    I just hope all the more unreasonable Houston Astros fans can control their angry outbursts and not gravitate to violence. Thanks.

    You leave McCullers - the offense is not doing nothing - why waste arms ..4-0 / 7-0 no different

    Kinda expected this though. Also why isn’t the Philly’s payroll talked about more. They are paid like they should be in at least playoffs every year and WS.

    Dusty is managing this like a June regular season game. In the World Series, every inning is a separate, high intensity event. If a pitcher is struggling or fatiguing, he has to come out RIGHT THEN. All norms have to go out the window. You should not assume that a starter should go 5 innings. A starter should go for only as long as he is VERY EFFECTIVE. Especially in the case of the Astros, where they have literally the deepest pitching staff in baseball. Dusty should have turned this into a bullpen game immediately after Harper's 2-run HR.

    There is just no excuse for how Dusty managed this game. Awful. And people wonder why he has never won the big one.

    I bet Philly watched Lance warmup yesterday during rain delay… won’t come out for a year or 2

    I don't get bringing in our leverage guy here. If ever there were innings for Will Smith it was the next 5.1.

    Dusty did say, we didn't have Verlander and McCullers in 2021. I blame Dusty for putting all the marbles in these 2 players. Remember the McCullers' arm injury for celebrating after a series win, he should of been banned from the postseason.

    Phillies are using up their quota of world series runs. This is too good to be true. They've got nothing left.

    12 more outs to work with. Use this to fix your game.

    Game 3 and 4 is the game to steal. Waiting until game 5 is not ideal.
