After witnessing somewhat ordinary series during the first two rounds, we can confidently say that we are spoiled in the Championship Series with the two duels which will have reached the limit.
An interesting fact about the second consecutive final game that will take place tonight: in 141 years of existence and more than 20,000 games, this will be the first game number seven in the history of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Same story for Bryce Harper, who will also play a seventh match for the first time in his career, he who has already played three final matches, but in the Division Series, that is to say in three-of-five duels.
The big hitter maintained a .313 batting average in those games and will be able to continue building his legacy as a player who stands up in big moments starting today.
For the occasion, the manager of the City of Brotherly Love team, Rob Thomson, does not intend to change his lineup, despite the defeat in game number six, claiming that a This change could suggest panic within its training, which is far from being the case.
Moreover, on the side of the Phillies players, including Kyle Schwarber, the excitement is at its height for this duel without tomorrow.
It’s going to be exciting. That’s why we play. We are there. We deserve to be in this situation. We have a chance to play our best game and advance to the World Series.
Let’s hope that we will be treated to a slightly closer match than the one between the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers last night (Monday), even if the final result delighted almost the entire baseball world.
