Just now tuning in. Did McCullers **** it up or what?
Harper got the first tipped pitch, zero doubt. Then he ran to the on deck guy to tell him what to look for. He got him next. It was a quick 3-0.
The rest has just been wrong-way momentum in a hostile environment. Can't spot a momentum team that lead.
That bad news for the Phillies is that winning by a lot doesn't count for more wins. We tie it back up tomorrow.

And if I'm Dusty I'm starting Vazquez.
Maldy needs to be better. We tout him to be this manager on the field but what he called tonight and in JVs start is baffling. Throw in that he never once called time to visit Lance is not good.
I'm sure a lot of that is pregame strategizing but a lot of it is also inexcusable. Start Vasquez and get his offense in there.
He'll only start with Javier.
You're joking right?
I think it is not a bad use here. He could go long and he finally gets his feet wet this postseason in a low stress situation. It is not if he is done for the rest of the Series.QRI-Ag said:
I don't get wasting Urquidy here.
Whether you guys want to admit it or not…
We're all bleeders now. Internal or external, doesn't matter.

Seriously, how did they only win 87?
They only won a total of 87 but they were a damn good team after firing their manager.
Don't know the exact record but they've been a roll for the entire 2md half.
This didn't just start out of nowhere.
Look at what their deadline acquisitions are doing vs ours
Marsh, Thor, & Robertson?
Getting Harper back at DH and us losing Brantley is much bigger than the deadline but they addressed needs ours missed
no I'm blaming it on the stupid scheduling. Waiting a week to get started then random off day in the middle of the DS followed by almost a full week off for both teams before the WS. MLB is ****ing with the teams this year.jkag89 said:I guess we should have lost a few games in the ADLS & ALCS. Or are you blaming this on the rain out last night?JohnnyTexAg1995 said:
It's almost like playing 9 games in a month doesn't allow you to get in any type of rythmn
I remember last year's ALCS. Boston kicked our ass in games 2 and 3 and looked unbeatable, and yet we bounced back. I'm not panicking…yet.
Anyone interested in seeing Maldanado sit out a game or two?
I think he tries to oversell his frames, shifting the glove up 6-8 inches at times. Just bring it in a few inches and freeze like it was a good pitch to begin with

These guys stretch so many AB's

And Vazquez is no slouch behind the plate.

He will catch for Javier tomorrow.

17 HR is 6 home games… how many do they have on the road
Sounds like their crowd really does matter! It obviously spooked LMJ
Yep. The Sox were picking something up, we figured it out between game 2 and 3, and shut them down.
True, but big difference is we hadn't used Framber yet in that series, and only way he goes again in this series is if we find W the next 2 games in PhillySW-14 said:

Lol, yeah, it's their school spirit

What's special about their crowd? Why didn't New York, Seattle, Chicago, and LA spook him?
You don't think playing extra stressful games every ****ing year doesn't wear on you?BCEDAg said:
You're joking right?
Notice how most of the teams that have won recently weren't in the playoffs the year before or didn't make a long run the year before?
You wouldn't think pitching was our strength with tonight's performance.
Man, this game is tough to watch

And then we ****ing win it all in game 6 or 7
I've got 2 seats in section 120 for game 6 and game 7. ****ing pumped

JV was shaking him off all night, Framber pitched great, Lance was tipping and hanging spinners in the middle.
Vazzy will be starting with Javier tomorrow. Then Maldy with JV on Thursday and Framber on Saturday.
They are louder.
So much for a long outing for Urquidy
Okay if they score two more I might have to call it a night. I think anyone here right now has pretty thick skin, but IMO they score again and it's over.
Still have hope I'd we can get out without a run scoring.

I'm overall not impressed with the crowd
Yeah it goes absolutely bonkers when they hit bombs but other than it's not that bad.
Yankee Stadium seems way more hostile IMO.

I feel like the org does a good job resting our guys and not overexerting them in Spring. Plus we have a **** ton of off days this Oct/Nov.
This one is over, the series is not.
I'm starting to think the AL just sucks.
LMJ tipped. They hit. It's one game.
The big deal right now for the series is the offense. Altuve needs something positive. Yordan, save the double, had been a non factor. They need to figure that out.

I effing hate that we didn't play yesterday
Nobody ever said postseason baseball since they went to divisional play was fair.TayTrox said:
Best overall team running into a hot team. Same ****, different year. Yay baseball.

Getting embarrassed or not how can anyone not watch their team in the WS?
