Chas doesn't have much of an arm either. MLB avg CF: 90.0 Dubon 89 2 Chas 84.6 Meyers 84.1 ( Siri 91.6) FYI Jake had 84.9 last season so his throws are weaker but not as much as I thought.
I don't like Mancini over Diaz. Diaz actually got a hit in Game 2 and it was a double. I guess Dusty wants to give Mancini one more shot at breaking out. And since the Astros are up 2-0, this is his last opportunity to do so with (almost) nothing on the line.
If the Astros are lucky enough to get to a world series this year. I am sensing danger in the Phillies. Why does it have to be the NL East?
I feel like the Dodgers would be worth the bet right now. They seem to always crawl out of the NLDS. I also don't trust the Padres pitching to keep it up. If they advance they would be heavy favorites against Philly.
You’re afraid of the team we nearly no-hit 2 weeks ago? If the Padres get past ESPN’s wet dream of a team Dodgers after being owned by them all year, that’s who I’d fear. In either case, though, they don’t have Yordan and therefore have no chance.
Yordan was horrible in the World Series last year after being unstoppable in the ALCS. Anything can happen in baseball.
The Phillies look nothing like how they finished the season. They’re red hot right now and playing as good as anyone and they have multiple aces to throw out in Nola and wheeler. they actually luckily stumbled in bc the brewers couldn’t get the last few ones to over take their spot. With all the noise focused on all the other big teams, Philly looks like the most dangerous right now
We'll see how they hold up in a 7 game series. Nola and Wheeler are as good as any at the top of the rotation, but the rest of their starters are hittable.
This is a different Yordan now that his family is here. I think we get July Yordan for the rest of the way. Enjoy it!!
