That could have been it right there!

Really, Philly Phans???

 

(ok, always some folks like that in every park, but, c'mon — already proved they can put up a crooked number in the late innings)

Well, if your offense is gonna suck, make it epic, so you can get pissed and come back roaring back in game 5.

 

And they did suck - they didn't hit more than 1 ball hard all night...

 

See, Phils fan logic - our team sucked - it wasn't the good pitching:).

Cristian Javier can pitch in relief too. He'll be ready to pitch somewhere for a game 7 if it gets there. He has been scary good this season and people didn't notice because he wasn't guaranteed a spot in the rotation for large stretches of it.

Well, Game 7's are always All Hands On Deck, World Series Game 7's doubly so.  I remember Randy Johnson coming back on no-days rest for to close out the Diamondbacks WS win.

 

Still, point very much taken, as I know exactly what you meant.  Diff between being able to throw three or so innings versus 1 or so inning.

To put it another way:  Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher.

 

[Menor the Destroyer]

Gotta send some momentum JV's way. Would be a perfect time to break his WS curse.

[lorddemaxus]

Just realized Munich and Kingdom of Heaven came out in the same year. Pretty cool stuff

Astros: 3-0 in WS game 5

JV: his team has only won one of his WS starts which was G2 2017 and took a million extra inning homers to do so

 

something will break tradition

[ChipDerby]

A tremendous pitching performance last night.

The backlash after he started calling out woke culture and far left liberals is not surprising. 

SO glad  you seem to love bigotry so much.

And I am calling out relgious wackjobs who want to force their ignorant beliefs on everybody else.

 

[Menor the Destroyer]

Jeremy Peña, future Astros GOAT. 

[Menor the Destroyer]

JV still shaky tonight but finally got the job done overall, nice to see him at last partially shake off that curse. 

[Porthos]

It's only the end of the sixth inning?  Jesus, this game seems like it has lasted an eternity (in stakes, if not actual length).

[TwoMisfits]

Houston threw one game away, maybe they can do another - Eagles haven't played great, but they'll take the QB gifts and the win...should be finishing up in time for me to actually watch the last 2 innings, I think:).  

[Porthos]

YUGE run there!

 

(yes, thnx Captain Obvious)

[Porthos]

WHAT A CLUTCH CATCH!!!!!!
