Make no mistake this can significantly benefit Philly.

Baseball is a long game and winning or losing over a season is based on pitching depth. It's not the same game when you only need 3 starters.

Our significant advantage just got largely neutralized.

I turned on Fox at 7p expecting to see the World Series and, hand to God, I thought the 911 show was some sort of attempted comedy parody ala Conan hosting the Emmys. That show looks awful.

Bottom line is this. If Javier and McCullers do their job, this won't matter.

It seems like you're being intentionally dense. Of course if they pitch perfectly, it won't matter. However, we have a distinct advantage in the depth of our pitching staff vs theirs. Their serviceable arms now have an extra day of rest which helps to negate our advantage.


Not trying to be. I just don't get the woe is me everything is a disadvantage to us attitude people have. This 2022 team has proven they don't flinch at anything.


Gotta deal with the card your dealt. If this buries the Astros then they weren't going to win anyways.

If this goes the distance Astros still have a better staff

Did Ben Dubose suddenly lock his page down? Now I can't see his tweets. Follow request sent, but I've never had that happen before.

Maybe I got blocked lol?

Philly 1 and 2 starters had a week rest after the NLCS and we still put up 10 runs on them. I'm not buying this extra day does anything, because Astros will still mash.

My thoughts exactly. They have to hit whoever is out there regardless.

I mean, I get that they get to throw their best pitcher again. But we already roughed him up and he's going to go twice on short rest if this goes 7? He's no Bumgardner. We will light him up.

Well sucks to not have a game tonight. Cleared my evening for nothing. Now I just have to listen to the dogs bark at trick or treaters all night.

No kidding. I put bug spray on, got a drink, and loaded up my pipe for a nice stressful evening on the porch for nothing.

I don't think the delay completely wipes out or pitching advantage, it just helps Philly because they can throw their better pitchers.

We've already shown we can hit Nola and Wheeler. I think the difference is getting 4-5 runs off a second tier starter compared to 3 off their top guys. Either way, we still hold the advantage. It just makes Philly a little stronger.

Would Suarez be expected to go 5 or is game 3 still a bullpen game?

The delay definitely benefits the Phillies. Instead of Thor then Johnny Fullstaff in games 3 and 4, they can throw Suarez and Nola. That right there is an upgrade.

OTOH, we will get another look at Nola, so if there is a game 7, we will see him 3 times in about a week. You have seen what the Astros can do against a pitcher they have seen a lot

Just heard a report on ESPN saying the same thing; basically that this postponement significantly helps the Phillies pitching rotation. Didn't sound good.


I think we all know by now that ESPN will do whatever they can to make the Astros seem at a disadvantage.

One thing we aren't talking about. Will Smith gets buried in the bullpen depth chart with the extra day's rest. I think that swings the entire series in our favor.

I think playing on a dry day benefits LMJ due to his reliance on spin

He struggled a bit during the wet start in NY

Is 100% does. This would be like replacing an Odo start with a Framber one.

Rainout helps the Phillies. Still won't matter.
