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

[LightningStorm]

Wow, what a catch by Chas! Astros should've put the game away earlier, but Pressley really put out the fire. And Verlander finally got a WS win!

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.

I'd agree, but your bullpen has held the Astros hitters down so far.

I don't know what Stanek ever did to Dusty but his lack of usage in these playoffs has been head scratching to say the least. I would trust him more so than Montero. But for whatever reason Dusty just doesn't trust him whatsoever.

Games like this show how important great defense is. Those plays by Mancini and McCormick were terrific.

Fantastic pitching and defense the last two games. Held Philly to two runs in 18 innings in their park. Been a great series.

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.

Yeah Pena's bat and glove been good. If they win it in 6 and Valdez pitches a gem, he's in the running. But if he pitches a gem and gets the win but Pena gets a rbi or more or just hits then what? Heck what if Pressly gets the save?
*Bregman has a outside shot as well

 

[Neutrinos]

I can't believe the Philly's manager didn't have Marsh bunting in that situation with the speedy Stott at 3rd...

Put the squeeze play on... stay out of the double play... score Stott from 3rd... and move Segura to 2nd

Absolutely horrendous managing to have Marsh and his sub-.200 AVG swinging away there

Would be the first RP to win it since Sandman in 1999. Only 6th ever to win it.

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.

And 2002.

 

[John Price]

As usual, Philly fans embarrassing their city and their franchise.



to put into context philly fans are harassing, insulting and going after Nick Castellanos which is pretty low for them.

Gurriel out for the World Series. Korey Lee added as back up catcher. Vazquez will be the DH. Mancini 1b.

 

[Halladay]

I'm on my way to the game. Don't think the Phillies will win tonight but if they do I see them winning tomorrow too. I think we will know early if Wheeler has it or not.

Huge blow with Yuli being out though i like Vazquez at DH. I mean he can't be any worse than Diaz or Mancini right?....... Right?

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

My nerves are already shot and the game hasn't even begun. Going to be a long night. I should probaly go get a bit of liquor or beer.

 

[Blitzkrug]

If you're Philly, this is the situation you want. You need two Ws and your two best arms are going for you.

Only problem is you need to find a way to beat the guy who has basically been unhittable all postseason.

 

[JWK]

People still don't want robo umps

 

[southsideIrish]

lol going to be one of those nights with the umps I guess. How the F do you call at least two of those balls?

 

[Blitzkrug]

I'm not sure how that inside fastball to Schwarber wasn't a strike but sure.

Phillies need to settle down. Hoskins can't be swinging on the first pitch there. Especially against a groundball pitcher like Valdez.

 

[GKJ]

This strike zone has been interesting to say the least

 

[Blitzkrug]

Lol what the f*** is this strike zone.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Wheeler looks good so far. Velo is back up.

 

[Halladay]

Wheeler looking much better right now than last time.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Lol what the f*** is this strike zone.

Its been a clown show for both teams. Robot umps can't get here quick enough

 

[TheTotalPackage]

This home plate ump has been horrendous. Inexcusable for a Game 6 World Series game.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Mancini finally gets a hit and we squander it. Not surprised. This Offense is so sporadic.

 

[Blitzkrug]

Welcome to the ump show, where the strike zone is made up and the balls/strikes don't matter.

 

[Halladay]

That was a ball but if want to eject nick I'm fine with that.
