Zack Wheeler is back on the mound Saturday in Houston for the first time since being pulled at 70 pitches in the World Series. 'I don't think I'll ever be over that, to be honest, just because I felt so good,' he said.
Instead of potentially riding a Wheeler gem to a decisive Game 7, the Phillies' season ended about an hour later.
"That's a tricky question. Some aspects were easier to get over than others. Some things were harder to get over than others.""I'm sure he was," Thomson said moments later."Yeah, I'm sure he was. I mean, he still had his good stuff. I just thought that that was a key moment in the game and that was a momentum swing that I thought Alvarado had a chance to strike him out.
New year, new team, new goals. The frustration of Game 6 in Houston six months ago could eventually dissipate if Wheeler and the Phillies make another deep playoff run and finish the job, but the reality is that those opportunities are few and far between. The 2016 Cubs thought they'd be back. The Dodgers have won 67 percent of their games the last four seasons and played in the World Series once.
Wheeler has pitched well his last three times out, really having just one bad inning in Chicago two starts ago. He struck out 11 in a win over the Rockies Sunday.
