It’s sad, really that there’s no fight in this team.
You had me at
Bullshit
Top 2.
Nola pitching (at 20 pitches after giving up a single to Alvarez in the first)
Tucker - fouls off FB down the middle, fouls off high FB, doubles to right on a curve.
Gurriel - 5-3, Tucker takes 3rd and beat the throw.
Vazquez - cutter high, FB inside - hits Vazquez on the arm pad.
Diaz - fouls FB back, fouls off curve, almost swings at a curve way outside, fouls off curve, chases cutter way outside. K. (wrong batter for the situation - made it too easy for Nola).
McCormick - curve drops in for strike, FB high, curve low and away, curve drops in for strike, swings and misses on a curve low and away. K.
That hurts, wasted a man on third with 1 out.
Mid 2. Astros 0. Phillies 0.
That’s why Diaz should never have been in this lineup. Fucking killer
Diaz nor Mancini should be playing, but there’s plenty of fight in the Astros.

Then they should fucking show some. Those were two of the most timid at bats I’ve seen all season.
He looked at two beautiful belt high semi-hanging curve balls in the zone and then swings at the one outside.
This feels like a replay of last year’s World Series.
Fucking dusty with Diaz.
It’s almost like they’ve never seen pitching before. Actual pitching.

Diaz has no business playing. We all agree on that. McCormick looked at a cookie breaking ball to start the at bat that should have been hammered.
To me, is seems like a replay of almost every series since 2017. Every year since then, all, or either a large portion of the bats have gone silent in the playoffs. If the don’t start hitting the ball, all the pitching in the world can’t save them.

Need another zero, Cristian.
The one for strike two wasn’t much better.
Well, Javier. Gonna have to keep them off the board until your offense decides to show up.
I guess Mr Harper will let the ump know when it’s a strike

I was gonna say good things about this HPU. Glad i waited.
