Phillies-Rockies: Who's hot, who's not

October 08, 2009|by Mike Radano

Who's hot

 

PHILLIES: Jayson Werth. In 17 postseason games with the Phillies, Werth has hit .295 (18-for-61) with five RBI, four doubles and two triples. He went 2-for-3 with a triple in Game 1.

ROCKIES: Jim Tracy. Yeah, his Rockies lost the opener, but Tracy is the front-runner for the National League Manager of the Year after the Rockies went 74-42 after he replaced Clint Hurdle on May 29.

 

Who's not

 

PHILLIES: Pedro Feliz. It is a stretch, but Feliz was the last Phillies starter to get a hit in Game 1. Fine, it's a huge stretch.

ROCKIES: Todd Helton. The Rockies first baseman hit .325 in the regular season, but went 0-for-4 against the Phillies in Game 1. Helton hit .311 against lefties this year.

 

Obscure stat

 

With his steal in the sixth inning, Chase Utley is now a perfect 24-for-24 in attempts this season. Utley is 87-for-99 in his career on steal attempts including postseason in which he is now 4-for-4 after a perfect 3-for-3 in the 2008 World Series.
