After Game 1, you had to know there was going to be another close one along the way. This one delivered big time. So many huge moments offensively, on the mound and defensively. I hope Game 6 is a blowout win so we don't have to stress, but if this game was the most memorable of the series, it was a damn good one. I'll give it to the Phillies. They may be heavy underdogs, but they have not played like it. Every time the top of their order comes up, I'm legitimately terrified. This has been the most fun World Series since 2017 by far (the fact that the Astros actually have a lead right now may skew my perspective a bit).
Stupid Baker. Bringing in a guy who had given up 1 run in 9 postseason innings and had a WHIP under 1. What the hell was he thinking?
He's a rookie... He's 25. He can be Soto or better who knows? But think about our roster right now? Tuck 25. Yordan 25. Bregman 28. Pena 25. Javier 25. Framber 28. Urqidy 27. Luis Garcia 25. That is a hell of a core to build around.
I hate that dusty used up urquidy in game 3. If you don't want to being in brown in high leverage situations then bring him instead. We won't have urquidy now prob until game 7. Hope Yuli can play he is one of our best players in the playoffs
Also re: Pena. Can we center an entire Astros campaign around this guy. Get his smile front and center and him giving out hearts to his mom on national TV. He can be our Bryce Harper, Mike Trout or Aaron Judge!!!! Kids will eat this guy up!!!
How many pitches did Urquidy throw? Was it around 45? Couldn't he be available on 3 days rest in Game 6?
Feel really good about Framber on Saturday like it’s going to be a no drama 8-3 win. If it goes 7 it had damn well better be Javier starting.
Wow.... This team just gutted out 2 of the most incredible wins I've ever seen, for completely different reasons. Mancini and Chaz 100% saved that game. Mancini's play was absolutely underrated, we may have been trailing if he didn't field that. I've seen a million times where the 1B knocks it down but the run would have scored anyway. Unbelievably crucial. No more Montero in the 8th please. Wells run dry on that. We didn't play great, but this was a gut check, stomach-turning win. I honestly think my heart is going to explode at this pace. I keep checking the score on mlb.com to make sure we actually did win that. Unreal. Time to bring this home and finish this out. Go Stros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't notice quite closely, but...... Were there any "Houston sucks" chants in games 4 and 5 like what happened in Game 3 ??? Win this thang in 6
