Matt Bass thinks I shouldn't be concentrating on Jim Thome's HR numbers, He writes:

I think focusing on Thome misses the bigger picture.

The Phillies as a team have only hit 11 homers, and the Phillies as a pitching staff have only given up 14 homers. That 25 HR+HR allowed is lowest in the majors.

Last year, the Phils were T-14 in HRs and 10th in HR allowed. This year its 29 and T-3.

If I had to guess, I'd say that a combination of cold weather, pitchers parks, the wind blowing in, and luck is suppressing home runs in all Phillies games for all players on both teams.

This should not be seen as just a Thome problem (his 2 homers ties for the team lead!), and it may not actually be a "problem" at all.
