New series. Best of 5 with home field to Philly. Astros play better on the road than at home in the WS. On paper we have better #3 and #4 starters. Offense just has to keep averaging at least 5 runs a game and we can win it in 6 or 7.
I could live with the Astros recreating the 2019 ALCS. Lose Game 1, win Games 2-4, lose Game 5, and win Game 6 at MMP with a walkoff homer.
Nice win but we almost gave it away in the end. gotta take 2 in Philly. Their crowd makes ours look corporate. Will be a huge factor.
Good Altuve showed up, Bregman is healthy and raking, Framber is on top of his game. Scoring 5 runs each when their top 2 starters go is as good as you could dream of.
In all fairness he did not choke because of his pitching, he had a double play and dropped the ball... If he makes that play I'm sure he would have had his first ever not a disaster World Series start and W....
Lol, pretty much this right here. At least we got the W tonight. Let's take care of business in Philly.
The first three runs were fluky - only one well hit ball. In the next inning, I think he had tried to amp it up to much and can’t do that any more. He’s got the ability to do it for a few batters when needed, but not for 30 pitches.
Sucks that we lost game 1 but here we are, tied. Win game 3 at all cost then let the 'curveball guy' steal game 4 and anything goes in game 5. Like it's hard?
The scary part is the Phillies lineup is tough 1-9. Bottom of the order was putting quality ABs and getting on base. This does not bode well for the rest of the series. Also they are getting a good look at everyone in our bullpen, and also having success against all of them. Abreu, Montero, and Pressly
If you assume we lose game 5 with JV starting (extremely likely), that means we still need to win 3 of the other 4 games. This one's gonna take a minor miracle.
