Philadelphia vs Houston - World Series thread

[Sandwich Pick]

Still don't get Hoskins batting second. Put JT second in the order and evaluate Harper to third

It's worked all postseason. I'm more befuddled at Castellanos hitting 5th. He has been awful at the plate all postseason.

 

[Ale Xander]

Astros must score in this inning or they’re out in 5 games

 

[Ale Xander]

Bunt here?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Uh Oh.

 

[canderson]

Floodgates about to burst open methinks and change this series entirely

 

[Ale Xander]

Lame

 

[Ale Xander]

Ale knows nothing

 

[mauidano]

Yordan Alvarez is going to come out of his shoes on the first pitch.

 

[phrenile]

Maybe don't do that.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Oh, crap.

 

[mauidano]

Just wow! What an idiot.

 

[Ale Xander]

Great move by Rob to increase the Orsillos for Javier

 

[Al Zarilla]

Stupid feck.

 

[Ale Xander]

Did Smoltz just say Astros want to hit into a double play now?

 

[hunter05]

Smoltz wants his guys to hit into double plays

 

[hunter05]

Of all the fucking dumb shit

 

[Ale Xander]

Just 2?

 

[loshjott]

I was at that 2019 WS game.

 

[canderson]

Feels like game and maybe series to me. It’s early but if Houston wakes up this is over.

 

[phrenile]

And that's worse.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Probably do something else now.

 

[phrenile]

Probably do something else now.

Don't give them any ideas.

 

[Remagellan]

Feels like game and maybe series to me. It’s early but if Houston wakes up this is over.

I think I've seen this before...a year ago in the ALCS.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Feels like game and maybe series to me. It’s early but if Houston wakes up this is over.

People were literally saying this in the third inning of the 1st game. The series is definitely not remotely over.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Way to let all those inherited runners score, Alvarado.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I think I've seen this before...a year ago in the ALCS.

Exactly what I was thinking

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

These idiots should have bunted and hit into a double play.

 

[Ale Xander]

5-0
The Phillies have them right where they want them

 

[JOBU]

I think I've seen this before...a year ago in the ALCS.

Too soon. What was it? The Red Sox scored 26 runs in the first 27 innings of the ALCS last year… and like 1 in the final 26 or some shit? Yeah

 

[canderson]

People were literally saying this in the third inning of the 1st game. The series is definitely not remotely over.

Oh it’s not but if Houston is winning tonight and they have a big advantage tomorrow - things turn quick as we know …

 

[Flynn4ever]

I would say this lead feels insurmountable, but G1 makes it seem less so.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

It was Javier who came in and pitched three shutout innings in that Game 4 against the Sox and kept it 2-1 until the Astros offense eventually exploded. Deja vu.

 

[phrenile]

Diaz the thrombosis.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Astros must score in this inning or they’re out in 5 games

How 'bout helping out the Phillies now?

 

[Ale Xander]

How 'bout helping out the Phillies now?

Pass

 

[Remagellan]

Oh it’s not but if Houston is winning tonight and they have a big advantage tomorrow - things turn quick as we know …

That's part of the reason I brought up last year--in 48 hours it went from "Can anyone stop the Red Sox?" to "Can anyone stop the Astros?" And in the end, the answer to both questions was, "Yes."

 

[Ale Xander]

Tons of Orsillos though

 

[aksoxfan]

did vaz catch this guy when he shut down the M’s?

 

[Ale Xander]

Wrong thread

 

[Deweys New Stance]

Not tipping any pitches tonight.

 

[JOBU]

Was that dr biden?

 

[Doc Zero]

I always get a little bit of a laugh out of the default I Stand Up For Cancer signs.

“LOVED ONES”

“PATIENTS”

“PEOPLE WHO HAVE CANCER”

 

[phrenile]

Was that dr biden?

[Ale Xander]

Where was the sign for Nets teammates?

 

[mauidano]

Jinx!

 

[canderson]

A combined no hitter would be awesome.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Ugh. Astros in 6.

 

[derekson]

Damn just got free to watch and.... not what I was expecting.

 

[Ale Xander]

That’s impressive

 

[InstaFace]

Philly needs Harper to channel 2013 David Ortiz.
