Daily News | Phillies after two weeks: ‘Whatever it takes’ mode already, Bryson Stott struggling and more
at Coors Field, manager Joe Girardi, who has been here since 2020 and isn’t guaranteed to stay beyond this season, took on a more urgent tone when he said the Phillies had to “do whatever it takes” to win the finale.Suggesting that Game 13 out of 162 is must-win territory is patently ridiculous. History is littered with teams that overcame poor Aprils to achieve October glory. The Atlanta Braves started 5-8 last season — heck, they were 52-55 on Aug. 1 — and won the World Series.
Besides, there’s probably enough veteran leadership in the clubhouse now — with Schwarber and Nick Castellanos joining Harper, J.T. Realmuto, and Hoskins, among the position players — to modulate anything resembling overreaction while also recognizing the importance of nipping adversity in the proverbial bud.
Girardi said the training wheels are nearly off for Aaron Nola and Kyle Gibson. Zach Eflin and Ranger Suárez may not be far behind. But so much hinges on ace Zack Wheeler. “I think he’s expanded [his zone] a little bit more,” Girardi said. “At times he’s probably been more aggressive than what he likes to be.”
