Steve Phillips Ranks Playoff Teams

[SABR Gamer]

I only saw part of it, but on Mike and Mike in the Morning, he said that the Cubs had the best Starting Pitching, Bullpen, and Manager of the National League teams. I did not see him say the offense, but I'm sure he said good things, he was really praising the Cubs. He picked Cubs over Rockies in the NLCS.

Arizona has the best bullpen. But yeah, starters are the best, and manager, I guess by default. Hurdle and Manuel are bad. Offense, the Cubs are a distant 3rd behind Philly and Colorado. But the Cubs' pitching is probably as far ahead of those 2 are ahead offensively, if not more.

He said that the D-Backs had the #2 Pen, and he said that the Phillies were the worst team in every aspect of pitching, which he said usually translates to a quick first round exit.

not necessarily.

Especially not if Cole Hamels pitches 2 of the 5 games, and he can completely dominate like he did in his last start.

[hardcorecubfan]

considering many of our wins occur with scoring in the late inning it should be interesting to see what we do in the late innings against AZ

Mets across the board.....oh, wait a second...D'OH

He said we had no chance of winning the division in July, too. So take his prognostications with a grain of salt.

So take his prognostications with a grain of salt.

 

I think it is safe to say that about everyone.

I'd feel, like, way more comfortable if Phillips would have called us the worst playoff team.
