    My approach to Nick has been The Burrell Treatment - the more I would speak into existence that Pat sucks the better he would do. So far not as much of a payoff with this one!
    That worked once for me but all the other times I was right. Last night he came up to bat and I just went into the kitchen and washed some dishes.

    Yeah that's a good point.

    I mean, it's basically one team failed to get a hit for 9 innings. Nobody on the other team actually pitched a no hitter. The guy has to get 27 outs for that. It's a choice - save your guy for a couple innings in game 7 or go for the no hitter - can't have it both ways.

    This is where I'm at right now, but I think part of it is my body saying "YOU CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE"



    Need to just sit here and hydrate for the next 6 hours...

    There would be zero shows I would be going to, I wouldn't be able to handle it. Only one band and one show was worthy of me not watching the Phils in the World Series.

    Also, without question your best starter is Cristian Javier - a rising fastball is a hard thing to hit. If I ranked your starters they would go 1) Javier 2) Valdez 3) Verlander 4) McCullers

    Does anyone think we really have any chance in Game 6? Yeah it's all on the line tonight.

    It would've lined up perfectly if not for the rainout. We bought these tickets months ago & they're a gift, so no way I'm staying home. In any case, I'll be looking down at my phone a lot. lol

    I definitely agree with your rankings. JV has to bring it tonight. If he's off, Dusty needs to pull him.

    Not to get ahead of myself, but makes me think - if it goes 7 I wonder if they'd skip McCullers or do a McCullers/Javier tandem where Lance sees no more than once or twice through the lineup.

    After that turd of a start by Nola (I know they're not the same person) I no longer have any confidence in Wheeler, either, coming back and turning it around. Only way they win now is if they mash.

    He was in a Jonah Hill movie that was okay to solid...that's all I know.  And the fact they show him at every single Phillies playoff game. Also, A+ Parks reference

    I have to figure something is up with Wheeler.  Today is as big of a game as can be, aside from elimination, but I really don't feel like he doesn't pitch tonight because of "fatigue". The stakes tonight are too big.

    Maybe give Wheeler an opener? Not sure who the hell that would be - maybe Brogdon.

    With that said - really would be nice for Segura to show up to this series, too!
    Yea Segura has not been good in the playoffs.  He is flying out too much.  At least the last at bat last night he hit it hard. Maybe that will get him going.

    He was there a ton when they sucked too. Been around awhile.  

    He was really good in the movie Whiplash
