Side note: The "Drew Thompson" season of Justified was awesome.

Love that one of the replies calls the catch "the Bank robbery."

I just realized how sad Joe Buck must be right now and it pretty much made my whole day.

Has Montero run out of gas like Will Harris did in 2019? Landry and the OG made that comparison to Hinch sticking with Harris in Games 6 and 7 which cost us that series. I thought it was a good question to ask and something that Dusty should consider and not repeat Hinch’s mistake. I know Montero was in the top 4 of our best relievers during the season. If there is nothing left in the tank, the Stanek has to get his innings.

I regret that I have only one rep to give for this post…although it doesn’t really take the sting out of having to listen to “Serial killer” Joe Davis and Smaltz (not a typo). Couldn’t figure out why I was so weirded out by Joe Davis (other than his takes) until my wife said he has dead eyes. That comment really tied the room together.

I just watched the replay again thankful that this was not a game where Chas moved to left and Dubon was brought in to play center. No way Dubon makes that catch. The baseball gods smiled down on us for once.

I’ve been in and out of my car all morning and based on the ramblings of the MLB radio network you would think Phillie win the series last night. Everything has been about how great their obnoxious crowd was. 

Fuck them. 

Yeah can confirm, they've been mostly yapping about the series from the Philly perspective and a whole lot of "what coulda been" analysis but Jenny Cavnar on Unassisted this morning was pretty adamant about the Stros winning this series in 6. It still blows my mind how their hosts conveniently forget how badly the Astros blew game 1 and frame it as a game Philly won from their strength (homers) when they needed a JV error and a Castellanos web gem in the bottom of the 9th to eke that game out. 

The Phillies have not really been in control of any game without the advantage of knowing tipped pitches from Lance McCullers.

Both Montero and Pressly are on fumes. Makes pitching them with a 5-0 lead in Game 4 seem less intelligent, when you have a fully rested Hunter Brown that could have gone 3 innings by himself. One of the big reasons the Astros won in 2017 was Dave Roberts pitching his top end bullpen guys in almost every game, and the Astros finally got to them in Game 5.

We had one extra day off this year.

…and the Phillies didn’t get to us in game 5.

She interviewed some asshole at the airport and the entire thing was about the crowd being insane and how were they heckling JV and blah blah fucking blah.  Her guest was a loser.

That was Spillborgs I think but even he was like "nah this shit is over."

Certainly more important given the circumstances, but Chas' catch had a much, much greater degree of difficulty.

I don't know, man. That was a helluva snag on a short-hop screamer at the nuts by Mancini. He did an exceptional job staying low to the ball and not letting it eat him up. 

Statcast had the Schwarber out as a 98.7 exit velo with an XBA of .560 and the Realmuto flyout to Chas at 102.4 and an XBA 0f .690.

I hesitate to post this for possible jinx reasons but the Astros are currently 6/1 to win it all. Mack could do some tasty hedging if he chose to do so. 

rigged!  some butthurt in the comments

And did Pete Alexander have to deal with a football crowd at a baseball game?

I doubt it.

Old Pete Alexander also threw two CGs that World Series, but his walk-in music sucked.

Pena made 2 bad ass plays also with the liner he snagged jumping off of Castellanos....that gets by its likely a double and a run scored. And the other, as a former shortstop,  seeing him attack that high hopper and throw on the run to get the guy out by half a step was clutch. Any sort of false movement, bobble, whatever, and runner is safe.

Defense wins championships

Yeah that was his best play last night imho. Too many SS would have waited for the bounce, and would have had no shot to get the runner, if they could even field the bounce in the first place. Charging it hard and taking it in the air was the perfect move and was the only reason he was able to get him. Used that one as a teachable moment for my kid. Pena has great instincts and is only going to get better. Look forward to watching his development.

I haven’t had a drop of alcohol during the WS. I think I drank 4 of the first 7 games of the playoffs. 
should I pour a glass of scotch to coincide with first pitch today or nah? 

Well, did you drink or no?

I have this same question about Abreu, Montero, and Pressly. They've seen these guys consistently for the past few games. They're gonna catch up eventually.

What are the chances of the roof being open tomorrow? Is there a good way to track it? 

It will be open so God can see and can cut em down

The roof will be closed to selectively allow Astros homeruns but not phillies homeruns.  And also, the crowd will be impossibly loud with the roof closed.  How can the phillies even play in such an environment?

And visa versa. And our guy are better.

it's a little frustrating because the astros got where they are because of pitching, defense, and timely hitting.  that's how we won last night, and most of the postseason.  mancini and chassy fizz made their plays, hoskins did not.  i think the sane mlb journalism world (non-astros haters) wanted philly to win last night to make a game 7 and an amazing series much more probable.

now, heading home with the series lead, framber on the mound, momentum, is making us look like heavy favorites, which makes their little dream less likely.  philly is a good team on a great run, but we need to end it tomorrow. 

it's a nice story and i can appreciate that, but people die in fairy tales all the time.

Of course, it will be open.  How can you see the victory fireworks with it closed?

I don’t know who Andy Grammar is but the other two legends will bring the ruckus

Love REK, but I’d prefer Beyoncé in some Astros gear….with Jay Z in the stands crying into his Yankees hat.

The sound is on but the drone of my old lady talking about fondue sets on sale at Williams Sonoma and her asking me where the player named “WITH RISP” is from tends to drown out Smoltz and his boyfriend.

Well REK damn sure isn’t making any best country/western singer list.
