Phillips averaged 15 KO's, and 2.3 W"s during the playoffs, and opponents managed only a .128 average and slugged .194 against the lefty.
..."Just our luck to go up against a pitcher of his caliber," said joebaseball, "Hats off to him and Groom Lake..."
...In 10 previous seasons, Obaid did not start a SINGLE game!!! He had 26 QS in 32 Starts this year, and 330 KO's... One shudders to think what might have been had the previous owner(s) made him a starter earlier in his career. Although his low endurance made for no CG's during the regular season, his impact during the playoffs this year cannot be denied. WTF were the previous owners thinking?
