No venimos por los caramelos, análisis-opinión / We are not here for the candy, analysis-opinion | ESP-ENG
After watching the first two games of this World Series, it has been demonstrated that the status we have given to the Houston Astros, as favorites and superior to many other teams, is not entirely true, since the Philadelphia Phillies have come out to do what they have done throughout this post-season, and that is to play in an inspired way and at the same time with fundamentals, never giving up, and not getting under any kind of disadvantage, having the confidence and poise within the core of the most important players, who are responsible, and have led them to have this fall classic, tied at one win per side.
NO VENIMOS POR LOS CARAMELOS / WE ARE NOT HERE FOR THE CANDY

The powerful barrier that usually is to face the pitching superstar Justin Verlander, for the Philadelphia team only took him to knock it down in a few innings, after being down by up to five scores in the first game of this series, the red team was given the task of being patient and decipher very well the Virginia pitching, to not only get closer on the scoreboard but to tie it to get into the game, this being of vital importance, because it would mean to take the lead in this contest, but also to steal the home of the Astros, who in these instances of the championship, are usually a very difficult team playing at home.
What was done by the Phillies line-up that day was truly meritorious, after that disadvantage, I in particular was taking for granted that the Houston team with that offensive support by Kyle Tucker, who showed all his power by driving 4 of the 5 runs of his team, would easily reach the victory, apparently the red ninth, and the bulk of its line-up, executed a good study plan on the pitches of the Astronauts' pitcher, getting out of the circumstances. In general I think that this Phillies team has connected very well the emotional with the things on the field, the leadership of Bryce Harper has been of vital importance, encouraging his teammates at all times, this is only achieved by true leaders, who in addition to their performances on the field, have the ability to represent and excel over others, not being vain, not playing to play or impose personal numbers, and being that spark, which is what drives you to any comeback or simply is what keeps you always connected with the reality of the game.

Such performance of the Phillies, would lead them to victory, and being ahead in the series, forcing the home team to be so to speak against the wall, forcing them to respond, and go for the game immediately, on the mound they would place I believe one of the best pitchers of this campaign, He is Framber Valdez, who in the end would get his 28th quality start in this 2022, adding regular season and post-season, something truly amazing, to be the combination that Houston needed to give him parts of this game.
A great work from the mound, in order to be ideal, has to be accompanied by an offense that supports you, and becomes a key that catapults you to victory, Jeremi Peña, Jose Altuve and Yordan Alvarez, the latter two, with symptoms of an offensive resurgence, were the protagonists of starting the path towards tying the series, They also joined Alex Bregman, who with a forceful hit through left field, would add personal statistics and in favor of his team, to support the work of starter Valdez, thus sealing a good advantage that in the end would be added to the score, for the consummation of the victory in the second game.
PUNTOS RESALTANTES / HIGHLIGHTS

The offensive slump of the Cuban player of the Houston Astros Yordan Alvarez, little by little is coming to an end, after an explosive divisional series against the Seattle Mariners, and a not so good one against the Yankees where he was seen a little impatient, I think he has managed to make adjustments for this World Series, he has been seen a little more patient at the plate, and that has contributed to others who had also had an offensive lag, to add to these improvements to add more solidity to the pitching of the Texan team, maybe it has not been so noticeable in the last two final scores, but it would be good news, knowing that there are 3 consecutive away games coming up in the city of Philadelphia.
Another who has had an improvement, is the Venezuelan Jose Altuve, a proven player in these instances of the championship, had had a bad streak well known by all, which was broken in the last championship series against the New York Yankees, Atuve was 23-0 with only 2 tickets, figures that were truly alarming to Houston, but as a good hitter that has always characterized him, he managed to put an end to that bad time and be again an excellent hitter to different parts of the field; it is worth mentioning that before the second game and adding all the games of this post-season, Jose had only 4 hits, and giving faith that things are going to improve, in that second game, he hit 4-3, a higher percentage and much higher if we take as a relation the turns reached with respect to the hits, taking him to add his twenty-sixth hits in World Series, records that only a few have reached, phenomenal!
LO QUE SE VIENE EN LA CIUDAD DE PHILADELPHIA / WHAT'S COMING UP IN THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA
In this type of series, where the modality is 7 games to win 4, and after having played the first 2 games, the center of attention moves to Philadelphia, the city of fraternity, there the thing will be even more interesting, the local team the Phillies, has a positive home record, and not only that, has not lost any game in this post-season in this park, which leads us to participate in 3 electrifying commitments in a place that will be difficult for Houston.
Eso quizas no sera nada para la experiencia que tienen los chicos dirigidos por Dusty Baker, un equipo que ya se sabe andar por este territorio, pero si los Phillies han jugado de la manera de como lo hicieron en el Minute Maid Park, estaremos a las puertas de un muy bonito espectáculo, la tropa dirigida por Rob Thomson, se las volverá a ingeniar con respecto a sus lanzadores abridores, y intentara acabar con esta cita lo más pronto posible o se verá obligado a regresar a Houston, esto solo se sabrá cuando el dia de hoy se le dé continuidad a esta serie con el 3er partido desde la ciudad de ‘‘Rocky Balboa’’
That maybe will be nothing to the experience of the guys led by Dusty Baker, a team that already knows how to walk on this territory, but if the Phillies have played the way they did at Minute Maid Park, we are on the doorstep of a very nice show, the troop led by Rob Thomson, will be able to get back to their starting pitchers and try to end this date as soon as possible or will be forced to return to Houston, this will only be known when the series continues today with the 3rd game from the city of ''Rocky Balboa''.
