World Series

Why do the Astros leave McCullars out there to get hammered?

This is ridiculous.

Lol, why did they start him in the first place ? I knew he was going to get hammered

[RocketDawg]

Philadelphia has some hot bats tonight. In fact, record hot - first time in World Series history to have 5 homers in the first 5 innings.

[MaroonFlounder]

Lol, why did they start him in the first place ? I knew he was going to get hammered

His first mistake was not pitching around Harper to get to the righty, who grounded out weakly to 3rd after the 2-run Jack.

Things may have been completely different. That killed his confidence

[WhiskeyPirate]

Philly at home is a beast.

I don’t think the Astros get out of there alive

Harper has killed the confidence in a lot of pitchers this year. Just saying.

Their Breaking balls are just hanging there. Phillies batters seem to know what the pitch is as soon as the stros pitcher releases the ball. No movement at all on the balls

[WhiskeyPirate]

Philly lineup is brutal, especially when the bottom half starts hitting. That place is going to be going crazy tomorrow.

Some comments that McCullars was tipping his pitches. I think that’s right

[parabrave]

Or the Phillies went back to stealing signs. But 5 hrs. Every announcer said he was giving away pitches. But Dusty didn't think so. Houston we got a problem. Oh yeah Nola pitching tomorrow.

[SilentSteel16]

Series will be back in Houston at 3-2 Houston leading. Series is over in 6. Phillys best shot is tonight, but Javier is going to embarrass them tonight like he did to the Yanks every time. A pissed off Verlander tomorrow and then Valdez at Houston. Series is over…

Not a chance. Phillies win this, possibly even at home.

Hubris....or mental retardation

[Commercecomet24]

Game 4 is always so important. If philly wins huge advantage and can win it all at home, houston wins guarantee the series goes back to houston. Nut cuttin' time.

[SilentSteel16]

Not a chance. Phillies win this, possibly even at home.

If the Phillies players have this mindset, this series is already over. About to see just how strong they are. Astros win tonight they will win the series. You can write that down.

[KOdawg1]

I hate Philly. All of their sports teams

[Commercecomet24]

Christian Javier since September 1st, 4-0, 35 IP, 0.51 era. Phillies facing a tough one tonight

11-9 this year, bring it on

If the Phillies jump,out to a lead, it’s going to be over quick

[Homedawg]

Won loss record is by far the most meaningless stat there is. Worthless. You can lose 1-0 or you can win a bunch of games 7-6 and you went 5 and they left you out there bc the pen was shot. Meh on w-l record.

[SilentSteel16]

Ask the Yankees and their “murder row” about Javier bringing it on…

Screw the Yankees, Phillies at home are a whole different animal

[SilentSteel16]

Phillies are 47-34 at home


Astros are 51-30 on road

[Homedawg]

Screw the Yankees, Phillies at home are a whole different animal

Phillies might win. But anyone who puts any validity to win- loss is clueless about baseball. But carry on

[Homedawg]

Phillies are 47-34 at home


Astros are 51-30 on road

But but but

[WhiskeyPirate]

Watch the game and stop yapping

Phillies are the hottest team in baseball, don’t give me some home stat back when Joe Gerardi was mis-managing

We’ve got some bitter braves fans on here that can’t accept the Phillies sent them home with the big L

[SilentSteel16]

I think there is a HUGE difference is home/road splits of an entire team VS win/loss of a pitcher

I agree with what you are saying but this whole argument of Phillies being a different animal at home doesn’t really show up in wins and loses.

[SilentSteel16]

Hottest team? They played the Astros right before the season ended. Memory doesn’t recall who won that series.

[Homedawg]

11-9, don't matter baseball season is full of ups and downs, slumps and hot streaks and Javier is on a big hot streak right now. He's been almost unhittable for a month. We'll see how it plays out.

[Homedawg]

.95 whip. 194 k in 148 innings. That's what matters. Now, with all that said, he might lose tonight. But 11-9 is meaningless.

[msstate7]

Nola is 11-13 this season.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Nola is 11-13 this season.

I know, but i just learned W-L record is meaningless and hot streaks don’t matter.

[msstate7]

I know, but i just learned W-L record is meaningless and hot streaks don’t matter.

W-l is a terrible metric to judge a pitcher by. Just found it funny you used 11-9 as a knock while your guy is 11-13

I’m just trash talking, lighten up Francis

[SilentSteel16]

I’m just trash talking, lighten up Francis

Starting to sound like an LSU fan, illogical and blind confidence

[msstate7]

The Astros need to find some hitters for the bottom of their lineup this offseason. Those guys suck

[Commercecomet24]

Why can't we all just get along ? Lol

[SilentSteel16]

The Astros need to find some hitters for the bottom of their lineup this offseason. Those guys suck

It happens when your team leader and best all around hitter gets hurt for the year. For those of you who don’t follow Astros I am talking about Uncle Mike. Michael Brantley

Alvarez is your best hitter, and it isn't close

[SilentSteel16]

Alvarez is good but professional hitter all around is Brantley and that my friend is the truth.

[msstate7]

Career stats..

wRC+:
Brantley 118
Alvarez 164

Ops:
Brantley .794
Alvarez .973

I like brantley, a lot, but Alvarez is special. Alvarez is one of the best hitters in the game

[Commercecomet24]

Astros opening up a can. Nola hasn't been good in his last few starts

[SilentSteel16]

Like I said months ago, Astros hit fastballs HARD. They look for these 100mph guys and tee off

[SilentSteel16]

Nola was lucky to have only given up 3 earned. He pitched out of several jams

[Homedawg]

I know, but i just learned W-L record is meaningless and hot streaks don?t matter.

Nope said w-l was worthless... never said hot streaks Read and learn

[msstate7]

If Astros hold on, Phillies in trouble... verlander on extra rest tomorrow

[PikeDawg15]

I?m weirdly finding myself rooting for the Astros because I can?t stand any Philadelphia sports team.

[Commercecomet24]

Nola was lucky to have only given up 3 earned. He pitched out of several jams

9 earned runs in 8 ip for Nola now. Yikes!

[WhiskeyPirate]

Nope said w-l was worthless... never said hot streaks Read and learn

Calm down, Phillies are still going to win the series.

[SilentSteel16]

Series will be back in Houston at 3-2 Houston leading. Series is over in 6. Phillys best shot is tonight, but Javier is going to embarrass them tonight like he did to the Yanks every time. A pissed off Verlander tomorrow and then Valdez at Houston. Series is over?

See above

[WhiskeyPirate]

See above

No, it’s going back to Houston , 3-2 Phillies and they just need to split, which they will

[Commercecomet24]

If Astros hold on, Phillies in trouble... verlander on extra rest tomorrow

Verlander and then well rested Valdez back at Houston

[WhiskeyPirate]

Verlander is what I’m counting on, 0-7 in World Series and worst era in World Series history

[SilentSteel16]

Verlander is what I’m counting on, 0-7 in World Series and worst era in World Series history

Your posts remind me of that scene where, Harry and Loyd chase down the Hawaiian Tropic bus and say “The town is that way.”

[msstate7]

Verlander is what I?m counting on, 0-7 in World Series and worst era in World Series history

That's so insane that it has to be flukish. If you offer me verlander or thor and pen tomorrow, I'm choosing verlander, WS stats be damn

[Homedawg]

Glad Javier sucks w his 11-9.

[Homedawg]

Verlander is what I’m counting on, 0-7 in World Series and worst era in World Series history

It's will James w way less authority.

[SilentSteel16]

Your posts remind me of that scene where, Harry and Loyd chase down the Hawaiian Tropic bus and say “The town is that way.”

Right when you think they figured out their error, they double down and deflect


BTW , I told you Javier was going to embarrass, so far 0 hits and what 9 Ks?

[WhiskeyPirate]

That's so insane that it has to be flukish. If you offer me verlander or thor and pen tomorrow, I'm choosing verlander, WS stats be damn

Game one wasn’t a fluke, Phillies will get to him. If Dusty has a few brain cells he will pull him after the fourth inning.

[Homedawg]

Same dumb takes, just not going down w the ship.... YET

[WhiskeyPirate]

It's will James w way less authority.

Yea cause era doesn’t matter either, right smart guy ?

[Homedawg]

Game one wasn’t a fluke, Phillies will get to him. If Dusty has a few brain cells he will pull him after the fourth inning.
And how Philly was going to take down 11-9 too. Right.

[WhiskeyPirate]

And how field was going to take down 11-9 too. Right.

We will see after we leave Philly up 3-2

[SilentSteel16]

It is just a game, that stand up to cancer was EXTREMELY WELL DONE. Bravo to Mastercard and MLB.

[Homedawg]

Yea cause era doesn’t matter either, right smart guy ?

Huh??? Era is a valuable stat. Not the most important to me. But yes. Valuable. What's your point??

[Homedawg]

We will see after we leave Philly up 3-2

I don't care who or how it happens your take befor this game was dumb. And forever more will be. 11-9

[Homedawg]

Yea cause era doesn’t matter either, right smart guy ?

You might be Will James after all.

[SilentSteel16]

W/L record for a pitcher does not give you full picture.. ERA does, K/BB does, release to plate time does.

It is kinda like a bikini, shows a lot but not everything.

[Homedawg]

Thank goodness Philly was at home or they might have negative hits

Era is less important to me than whip and k/bb. But it's up there.

[Commercecomet24]

Glad Javier sucks w his 11-9.

Hasn't allowed a hit in 5 2/3 and he's dominating just like he has been all month and playoffs

[WhiskeyPirate]

I don't care who or how it happens your take befor this game was dumb. And forever more will be. 11-9

“Forever more”

Ok putz

100%.

Dang dude! Now that was funny! I have no more rep to give!

How does the "hot" team work? Are the Phillies still "hot" after this?

[Commercecomet24]

How does the "hot" team work? Are the Phillies still "hot" after this?

It's crazy to think one team in the World Series is hotter than the other! They're both in the World Series, which is the very definition of being hot at the right time! I've seen the "hot" more than once go up 2-0 or 3-1 in the series and look dominant and never win another game.

[msstate7]

The hot team that's unbeatable at home just got no-hit.

[Commercecomet24]

Javier did pretty good for a barely .500 pitcher

[SilentSteel16]

So question…. Does a no hitter qualify as embarrassing??

It seems as if I called that one….pissed off Verlander tomorrow, then Valdez in Houston… hmmmm

Root Root baby

[SilentSteel16]

Whether it's the Cardinals, MSU, or the Mississippi Braves I only ask two things:

1. Don't get no hit

2. Don't get shut out

[Homedawg]

I am, homedog34, 13 ppg

No, I'm homedAWg and I'm 1-0 vs you. Carry on again

You're an M-braves fan? What you think about justyn-Henry Malloy?

[parabrave]

You're an M-braves fan? What you think about justyn-Henry Malloy?

I met him in Biloxi, he gonna be good.

[NaborhoodDawg]

LMc was tipping his pitches big time. Phillies need to win tonight to stay alive with it heading back to Houston.

[Todd4State]

You're an M-braves fan? What you think about justyn-Henry Malloy?

Of course I pull for the hometown team! First pro baseball game I went to was a Jackson Mets game and Daryl Strawberry hit a home run.

Henry-Malloy is legit. Probably starts out in AAA unless he kills it in spring training but should find a spot as corner outfielder or infielder some point soon and looks like a great player.

[WhiskeyPirate]

Theyve decided to walk Harper and Marsh every at bat, so far it’s working.

[Commercecomet24]

Looks like the "hot" team has switched places lol

Apparently they've "cooled" now.

Ooooooo Whiskey. just gonna leave this here

[Homedawg]

No, it?s going back to Houston , 3-2 Phillies and they just need to split, which they will

Well, to your credit, you got one part right in this thread, it's going back to Houston....

He will probably start the season in Pearl but be in Gwinnett by halfway into the season/

[msstate7]

Thank Todd and parabrave. Right now the farm is a little bare, so I'm Malloy is who I'm really watching. He's in Arizona fall league playing well last I checked

[parabrave]

Thank Todd and parabrave. Right now the farm is a little bare, so I'm Malloy is who I'm really watching. He's in Arizona fall league playing well last I checked

well there is a logjam at AAA. Remember they traded 4 players from pearl and Gwinett this year. The Pearl roster will be filled with alot of new blood next year/

[SilentSteel16]

Alvarez……..Joboo likes the fast ball
