Two out Meatball City.
He went away from the high heat and it has cost him.
Come on JV. Get this out.
I blame Ron Brand!
He missed the DP. That never is good.
Youāre gonna have to look hard to see me celebrating before the game is over.
Bear down, JV!
The on field guy talking with Dusty awhile ago mentioned no hits for Verlander thus far and then it went to shit. Its all his fault
Get this out, Verlander.
Given a 5-run lead, Verlander shits himself
Ok, get Segura OUT
The Phillies are a good team, but this inning is self-inflicted.
I fucking hate World Series Verlander. Heāsso bad at finishing hitters.
I donāt know why he chose to throw Harper that off speed when he was having serious trouble with the high fastball. Very poor decision which kicked all this off.
Get your shit together, Verlander!
Finally
Top of the 4th.
Verlander pitching.
Schwarber - FB called ball, but looked very strike-like to me, swings and misses a high FB, drops curve in for strike, fouls off slider, slider called ball (just slightly inside?), F8.
Hoskins - FB strike at top of zone, lines FB into center for a single.
Realmuto - drops curve in for strike, ditto, lines back to Verlanderās glove, but he drops the ball and has to pick it up. 1-3. Hoskins to 2nd.
Harper - fouls off high FB. Lines slider for single to RF. Hoskins held at 3rd.
Castellanos - fouls off high FB (97mph), fouls off high FB (97 mph - seems his FBs are a couple mph faster this ab), slider low and outside, digs a low outside breaking ball for single to left. Hoskins scores. Harper to 2nd.
Bohm - lines breaking ball into left field corner for a double. Harper and Realmuto both score.
Stott - FB high and outside, swings and misses a 97mph FB, looks at FB strike 2, FB outside, fouls off high FB, fouls off FB, fouls off FB, fouls off an inside curve, lays off inside breaking ball, takes high FB for a walk.
Segura - FB low and outside, FB down the middle, pops up FB for F4.
Mid 4. Phillies 3. Astros 5.
all that crap with two outs. Dang it Verlanderā¦
Abreu better be ready in the 5th. If Dusty letās Verlander gag another inning, Iām gonna break some shit.
Astrosā offense: Letās get those runs back!
