Yup, he clearly hates Philly

And he just made a comment about how he was fooled by the one in the 6th, "it had a sound to it"

He didn't really pitch too bad. The Phillies were just really good at capitalizing on the few mistakes made.

Everything about him batting lead off shatters what a manager who goes by the WAR book.

Got it, you don't know what WAR represents. Nothing about WAR is related to what position someone hits in the lineup.

And you're only lying to yourself if you think that Philly isn't using WAR type metrics in their analytics department.

I always wait a few minutes, so the criticism isn't fresh and ask, "Hey, who won WWII?"

Literally everyone says, "We did."

"Oh, you fought the Germans at Normady?"

LOL nailed it

Yeah exactly. It's kind of like the Reds are our representatives for the community. We're in this together.

Let's not totally discount crowd participation or financial participation. Fans play a very important role for any club being successful.

I wouldn't mind a Phillies Astros rematch b/c I'd like to see Phillies win this time. I prefer to see Phillies Rangers b/c either team winning would be cool. Even Arizona winning it all would be fine with me. Just not the Astros again until all the cheaters retire

Wouldn’t happen in the Bronx! Analytics would render him useless.

ABREU IS IN BABY!

Valdez is starting though so you can pretty much guarantee Astros will be in a hole early lol

Will both teams lose all of their home games? The elusive road field advantage?

hxcmilkshake · 10-22-2023, 09:48 PM

Why not Diaz there?

Astros lost that way to Nationals in WS. Road team won every game. Previous Astros mgr didn’t put Cole in and we lost.

You better hustle! Those Stro’s fans don’t like when you show emotion!

Maybe the Astros will decline home field advantage next time.

Beautiful. I think tomorrow Scherzer gets shelled but I'll pray for a miracle.
