I think they jump on Ranger Suarez and Lance pitches well. I hope they can add on. That's been an issue that could bite them. Astros 7-3 win today I think Nola may turn it around and Phillies win 3-2 tomorrow. JV comes through in 8-3 win Thursday. Framber closes it out Saturday 4-1in game 6 and is MVP
I thought 65/35 before the rain postponement. I'd say 55/45 or 60/40 now. I think the Phillies' odds of taking Game 3 are higher now and the winner of that statistically has a pretty good chance of winning the title.
Feels like a mini offseason, excited to see the squad back and playing baseball again... No pressure, lets get off to a good start and win a quick 3...
No problem with water. Stay hydrated. Booze is now on the table for those who drink alcoholic beverages. Just about time for Happy Hour.
That's not happening. Ever Dusty will simply not do that. So are you proposing that if the first two men get on and it's first and third and nobody out in the first inning that he yank him? Now I will say that because of what happened last game, and in that exact same situation he would pull him after the 4th inning next time around. But that's just a minor tweak, he's not going full out irrational as you're suggesting. A shorter leash? Yes. A really short leash? Never.
Must win today for the Phils. If the Astros jump all over them again like they have 2 games in a row its not going to bode well for their psyche moving forward.
Remember when the Astros crushed the Nationals' psyche by winning 3 straight on the road? No one gets to the World Series by being so mentally weak that losing a game destroys them.
I have not looked up the lines but for now the Phillies have to be slightly favored. It’s a 5 game series and they have home field advantage. A Houston win tonight would shift the odds dramatically.
