When people started raving about how awesome the Faillies offense was going to be this year, I pointed out that they were ranked last in defense going into the season, and that was going to matter.
Here's the rankings so far for defensive runs saved:
Braves 2nd, Faillies 29th.
And so it goes.

Harper about to hit DEFCON 4. He had a big 1-7 day today. He has hit one HR in his last 10 games and has K'd in 17 of his 43 AB's this year, so yeah!

Giants are first (26 DRS) and second to last in their division, and Mariners are last (-26) and in first in their division. It'd be nice if this stat really hurt the team because everyone in our division is in the negative besides us.
I thought that +/- in run differential was a good indicator last season for how the Phillies would turn out.

Funny looking these stats on Fangraphs, the Def metric has Giants highest at 12.7 and Mariners lowest at -19.9.
Ok the offensive story, Fangraphs has Giants Off at -34.9, the 2nd worst. The best in that stat Mariners 43.1.
So where does Phillies stand in Def, third at 7.3, just behind the Braves in second at 7.5. All those lack of DRS and Phils are third.
Our Off is very close to 9. Braves 8.8 and 11. Phillies 7.0.
Braves and Phillies pitching is very close too in WAR 24. Phillies 0.3 and 25. Braves 0.2. Their xFIP is a little better than us (we're both pretty badd) but we have yet to play Folty and I think Soroka and Touki could play huge for us. We still need relief pitching or none of this will matter. I have hope for Clouse, Burrows, and Webb (who was called up right?) this season.
News on Kimbrel may look good for Braves. Still expensive, just less risky.

For the record, Jason Heyward and Dansby both have the same number of home runs this year as G.O.A.T. |

Ok now we're in mid June and I've taken a look at this again. bit.ly/2KQ9bCh1. Dodgers DRS 84, 1st in NL west 2. Astros DRS 55, 1st in AL west 3. Diamondbacks DRS 50, 3rd in NL west 4. Twins DRS 43, 1st in AL central 5. Rays DRS 43, 1st in AL east 6. Reds DRS 36, Last in NL central 7. Giants DRS 32, Last in NL west 9. Brewers DRS 27, 1st in NL central 13. Cubs DRS 15 DRS, 2nd in NL central (1 out) 14. Braves DRS 13 DRS, 1st in NL east 19. Phillies DRS -6, 2nd in NL east (2.5 out) 20. Yankees DRS -7, 2nd in AL east (0.5 out) 25. Tigers DRS -19, 4th in AL central 26. Rangers DRS -32, 2nd in AL west (9.5 out, 5 over .500) 27. Nationals DRS -34, 4th NL east 28. Orioles DRS -36, Last in AL east 29. Mets DRS -53, 3rd in NL east 30. Mariners DRS -64, Last in AL west www.teamrankings.com/mlb/stat/run-differential1. Minnesota +117.0 2. LA Dodgers +111.0 3. Houston +109.0 4. Tampa Bay +98.0 6. Chi Cubs +61.0 7. NY Yankees +61.0 10. Cincinnati +31.0 11. Atlanta +26.0 12. Philadelphia +19.0 15. Milwaukee +11.0 18. Washington -2.0 20. NY Mets -19.0 23. Seattle -62.0 I don't see the Braves DRS improving at a higher rate, but I do see our run differential possibly going higher at a good rate. With the right pitching acquisitions and trial and error we should be in a good spot to excel. Seeing that Phillies outfield I feel they'll drop a decent bit in DRS, but they too will probably get better at pitching. I gotta say I like our chances, and it's pretty fun just looking at numbers whatever this whole mess means. It appears a good defense definitely helps where a team's run differential a lot of teams on top of DRS are right there at run differential. It appears reds defense has helped their run differential despite them being in last place. Also look at the small sample size of the 1st place Mariners early in the season and now look at where they're at, last place. DRS seems to be significant part of the equation perhaps? 15-30%? |

Phillies will fall massively with Bruce. He won us the game last night with terrible angles and speed.
