    Exactly! I saw that & I was like WTFFF, they didn't even show the replay & I'm surprised JV didn't check w/ the 1st base ump

    As per the commentators, something was off with his mechanics and High heat was going off the zone

    Losing to inferior NL teams again and again in the WS is kind of infuriating.

    It's Rocket Game time

    Nah. The Phillies really can't afford to pull Nola/Wheeler before the 5th with their bullpen. He was going to have to fight through no matter what.

    No. This is the WS and my team just coughed up a 5 run lead. Are you kidding?

    No one will ever be able to explain after he's long been retired why he was 15-5 with an ERA hovering around 3 before the World Series and couldn't garner a single World Series victory and had an era approaching 7.

    How do you just turn on a dime and start choking like that?

    That's beyond baffling.

    Dusty leaving JV in to pitch to Realmuto is a fireable offense.

    This was the real

    I mean all of that Dusty not having the Bullpen warming up to start the inning. How do you not have them prepping just in case.

    Also the announcer noticed the mechanics in the 4th inning, why aren't the Astros able to figure that and let Dusty or JV know before he goes back out there in the 5th.

    You haven’t been watching their big run innings - they make contact to comeback

    they won off of HRs late in games

    Yes. First time ever as manager this year after OG manager was fired mid season.

    Which is smart. Basically means you can't change approach and just be super aggressive pitching to them when you have a lead. I don't think that is what JV was doing. but the rest of the staff should be aware.
