The defensive capabilities of this team make hitting paramount. No team is going to win games going .187 /.277 /.318 at the plate (Phillies production since August 10), especially this one.
I agree, it's got to add weight to a pitcher's shoulders.
Nothing better than a strike them out throw them out double play.
