It's 5-0. Alvarado has at least 22 pitches, and it's a bullpen game tomorrow. Are they gonna burn him?

He originally came in for Yordan. Then HBP and Bregman double, and extended longer. He should be fine for 1 inning on Thursday. Plan is probably 3 from Noah, 2 from Eflin, and piece together the rest of the 4 innings.

Phillies get no hit lol

Terrific performance from Javier and company in a big spot, and it might have just flipped the entire series.

 

[CyYoung31]

This is a huge deal, and I’m sure it won’t a single segment on the national tv sports talk shows tomorrow.

If it had been the Yankees, they would have gone ahead and replayed the Don Larsen game from '56.

Well that's embarrassing for the Phillies

I guess baseball is hard when you don’t know what’s coming…. As the Astros know too well

 

[Hudson2]

I think the Astros win today. The momentum completely shifted last night.

 

[Tapate50]

If it goes 7 got to throw Javier again.

 

[UNCBlue012]

This is a massive momentum shift for the Astros. I do think Philly has been really good about just taking it game-by-game but getting no-hit at home in the World Series is essentially unacceptable... and I'm so here for it.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

it is one game. I think if Wheeler comes out and shoves, then it is just another game. I still like Philly in the long run.

At this point, its a three-game series and the Astros get two at home. Give me the home team.

 

[msstate7]

Verlander is gonna finally have a good WS start tonight.

 

[50PoundHead]

I don't know if getting no-hit packs the punch it did in earlier eras, but it was certainly an impressive show by the Astros last night and they are really set up well going forward. Lot of options in the bullpen.

 

[Carp]

Back to back no hitters would be cool

It's a BP game for Philly tonight, Wheeler in Game 6. Massive game for Houston tonight, need JV to be good, and Dusty to pull him when he looks fading.

If it goes 7 got to throw Javier again.

Cant throw McCullers if it goes 7. BP game of some sorts if it gets to 7. Javier would be on 4 days rest i think thanks to the day off before Game 6.

I don’t even think the Yankees get runtime these days.l. Baseball just does zero numbers at the national level.

It remains a local monster though.

Actually since Javier pitched game 4 on Wednesday, he'd be on 3 days rest for game 7 on Sunday.
