Para todos los gustos, análisis-opinión / For all tastes, analysis-opinion | ESP-ENG
The city of Philadelphia at this time of the year seems to be a very rainy place, between that environment, and the fact that all the attention is really on it, make a perfect mix to attract the loyal baseball fans, and especially the Phillies and Astros teams, the rain has played a fundamental factor in this series and throughout the post-season, Let's remember what happened in the American League divisional series, and this fall classic was no exception, and more so in the actual start of the third game, which saw its original date moved from Monday to Tuesday, which more than that, opened the possibilities for both managers to make the necessary adjustments to determine if they were really the pieces that were really going to place as they had originally done.
PARA TODOS LOS GUSTOS / FOR ALL TASTES
Beyond the fact that the respective managers have changed their pieces, which were originally scheduled for Monday, we were able to observe in the third game, that again the Phillies bullpen did an excellent job in observing very well the movements of the pitcher that day the Astros team placed on the mound, He did an extraordinary plan and adjustments at the plate, which culminated with a total of 5 homers that night to lead his team to a resounding 7-0 victory, but now, it could have been avoided that string of hits. ? there are many things to analyze.
Without taking away any kind of merit to the Phillies hitters, there are those who say that the Astros manager Dusty Baker, made a mistake, I am one of them, since from what was seen in the previous series against the New York Yankees, the pitcher McCullers Jr. was not the most appropriate to pitch in this third game, many inconsistencies in his performance and also comes from an injury, and something that his manager did, was to advance him in the rotation, being the 4th, to move to the third spot, displacing the Dominican Cristian Javier who looked very good in previous presentations, what did Baker argue. ? maybe his numbers against the Phillies in previous presentations, his type of pitches, the truth is that we do not know, the truth is that he was very frank and the bulk of the red line-up studied him very well and broke him up, literally speaking.
Already after such damage and down in the series 2-1, for the fourth game, all the responsibility in the field, falls on the starter Cristian Javier, I say this because it is where mainly fall all the spotlight, the native of the Dominican Republic would enter the limelight with a performance that will be remembered by all, and not only has he led his team to tie the series, and in an unsuspected performance that along with his teammates, he managed to combine perfectly to complete a no hit no run in a combined manner, to respond to the circumstances and to what happened the day before by returning the shutout to their rivals, this time 5 runs for 0.
This performance, despite the fact that his statistical records do not reflect very well how dominant Javier is, is what we are used to, and which also has a precedent in this same season, when back in June and against the New York Yankees, he achieved a feat similar to the one achieved yesterday, along with his teammates combined phenomenally to leave in 0 a powerful pitching staff as it was at that time of the season, that of the boys from the Bronx.
QUE TENEMOS HASTA AHORA / WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR?
So far we have 2 teams that are giving their all to get the big trophy, and we have something for everyone, timely batting in the first 2 games in the city of Houston and now we see how we can go from a huge demonstration of a torrid batting combined with a good performance from the mound by the Phillies, to an impeccable pitching performance by the Astros, to not only get a shutout but to get into the history of the World Series records, being the second in pitching a game of these characteristics, equaling so to speak to what was achieved by pitcher Don Larsen, who in 1956 managed to pitch a perfect game in the 5th game of the World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers.
But there is a point that also stands out in this series so far, is that the pitching can dominate a pitching staff and keep them at bay, it was seen in the third game, although the most startling thing was the 5 homers by the Phillies, the pitching staff on that day along with the defense, kept the Astros at 0; A player who has also always been excellently located in the field, and in right field which is his position, is Nick Castellanos, this player has already had several defensive interventions in which he has managed to save his pitchers, becoming this something fundamental if we see it from the point of view of what would have happened if those balls caught by the player had fallen hits; and the extraordinary performance of the pitching staff of the Astros the next day, leaving no hits or runs to the line-up of the Phillies.
AHORA SON 3 JUEGOS PARA GANAR 2/ NOW 3 GAMES TO WIN 2
This is the space in which everything will be defined, we have the 5th game coming up and things are tied at 2 games per side, you need a couple of wins to reach the championship, there are virtually 3 games, and this is where it becomes vital who you will ride on the mound to take you to victory, if we take into account everything we have talked about, and your pitchers have finally taken you to the triumph, and we go by the logic, for this game number 5, Dusty Baker would go with his stellar pitcher, Justin Verlander, with nothing more to invent, but on the other side we have that Rob Thomson would go with Noah Syndergaard, the pitcher that the rain made him change his position in the rotation in game 3.
Este manager se ha caracterizado por tener un tacto para con los lanzadores, y su principal virtud es esa, saber cuando sacarlos de un partido y tener la certeza de quién colocar en un día determinado para que te abra un encuentro, en lo particular me parece un poco arriesgado contar con Syndergaard, debido a que tiene muchos días inactivo y no es el mismo que estaba con los Mets de Nueva York en 2016 y que disputó la Serie Mundial, pero creo que esta pensando mas en los juegos en la ciudad de Houston y está guardando lo mejor para ese entonces, le funcionara.? no lo sabemos, eso lo descubriremos el dia de hoy, cuando se le de rodaje al 5to partido y último de esta serie en la ciudad de Philadelphia.
This manager has been characterized by having a tact with the pitchers, and his main virtue is that, knowing when to take them out of a game and be certain of who to place on a given day to open a game, in particular it seems to me a bit risky to count on Syndergaard, because he has many inactive days and is not the same that was with the New York Mets in 2016 and played the World Series, but I think he is thinking more about the games in the city of Houston and is saving the best for that time, it will work. ? we don't know, we will find out today, when the 5th and last game of this series in the city of Philadelphia will be played.
