Just sayin': Maybe this is Dusty's year to win it as a manager.

I can actually remember when it started in the 1st week in October (and they had day games during the week).

Game 1 tied 5-5 bott 7. Pretty good battle so far. I picked Philly in 6....which means Houston will most likely win

Fuck the Astros, but I’d be fine with Duh-sty finally getting his ring.

Me being a phillie fan with my wife because she's from there and everyone hates the Astros

Castellanos with the diving catch to send it to extras

Last time a team pissed away a 5-0 lead in a WS game it cost Barry Bonds his chance at a WS title. Giants led 5-0 in the 7th, blew it, and lost game 7 the next day.

The stakes aren't quite as high in game one tonight, but it'd still be a gut punch to the Astros.

I wonder how many homers McCullers has to give up before Dusty pulls him?

Philly was all over him. Harper's 1st inning blast was a gut punch

Whole lineup just teed off on McCuller’s. Goodness.

He was tipping pitches and they jumped on it. Saw videos of a high leg kick and higher glove placement on those HR pitches. MLB hitters are too good - especially Philly’s group of big beefy mashers.

Yepp I saw that too. It was very obvious and like you said Philly can already mash and it was lights out early!

Those smarter than me in the baseball world seem to say it’s the glove placement more than the leg kick. Batter’s eyes stay high. Either way, Phillies saw something - also read he was throwing like 80-90% off speed to lefties all postseason.
