Zack Wheeler received 19 first-place votes in the poll of MLB.com writers. Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow was second, followed by the Chicago Cubs' Shota Imanaga and the San Diego Padres' Dylan Cease.
When a team is going as well as the Phillies have been going – and a 5-4, come-from-behind win in extra innings against the Mets in New York on Monday was the latest example of just how well – it's easy to start hunting around, looking for something that makes you want to question your own good fortune. Never mind the fact that the Phillies were without three star players in the lineup against the Mets and have been trying to win games with their depth players for several games now. Consider me gob smacked to see so much vitriol being directed in the direction of Garrett Stubbs. Yep, the backup catcher is taking the arrows of the fans who don't have their bow and quiver locked away while the team is in the midst of one of its best starts ever.
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler is one of the best in the game, but he was not on his game for Sunday's start against the Miami Marlins, giving up a season-high six runs in four innings. Wheeler explained the Marlins' approach and why he did not have success in the game. “They seemed to be more aggressive today,” Zack Wheeler said, via The Associated Press. It is good for the Phillies that Wheeler said he felt good physically.
