yr... Just trying to see where you are coming from?
