[MLB] Zack Wheeler sets Phillies franchise record with 7 straight strikeouts to start a game!
Pretty good for a non All-Star pitcher
Pitchers have won the Cy young without being named all star
The Phillies’ last 2 MVPs were not all stars in the years they won
Wheeler has been a Cy Young pitcher without winning the Cy Young
Corey Kluber pulled this off in 2014
The all star selections were horrible this year. Even some of the pitching ones.
That was definitely an interesting choice for him to decline the invite
Wheelering and dealering.
When you break one of Brandon Duckworth’s records you know it’s special
I’d imagine the way brewers fans are feeling right now is comparable to how we felt as misiorowski thoroughly dismantled us that one game early in the season
As someone who attended that game, it helps the pain of those memories a little bit.
Can confirm
Nope, the Brewers did not care about this game at all. They didn’t put out their best lineup, they didn’t pitch any of their good pitchers. Sadly they didn’t even try to win the game late when it was tied which was frustrating. This was game they did it care about from pitch 1
Hitters hate this one trick
Not being on the rubber?
I hope the Phillies never have a bad enough season to where I spend weeks/months being upset about a pitcher in the AL standing slightly to the left of where most pitchers stand
Cope harder

Still crying over nothing. Like he said, y’all must not have much to cheer for this season
Stay mad about this.
It makes you look really cool
I’m happy the Blue Jays had a dog shit season
lol you made them mad with this
Ha ha yeah. Best part is, it didn’t even matter. Jays won that game and the series
Phillies get their pitching on a roll starting with Wheeler and they definitely can make a deep run in October
Luzardo will be the big question mark. We can maybe get past the WC riding Sanchez and Wheeler, but if Luzardo doesn’t come back for the longer series it’ll be a tall task, unless our offense massively catches fire
That’s sad. Luzardo was arguably the best of the three after Sanchez started to struggle.
For real. Dude was fire just before the injury.
Yeah he’s been incredible the back half of the season
Don’t tell our subreddit that, they don’t wanna hear hope lol
If our hitting doesn’t show up, it doesn’t matter how good the pitching is. We’ve seen it recently in the postseason
I agree w all that, I witnessed it same as you. I just try not to predict the future before it hatches, or I’ll disappoint myself preemptively 😂
Dude is looking like prime Zack Wheeler
As noted on the broadcast (and above), the previous record was held by Brandon Duckworth. I remember being 11 and super-excited about Duckworth and Nelson Figueroa in the Phils rotation. Ah, the idiocy innocence of youth
Prime Wheeler was already this good, people just weren’t watching Philly close enough back then.
Absolute legend that Wheels is
Did Aaron Nola not have the record? I thought he had the MLB record or something.
Not to start a game, Nola did have 10 in a row in a game to tie Tom Seavers record. I think that’s been broken since then
Oh. I just looked it up and Jeremiah Estrada had 13 in a row but over several appearances.
My goat
Comeback player of the year? I know he still played 2⁄3 of last season but nobody had any idea if he would comeback from his injury
Brewers playoffs preview
Another sweep this year will hit like crack
Incredible how the worst Dodgers’s fans come out of the woodwork in September
What the fuck did we do to you? Holy fuck Dodgers fans are insufferable. Congrats on being able to buy championships I guess?
Boy, I sure hope he didn’t show any emotion after any of those.
He didn’t
I keep getting Wheeler and Sale mixed up
Fire Don Mattingly.
Is that all? Seems low
