Official Rockies/Phillies NLDS Series(PHI Win 3-1)

[JesRey]

Well the Phillies haven't looked nearly as good as they did last year, their bullpen is a huge question but they have the SP to get it done, plus that lineup is scary.

Rockies are coming in with a 2 game losing streak but we're the hottest of the 4 NL teams coming into the playoffs. They lost De La Rosa for the series but have many 10+ game winners.

Rockies/Phillies Matchup

I wouldn't be surprised if Rockies take this in 4 or 5.

Phillies got this, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels, Pedro, JA Happ, 'nough said

Not so quick there Dan, best pitching doesn't always win

[gladdyontherise]

Actually is does..lol check the teams who win the world series the past how many years, its all because there pitching, 01 Diamondbacks, 02 Angels, 03 Marlins, 04 Red Sox, 05 White Sox, 06 Cardinals, 07 Red Sox, 08 Phillies, they all had one thing in common, they're pitching was awesome

Angels pitching wasn't amazing.... Whitesox pitching wasn't amazing.

I dont recall the 02 Angels, but the 05 White Sox were lead by Garland, Buehrle, & Contreras, Contreras and Garland had great years that season i think it was the season he won like 13 starts in a row or something like that

Wasn't that great, just a streaky year for those guys. They were nothing special other than that lol.

The Rockies have the Phillies number this year and i think it can carry on

Thats besides the point (Buehrle isnt mediocre either), I proved you wrong, every year the team with the great pitching wins it all

Well i'm guessing you make the playoffs with good pitching. I've never seen a team with horrible pitching in the playoffs lol

Rockies have pitchers with those exact or close to numbers as the Whitesox

[gladdyontherise]

No you don't you win in the playoffs with good pitching..

Show me these Rockie stats, I know Ubaldo has good stats, Cooks are decent, De La Rosa had a good stretch but over all is bad

[JesRey]

Cook 11-6 4.16 ERA
Ublado 15-12 3.47 ERA
Marquis 15-13 4.04 ERA
De La Rosa 16-9 4.38 ERA
Hammel 10-8 4.33 ERA

Five 10game winners; just imagine if they didn't start 12 games under .500 in April/May

[gladdyontherise]

They also have alittle inflated ERAs..just saying..i didnt know Marquis finished so awful, he was the first to 12 wins lol

This is true.. Too bad they don't have Lefty guys to shut down the Phillies
