It’s nice that Dusty’s in-game decisions didn’t factor negatively in this game and is not a topic of conversation tonight. Hope that continues. Aledmys should not have another AB  in this series.

Why?  Only Maldonado can call a good game. All our teams pitching success is due to Maldy. 

I think it was earlier this season when Abreu was struggling that Machete threatened him with getting sent back to Sugar Land. How far he has come.

Happily pondering what unfolded in Philly tonight. Amazing performance on the mound. Seldom will you see a more drastic shift in the vibe of a series. Still a long way from over, obviously, but I'm feeling way better than six hours ago.

Just like yesterday didn't matter today, today won't matter tomorrow.  We need a great start from JV (he's due) and some long-overdue hitting.  Maybe kick their ass so badly that we put in Will Smith, just to make them feel even worse.

Can we talk about Pina for a second? He has struck 0 times in the postseason.  Has caught a ton of shit but he shines under the big lights.

If you would have told me in March that we would have a deep playoff run and experience zero drop-off from Correa at the SS position, I would have put you on ignore for having very dumb baseball opinions.  
 

shit.  I totally misread this.  Yes… If you would have told me in August that Piña would be our most consistent hitter in the postseason… same as above.

You should see how this thread was shitting on him all year long. KInda makes you wonder why Dusty sticks with veterans like him and Aledmys.......

Weird to realize you and I are cheering for the same team. No offense intended.

Yep. Enjoy it tonight, but tomorrow, fuck the past.

I thought I also heard in his post game that his family told him he would throw a no hitter today.  
 

I hope they can also talk to JV. 

Kate should tell him that he won’t be hitting that unless he pitches well.

Getting serious 2017 WS vibes. 

Tomorrow is Verlander's Uncle Charlie Game 7 start. 

It's now or never Justin.  Now or never.

Close the deal.

 

 

biggest game of his career. if we don't win tomorrow, all this doesn't mean shit

Given Verlander's World Series futility, game 5 is way too monumental to find out if he can get out of a jam. The Phillies will be handing the ball over to their bullpen early in the game most likely, so its not the worst thing in the world for us to do the same if needed. Dusty needs to have a short leash on Verlander.

My sunny-side-up disposition says the pitching coaches have said the same and dared Verlander to pitch like his life depended on it....and he is up to the challenge.

Charlie didn’t start
Game 7 of the ALCS. Charlie shut down the Yankees after being blown up in NY in Game 3. LMJ got the save with those legendary 24 curveballs in a row.

Of course, the Charlie/LMJ roles were reversed in Game 7 of the World Series, and that's probably what you're thinking of.
