Come on
The two toughest outs in this lineup are Polanco and Ruiz.
So sayeth the Giants’ announcers. But we know better.
Carlos Ruiz’s 2010 OBP: .400. That’s really good. He actually is the toughest out in the Phillies’ lineup!
But Placido Polanco? .339. The following gentlemen are all tougher outs than Placido Polanco:
Jayson Werth (.388)
Chase Utley (.387)
Ryan Howard (.353)
Raul Ibanez (.347)
Good work, announcers! Placido Polanco is the sixth-toughest out in the Phillies lineup. Only Victorino and Rollins are easier to get out.
So maybe they just meant "in the NLCS?"
Placido Polanco: .350
Jayson Werth: .400
Ryan Howard: .400
Carlos Ruiz: .386
And just for fun:
Roy Halladay: .333
Roy Oswalt: .333
So I guess maybe you can just say whatever you want and not worry about checking your facts.
