Been really enjoying this turn of events, haven't really been paying much mind to the Phils since everyone knew they would suck but holy shit at how terrible they are.

The 2015 Phillies, Collectively, Are 2014 Allen Craig

Allen Craig has been in the news recently as the outfielder was demoted to Triple-A Pawtucket by the Boston Red Sox. The club ran out of patience with the 30-year-old as he had posted a paltry .430 OPS in 59 plate appearances, continuing his dreadful performance after coming over along with Joe Kelly in last year’s John Lackey trade with the St. Louis Cardinals at the deadline. In 107 PA with the Red Sox last season, Craig had a .425 OPS.

The Phillies lost 7-4 to the New York Mets yesterday, dropping their record to a league-worst 11-21 (tied with the Milwaukee Brewers) and their run differential to -60. It’s the worst run differential in baseball by far. The Colorado Rockies are in second place at -47 and the Brewers rank third at -46.

I was looking up the Phillies’ team offensive stats and found this depressing comparison:

Bill Baer – ‏@Baer_Bill

Phillies' entire team, 2015: .227/.282/.329, .102 ISO, 6.6 BB%, 19.2 K%

Allen Craig, 2014: .215/.279/.315, .100 ISO, 6.9 BB%, 22.4 K%
12:33 AM - 11 May 2015


Craig hit so poorly between last year and this year that the Red Sox demoted him and his five-year, $31 million contract (two years and $21 million of which remains after the 2015 season) to the minor leagues. The Phillies, collectively, have barely out-performed him.

Here are your culprits, going by adjusted weighted runs created (wRC+) from FanGraphs:

Only two hitters rank above average: the unsustainably productive Freddy Galvis and Ryan Howard, who is hitting .232 with a sub-.300 on-base percentage. If there’s a bright spot, Howard’s early power resurgence (.495 slugging percentage, .263 ISO) may make a trade more likely than we thought before the season.

And the big news is that there may be a trade market for AARON HARANG.

Typing those words hurt. I'm pretending baseball is on strike this season.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

I still get a kick out of Howard socking the ball but he don't sock it as often as he used to.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

who cares?
