was he?
verlander fell apart in what, the 5th? your boy got rocked out of the gate
this series shouldn't even be close, but could go deep if yordan keeps slumping
was nice to see altuve turn it around saturday, but if yordan can't get right again this not gonna be pretty
Not sure i'm understanding your logic here. Wheeler went 5 innings and gave up 4 ER's, while Verlander went 5 innings and gave up 5 ER's. It doesn't matter at what point in the game you're talking about, Wheeler got rocked early but then settled down where Verlander was the opposite and looked dominant first three innings only to get rocked in the 4th and the 5th. Still a better start from Wheeler.
Also what does "this series shouldn't even be close" mean? That's the Phillies motto all playoffs i guess? Every team they play "Phillies magical run ends here" and they've beaten everyone 2-0, 3-1, and 4-1. Now the Astros play in Philly for three games where they haven't lost in the playoffs and play in front of the most rowdy fan base in baseball.
Can not WAIT to see the signs and chants towards the Astros over the next three games. You best believe the trash can costumes will be out tonight LOL
