    Once again there’s no other format that would make this nonsense be any different lol. If you take a road game in game 1 that’s the whole point. Try thinking about that for awhile. It’s literally common sense

    The team succeeds in spite of Dusty.

    Mancini still batting.

    Stanek available and goes with Luis Garcia? Wtf.

    Man Dusty made all the WRONG moves today. From leaving JV in too long, to going to Garcia way too early.

    Astros now 3 outs away from being 3-10 at home in the World Series.

    You know how incredibly difficult it is to be that inept?

    I still don’t understand why Montero didn’t pitch another inning. Then Pressly would’ve been in for the 10th. Phillies manager unloaded his bullpen and it’s gonna payoff.

    They lost it not having the short leash on JV. Someone should have been ready to go in pen after 3 runs...

    We've seen it too many times... Dusty being stubborn and set in his ways...

    Do the math, JV's start in game 5 on the road is an automatic L.

    Hell Dusty might be stupid enough to start him on 3 days rest for game 4.

    You need to win 4 of the other 5 games

    Good luck with that.

    Three reasons Dusty left in Verlander.

    1) He wanted Verlander to go 5 innings to qualify for the win.

    2) Verlander was perfect through 3 innings, so he probably thought he could regain his control.

    3) The Astros were still leading after the 4th inning.

    1 run is too much to overcome tonight for our tight, pressing, choking hitters.

    What in the blue f@ck are you talking about?

    A tie game in the 10th inning is not high leverage to you?
