Biggest takeaway from this game. Philly can't hit high fastballs and a good change up off of it down in the zone.
Remind JV before game 5

Maldonado literally catches pitches for a living but can't pick up a slider nowhere close to the plate while hitting.
He ain't the only one.

There's got to be a moral victory in this game somewhere.


The moral victory is this game has to end at some point and can't go on indefinitely

Then we have Javier, JV and Framber starting which should fill some with confidence


What I hope is this game shows some holes with them and fastballs.

Javier could mow tomorrow.

Philly offense since LMJ was pulled:

1 for 9 with a single
5 Ks, 1BB

Interesting….


Maybe Lance was paid off to tip his pitches

He'll go away from it and shake Maldy off after 2 innings

I wish the players would talk a bit more **** to the bad umpire calls. At least bring attention to it.

Kyle Gibson shouldn't be able to do that to us in the WS.

Same offense that no-showed in last year's version.

Can't even blame Lance for this one at this point.


But the Braves have one of the best bullpens.

So this is even worse.


Much. It boggles the mind.

I wish it did, but this is who these guys have been all year. Score five/hit multiple homers early or pack it up and go home, outside of three or four games. It wasn't hard to know all year that if the pitching faltered, so would the team.

They could totally hit six homers tomorrow and walk away with it. Who knows. But after watching this and knowing two more are in Philly, I'm not seeing 2019 and 2021 as outliers.

This take was dumb the first 4000 times you said it.

Yes, if a team's pitching falters in the World Series, it's not likely to win. Why do you think that only applies to the 2022 Astros?

I feel like smoltz is trying to change the narrative. They saw too many pitches in the same spot? Bull***** How many of those hr's were first pitch?


Smoltz knows exactly what's going on. But it doesn't help baseball or his career to state the obvious. A guy that gives up 4 HR's in 47 innings doesn't just give up 5 HR's in 5 innings because a team is "hot".

Schwarber and Harper figured it out in first inning, info that was passed from Cora to Schwarber on LMJ. By the time it got passed down, game over by 2nd and 5th innings.

Baker is slow to adjust and that just doesn't hunt in the World Series

I guess the moral victory is we didn't waste a bunch of arms and scored 0 runs?

And the Stros did it to Darvish. Freaking pissed that our guys didn't figure it out first.

This... Get Urquidy to finish this out or worst case use Will Smith and that is a big win

We scored more runs in the 5th than any other inning.

Well, it appears through is short stay with the Sox, Cora is gonna get back at the Stros as much as much including sharing what he can on our pitching staff with guys like Schwarber. So yeah, gotta be expecting this kind of thing.

The catcher knows when a loser is coming - a batter doesn't know. Pretty big difference.

Is this like having two QBs?

How they didn't pick up the tipping is criminal

Yup. Luckily they're not the ones that attend games. Not much different between average sports fans in most cities.
