It was circumstance, NOT the bullpen, that failed the Phillies last night

Let me just say something, outright:

THIS PHILLIES BULLPEN IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE.

Great, now that that’s out of the way...

Last night was a tumultuous one. The Phillies demolished the Yankees offensively in game one, a game in which Zack Wheeler was absolutely dominant.

Sure, his first two innings were rocky, by no real fault of his own, but, after that, it was smooth sailing for the Phillies’ newly acquired righty.

In fact, were it a normal day in a normal season, Zack Wheeler likely would’ve gone the (shortened) distance in yesterday’s first of two games.
