Edit: Top 4th made it better. Go Phillies!
Edit: Top 5th tied 5-5! Verlander done without getting a W again?

The 0-fer continues.

Astros' Verlander - HoF career, killer season. However, 7 WS starts and is 0-6.

World Series 2022: Justin Verlander goes winless yet again, now has worst ERA in Fall Classic history

... Verlander's final line: five innings, six hits, five runs (all earned), two walks, five strikeouts and 90 pitches (66 strikes)....

Verlander has now appeared in five different World Series, making eight total starts. The results have been ugly: an 0-6 record and 6.07 ERA, the worst mark in the history of the Fall Classics (min. 30 innings pitched).

He has been even worse in Game 1s, holding a 10.29 ERA when opening the World Series, according to ESPN.

The Astros were clearly hoping for something different from Verlander, who was among the best stories in baseball this year by posting a 1.75 ERA in 175 innings with 220 strikeouts. One of the best pitchers of his generation, Verlander's World Series troubles have spanned 16 years and two different teams, all the way back to Game 1 of the 2006 World Series, when he yielded six earned runs to the St. Louis Cardinals as a rookie on the Detroit Tigers....

6-5 Phillies mid 10th! The Astros have never won a WS Game 1, but they did win the 2017 WS out of 5 tries.

Can you imagine being told to go up there and get hit with a 95mph fastball or whatever the pitcher hurls your way?

No thanks.

Can you imagine getting hit by that 95mph fastball or whatever and then getting it waved off by the ump?

Not too terrible when you stick your elbow guard right on the ball.

I suspect that the guy filming, the guy laughing if they're different, or someone near them made the first rude gesture.

Well yeah. It is after all, Philly.

That, plus the immediate laughter made me think there was some sort of instigation.
