1st, Sanchez has pitched like a #1 this season. Just have to hope he keeps it up.I know we’re in full party mode right now but in what world does a team win the WS after losing their #1 in August? a bummer for sho. Me I’m going to enjoy the party as long as they’re serving.
Who do they play round 1 if LA gets 2?1st, Sanchez has pitched like a #1 this season. Just have to hope he keeps it up.
2nd, Hamels, Blanton, Meyers, Moyer, and Kendrick won the Phils a WS in 2008. Phillies pitching overall ranked 6th in ERA that year and 15th in FIP (more telling than ERA).
And since everyone likes to b!tch about how bad the current Phil line up is, the 2008 team was 9th in runs scored, 16th in OBP and 6th in slugging. Not a whole lot different than now.
Like I keep saying, winning a WS is all about getting in the playoffs and getting hot at the right time. Oddsmakers currently have the Phillies with about third best chance to win it all (DK actually shows 2nd), with an implied probability of about 11-13%. Dodgers are 1st at ~25%.

Imagine the #3 playoff pitcher Phillies roll out there and insert wheeler, +add a start or 2 cause he’s a 1, then convince me we won’t miss him.1st, Sanchez has pitched like a #1 this season. Just have to hope he keeps it up.

Didn't say they won't miss Wheeler. I said that they can still win it without him.Imagine the #3 playoff pitcher Phillies roll out there and insert wheeler, +add a start or 2 cause he’s a 1, then convince me we won’t miss him.
A team with two legit number ones this year and two other legit number 2-3’s and that does not include Nola, can certainly win it all.
AI: because the Brewers have played 19 games in 18 days. Yesterday was supposed to be an off day for Milwaukee, so that the first game of the series would have been tonight, but the Brewers front office wanted a Labor Day crowd.Why are the Phillies and Brewers not playing each other tonight if they played each other yesterday and will play each other tomorrow?
If that's the case, there's no way the Phils should have played a Sunday night game. I guess the Brewers are admitting they can't fill their ball park featuring the 2 best records in baseball.AI: because the Brewers have played 19 games in 18 days.
