With Aaron Nola, Jose Alvarado and Seranthony Dominguez all struggling to find last year's form, Rob Thomson has some figuring to do.
For the Phillies this year, it’s Zack Wheeler and pray for a weeklong Nor’easter.There are a lot of reasons to think this Phillies team is poised for another long postseason run. Bryce Harper looks like a man who will not lose. Trea Turner is swinging one of the hottest bats on the planet. They are surrounded by a lineup of grinders and mashers that is even deeper than it was one year ago, when they ground and mashed their way to their first National League championship since 2009.
Nola still has a couple of more starts to find a groove. He’s coming off an outing that looked a lot like the ones the Phillies will need from him this postseason. Six innings, two runs, eight strikeouts, no home runs, no walks. Crank out a few more like that and maybe we’ll reevaluate our angst. All three have shown enough flashes that we’d be fools to leave any of them for dead. At this time last year, a lot of people had given up on the entire team.
Thing is, Suárez might actually bring more value elsewhere. Think back to last postseason, when he made four appearances in an 11-day stretch between Game 3 of the NLCS and Game 3 of the World Series. The Phillies raved about his rubber arm, unflappable demeanor, and willingness to adapt to the circumstances.
