Roy Halladay isn’t necessarily done in the literal sense. He’ll very likely pitch again. But watching the sad-sack Marlins batter Halladay for nine runs in 2⅓ innings Sunday, with their one dangerous hitter on the DL no less, reinforced what we’ve all been thinking for a while: The Doc we knew is gone.

I don’t like SABR people, but they have been right all along on Halladay’s declining performance. They nailed it a year ago. Go read this on Grantland.
