Hell of a game
Pip's Invitation

Every game's gonna be down to the wire like this, isn't it?
What a loser. They should call that a strike.

They really need to make that a rule that it's a strike or automatic out for doing that. Back when I played that got you a real beanball next pitch. Want to get on base by getting hit fine we'll give it to ya. Obviously can't do that in that situation though. Props for the Ump making the right call there.

Absolutely. Man, I love this Phillies team. Been a fan since 1982. Good game 1.

I think not calling it a strike pissed Robertson off and got him to refocus.

Because the Phillies only need to win 3 and the Astros need to win 4. That's why they're favored.

And 3 of the next 4 are at home, and Wheeler is starting the fourth one.
The Phillies have not lost any home games in the playoffs. They have also, probably despite not being favored in any of them, not lost any games started by pitchers other than Wheeler and Nola. (The NLDS loss was a Wheeler start and the NLCS loss was a Nola start.)
There's been plenty of sereis' where one team is so heavily favoured that they remain favoured even being down in the series. With Houston being such a heavy fave, I thought they still might be even after this game.
Isn't Wheeler starting tonight?

Yes. That’s “the fourth one.” In other words, the one that’s not at home:

Given the nature of the MLB playoffs and Philly hot streak, not making them the favorite after 1 game would be weird.

Is there anyone in all of MLB with a more punchable face than Bregman?

This... is a simple game. You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.

If segura and schwarber had just hit it a couple feet to the left, this is a one run game…

Astros are apparently good at choking. How does he not make that play?

That was awfully reminiscent of the infamous Buckner error of 1986. Fortunately for them, they had a big enough lead that it didn't matter.

Footballguy
I was thinking the same thing. Buckner had a much easier play though.

If we count the crowd at these Astros games, it's definitely Ted Cruz

Not easy when you have ankles made out of papier-mache.

I love how FOX casually glossed over last night Maldanado using an illegal bat Game 1 and MLB just said "Oh no worries you just can't use the bat." No punishment, no fine no suspension. Also Valdez kept going to his hands and glove even changes shoes and glove a lot? Thats not suspicious at all.
My other favorite line yesterday was how Dusty Baker was the right fit for this team. No really guys he's use to managing Cheaters. Barry Bonds anyone? Dusty was one of the managers in the PED era handing them out to his players like candy no different then Tony LaRussa.

Umpire Pat Hoberg made history with a perfect game in the World Series and MLB fans were in awe
A legend at the top of his game.
ftw.usatoday.com
"According to Umpire Scorecards, Hoberg made World Series history by calling a perfect game behind the plate. Out of the 129 taken pitches in the game, Hoberg made the correct call on every single one of them."

If Maldonado became a pro one season earlier his bat would be legal.... not that big of deal
Ron Swanson
Footballguy
Bless your heart. Go 'Stros!
Plus the bat is only illegal because of splintering reasons..........not performance reasons. This is really a non-issue. Probably why it was "glossed over"

This postponed game helps the Phils. They can now skip Thor in the rotation which is huge IMO.
