GDT: 2022 World Series: (AL) Houston Astros vs (NL) Philadelphia Phillies

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Montero is opening the door.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Philly's hopes of winning the world series hangs on these two outs.

It feels like if they can't get their foot in the door here, then it closes for good.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Here we go. 3-2 and Swords is about to have a heart attack.

 

[GKJ]

Astros going to the closer for 5 outs

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Elvis escapes thanks to Mancini. Wow.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Montero should be giving Pressly and Mancini kisses.

If they hang on for the win, buy them dinner.

Pressly has it tough with the big boys so add more runs.

Mancini's bat is dead but glad his glove isn't

 

[Halladay]

Montero shouldn't pitch again. Been lucky this series.

 

[Canes]

One of those super important defensive plays that will be lost in the annals of time.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Dusty needs to be smacked for leaving in Montero. Uggh

Here we go. 3-2 and Swords is about to have a heart attack.

Multiple times over.

Y

One of those super important defensive plays that will be lost in the annals of time.

Yup. The guy finally did something good.

Geez. Pressly trying for a 5 out save. Damn im nervous

 

[LightningStorm]

Astros have the stress of closing it out against the Phils 2-4 hitters due to their horrid batting with RISP. After Pena's RBI single in the first they are 0 for their last 10 with RISP.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I'm walking Harper here if Realmuto can't get on.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

CHAS

 

[Canes]

Defense is the name of the game. Holy shit.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Two big boy defensive plays in as many innings by the Astros. God damn.

 

[Halladay]

If Acuna was in right field and doesn't catch that it might be another inside the park homerun.

Nice play.

Nick is up, game over.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Astros are 1 win away.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Don't screw up like 2019. My heart can't take close games.

 

[Canes]

I usually would say never say never but the Phillies ain't winning 2 in Houston. It's just not happening.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Omg that game put me on life support. What a f***ing catch Chas!

 

[EpochLink]

After going off in game 3, Phillies only score 2 runs in 2 games.

Ouch.

They need to pull it all out for 6/7

 

[Halladay]

Ugh. Houston is really good. Phillies top of the order had 5 plate appearances couldn't score. It's over.

8-0 feels great and relieves this pain.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

With Dusty's history and what happened in 2019 when the Nats won 6 and 7, I can't give this the ''it's over'' tag. Sorry.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Don't screw up like 2019. My heart can't take close games.

That is exactly what I'm dreading. C'mon Framber close this out on Saturday please.

Dusty needs to pull his head out of his ass and learn how to yank people when the water's start to get troubled ffs.

With Dusty's history and what happened in 2019 when the Nats won 6 and 7, I can't give this the ''it's over'' tag. Sorry.

It sure as hell isn't. 2019 will forever be burned into my brain.

 

[Halladay]

I usually would say never say never but the Phillies ain't winning 2 in Houston. It's just not happening.

If Wheeler weren't gassed I'd say there is a chance. He is though.

I'll be a game 6. Hitting Framber will be difficult.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Ryan Pressly will be the MVP .. IF we pull this off. Don't really know who else you would give it to. Abreu, possibly?

But i get ahead of myself. The 2019 choke will be occupying my thoughts for the rest of this series.

Oh. Forgot about Pena.
