Does anyone know whether they would keep the Friday/Saturday schedule for games 6&7 if this game is postponed. If so, don't you give the ball to JV and Framber for games 4 and 5 on normal rest and save Javier for a potential game 6? Either way, you are looking at a Garcia start in game 7 or LMJ on short rest, which I can't think they'd want to do.

Probably saving that for the pregame sex TikTok.

This was ok, but I blew a golden opportunity. Should’ve said that was the Yankees ALCS experience video.

Sure. Game 5 would be on Thursday which is currently a travel day.

You can’t decide at fucking 3:30 if the game can be played at 7 tonight 

fuck that 

Even worse. It's 2:30 for a 7 game. The meeting is at 3:30 ET for an 8 ET game.

can you imagine spending a lengthy rain delay in that ballpark with a bunch of drunken, obnoxious, soaking wet philly fans?  i'd rather go trick-or-treating with wulaw's family.

Trick or treating doesn't even register in my memory bank of bonding experiences that I had with my father. 

Cause he blew you off to do something else LOL

Is there any reason why Vazquez should not be plugged in the DH role? There is no legit justification for trotting Aledmys or Mancini out there. All of Vazquez’s numbers this season and past history of making clutch hits in the playoffs is calling for his use. 

Diaz and Mancini are both better hitters than Vazquez.  If we're going to make changes based off small recent samples, why would you choose Vazquez?  He's rocking a 28 wRC+ since coming to the Astros, so he's sucked too.

#30562

In addition to how scary the crowd is going to be, I keep hearing about the Phillies impressive 47-34 record at home this year.  Anyone want to guess our road record?

51-30

That will be the first of many meetings. There must have been 5 of them before the delayed game against the Yankees.

Mancini isn't a better hitter than anyone right now.

They’re something like 27-14 at home after the ASG and through the post season. They play well at home but we love to wreck shit on the road in front of a raucous crowd.

i know we've been dealing with hostile crowds since the scandal, but let's be real - the astros have been historically great on the road since 2017.  altuve's numbers on the fucking road that season were insanity.  across the board, it was pretty nonsensical, which makes the "astros are probably still somehow cheating at home" narrative sound even sillier.

when you have a close-knit family oriented team and add in an "us vs everybody" attitude, you get a good, focused road team.  let's score first, last, and often.

Yes. If you Ph for Maldy or he gets hurt then you lose the DH for the rest of the game. If they were going to consider that they would have carried a 3rd catcher. Hensley is the answer imo.

are we really expected to get work done today? Is it 7 yet? 

 

I participated in the Halloween potluck.  Otherwise, I've been staring at my phone and doing the easiest "work" I can think of, like mindless compliance modules.

We are going to win.

#30573

The forecast doesn't look promising.  It's gonna be really shitty baseball weather if they do try to delay it because the light rain chances are above 70% until 3:00am.  Looks much better tomorrow, so they might just cancel it.

So, it sure would be nice to drop an 11-2 on them tonight.

9-2. If we score more than 10 we might not score another run this season.

Would it be any worse having the pitcher hit instead of Diaz or Mancini?

She didn’t schedule Halloween to be during the World Series and we unfortunately live out in the sticks where it’s virtually impossible to trick or treat. She indulges all my nonsense unless and until it interferes with the children. Then it’s a complete and total non starter. 

Tell her “Handle it, woman.”. Trick or treating doesn’t require any significant feats of strength and I’m pretty sure even the female brain can figure it out.

Here's the account that sent out the weather updates last series.  Nothing so far today.

Damn good way to get a quiet hotel room to watch the entire series…hmmmm.

I remember last year the Braves sent out a tweet to their fans saying “Do not boo them, do not heckle them, you know what… done even look at them.  They thrive off hostility.”. And so far they are the only ones to have any home success against us.

I’m glad Phillie fan is stupid.

I think most of us have experience with this kind of corporate bureaucracy. They had a meeting at 3ET to decide that they would have another meeting at 5ET where they will confirm that they hope to decide at another meeting at 6:30ET.

And all three meetings could have been an email.

Hoping for a better forecast in a couple hours, but leaning toward canceling it I bet.  Delaying won't help and the current forecast points to a likely game stoppage at some point which they don't want.
