Let's go win a few in Philly

---

I still think we get 2.

Porkchop please tell me your crystal ball has 2/3 minimum for the Stros in Philly

I feel good 1-1 after getting to their two aces and seeing a lot of their bullpen

Need to take advantage of their garbage number 3 and 4 starters….unfortunately our hitting has shown reluctance to do well against crappy pitchers on occasion

Time for Phily to get their own rude awakening about the road warrior Stros.

FINAL .. pitching will be important in the next 3 games. They seen way to much Montero and Pressly. They were able to use 4 new pitcher today and their bullpen is limiting their pitches very well.

Game 2 - Let's go Stros
Astros Pitcher Game 2
Framber Valdez (L) (G2: IP 6.1/104p)
Rafael Montero (G2: IP 1.2/33p) (G1: IP 1.0/8p)
Ryan Pressly (G2: IP 1.0/18) (G1: IP 1.0/15p)

Phillies Pitcher Game 2
Zack Wheeler (G2: IP 5.0/69p)
Andrew Bellatti (G2: IP 1.0/11p)
Connor Brogdon (G2: IP 1.0/14p)
Brad Hand (L) (G2: IP 1.0/12p)

----------------------------------------------------
G1 Astros Pitcher G1
Justin Verlander (G1: IP 5.0/90p)
Bryan Abreu (G1: IP 1.2/32p)
Hector Neris (G1: IP 0.1/5p)

Yeah, we honestly roughed up their two aces. If that's the best they have, their pitching is going to be in tatters by game 4.

Let's goooo!

If that's their 1-2, hahaha.

Tonight I stayed off the thread and followed on my phone. May have to keep doing that.

Happy we got the win but this series is def going 6/7

Crazy final 2 innings but glad we held on

Still keeping to my original prediction, STROS IN 6

3 more!!!

Could we just skip JV and go straight to Framber?

Framber has that dog in him...JV, not sure what happened to him as he used to be the alpha but something is up and I'm not sure it's as simple as the World Series curse.

I just hope Mother Nature doesn't screw around and postpone games but then again, we seem to see Wheeler and Nola pretty well so maybe postponement will backfire on the dip**** Phillies.

Or that guy who has 3 WS wins.

So do we see Javier or LMJ on Monday? Both are cold blooded assassins.

Edit: Dusty says LMJ.

I'd go Javier personally.

I think I would, too. But having both is a luxury.

Yuli giving me Buckner flashes on that error. Between that and JP3/Altuve misplay I may not survive this series

Jv one time through the order, then piggy back with urquidy?

Monterro struggled in the 8th, seemed like a good time for Stanek. Any theories as to why Dusty suddenly won't use him in high leverage situations?
