Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

[LogansDad]

113 exit velo to win the World Series. Unreal.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

People will rightly focus on the Phils offense finally evaporating as this series wore on, but Alvardo also pumpkined. This guy was traded from the Rays for a reason

 

[brandonchristensen]

Series over.

 

[reej]

what a blast

 

[Ale Xander]

That seems important

back to LSU Bama

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

This dude is an absolute assassin.

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Turn out the lights
The party’s over

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Uh holy shit how far did that go

It cleared the batter's eye... which is like 30' high at 400'. He womped it.

Edit: 450' according to the announcers. Mashed.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

450ft

 

[Remagellan]

That felt like Joe Carter's blast, only three innings early.

Estimated 450 on the telecast

 

[JOBU]

fo-fiddy

 

[Ale Xander]

That’s a Papian stat

 

[E5 Yaz]

All the talk in the booth about the home run, but not about pulling Wheeler

 

[shawnrbu]

Would that have been gone if the roof was open?

 

[Ale Xander]

Alvarado is like the Phillian Brasier, it seems

 

[JOBU]

This guys a fucken mess

 

[Ed Hillel]

450…to straightaway Center. Remember when Mo Vaughn hit one 500 to Center?

 

[Deweys New Stance]

I suspect the ‘Stros are not done scoring. Alvarado has nothing

 

[patinorange]

All the talk in the booth about the home run, but not about pulling Wheeler

A dicey hit by pitch and a seeing eye grounder. Pulling him was questionable to say the least.

 

[Doc Zero]

weirdly quiet ballpark. less so after that blast, but not much less.

Tigers stadium?? Edit: I might be thinking of a roof ball

 

[Ale Xander]

Why is this guy still in there?

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Alvarado throws really hard. Not sure he knows where it's going.

 

[Remagellan]

Well, at least some well-off middle-aged douche caught the ball instead of some kid.

 

[shawnrbu]

Why is this guy still in there?

3 batter minimum

 

[E5 Yaz]

Why is this guy still in there?

Three batter rule

 

[brandonchristensen]

This is how you lose a World Series.

 

[dhellers]

Why is this guy still in there?

3 hitter minimum

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Only 70 pitches for Wheeler. I get the lefty lefty matchup but jeez…

 

[LogansDad]

Why is this guy still in there?

He has to face three hitters.

 

[shawnrbu]

Phillies would have been better off if Schwarber didn’t hit a home run.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Only 70 pitches for Wheeler. I get the lefty lefty matchup but jeez…

The algorithm made it so.

Baseball is stupid now. Same shit as the Rays/Dodgers when they pulled Snell. Ignoring the hot hand because the computer says so.

Thank you all. Wasn’t paying attention on when he entered

 

[LogansDad]

That was a gutsy pitch to finish off Tucker.

The computer says the Phillies bullpen had a 1.14 ERA with 27 Ks in the series.

The computer said to bat Rhys second because Johnny Damon busted out in 2004.

My favorite as a kid in the pre nomar days.

First comment in video “this guy was on cheeseburgers” haha

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Someone needs to program the computer to know Alvarez is really really dangerous.

 

[LogansDad]

A dicey hit by pitch and a seeing eye grounder. Pulling him was questionable to say the least.

Pena's single was 96 exit velo. Not sure I would call it seeing eye.

 

[JOBU]

VAZ!!

 

[Ale Xander]

So the Astros lineup wasn’t only 5 deep today

 

[LogansDad]

Ahhhhh fuck

 

[brandonchristensen]

Can't believe they pulled Wheeler lol. Just horrific managing.

 

[Wallball Tingle]

Vaz, with the dagger, in Minute Maid Park.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I do feel good for Vaz

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Vaz!

 

[LogansDad]

Really wanted a game 7. Oh well.

Bam Muchacho!
