One-third of the season is complete for the 2012 Philadelphia Phillies. They are 28-26, which translates to a full season of 84-78. 84-78 will not get them into the postseason, and frankly, would be quite a disappointing season.
Here’s where the Phils were at the one-third mark the past few seasons and their record the rest of the way:
2007: 26-28 (.482) and 63-45 (.583)
2008: 30-24 (.556) and 62-46 (.574)
2009: 32-22 (.593) and 61-47 (.565)
2010: 30-24 (.556) and 67-41 (.620)
2011: 34-20 (.630) and 68-40 (.630)
2009 was the only season where they didn’t improve, but a 61-47 mark for this season’s team would put them at 89-73, which should be good enough for the postseason this year. The question is, do the Phillies have the horses to get it done? If Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Roy Halladay return to some sort of form of their former selves, no other team will be able to say they have added that kind of firepower at the trade deadline.
As for the rest of the roster, let’s see how their numbers are projecting over an entire season.
