@fightinfunbags and other Phills fans... Do you think the offense is struggling because everyone is up there trying to hit it out of the park?
No. I think the offense is struggling because no one is succeeding in hitting it out of the park.....

Seriously I don't think they did anything wrong last night. A lot of times whether you score runs comes down to luck and/or pitching by the other team. In some other games, late in the regular season and earlier in the postseason they were able to manufacture some runs but last night most of their opportunities came with an out or two and they didn't get the hits with guys on. I don't think the approach was wrong but the hits didn't fall in. When the other team has a bunch of good pitchers that happens.

Not really sure. I think they have too many outs and their lineup provides no protection for Schwarber or Harper.

Partly.
They try to jack those sliders and pull off the pitch.
I would much rather see them take those pitches to right field, but it is what it is.

Live and die by the long ball and clutch hits with 2 outs.

And you have to tip your cap to the Astros pitchers.
Good point. JT Rhys and Castellanos are all pull happy right now. They need to go with the pitch with the way they’re being pitched outer half and they aren’t executing. Castellanos plate discipline has been horrid. There’s no reason to throw him a strike right now.

Yeah they got hot at the right time (line up) bound for that heat to cool off

Just get to game 7 fellas and anything can happen. Need a great start from Wheeler. Even if he doesn’t have the same life on his fastball he needs to pitch smart. He and JT have to mix things up and break tendencies.

I'll go with the obligatory Astros in 6. But I'm fine with either team winning.
Unless something wild happens looks like I nailed this...

Congrats to Dusty if it comes through. And to the Phillies they had a great run from the 3rd wild card spot.

He's a classy guy, that's why. Winning a WS with 5 different teams isn't something done by accident.

IMO though, this WS won't count for the Astros as an organization. None will, until they give back the 2017 trophy and that entire season is vacated.

Congrats to the Astros. That’s a great team. Proud of my squad and appreciate them giving us a great season and a ton of playoff baseball. The Astros were far and away the better team.
