Yah...not sure if the Astros can hit against Wheeler tonight, but I know the Phillies can against Gordon. Who knows...baseball stuff can happen.
It's been happening all season for the Astros, we are the gold standard in that regard How many times have we exclaimed "what did i just watch?"
Phillies have everything but a reliable bullpen to win it all. Can't believe they have yet to resolve this problem. Quick, tell me who the closer is for the Phillies without looking.
Their closer Alvarado got busted for PEDs. Jordan Romano is closing for them now - he hasn't been good this year but he was a really good closer in Toronto up until last year.
We keep stealing Ws with these horrific lineups, last night being the latest. And I’m not even criticizing Espada, we are a mash unit. I feel like this could be our year - we are winning a ton of close games, stealing games we have no business winning.
Probably for the same reasons we bother with Hummel and Guillorme. He bats left and plays good defense. And there's really no one else since Yordan, Chas, Dezenzo, Melton are all injured.
