You start Wheels game 1 I have to find the tweet, but Wheeler is MUCH more effective with an extra day historically. EDIT: from article Wheeler is also very good when he gets an extra rest day. Per Seidman, he's "posting a 2.02 ERA in 18 starts [on extra rest this season] compared to a 3.66 ERA in 12 starts on normal rest." https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10053562-phillies-leaning-toward-starting-aaron-nola-over-zack-wheeler-in-world-series-game-1

So Nola’s home and away splits are closer. He’s got a 3.53 ERA on the road and 3 at home. It’s actually closer except that dbacks game just absolutely killed his road numbers. Meanwhile wheeler is 1.85 ERA at home and 3.84 on the road. So for wheeler he’s much better at home then on the road for the year. I’m fine doing it cause i think wheeler is locked in anyway and getting hit by the ball maybe trying to give him an extra day

Phillies 1976 101-61 1st NL East lost to CIN 1977 101-61 1st NL East lost to LA 1978 90-72 1st NL East lost to LA 1979 84-78-1 4th NL East Try living that run of crap. It was a brutal few years...... At least 1980 made up for it. That loss in '77 stung the most. I have always thought that was the best team we had in that entire run. One out away from winning in Game 3. Game 4 played in the rain. No one can convince me that the Dodgers had the better team. I agree that they were better in '78. What really ticked me off was how after we lose three straight series, the f'n Pirates go on to win the World Series the next year. Super annoying.

He's also dialed in as the ace and JV hasn't ever won a WS game from what I saw on MLB TV today.

Bowa himself said that the 77 team was the best of that era. Even better than the 80 team that won it all. If only Danny Ozark replaced Luzinski in left field like he did all season long.
October 26, 20223 yr PansyFighter has been miserable all year. Some people just like to be miserable. Sorry that the Phillies are raining on your parade by being in the World Series my friend.
October 26, 20223 yr I just hope the home crowd is absolutely relentless with the cheating stuff when the Astros come to town - they shouldn't be left off the hook. Ever.

Someone mentioned the people responsible are gone, but it should be like the NCAA where that doesn't matter. Ban them from the postseason for a decade the way they ban schools from bowl games. The fact they have been in so many WS since then is disgusting considering some of the other punishments baseball has dished out. The "integrity" of the game was so important to ban Rose for life for betting, but they didn't get much at all for stealing a WS. They need to hammer them you are right. If NY can collude to keep Cleveland out of hotels I'd love to see their Philly one get in on it and wake them up at all hours of the night.

October 27, 20223 yr Did anyone enter the Phillies World Series ticket lottery? I did not receive a notification email one way or the other regarding the tickets. My wife received a rejection notice, but nothing for me. Curious others observations.
