After the NLCS game 2 last year at CBP, i ran into owner john Middleton. I had to shake his hand and thank him for signing Bryce, saying he may go down as the greatest free agent signing in philly sports history. His response...."Wheeler wasn't too bad either" with a smile on his face. I love this team
The Phillies have been trying for 20 years now. Their only off years were when Howard's and Utley's contracts became an issue the last few years of their time there.
@@Schubesss - we also have to give Ruin Tomorrow Jr some credit for that. Trade away all the young talent and never win the WS with the results of those trades …
@@Itsnotme99 - I still smile at the irony of Dom Brown never being available to be traded ;) So you are correct, the talent doesn’t always develop. But those trades didn’t produce the desired results either.
Wheeler is super underrated for sure! Great Video, they keep getting better.
0:36 aged like the worst milk
Shoutout to giraffe neck Marc for saying wheeler was gerrit cole 2.0 and the contract was a steal before wheeler pitched for the Phillies
I so wanted to include part of his video on the signing but it just wouldn't have fit well enough so I scrapped it.

Good job on the nice video
Appreciate the kind words for sure! More to come soon.
That corbin comment is hilarious
One of my favorite baseball videos lol
Great stuff, still wish the Cubs had gotten this guy
Thanks for the kind words! Wheeler definitely proved so many people wrong. That jomboy clip is one of my favorite ones tbh lmao
With every Wheeler contract there is a Walker contract.
Great video! I think a new mic or something for your audio would go a long way
I have a blue yeti X so I think it may be the mic's settings. Definitely have to look into it more though. Thanks for the kind words!
The Mets GM at the time basically said "Thank our medical staff, because his two half seasons under us resulted in him getting paid bigtime!"
Theres a reason Brody Van Wagenen is no longer employed by an MLB team lmao
The bargain of the century
Some good comparisons in this

Yea lol sadly their drought between 2013-2019 was when I finally started to understand the financials of baseball lol

@@stevebabiak6997most of that young talent never became anything. If they didn't try people would say that's why they never won another one.

Wheeler getting more money than Corbin is nuts😂😂 That's a Stephen A. level take.
