Are they the best pitching combo in Phillies history? Better than Cole Hamels and Roy Halladay? Robin Roberts and Curt Simmons? We'll know better by the end of Wednesday night.
Aaron Nola starts Game 3 of the NL Division Series in Philadelphia on Wednesday. Zack Wheeler starts Game 2 in Atlanta on Monday.ATLANTA — It’s important to acknowledge greatness in its moment. It’s fulfilling to recognize history as it’s being made.
They’ve pitched great in their 13 combined playoff starts over the past two seasons. In the past few weeks, they’re pitching better than they’ve ever pitched. Cole Hamels and Roy Halladay put together a fierce run in 2010 and 2011, when they combined to give up 12 runs in 59 playoff innings, a 1.83 ERA. But they started just eight games and they never reached the World Series.By some advanced metrics that attempt to include base running, ballparks, and even eras of competition, these Braves, with due respect to Messrs. Ruth and Gehrig, represent the most potent offense in baseball history.
After an off day Sunday, and with an off day Tuesday, those relievers will be just as well-rested and even more eager for Wheeler’s and Nola’s starts.Their 3.12 ERA in 13 playoff starts is very good; superb, really, if you grade on the curve of aggregate fatigue and opposition potency. But again, these are the Braves.
