Another year, another NL East team about to be giving the championship again by the Astros! I wanted the Padres instead!
Dusty has been good all postseason but questionable moves tonight. Abreu left in too long. Should have let Neris pitch another inning after only 5 pitches. Wouldn’t be out of bullpen arms right now. Then using Garcia for three hitters instead of Stanek who set the ERA record for a reliever this year.
In a 2-2-1-1 format, The homefield team do not have the pressure of 3 away games in a row after losing game 1. That's the whole point.
The bats quit as soon as the other team shows any life. It happened in 2019, and it's happening again. We can talk about Dusty and Verlander, but if the bats get a run or two after the game was tied, we still win
I sure as heck ain't gonna panic. Not guaranteeing a win or anything, but this Phillies team is still very beatable. This is only 1 game.
Verlander hasn't pitched in a World Series since game 6 in 2019, goes out for 2 years, comes back tonight to continue to suck!! Was it worth the wait?
We were talking about how this could be all-time great team.. They're going to be an all-time choke team and cheaters on top of that if they lose this.
I think we're talking past each other. it's not worth fighting about. sucks that bats went quiet after JV's meltdown. On to the next one.
