2022 Post season thread to the World Series

I don't have love for either team but I'll go with the lesser of the "I really hate you" Phillies.

I'm indifferent on JV.
 
Phillies are crushing the Astros tonight 7-0 top of 6 th. They sure can hit homers in that band box park they play in.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

Today, another opportunity for readers to discuss the hottest topics in a forum where thoughtful dialog and a variety of opinions are welcomed.

Let?s create some running conversational threads. And for those of you back in actual offices, here?s a question to take with you ? or use via Zoom ? as you talk to your co-workers.

Here is today?s topic??..

Former Tiger Justin Verlander continues to struggle in the World Series. While he was clutch in the playoffs, he has been horrible in the World Series.

In the ALDS and ALCS, JV has a 15-5 record with an ERA just north of 3.0. But in the WS, he is 0-6 with a 6.07 ERA. His ERA leads all of MLB pitchers for this event. Only Whitey Ford has lost more games, but Ford also won 10 with a minuscule 2.71 ERA.

Ironically, Verlander is expected to win his 3rd Cy Young Award this year. He was a major contributor to the Astros success in 2022.

JV is expected to make another start in the World Series. If you were the Astros manager, Dusty Baker, how would you use JV?

Given his disastrous record, would you give him another start or would you instead use him in an appropriate relief situation?

How should the Astros use Justin Verlander going forward in the World Series?

1. Keep him as a starter.

2. Move him to an appropriate reliever role.

Astros even the series up 2-2. A game after the Phillies hit 5 home runs the Astros combined to no hit the Phillies !

2nd no hitter in World Series history since 1903.


Dan Larsen has the other one.

You have World Series tickets. Your team is on fire and you have to sit for 3-4 hours and your team never gets a hit.

Boxscore. Astros Pitchers strikeout 14 phillie's batters.

Tied at 2 wins apiece. Now a best out of 3 with the last 2 played in Houston.

Top 7th in a tight 2-1 game. Astros have runner at third no outs. Phillies move everyone in.
I know teams have bunting but no one is really hitting why not play for a run. Nope
Bounces out to short. Hold runner. Runner goes on contact opps cut down. Last batter bounces out. Tight game. I would have loved ro see a suicide squeeze there.

Getting ready to lose his first win. Astros blew that chance to get a run with
No outs and runner at third .

Nasty pitch K?s 2 outs.
Schwarber up. 1-2 count.
Holy smash to first and a great scoop With foot on the bag. Wow (only in because Gurriel was hurt in rundown)
