2022 Postseason

[rok]

I don’t know a single Houstonian who is originally from there. No one cares about the Astros.

Thanks Dusty!



Houston probably still wins the series but pretty nice start for Philly. The only saving grace in a Houston WS win would be Dusty getting his ring as a manager but if there's a chance Phillies can win this, Dusty is a part of that chance.

You know an offense powered by the long ball might work in the playoffs.  

Guessing that GMs have to take into account climate change so warmer October/Novembers into their playoff models 

Phillies have 15 HRs through the playoffs so far - Game 3 in 2nd inning

Phillies in 6.

From Stark’s Weird & Wild column in Athletic regarding last night’s game:

“Cristian Javier: He’s Mr. Unhittable!

Over his last six starts, he’s allowed a total of seven hits! Let’s put that in perspective. The ace-type pitcher he faced Wednesday night, Aaron Nola, allowed seven hits in this game — and only faced 20 hitters.

Batting average of the unfortunate hitters who have faced this man in those seven starts: .067! Yep, you read that right. Over those six starts (but not counting relief appearances), opposing hitters have gone 7 for 105 against Javier. Seriously. That’s 7 for 105! The Rockies’ Antonio Senzatela owns a lifetime batting average of .067. He’s a pitcher. So Cristian Javier has turned this entire sport into one gigantic Antonio Senzatela.”

That’s unbelievable

And Verlander is pitching for Houston tonight

Hopefully the Phillies can bounce back from that. Really not wanting to see the Astros celebrate...

Welp. Uphill battle, but the Cubs went back to Cleveland down 2-3, so anything can happen...
