[Official] World Series Phillies vs. Astros

No pressly

 

Full steam ahead.

Go Astros!!

 

Framber seems auto lock if he dominates tomorrow.

As much as I love Pena, two dominant starts is kind of a big deal.

 

Both that lead and Smoltz have been unabashed in their love affair with the Phillies. I am actually NEVER the guy to complain about commentators, but these two have actually made Joe Buck and Bob Costas look like Kevin Harlan and Marv Albert on steroids. Both of these douchebags have been SO insufferable that I actually found myself wishing I had it on mute in the biggest moments of the games. In my 30ish years of watching sports, I have NEVER heard of a commentator hyping up a moment a full 3 innings in advance. The Bryce Harper Countdown was one of the absolute weirdest things I have ever heard. And the lead guy can absolutely **** all the way off with his "Jose Altuve is the face of this era of the Astros....for better or worse." Every single moment in all 5 games so far have been tinged with a Phillies skew. Astros pitching dominating? Oh, well Harper ALMOST caught up to that Abreu fastball. He better not throw it again. Pena comes up with a big hit?? Oh, well the Phillies pitcher almost had him out on strikes the pitch before. It's a ****ing joke.

 

if Framber has a quality start tomorrow and they win, he would likely be the MVP

 

The talking heads at ESPN think Mancini was a “defensive replacement” for Yuli. Did anyone with the Astros make this claim? Do any of these talking heads even watch the games?

 

If Altuve's first hit last game goes up 2 more ft, his OPS would be around .900s.
Would be nice to have a Yordan cameo in game 6.
And when do we get the good umpire again?

 

People were saying that cause it got colder JT's ball didn't carry as far. It's possible that the timing of the hits led to different outcomes.

 

You know what would be awesome and calming tomorrow? An 8-2 win.

 

Marsh had 0 chance of catching that. However, his blunder allowed altuve to get to 3rd.

 

Harper had the unfortunate luck of being compared to Trout since they were teenagers.

In the end it may turn out Harper has the better career.

 

When men were men.

He was also chewing gum and rubbing his stomach at the same time.

 

In that interview with Chas afterward, he also mentioned that he was playing pretty deep in order to prevent doubles. In the first inning the Phillies would have had a normal CF depth, I'm sure. That might have been the difference in Chas having time to get there.

 

They said MMP was a "library", and Philly fans are built different. This was Nick Castellanos' wife during the combined no-hitter.




EDIT: Mattress Mack wearing a cool shirt today.

 

I love the day after a playoff win and reading this thread, I go back to “the catch” and then Go all the way to the end! You guys are the best!
