It would be really nice to dial up one of those 5 HR 11 run explosions from the Phillies bats, like game 4 of the 2008 WS. According to Matt Gelb on twitter they just want him to go once through the order and that is it

He’s not going to disclose something minor like that. (Not in the middle of a game interview) But Larry Andersen typically is spot on with this stuff. He knows Phillies’ pitchers tendencies, tells, habits, etc. He said it may have happened in the 2nd inning because he kept digging the mound after that (something Suarez doesn’t do normally)
October 22, 20223 yr The bullpen was 3 total pitchers throwing 4 total innings after a day off. They have Thor for 2-4 innings tomorrow if needed.

He was really good in his last start. His ERA is 3.00 in 8 starts since August. That's 9 runs total in 7 of those starts and one 6 run shellacking from Atlanta.
October 22, 20223 yr Really feels like tomorrow is going to be whoever gets to 7 runs wins the game. If the Phillies win it means you got wheeler and then nola to potentially get to the World Series. If it’s the padres got a huge game 5 followed by nola vs. snell
October 22, 20223 yr It was nice to wake up to a win! I couldn't stay up last night I had a long work day, and I'll probably miss the next 2 games also

I don't get that logic when the bullpen is on fumes for this game. Let the guy keep going if he's having a decent game. Couple things touched on by the post game. He hasn’t really pitched since the nationals series at the end of September. He pitched an inning against houston the last day of the season on October 5th but that’s the last time. So he really hasn’t built up his stamina in a while to go very deep into a game. also the analytics point to the second time through the order falter tends to have more issues. Lastly they are gonna piggy back syndergaard. I’m guessing he goes one time through the order. Ideally you get through 5+ with both giving up minimal runs. i have a feeling we see the Phillies put up a bunch of runs tomorrow. I just have a hunch it’s going to be similar to game 4 WS in 08 where they had joe Blanton pitching and they went off. I’m not sure if the Phillies pitchers keep the padres off the board but i just have a feeling the Phillies are gonna score runs later today.

The roster is flawed. Harper was out for most of the year. The annual September swoon was in full bloom. And yet, they won yesterday and are two games away from the WS. Yesterday's moves were brilliant. I ride with Philly Rob.

That's 9 runs total in 7 of those starts and one 6 run shellacking from Atlanta. He will most likely only go through the line up one time regardless of how he looks. Whether we agree with him or not, Thompson is big on not exposing pitchers too much. It is why he took ranger out when he did.
October 22, 20223 yr Clevinger has a 5.5 ERA on the road. Phillies are set up really well to take advantage assuming Falter/bullpen doesn’t implode

Yes, I loved the moves yesterday as well. However, if the bullpen ends up being the key in 3 losses over the next 4 those moves yesterday will be questioned. Not by me though.
