maybe its hyperbole to say he got rocked but variance will catch up to him as you have already seen.
I thought Romano was your closer, who the fuck is going to get outs when your starter is done in the postseason?

Kerkering
Straham
Banks is alright at times

And Walker for long relief

After that idk. Pen was a strength last season with multiple all-stars (Straham one of them), now its shaky.

Losing Alverado for the playoffs hurts big time though.

Phillies haven't scored a run with Ranger on the mound in 16 innings and counting 🤦‍♂️

Phillies win 2-1 and take the series vs the Braves.

Another GREAT outing for Suarez 🔥🔥🔥

7.0 IP
1 ER
8 K's
1 BB

ERA down to 2.00 on the season. He has been insane. Didn't even have his best fastball today and still dominated aside from one solo HR in the second.

Followed right on point by Kerkering and Strahm to close the game out.

Edit: Suarez 11 starts on the season. Aside from his first start of the season he has a 1.19 ERA over the other 10 starts.

trade for 2-3 relievers and then i feel confident betting this team everyday

3? God damn

1 or 2 reliable arms is all they need already have Kerk and Strahm as well as Walker and Banks for mid/long relief.

1 great arm that can close would be perfect.

Wheeler is fucking ROLLING

Last night 8.0 IP, 10 K, 0 BB, 0 ER

His month of June (5 starts) was insane:

31.0 IP
2 ER (0.58 ERA)
42 K's
7 BB

The Phillies have the best ERA for a starting staff in the NL. The three headed monster of Wheeler/Suarez/Sanchez is beautiful. Mix in Luzardo and Abel, and then if we get Nola back healthy? 😬

Yet you went 14-13

Bullpen is a disaster

Abel got rolled

His hot start is no more. ERA is 5+ now rofl
