Huh? The Phillies beat the Cards with a 1-2 punch of Wheeler and Nola. Nola dominated the Braves and the Wheeler-Wright matchup was excellent. The Phillies have allowed 16 runs in 6 playoff games so far. If you don't think pitching has played a major role you haven't been paying attention.Conventional wisdom in baseball has been that good pitching beats good hitting. Phillies defied that all season and stood it on its head in the short series. It will be interesting to see if they can continue to out hit teams in the longer NLCS and World Series.
