Not a fan of starting Pache - rather take my chances with Marsh
Hopefully Pache will get a big hit tonight and I'll have egg on my face, but he was dreadful in Sept
We're all happy to have egg on our face.

This got no interest in the other thread, so I'm putting it here and adding $10M. Never want this guy leaving....
==============================
I think the Phillies should approach Wheeler this winter about a big-money three-year extension for 2025, 2026, 2027.
Those would be his age 35, 36, 37 seasons. Pitchers of his caliber tend to still be strong in those years.
I don't care if it's an overpay; he's been underpaid throughout this 5-year deal, relative to value. Offer him 3/110. He's worth it.
Having him for 4 more seasons would also solidify some answers about the long-term future of this rotation. I don't know how this core continues to contend if it loses Nola this winter and Wheeler the following winter.
They can't afford to let him become a free agent and test the market.

Additionally, I feel like this offense is adrenalized and ready for an 8-run game, which would of course help.

Happy to win - Wheeler is just amazing
In the post season it is all about getting the win, they did that, so no criticisms tonight
Need Nola to step up tomorrow

Agreed - I think that we were all ok with the signing, but I don't think any of us thought he would be elite
