Three days in October versus three days in May.

Phillies Hitters	Then	Now
R	8	33
BA	0.172	0.336
OBP	0.274	0.438
SLG	0.366	0.533
OPS	0.640	0.971
K	26	14
BB	12	18
HR	5	4

Phillies Pitchers	Then	Now
R	16	10
ERA	5.54	3.33
WHIP	1.46	1.19
BA	0.267	0.262
OBP	0.339	0.306
SLG	0.495	0.369
OPS	0.834	0.675
K	22	24

Yes, these last three days against the Rockies have been a blast. But, I doubt any fan wouldn't, in a heartbeat, swap them for those three days in October.

Hard to believe the Phillies hit five homers in that series. The only one I remembered off the top of my head was Shane’s in Game 3. All five were solo shots, I see.

OBP

Yup – when your OBP is .274, your home runs are likely not driving in many runners.

Sorry to go off topic here, but several months ago, I think during the offseason, somebody (dajafi?) posted a link to an interview with Rollins where he talked about the game that he thought was the turning point of his career – I think it was against the Mets, and he came up with the Phillies down and men on base in the ninth, and struck out on a high pitch over his head. And afterwards, he promised to himself that would never happen again. Does anyone remember around what date that was posted?
