Hamels is better vs righties than lefties. Maybe in the next game they should play Counsell at 3B instead of Hall.

 

I always feel like this is a bad stat when they compare the BAA for a pitcher. The reason lefties hit Hamels better than righties is that only the best of the best lefties even get to play against him. I still start the right handed bat over the left handed bat against him.

They just mentioned the wiff rate for Hamels as being better than 50% (the amount of times a hitter swings and misses). Anyone have the wiff rate for Brewers hitters this year? I would have to assume it's the worst in the NL.

Probably some truth in that but heavy change up lefties almost always do well against righties.

So far (at 3-0), it's not the Phillies doing something to win the game, but the Brewers doing everything to lose the game. Erase the defensive errors, and this is a 0-0 game. This is what frustrates me about the Brewers - It's continually not the other team doing things to win, but the Brewers actively doing things to lose.
