Fuck you JV. Fuck you Dusty
Just fucking brutal.
He’s just not a postseason pitcher.
Leaving Verlander in right now is just such a stupid fucking decision by Dusty. This is awful.
Offense gives you 5 runs, and you gave every one back.
It’s astounding Dusty let him pitch to Realmuto.
They’ve had some massive cuts on his fastball too. But his breaking stuff is just meat currently.
Emphasis on ‘gave.’
No it’s not. Dusty of course is going to stick with him.
And our guys keep letting Nola off the hook on his
C’mon Blue, that has been a strike all night!
This has to be his last batter.
So much for JV…
Another garbage World Series outing from Verlander.
Now get some more runs!
JV’s starting the 5th was never in doubt. Leaving him in once the first two got on was irresponsible. It’s a minor miracle that we got out of that half inning tied.
Top of the 5th.
Verlander pitching.
Marsh - FB high, fouls off FB, lines FB down 3rd base line for a double.
Schwarber - curve misses inside, FB low and outside, fouls off curve, drops a high curve in for a strike, FB way high, fouls off high FB, FB low and outside. Walks.
Hoskins - fouls off breaking ball, pops FB up F6.
Realmuto - fouls back high FB, doubles hanging curve off the center field wall. Marsh and Schwarber both score.
Harper - swings and misses inside FB, fouls off high FB, FB high, grounds to Pena in the shift 6-3. Realmuto to 3rd.
Castellanos - fouls of middle middle FB, fouls off low FB, FB outside, fouls off 98mph FB, swings and misses a curve. K.
Mid 5. Phils 5. Astros 5.
0-0 with four innings to go.
Dusty trying to give JV a World Series win. Fucking stupid.
I 100000 percent agree, but Dusty wasn’t going to pull him until we were down.
