I swear on my life if dusty would make a change I’d blow him and take one for Astro nation.

Uh, holy shit. 

[Gut Wagon 8,105]

I'm fine with that walk.

Kinda feel like that was a make up call

[Macklemore 2,881]

Ok he settled down a bit.

[CycleTex87 2,991]

Yep no more damage. 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,242]

So the called ball one on Harper looks like a strike.  

[Guest]

shaky strike zone favors the Phillies.

Our batters are more disciplined and pitchers more talented.

HPU is equalizer.

and Ball 3.

[TexArcher 38,409]

Not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind a little 6-spot here.

[CycleTex87 2,991]

Even in the best of times JV has been susceptible to a solo homer

[Dnaguy 12,328]

He can suck my Schwor-sack with his dirty Schwor mouth.

What a dumb inning transition Fox.

LOL. Wtf?

Don’t quote that psychopath 

[Dnaguy 12,328]

Ball down?

uhhh.

[Macklemore 2,881]

These ABs of ours after the first 2 hits suck

[billfromlaketravis 11,601]

So Smoltz walked into Peña fucking his wife, right? 

[Wulaw Horn 19,236]

This doesn’t feel super promising right now. 

[cabowabo 4,578]

How many ball fours have we swung at so far?

[Dnaguy 12,328]

A rare bad at bat by tuck.

How are we swinging at these high fastballs that are nowhere close to the zone. 

[Dnaguy 12,328]

The Astros at bat right now look like me trying to get my dick wet for the first time,

They are way to anxious and stabbing at it very aggressively.

Gross

[Rockethorn1978 6,153]

Awesome. Astros are gonna make syndergaard look like a CY young dominant pitcher tonight.

[TexArcher 38,409]

How about a 1-2-3, JV?

He's always been susceptible to a 1st inning run or two.  He might settle in and give us a few zeroes.

[Macklemore 2,881]

Our manager and hitting coach need to do tell the batters start working the count and lay off the high fastball

[Guest]

Probable Cy Young winner on the mound...

and I can't fucking wait until  Dusty gets into the bullpen.

weird feeling, but JV makes me nervous AF.  Very little confidence in his elusivity of pitches.

absolutely willing to be proven wrong.

Edited November 4, 2022 by slorch

[YChang 3,472]

Come on, 3 up 3 down JV. Pretty please. 

[TexArcher 38,409]

Jesus, he gets a few easy outs then throws one right down the middle to ice cold Segura.

Is this a concentration thing?

Shit.

 Verlander is A cy young winner and Phillies have him timed and are barely missing.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19,242]

2nd pitch to Marsh is a strike.

[Macklemore 2,881]

Throw strikes asshole

He’s 3-4 miles slower in his fastball. 
Isn’t able to locate his pitches.

And is always just one pitch away from throwing a 94 mph down the middle / having anyone in the lineup putting it in the parking lot.

[cabowabo 4,578]

He doesn’t have it tonight. Get someone up now. 

[David Dennison 19,117]

Bold strategy. 

JFC

[Dark Horse 2,335]

Fuckin A

[royiv 9,447]

Fuck. Schwarber up with 2 on. What could go wrong?

[Planet Houston 4,943]

Can’t let 8 and 9 to reach with 2 outs. Cmon JV. Please please please. 

[YChang 3,472]

Yeeeesh, come on 

[billfromlaketravis 11,601]

Throw. A. Strike. 

[runthebone 8,131]

Short leash, dude.

[YChang 3,472]

Come on pretend this is a road game back in June. 

[StruggleBus 3,922]

He doesn’t have a leash. He’s Justin Verlander 

[elfenix 34,385]

Verlander ain't got it so much shit 2 feet above the zone

He is not any slower than the regular season 

[Dark Horse 2,335]

Time to get someone up in the pen. 

[Rockethorn1978 6,153]

Every inning with jv has someone on and he’s about to get crushed but hey let’s keep him in so they can get up 6-0

[Mitch Hedberg 2,090]

He’s not even close. Jesus.
