4 away from home (theyre hitting .275 at home this season vs lefties) and the sole home game was an IL affair.
10, 4, 4, 11, 6, 8, 3 & 8 runs were their last 8 home totals vs NL lefties.
And Lilly is nobody's Cy Young wannabe.
Seriously if you dont think Lilly is a very good SP not sure I should even attempt to explain this . Ted Lilly is one of the better LHP in the NL . Not Cy Young material but not far off . He has become a very high quality SP since going to Chicago. Since his turnaround start in April vs Cincy he ahs been excellent . Again really not concerned with home totals when they havent hit LHP a lick in the past week or two. Not sure why your hyper focusing on home and away especially since SF has been terrible at home recently . At worst Ted Lilly is as good as Cliff Lee . Do you expect some sort of magic switch to turn on just because they are going home ? Granted I understand why we use splits but you cant look at 80 games or 40 games and look at those numbers as representative of current form .
Recent road trip vs LHSP
1 ,1 , 4 ,3
(Eveland , Lee , Sowers , Laffey )
Homestand before that vs LHSP
1 , 3 , 1
(Rogers , Eveland , G. Smith )
Thats 7 games since mid June vs LHSP and the 1 time they managed to crack 3 runs was vs the terrible Jeremy Sowers and he actually did well vs them by his standards . Thats 7 games and 14 TOTAL runs but they were going to hit Lilly ?
Going back to early June late May
10 runs vs Oliver Perez the most inconsistent P of the 08 season , 4 vs Wolf , 4 @ Zona vs Unit and 11 vs Doug Davis in his 2nd start after return from cancer .
So where is the indication SF would hit Lilly or any LHP?
I dont understand why trying to prove something that makes no sense . Your Over hit it was the correct play . I simply didnt expect SF to crack 2 runs unless it was a blowout late scoring type game . Cubs hung al 9 by themselves on 9 hits . It happens I was wrong about the total . Dont see how you can honestly think your going to imply SFG is hitting LHP well just because you see .275 at home. BAA doesnt equate to runs either .
Just not sure what to say....
