Phillies head back to Houston facing a must win Game 6 | Phillies Postgame Live

[@HoustonRadioREWIND]

Thanks NBC Sports Philadelphia for the outstanding postgame here. The Phil’s are one hell of a team with a hometown crowd that loves them as we can easily see. Wishing you guys safe travels to Houston and our city will welcome you with open arms and hospitality.

The reason they're chanting cheaters is because your team got caught cheating and more or less got a slap on the wrist. Also, what about the illegal bat by Maldonado? Absolutely nothing was done about that. The Mlb seems to have this theme that you can cheat and get away with it.

[@NoThisIsPatrick.]

It's over folks. As a Phillies fan I had to be objective, and I just didn't see us beating the Astros even though I got ridiculed for it. Pitching just too deep, and a lineup that just wears down pitchers. There is absolutely no way in the universe they're going to win 2 straight in Houston against Valdez and Javier.

[@sgshumblecrumb6046]

Nola isn't the ace, he's the # 2. He helped get us here, so he's way down my list of culprits, shortcomings and all. We broke the bank on our offense and they've been missing for two games, because they were always going to be an all or nothing team hitting wise. The team just isn't as good as the Astros, and we weren't expected to get this far anyway. They need depth in their rotation and bullpen, better fielding, and to not be so heavy on streaky, power hitting, DH type players. Regardless of the outcome, let us hope we continue to improve the roster in the offseason.

[@gotohoward]

The Phillies gave us huge moments in the post season. Everyone knew they were an underdog, yet expect them to play like they won 105 games. The series are long at the end to reveal weaknesses. Phillies being very hot carried them, and now you see Houston plodding along with fundamental hitting, and exceptional pitching. The Phillies aren't out but odds say winning two away is remote. You can't always swing for home runs. A timely single, sacrifice, stolen base, bunt, etc. are needed. Hopefully next year they'll get some solid players to complement the core team.

[@JC-vz9vn]

The Phillies are top 5 in payroll only behind both NY teams and the Dodgers...y'all make it sound like your team is made up washed up vets and no name rookies...if you feel like you're a team of underdogs, then you owner needs to fire everyone in the front office because he's not getting what he's paying for LOL!

Disappointing as it was to lose that game, but from the competitive entertainment perspective it was the best of the series to watch so far. Good pitching by both teams, men-on-base missed opportunities by both teams. Two fantastic defensive plays by Houston, one bad play by the Phils. Wheeler has to throw a gem & they need to avoid the double-digit strikeout game. Forget the home run approach - just use the middle of the field & keep the lineup moving. Walks, steals, anything that puts pressure on the pitcher & infield. We've made it easy for them so far by striking out more than half our at-bats.

1 more astros Finish off the Phillies and break there hearts. Most fans are so disrespectful. Go astros From a team that did beat The Astros in the world series GO BRAVES

[@Acts-xu7th]

Different Astros team than last year 🇺🇸

[@Jovaniel]

Barkan it's on you

[@Acts-xu7th]

And the Astros haven't even played Great in the Series .. Could be Blowout in Houston favor on Saturday 😢

[@JAYLOVE47]

I'm sorry but I could have done without getting to the world series. We want to win Philadelphia is lacking in championships for a big major city with 4 teams. I'm tired of being the runner up I've experienced that all throughout my adolescent and childhood. Damn if it was up to me they would have never went at least not this far just to break our hearts. And if they were going to lose I wish they would have at least given Phillies fans who paid all that money 2 wins at home SMH! It's over!

[@anbrohi]

How about those Astros!!!! World Camps

[@TREEHUGGAH1]

who said nobody can beat us?

[@TheeOriginalSurferbob]

Lord Verlander flipped off Philadelphia, and backed it up!

[@J4M3S17]

Lord? Really you must be gay for him

[@TheeOriginalSurferbob]

@@J4M3S17 You don’t think Lord Verlander sounds cool? Been calling him that since Detroit. Gay? Dang dude you got issues. Dont let your baseball team losing turn you into an asshole.

Put Barkhan in the trash can. Let's get greg Murphy back instead

[@MrBendylaw]

Came here for the Phillies rant. The other one; not the Bill Burr one.

[@jeffgutterson881]

The Phillies got to get to game 7 Don't underestimate The Lone Ranger He is the man to go to RANGER SUAREZ. a lot of strikeouts a few hits MAYBE a 1 run game ....1-0 the Phillies win in 7.... COULD HAPPEN YA NEVER KNOW....

[@ajac4093]

Nope.

[@inspiremusic67]

What’s with Barkann after game 3 he was talking parade. Now tonite with the Phil’s needing 2 games to win he interprets Rob Thomson post game as Houston is the better team and abandoning ship. Whatever happened to the mindset “it’s not over until It’s over”

[@ericday4505]

My god I kind of wish JT didnt hit that home run in game 1, where oh where has he been since. And if Rys is not hitting what is the point of having him out there.

[@craighall689]

What happened to the arrogant phillie fans...very quiet now

[@joeymful]

the arrogant phillies fans just watched the eagles beat the sorry ass houston texans....lol

[@joselopezmoya9786]

NOT ONLY HOUSTON A BETTER TEAM, BUT THE METS AND BRAVES ALSO. THEY PLASTERED THE PHILS DURING THE REGULAR SEASON , INCLUDING A NO HITTER BY THE METS. THE PHILS WENT TO THE POST SEASON THANKS TO A SHAM PLAY-OFF FORMAT.

[@JesusMorales-zq1hj]

WE WANT HOUSTON

[@tubesurfn]

"He made a decent play" lol

[@slickricky55]

What tha hell?

[@tonydagostino6158]

Wow, you guys are brutal. It's a truism but good pitching always (almost) beats good hitting. Look at the K total for the Mariners and Yankees, you're actually doing better

[@alfonsobecerra7960]

You guys only won 86 games. Weren't that good coming in.

[@georgegriendlingjr3218]

What has killed the Phillies in this series too many strikeouts,and defensive misplays.

[@stanthomas3165]

how about 8 batters hitting .226 or less!!!!

[@kennyc388]

Getting their asses smoked by superior pitching !!!

[@homelessjesse9453]

Phillies should leave Castellanos out of game 6. Not even joking. He's a dead weight.

[@joshuasimber8588]

leave him home don't even take him to Houston

[@Sonnyjune69]

With the bats, I agree. But to be fair he’s made key plays that allowed us to even be this far.

[@mattragusa210]

There are a number of guys who you can blame for this World Series outcome: Aaron Nola was terrible in his 2 games Zack Wheeler wasn't his usual dominant self Rhys Hoskins being Rhys Hoskins Nick Castellanos continues to be the worst free agent signing in Phillies history Rob Thomson for letting Seranthony pitch another inning in Game 5 and continuing to have Castellanos bat 5th

[@julianc6863]

Wheeler is hurt it obvious. Nola mentally weak. Hoskins mentally weak. NC ugly

[@itsokyah3088]

Nola may not have been at his best during this series, but some 90% of the time the Phillies' bats go silent when he's been on the mound.

[@julianc6863]

@@itsokyah3088 dude fk that he's been dogshit last 3 games and game 1 they came back. Nola is weak and it showed just like hoskins

[@100spurs]

Worst in free agent history? Lmaoo. I think Freddy Garcia might be it

[@mattragusa210]

@@100spurs I believe that was actually a trade in exchange for Gavin Floyd

I hope the Phillies win

[@David-by4jf]

it is all over

[@raginguncledan19]

Hoskins should not be batting 2nd!!!

[@themagnificenthelio]

3rd time in the playoffs Hoskins has caused a game losing run to cross because of an error.

[@user-ly4bz9fw3k]

phils had alot of chances.....mancini was like could not get out of way of ball....ball realmuto hit might have gone out in warmer weather.....left bases loaded against J V......go astros

[@leehua2589]

will play the seventh game let's go Phillies

[@FernandoGonzalez-nq3hp]

Sad to see them lose but if Wheeler pitches a gem and we can heat the bats up... We have a chance

[@UnHolyWible]

after game 2 I have about as much faith in Wheeler right now as Nola

[@julianc6863]

Wheeler isn't the same but y still need to actually score

[@DM-iw2qt]

Wheeler will give it up Astros in six Phillies do not hit the ball enough a home run or strike out.

[@kylesweger9263]

Hoskins defense has killed us all damn postseason.

[@ajac4093]

There is no shame in being spanked by a way better team. Astros pitching and defense is better than the Phillies hitting. Its that simple. No parade this year but your eagles beat the texans....lol

[@williamf.buckleyjr3227]

As a stros fan, these guys are so negative it’s crazy, shut up guys it’s far from over

Are they negative? This is how teams are critiqued in the northeast.
