I was happy thinking their 5-9 were almost free outs. That being said, we have to get through the top of their order.. that's the heart of the team and the only strength they have over us. We are better in every other way.

If Javier starts Game 4 he could also be back for Game 7 on 3 days rest. I don't think you can go wrong either way with the order for LMJ and Javier.

It was like being in the emergency room waiting to find out if someone is going to be ok and the 3 doubles to leadoff the 1st was like finding out that he's still alive.

October 30, 20223 yr I'm not sure why Altuve agreed to do this right after the game but it's a pretty good watch.
October 30, 20223 yr Author Yeah just watched that on TV, fuckin great interview. I literally love Jose Altuve.

Philly can’t do anything these boys haven’t seen, heard, and thrived on.
October 30, 20223 yr this thread needs this before game 3. one day to refocus, then go up 2-1 .... Edited October 30, 20223 yr by tx 3 putt

October 30, 20223 yr Radio post game show guys put it perfectly (after another Montero call) : an Astros reliever pitched in the 8th, and gave up no runs end of story

October 30, 20223 yr Alex Bregman has the most postseason homers and RBI by a third baseman in MLB history. HR: 1. Bregman 14 2. Justin Turner 13 3. Chipper Jones 11 RBI: 1. Bregman 43 2. Turner 42 3. Jones 39

If you had told 15 year old Fudge Nuggets that 35 years later the leader for 3B with most postseason homers and RBIs was a 28 year old Astro I would never believe you. Of course I would not have known the playoffs expanded like they have but so be it.

October 30, 20223 yr I had to work so could only steal glances at the game tonight but am currently watching the replay. It feels to me like we've outplayed them decisively these two games in Houston and should/could be up 2-0 easily. Of course, all they really hoped for in Houston was a split and they got it. So, my surly Astros brethren, how are we feeling right now after this win in game 2?
October 30, 20223 yr Game 3 is a must win, for both teams short leash on lmj, backed up by Garcia Edited October 30, 20223 yr by tx 3 putt
October 30, 20223 yr Mauricio Dubón is the first Honduran born player to appear in a World Series game.
October 30, 20223 yr I don't know if anyone touched on this earlier but Yordan deserves some healthy nods and backslaps for his hustle in the bottom 5th when he hit that grounder that forced out Altuve at second and then busted his ass out of the box down the line. June/July Yordan is probably making a right turn to the dugout after GIDP'ing but his hustle on that play left the door open for Bregman and Bregman did not miss the opportunity to come up big. Love to see it.

Also, whatever unfortunate wench bore your children will have cuckolded you by then, most likely leaving you for an Astros fan. I assume she will have done this because you are as shitty at sex as you are at talking trash.

We are all admittedly assholes, but there are a couple of points of etiquette even we assholes observe. Keep CR in CR, and don’t shit talk in team season threads. Keep these things in their proper place. Blatant violation of these unwritten rules deserves swift negging every time.
October 30, 20223 yr How we win is by great pitching and timely hitting. I’d love for us to score 7/8 runs a game the rest of this series and if we did we would win 4-1, but we’ve been this way all playoff long so I’m just expecting 5 maybe 6 runs to get it done. I’m dreading the next verlander start. I’m curious why he blows so bad in the postseason his entire career? Is he just more relaxed in the regular season and tenses up? He screams confidence way more than nervous so it’s odd.
October 30, 20223 yr I think he runs out of steam by and end of the season and I also think his lack of a great breaking ball hurts him in the playoffs. If his control isn't on point, he gets in to trouble when he can't throw high fastballs where he wants them. Edited October 30, 20223 yr by kevwun
October 30, 20223 yr They should start Javier in Game 3. He's been on fire. Need a hot hand to survive the surge of Philly playing their first World Series Game at home in like 40 years. McCullers is going to to battle, but he'll get tagged for 3-4 runs in the process.
