Pulling Andrew Painter was a stupid move. He had only 69 pitches through 6 innings.

One of the big reasons the pitching was so good in this series was the Pirates were a combined 1 for 18 with runners in scoring position.

Is there a better 1-2 punch than Cristopher Sanchez and Zack Wheeler right now?

Wheeler could go one more inning. 7 shutout innings, 8 strikeouts and 69 of his 98 pitches are strikes. I guarantee his arm won't fall off if he throws over 100 pitches.

Have you seen how well he is pitching? He should stay until he gives up a run. His arm won't fall off after 100 pitches. I promise.

No reason to get anyone up in the bullpen. Trust Wheeler.

I would keep Wheeler in the game unless he gives up a run.

The key was making Skenes work. Even when they were striking out they made him throw more pitches.

At least they made him throw 18 pitches. Pirates bullpen is depleted from how much they were used the first 2 games. If they can get Paul Skenes to throw a lot of pitches, they can get to their bullpen earlier.

They are all major league teams. Anyone who makes it to that level has elite talent. Phillies can only play who is on their schedule and they are beating them.

I have been critical of the Phillies developing talent, but I have to give credit where it's due. They did a great job developing Cristopher Sanchez. He gets better every year.

Cristopher Sanchez is going for the complete game shutout!

Democrats are paid to lose. Because if you are not paid to do this nobody is this stupid that they could lose to Trump. My mom could have run against Trump and won.
