Sixers is incapable of looking at the bigger.picture. Dude gets crazy tunnel vision. He just assumes Sanchez is going 7 innings 0 ers everytime he pitches cuz hes doing well in the regular season. Playoffs is a completely different animal.
You're truly overthinking your response here
Obviously Wheeler is that guy and hes one of the more dominant postseason pitchers, statistically, in modern baseball history. His loss hurts their world series hopes BIG TIME. They aren't favorites so its dog mentality come October anyway.
But if any team could handle losing their ace as well as possible, the Phillies are certainly at the top of the list. You lose one Cy Young contender....yet you still have another right there. This is one of the best rotations in baseball, so its not the end all despite how much it hurts losing Wheels. The offense being consistent will still be the major X-factor.
Btw...Ranger Suarez has looked outstanding his last 2 starts. A career day in his last start. That's great to see, and he is a big time playoff pitcher too.
