I think Topper stays the course if they lose, and pitch Nola game 5, Wheeler game 6.
If they win, then you have more flex and can go Nola game 4, Wheeler game 5, and then mix and match 6 and 7 should it go there...
I wouldn't want to be down 3-1, or go back to Houston down 3-2 and not have my best guys available in elimination games...

Per Matt Gelb on Twitter...
Thomson: Ranger Suárez will start Game 3 tomorrow night. Nola in G4. Syndergaard G5. Wheeler is getting extra rest regardless.
Ok.. good idea. Still have Wheeler if you.have to go back to Houston, and a whole lot of Suarez/Nola/all hands on deck game 7 if need be...

They are clearly worried about Wheeler as they remove the option of starting him in game 5 if down 3-1Captain Obvious wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 11:35 pm Per Matt Gelb on Twitter...

Big concern for tomorrow is that the Phils have never won a game in November
Of course, they have never lost one either.....
Edit - I forgot that 2009 went into Nov

In 83 WS game 5 in Philly was on the same time when the Eagles were in Dallas
Orioles eliminated the Phils
Dallas crushed the Eagles
Hopefully this Thursday is a lot better

You could still use him out of the pen should it get hairy right out of the gate in game 5.FolesMVP09 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 11:46 pmThey are clearly worried about Wheeler as they remove the option of starting him in game 5 if down 3-1Captain Obvious wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 11:35 pm Per Matt Gelb on Twitter...

Me? I'm trying to be positive here saying we're tied, or up at this point, and go back to Houston with your best bullet in the chamber.

Who knows how it will all turn out, but this seems to be the best approach. We are dealing with far more finite pitching resources than Houston, so Thomson's just trying the best chess game he has. I also think we'll continue to see the approach of: If it's the 5th or 6th and a win is within reach, he'll go all out with multiple innings of Alvarado/Dominguez to try for the W -- tomorrow be damned.Captain Obvious wrote: ↑Mon Oct 31, 2022 11:35 pm Per Matt Gelb on Twitter...

Phils need to score at least 5 to have a shot tonight and need to score some early to take some pressure off their pitching
