Mac Attack: Pre/Reviewing The Philadelphia Phillies Rotation

And I cant see the Hand no,
That pulls me to my knees,
But when I meet my shadow I see gravity,
—Embassy, Gravity

Another edition of the Mac Attack here, reviewing the Phillies starting rotation.

Gravity seems to love the Philadelphia Phillies rotation, by keeping the ball in the ballpark for the most part.

The Phillies franchise has never really been blessed with Hall of Fame-caliber pitching, outside of select few: Alexander, Carlton, Bunning and I dare say, Schilling.

The 2008 Philadelphia Phillies starting rotation had its bumps and bruises.

Forget Adam Eaton.

Kyle Kendrick shelled out of the rotation, replaced by lefty prospect, J.A. Happ.

The bright spots all so included Cole Hamels' 14 wins and postseason MVP performance, Jamie Moyer's god-like Cy Young caliber performance at 16-7, Joe Blanton's 4-0, and playoff performance and Kyle Kendrick's 11 wins.

So, reviewing the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies Starting Rotation:

Cole Hamels

Record: 14-10

2008 Postseason Record: 4-0, 1.80 E.R.A., 30 SO, 9 BB, and 35.0 IP

E.R.A. of 3.09

196 SO, 53 BB, a career high 227.1 IP
