GDT 11/3/22 Houston Astros (Verlander) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Syndergaard)

[zambonir]

I think this was going 7 either way so while it would have been vastly preferable to go back to Texas up (and obviously it ain't over yet), just win Game 6 and toss the coin.

[Aquapong]

We missed too many opportunities against Verlander.

Houston Astros 3 - Philadelphia Phillies 1

[LoneStarPhan]

Another ball to Hoskins that he misfields. Gets an out and maybe that was the best possible outcome, but fielding the ball would have maybe given him a chance to go home to stop the run.

[zambonir]

yup that's your 2022 Phillies in a nutshell

I think that was my fave Castellanos catch, more than the dives.

[bkeich]

Unfortunately wrong part of the lineup coming up to have much hope.

Probably should PH for Castellanos who simply cannot hit high leverage pitchers.

Stott cannot hit a high velocity fastball and Segura is in an insane slump

[kikutaro]

Nick Castellanos

Trey Mancini remains in the game as the first baseman.
Pitching Change: Rafael Montero replaces Bryan Abreu.
Ball (95.3 mph sinker)
Ball (96.2 mph sinker)
Swinging strike (97.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Called strike (96.4 mph sinker)
Ball (98. mph four-seam fastball)
Foul (97. mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (95.7 mph sinker)

Alec Bohm

Foul tip (95.5 mph four-seam fastball)
Foul tip (96.3 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (95.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Swinging strike (95.9 mph four-seam fastball)

Alec Bohm strikes out swinging.

[LoneStarPhan]

There is nobody on the bench to use as a pinch hitter that would be a better choice than the regular lineup.

[Philsmania]

We all seem to have forgotten that the Astros came into this WS as prohibitive favorites.

[Brashin]

Stott is due, got to come through here

[kikutaro]

Bryson Stott

Ball (95.2 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (95.9 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (96.1 mph four-seam fastball)
Ball (95. mph four-seam fastball)

Bryson Stott walks. Nick Castellanos to 2nd.

[Philsmania]

Mean Jean!

[LoneStarPhan]

No question that winning two of the first three games was a huge achievement for the Phillies. The Astros are a very strong team.

Bohm couldn't hold off swinging at pitches out of the zone.

[Brashin]

Someone tell Segura to take the walk instead of swinging at garbage

[kikutaro]

Jean Segura

Mound visit.
Called strike (85.8 mph slider)
In play, run(s) (96. mph four-seam fastball)

Jean Segura singles on a line drive to right fielder Kyle Tucker. Nick Castellanos scores. Bryson Stott to 3rd.
