This is one of the toughest recaps I’ve ever had to write. My general feeling going into this series was that the Phillies were not a great matchup for us in a 3-game series. I thought that even though the Cards’ offense was ranked among the top few offenses overall, we might struggle against the Phillies’ duo of Wheeler and Nola. I thought there was a chance we could get skunked two games to none, but if the Cards could pull of a victory in either of the first two games, we had the edge in Game 3.
