World Series 2022 Astros vs Phillies

I’m happier Nick Castellanos didn’t win than I am Dusty got one as skip.

Nick is a grade A dbag. And the worst defensive guy that isn’t a fat tub of lard that I’ve ever seen.

How can you be fit and in shape and still be so shitty at defense?

I will offer my congratulations to Dusty as well. He is a tremendous manager and well respected throughout the game. He was the perfect manager to take over the Astros after their scandals. How about Jeremy Pena's performance in the playoffs? Makes them letting Correa walk last year look like a great move.
The Phillies nearly ran the table in the playoffs. They came from being an "also-ran" when Harper went down and couldn't play the field to the 3rd wildcard in the NL to 2 games from being champions.
Honestly, I didn't really care which team won this year. Both had great reasons to win and to be congratulated for.

Why, did they cheat?

Good teams don't have to bang trash cans and wear buzzers to win games. Astros are a tainted organization until they make proper restitution.

Nah.

They’ve won two World Series in five years. And have left millions of whiny titty babies in their wake.

Ironically, he played some pretty solid defense in the playoffs but his offense was horrible. Pitchers realized they didn’t have to throw him strikes. He was just getting himself out.

If Harper comes back solid defensively next year, Castellanos won't need to bring his glove to the ballpark.

Harper needs elbow surgery. One of the drawbacks to coming this far and not winning is you pushed his surgery back a month. I don’t think he will be ready until June.

It’s crazy how awful he is.

Was at his first game at third. He managed to not get an error, since he didn’t even get his glove on a ball between his legs.

And Joe Nathan called him out in front of the media. Good times.

might need tofind a new manager or give him a course in lineup construction

He’s mentally weak and full of excuses in general. I wouldn’t even want him as a DH tbh.

I did enjoy watching his chase these last few weeks. Which was weird, cuz I hate watching him play.

They were the 3rd wild card vs the best team in baseball. They did really well

I like the guess, but his son is not Jr. Darren Baker is a 2nd baseman in the minors right now, in the Nationals system

This I looked up LOL

Was he the little kid who as a Giants batboy got picked up and carried out of harms way by JT Snow just before a play at the plate about 20 yrs or so ago?

Anyhow...props to Dusty B. for finally getting that WS ring as a skipper.
