Daily News | Phillies playoffs: How I was wrong about this team — and you probably were, too
Before the 2022 season, when looking at the Phillies, the calculus was simple. They share a division with a Mets club that overspent and a Braves club defending its World Series title, so a number of things obviously had to go right for the Phillies to reach the postseason in 2022. They simply had to.
Every one of Schwarber’s homers seemed huge — probably because they accounted for almost 37% of his 126 hits. That pushed him to seventh in the NL with a .506 slugging percentage. He essentially won the clincher Monday in Houston single-handedly, with two home runs. Aaron Nola pitched more than six perfect innings and shut out the best team in baseball for 6⅔, but even perfect outings need run support.
But Thor brought thunder, if diminished: 5-2 in 10 games, with a 4.12 ERA. More to the point, the former Mets star contributed four starts of at least six innings with three earned runs or fewer, not including 5⅔ shutout innings in a win Saturday in Washington. He also dealt two shutout innings in relief in a win over the Blue Jays on Sept. 21.As autumn nears, Aaron Nola falls to earth like the leaves from the trees.
