Chas at least has produced this postseason. Dusty putting Diaz back in the lineup after he's done nothing, had a horrible at-bat to end Game 1,...
Honestly? I have a bad feeling. My heart wants this to be the 2021 ALCS all over again, but my head tells me it'll be the 2021 World Series.
Credit to the Mariners. They bounced back in Game 2. The Astros won that one, but it was a close game and they had a shot at tying it up in the...
I get that mentality and believe me, the thought of preserving the bullpen crossed my mind. But ultimately, that's a defeatist approach. It comes...
Game 7 is the only one that seems uncertain if it goes that far. My gut tells me Dusty thanks to his undying loyalty will stick with McCullers.
Is this a new development or did McCullers do this in Game 4 of the ALCS too?
I think that's what frustrated me the most. Lance getting lit up was bad enough, but I'm still having trouble processing that there were zero...
Agreed. Javier wouldn't have gotten lit up, but he would've been wasted on a night the Astros 1-5 hitters looked completely disengaged. Hopefully...
This is the biggest one. Dusty must treat tonight like Game 7. EVERY SINGLE PITCHER is available out of that bullpen. No, you don't go to...
Game 4 is a must win. They ain't coming back from 3-1.
Stick with Hensley, Dusty. He at least got a hit.
Urquidy acquitted himself well tonight. If there's any positives from this game is that he shook off the rust, Dusty knows he's got an alternative...
I'm not worried about Javier. I'm worried about our offense. One hit total from the top 5 in your lineup isn't gonna beat anyone in the World Series.
Dusty has done a poor job, but let's not ignore the 1-5 hitters not showing up tonight. Lance could've pitched a shutout after that Harper HR in...
Urquidy was shaky early(understandable having not pitched all postseason), but he's looked pretty solid. Granted, the Phillies hitters know this...
If Lance pitches Game 7, it would be a bullpen game anyway the way he's been going his last two starts.
He's lined up to pitch Game 7 if this series goes the distance. Dusty has other options like Garcia(assuming he isn't used in relief before then)....
I'd say the 7-0 loss last year in Game 6 of the World Series was worse. That one eliminated us. At least we get another crack at it tomorrow.
His pitching moves have been horrible this series. Going with Garcia over Stanek in Game 1 handed the Phillies the game. And he got lucky with...
That's the one thing I'm clinging to for hope. The Astros got destroyed in 2 straight games and looked dead in the water. But they held on just...
