Rise and Phight: 10/19/2022

Curious what you think of the decisions to take Zack Wheeler out last night. It’s the most debated thing about the game since it was so fast and had so little offense. It turned out to be fine in the end, but what would you have done:

• Left Wheeler in to finish the game?
• Let him start the eighth inning with someone warming up/start warming when someone got on?
• Do the exact same thing Rob Thomson did?
