Really bummed for wheeler. Obviously hurts the Phils chances but I’m still seeing them with the 3rd best odds to win the WS at several different books. Gotta hope Nola can get it back and the bats keep rolling.

Have these oddsmakers already factored in Wheeler’s absence?

Tough to lose your ace, no matter how talented the team is. Having a surplus of starting pitching likely will enable the Fightins to deal with this better than many other teams might be able to. But it does make things somewhat more difficult for the balance of the regular season and even more in the playoffs.

So far Robertson has been a very pleasant surprise. With no expectations, he could be a big factor down the stretch. Anything that keeps Romano off the field.

Right. It’s not a neurological TOS diagnosis which would have a worse recovery prognosis.

To those suggesting that Wheeler doesn’t intend to return to pitching, why would he have the surgery now if that were the case?

More steaming crap from the bullpen with Alvarado. Poor Ranger pitches his bitt off and gets pulled for this.

Just for sh^ts and giggles for all the Phillies fans. I saw a stat today on Spencer Stridor. In the month of August he is 0-3 with an ERA of over 15. 😳

That's a shame, hate to see the Braves 17 games back of 1st in the East. No Chopping this year.

Other than Duran this bullpen inspires very little confidence. Rarely have clean innings. Seems like someone is always giving up a HR in a close game.

Exactly. Even the guys who are normally reliable step up to implode when the unreliable guys pitch well. "Culture" is a loaded term in sports, but I wonder whether there's an acceptance at the club that the bullpen is mediocre?

They need to be a lot better with Wheeler done for the year. The entire team is going to need to step up to replace that lost production.
