Phillies' World Series Game 4 GDT: 11/02/22 Astros(1-2) @ Phillies(2-1) - 8:03pm

[Captain Obvious]

Utley, and Rollins to throw out first pitch.

Guessing it's Lidge to Chooch tomorrow which makes perfect sense.

Again, I don't know who, or what else they could do besides Burton to Foles to get this crowd going. Other than 6 hours of tailgating.

not that it matters but would have liked to see an older eagle last eve. You had Schmidt, Doc, Bernie and Brandon Graham, who's obviously still playing. Jaws? Randall? i assume it was to have someone from championship teams so there's that. Anyone from the 1960 team left?

Correct. It was from the four championship teams.

I am guessing all, if not most of the 1960 crew is no longer with us. Those who are probably don't have the ability to make it there, and I doubt they would've got the ovation those four did last night.

Agree with LarBo- need the W tonight. 2-2 with the remaining pitching matchups and two home games for Houston strongly favors them.

Win tonight, and that park will be unforgettable tomorrow.

[FolesMVP09]

Like last night - need some early runs, to allow Nola to relax and put the pressure on Houston

[FolesMVP09]

Looking at Javier's game logs- gives up very few hits in a lot of his starts

Has had some 3+ walk games. Being patient may be their best shot tonight

[FolesMVP09]

If the Phils somehow win tonight, it will be in a low scoring walk-off.

The downside with him is that he's a strikeout machine.
The possible upside is that most balls hit off him are in the air.
He'll probably need to have his offspeed pitch working, to keep them honest on the fastball.

Of course, all this applies doubly to Nola. He needs his full arsenal to be effective tonight. Can't let Astros dormant lineup regain confidence.

If Nola is not great tonight (1-2 runs max), I highly doubt that they win

[BelmontShore]

First. Pitch.

Here we go, folks.

[sentinelhyder]

Ooh leaner Diaz is in the lineup. I imagine he’ll get a nice welcome

[BelmontShore]

Nola can't be pitching up in the zone and Realmuto shouldn't be calling pitches up in the zone.
