You can’t really ask for more after the first two games of the World Series: both teams are tied at one and the first meeting was a classic.
And what happens next is likely to be very interesting, on the field and off it. This is because in addition to being able to attend an excellent show on the lawn, the show also moves into the shelters of the two formations.
Indeed, after seeing Tommy Pham commit an error on the bases, being thrown out at second base to end the sixth inning on Saturday, we could see the pitching coach of the Texas Rangers, Mike Maddux, going there one: “Atta boy, you stupid” well felt.
This is reminiscent of Orlando Arcia’s comments in the Division Series against Bryce Harper, when he said “Atta boy Harper” in his team’s locker room after an error by the big Phillies hitter. from Philadelphia. We all know the outcome of this saga.
It’s unclear whether Maddux’s comments will have the same effect on Pham as Arcia’s had on Harper, especially since the Arizona Diamondbacks player can hardly do better than what he’s accomplished right now.
One thing is certain, the main person concerned has taken notes and risks responding through the mouth of his guns.
The World Series will resume tonight (Monday) at Chase Field in Phoenix, where fans of the DBacks will certainly make Maddux understand their way of thinking, as they have already done on social media.
Take out the popcorn.
