The Astros go into the World Series without having lost a game in the postseason. Just like the Kansas City Royals in 2014 before they lost in the WS in 7 games. The Royals won 8 in a row in the AL playoffs (Astros went 7-0).

one of the players in the game tonight has a long bushy beard. made me wonder if an inside pitch hit that player's beard (but with no contact with the rest of him), would that count as a hit-by-pitch? or does baseball have the same type of "hair doesn't count as a contact" rule that volleyball does?

can we agree that the philly phanatic is the best mascot in baseball? sorry im grasping at straws to find something positive to say about the phillies because although i like em, i think they have zero chance. this did not age very well, but how bout those Phillies! DAMN SWEET.

There is a clarification in the rules that jewelry does not count. I think that if they intended that hair does not count, it would say so.

I do like that late in the game last night, when a batter basically leaned into a pitch in order to let it hit his elbow guard (or some piece of arm armor), instead of letting him go to first on a hit-by-pitch, the umpire (correctly) ruled that he had leaned into it and thus it only counted as ball 3 (heck, I thought it might have even been in the strike zone, but in that borderline area that sometimes gets called either way, so I can't complain too much about it not being called a strike)

The Astros won Game 2 5-2 to tie the series at one game apiece.

Based on what has transpired so far I would say the series will return to Houston. Phillies should win at least one game at home.
Not exactly going out on a limb.

if the phillies somehow win the series nick castellanos mvp for defense alone. nice sliding grab of a sinking line drive by altuve to start game 3.
