More oddities in last nights game....
Maldonado used an illegal bat in game 1, and it was pretty much glossed over during the broadcast. He got a big hit that contributed to their 3 run inning and was illegal. MLB just says don't use that bat anymore, should be some kind of penalty, IMO.
Then Valdez changes his shoes and Glove in the 4th inning last night, how many times does a pitcher whose cruising do that in a game, not alone in the WS. Seems very odd, he was always rubbing his glove, wiping his hands.
After 2017...these Astros can't be trusted PERIOD! All this stuff should be looked at with much more scrutiny after that fiasco!

2022 World Series: Phillies react to Astros lefty Framber Valdez potentially using foreign substance
The big hit eluded the Phillies in Game 2 of the World Series against Astros lefty Framber Valdez, who was filthy. Was he, perhaps, too filthy? Here's what the Phils had to say about Valdez' curious mannerisms on the mound. By Corey Seidman
Not that I’m the guy with all the answers but I believe there will be no game tonight. “The goal of MLB is to play an uninterrupted nine innings.”
MLB pulling the same bs delay games as they did to the Yankees fans. Make a f'inh decision. They are just making concession money off of people hoping it isn't canceled which it looks like is probable. Funny thing is that this would benefit the Phillies in a huge way if it was postponed. Tues-Thurs Suarez, Nola, Wheeler and then travel day Thor/Falter, and Suarez in Houston if necessary
Now meeting pushed to 645
EDIT:now 6:30 again the two teams will contribute to the decision in final decision. If they start it they aren't stopping.

Great, now the Birds and Phils will both be playing Thursday night.
Ugh.
I'm also surprised that they've pushing back the travel day, which would make Game 7 on Sunday. MLB and Fox purposely set the schedule up so that they didn't go against the NFL on a Sunday.
Tom, better hire @IllionisLion to help you with the official game threads.
It's a tacit acknowledgement that Wheeler is not quite the Wheeler we were accustomed to up until Saturday night. They're sticking to giving him rest (now an extra day from originally expected).
He’s injured. Anytime you give your ace 6 days rest in the World Series it’s because he’s injured and they’re trying everything to get him healthy by then. I’m hoping it’s the bruised knee giving him issues and it clears up
And I have a Billy Strings show after a HS soccer banquet Thursday. Kid most important but I thought I’d have bye on the Phils at least, onward…
