While yes, I’m nervous about tonight I also have a ton of confidence.
A couple reasons why:
1. It’s Ranger.
Don’t think the moment will phase him. Hope Thomson trusts him in key moments.
2. While Pfaadt certainly has a big game feel to him a rookie starting a Game 7 on the road at CBP is a BIG ask.
Their plan last night was pitch around Schwarber and Harper and make everyone else beat them, don’t think he can execute that same gameplan.
3. Bullpen is fully rested and there’s the looming possibility of Wheeler coming out of the pen.
4. They got punched in the mouth last night. Last couple of times they’ve gotten punched they’ve responded really well. I expect the same tonight.
Go Phils.
