Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

[E5 Yaz]

How can the Phillies score? It feels like an insurmountable task...

Score? They might never get a baserunner

 

[Fred in Lynn]

The Phillies promised a dying friend they’d never take a pitch.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That last pitch was absolutely filthy. Damn

 

[Al Zarilla]

Joe Buck is working for ESPN now.

Right. I did see Buck and Aikman do a Monday night football game. So, he's 100% ESPN now, obviously.

 

[phrenile]

How can the Phillies score?

They need to do way instain mother.

 

[Remagellan]

I'm rooting for the Phillies, but it would be funny if Verlander "Don Larsened" them tonight, just so MFY fans could cry about the Astros taking another thing away from them.

 

[E5 Yaz]

"He sees the ball and tries to hit the ball"

Really rooting for this. But need Astros to build
a big lead so Baker doesn’t have to use bullpen and has margin of error

edit:
Boooooo

 

[Al Zarilla]

Who's better, Peña or Julio Rodriguez?

 

[Ale Xander]

Who's better, Peña or Julio Rodriguez?

Peña better, JRod a bigger draw

 

[Al Zarilla]

Peña better, JRod a bigger draw

Wait, a documentary on Ted Williams being done?

 

[staz]

Amazing that Alvarez, Tucker and Pena are 25 years old.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Gulp

 

[Ale Xander]

Tucker must live

I guess he was due

 

[patinorange]

Over

 

[shawnrbu]

Ballgame.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Goodnight and good luck

 

[staz]

Jesus.

 

[canderson]

Well that might be game 1

 

[Ale Xander]

Now gotta minimize the Orsillos and the Verlander pitches

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

World Series legend stuff.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Austin Nola is happy he's not his brother right now.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

This game series is phucking over.

 

[Ale Xander]

Not sure what would be better, Verlander Perfecto or 4 HR game tonight by Tucker

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Springer leaves. No problem. Correa leaves. No problem. Brantley goes down for the season. No problem. Just ridiculous talent developmemt.

[McBride11]

Shoulda started wheeler with this 2-3-2 setup, steal one early. Of course HoF JV going off and random Astros playing outta their minds.

 

[Ale Xander]

Springer leaves. No problem. Correa leaves. No problem. Brantley goes down for the season. No problem. Just ridiculous talent developmemt.

Don’t forget Josh Reddick and Marlose Gonzalez

 

[shawnrbu]

Verducci interviewing Dusty in the Astros dugout mentions the no hitter.

Sure enough, there it goes.

 

[Ale Xander]

Verducci sucks and SI was overrated

 

[derekson]

How the fuck do you not score from 2nd with 2 outs

 

[Obscure Name]

Terrible hold.

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Harper's body language spoke volumes there.

 

[Ale Xander]

I blame Verducci

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

World Series Verlander has arrived.

 

[Ale Xander]

Good job Kershaw

 

[Remagellan]

This team...

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Castellanos needed that bad. He's struggled all year.

And now Bohm!

 

[derekson]

We have a real ballgame now!

 

[Obscure Name]

We got a game now.

 

[strek1]

This game series is phucking over.

Oh yeah?

 

[Ale Xander]

How the fuck do you not score from 2nd with 2 outs

Less risky to score from third

 

[staz]

Well now, we may have a ballgame after all.

Thanks. Was hoping it was a new one being done.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Good job Kershaw

Or, World Series Verlander.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Verlander looks exceedingly mortal.

 

[teddywingman]

Satisfying inning so far.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Castellanos (very surprisingly) shortened up with two strikes and poked a hit, and now Verlander is really laboring

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Great AB by Stott there.

 

[derekson]

This FOX booth needs a hitter to balance out Smoltz
