Cheesy title? Check… Rushed post because I have to work tonight? Check.
Good news on Doc Halladay’s recent semi-slump? Check.
A poster on the Phillies’ message board asked me to do some research, and really, I don’t need an excuse to do statistical research, but here is the deal. He wanted to know what the story is with Doc Halladay and his recent non dominance. Is there cause for concern? Is he burnt out?
My answer to both of those questions is no. First and foremost, lets start here. Doc’s 2010 numbers are through the roof, even after his struggles, and even for him. The chances of a guy with a career era of 3.13 and a career best for a full season of 2.78 suddenly pitching at a 2.18 era just aren’t real good. No matter what you think of the NL, Doc lowering his era by 0.60 for a full season coming over here at his age, well that just wasn’t all that realistic.
