Strongest Performances-Cole Hamels, Matt Garza, B.J. Upton
Hamels went 2-0 with a 1.93 series ERA. At only 24, he is already turning into one of the best pitchers in baseball and with him as a #1 he will give the Phillies a great chance to steal game 1 in Tampa.
Matt Garza 2-0 1.38 series ERA. His Game 7 performance was clutch as he outdueled Jon Lester giving up just 1 run on 2 hits to get Tampa into their 1st World Series. Overall, Tampa has a solid rotation and pitchers such as Garza can make the difference for them.
B.J. Upton 4 hr's 10 rbi. Overall for the postseason he has hit 7 hr's and has been one of the main run producers for Tampa throughout the playoffs.
Weakest Performance-Chad Billingsley
He was 0-2 with a 18.00 ERA and didn't even last 3 innings in either one of his starts. And after getting lit up in Game 2 for 7 earned runs he blamed Russell Martin for the pitch selection. Take responsibility for how poorly you pitched. Don't blame it on your catcher.
