During that time, their pitching rotation has been worked to the bone.The Philadephia Phillies will start veteran pitcher Zack Wheeler in a must-win Game 6 in HoustonZack Wheeler walks to the dugout prior to game five of the NLCS at Citizens Bank ParkZack Wheeler will have the weight of the world on his shoulders. He will need to fight off fatigue and maintain his concentration against an efficient and powerful hitting lineup. If he struggles in game six, it appears Thomson will turn to Suarez early in the game. Aaron Nola would then be expected to pitch in game seven.robt@robt_univsteel@BNightengale @RayMoffo Topper losing the Midas touch quicker than Amazon losing value - WHEELER Saturday - if win - no brainer SUAREZ- - -Why in hell would he even think Nola- hot hand and Suarez has been that…4@BNightengale @RayMoffo Topper losing the Midas touch quicker than Amazon losing value - WHEELER Saturday - if win - no brainer SUAREZ- - -Why in hell would he even think Nola- hot hand and Suarez has been that…Hit That Jawn@HitThatJawn08@BNightengale lol yes let's keep starting Aaron Nola who is clearly gassed and has already pitched more innings than anyone else in baseball over Ranger Suarez who has been solid and seems unfazed by everything going on around him.

Come on RT be better.Fans have reason to be concerned about the Phillies pitching options. Their team has relied heavily on their offense during this deep playoff run. The pitching staff as a whole have a 3.17 ERA and have conceded 16 home runs in 16 games.Isaac@philly_isaac@zachzeaman @BNightengale let’s get to game 7 first32@zachzeaman @BNightengale let’s get to game 7 firstWith the season on the line, there is no room for error.
