At least Lance has settled down. Since he might be pitching a game 7, it’s good for his confidence and fixing whatever issue he had (whether...
Possibly, but I think the crowd is louder.
Just need to chip away and get Philly to use the bullpen. Even if they lose this game, make the Phillies use their high leverage guys. I’d...
When you are wild you don’t. If Lance was under control he probably would have.
Maybe Lance will settle down, but I would have rather seen Javier out there tonight in case of a potential game 7.
Suarez is a good pitcher but this is not that meaningful of a stat. Framber had 25 quality starts in a row until he didn’t. Winning 6 home games...
With the pitching staff the Astros have, no point in throwing anyone on short rest. I think Verlander is going to pitch a strong game 5. He...
The biggest difference is it makes Thomson's decision to pitch Suarez in relief in game 1 even better in hindsight. Nola / Wheeler are still...
The storm passed over where I am and it's been more than just a drizzle for stretches. It's not going to stop until 2am, so if it does get worse...
The weather is what it is, so no real point in complaining. You don't want to start sounding like Yankee's fans complaining about Judge's pop out.
Because I think Javier is the better pitcher right now and the added flexibility is not needed with how deep the bullpen is. It’s not a huge...
Verlander retired the first 10 batters before the dropped liner and three soft contact hits. Only the double was well hit in that inning. He’ll...
I understand that, I’d rather Javier pitch twice on full rest and Lance once. With Lance going twice, Javier can pitch in relief though and Lance...
That’s what I mean. Javier could be available in relief in a potential game 7 of he started game 4, but McCullers could not. I’d rather Javier...
I’d rather Javier start game 3, since I think he’s arguably the best pitcher on the team right now. I guess this provides more flexibility for a...
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...
Best of 5. There was no need for Pressly to pitch the ninth, but let’s celebrate the win.
For all the complaints about Dusty during the regular season, up until this series he’s managed the bullpen in the post season incredibly well. It...
Great game Framber. That double was even on a nice pitch.
I guess you can avoid the Phillies getting more looks at the bullpen in lower leverage spots. Neris should be able to come in quickly.
