With How Great Sanchez & Wheeler Are, Do the Phillies Need To Rely On Their Offense?

[00:00:00]Let's not act like the offense is firing on all cylinders. Now, maybe you could say bro, they don't have to. Right? They don't have to.

[00:00:09]AND I I FEEL THAT TO SOME LEVEL. LIKE I DON'T THINK this offense needs to be the number one offense in the history of the world when you have a special one-two punch and Luzardo mixed in there, too, was a nice third layer to it. The other day, I don't even know how he went as far as he did in that game. It It felt like he'd have He'd have to go four four and two-thirds, right? Four and a third.

[00:00:30]But for him to scrap and fight and to eat a couple more innings and it was good stuff. It was remarkable and a great effort out of him. If this is your one-two-three punch with your one-two being both maybe one-two in the Cy Young in the National League, that's how deadly they are, then maybe you don't need the offense to score five, six, seven runs, eight runs, and you can live with two. But the thing is, the margin forever at that point is a little gruesome because there is going to be a day, as much as I don't want to admit this, where Sanchez allows a run. Where Sanchez allows maybe three runs in five innings. There's going to be more come-down-to-earth type of thing. You can't keep this up forever. Okay, well, what if that is against the Dodgers in the NLDS, where there's a lineup that is very capable and very dynamic and now your offense needs to match what the Dodgers' offense is doing. But they could only score one run. They could only score two runs.

[00:01:24]They're still missing something. I mean, you look back and this is just the the last few games. Three nothing.

[00:01:30]Four three.

[00:01:31]Three nothing.

[00:01:32]Three one.

[00:01:34]Three nothing.

[00:01:35]One nothing.

[00:01:37]Four one.

[00:01:39]There's obviously a lot to be desired.
