Final Thoughts
What more can you say about how great Aaron Nola has been?
Nola’s ERA is down to just 3.02, and by the time the season’s over, there’s a very strong chance he’ll have one in the 2.00’s.
Nola has now gone 10 straight starts allowing two runs or less. The last Phillie to pull off a streak similar to that was Cliff Lee.

Nola is a stud. He can anchor the staff into the future. Williams and Altherr seem to be the real deal as does Herrera …. they need a couple of the young starters to develop consistency
