Phillies basketball player Kyle Schwarber hits a home lead against the Astros in Game Five of the World Series. Justin Verlander’s struggle continues.
When asked about Astros no-hitter After match 4Kyle Schwarber said the obvious — honestly, he doesn’t give like a ***.
Schwarber lived up to that comment Thursday night, arriving home in the night sky off Justin Verlander.
The Phillies were going down a path entering the bottom of the first, possibly signaling a warning sign of what was to come. Instead, Schwarber hit the breaks in a big way.
This was Schwarber’s third post-season bombshell, who has now been linked with the most in MLB history with Derek Jeter and Philadelphia sports legend Jimmy Rollins.
Kyle Schwarber ran home: Watch from all angles
Schwarber’s home run was better by turning his racket. Sure, nearly every post-season bombshell has a celebration attached to it, but something about Schwarber’s bat flip-flop in slow motion makes it special.
The 26th advanced Homer in the history of the World Championships was also the first by Phillie.
The entire Velez squad has the ability to hit the ball at any moment. Schwarber, who hits the front and in front of Reese Hoskins, JT Realmoto and Bryce Harper, is just the first of many.
As for Verlander, it certainly wasn’t the start he was looking for. Dusty Baker insisted that the ace would have a long streak despite the tough first match. Verlander’s career is well past his eighth World Series ERA, and in his ninth run at the Fall Classic, he’s proven once again that stats aren’t luck.
Something about the world championship brings out the worst in Verlander. For his sake, I hope that changes. There is a lot of game left.
