    I mean the bottom of the order has been good for much of the postseason. Maldy even has more hits than yordan going into this week. You can’t expect them to remain as if they should be at the top

    I mean those 2 and Pena are guys most in the zone right now. They could probably hit anyone right now.

    Brogdon is right at his high in pitch count ~25-30 pitches. They have an off day tomorrow, so they may try to squeeze another out of him. But top of the order so will probably go with Alvarado.

    Proven hitter. That’s who I would have started at DH.

    Would it be a stretch to ask Javier to pitch in relief today?

    After JV is done (hopefully after two more scoreless innings), Vasquez needs to come in for Maldy.

    Is "Phillies" just short for "Philadelphia"? Coz if it is, that's got to be the laziest naming scheme in team sports history.

    Every hitter not in the Dh spot has more hits than Yordan this Series.

    To those asking for vasquez at DH, the rules for DH position is too strict and risky to play him there.

    It’s worth the risk. Ain’t happening though. Gotta be killing Vasquez to not be in the game.
