Wow McCormick saved the game, that was a huge play. A series of really big plays down the stretch helped Astros win. Also glad Verlander finally won a World Series game. Huge
Also some drama and shaky nerves on both teams. Even Presley had some jittery pitching trying to close out. The Philles aren't going down without getting their hits in, hence this great game 5! Back to Houston...
It was a helluva lot better when The Phillies were hitting. The Astros pitching has been phenomenal,but The Phils just keep swinging at balls above The Strike Zone and have no chance doing that.Looks like they are running out of gas. Been a great year and odds aren't with them for sure winning 2 in a row on the road. Especially, if they couldn't at home.
@@vernpascal1531 well that shows how differently they're built. Astros haven't been blowing teams out of the water. They've been winning games just like this the majority of the season. Phillies pitching needs to come with it in Houston or they won't see a game 7. Ranger Suarez is their best shot imo. Trot him out there 2 days in a row if you have to lol
@@partybusexperiance3289 the pitchers have a chip implanted in their heads letting them know what swing is coming. The Astros pitchers always have caps on...mighty suspicious
@@alwillk regardless of where he was..still a GREAT pick/play like we said. Just ask Bill Buckner about how easy it is fielding a grounder at 1st next to the bag
I'm so greatful I got to grow up in the justin verlander era!!! As a tigers fan I've watched this guy's entire career and I'm so glad I did!! I've missed out on a lot of great careers out of spite and I told myself I'm not missing verlanders career I've been a fan since day one Through all the ups and downs and I never not once doubted him!! I believe he is a generational talent!!
I'll never forget those years when dusty baker managed the giants. 2002 still hurts us giants fans lol, I hope he gets his ring as a manager. Finish it off Houston.
Houston builds stars in their farms, they built this dinasty from the scratch without overpying players. Amazing how Pena did H-Town forget Correa. They deserve the ring, clean their faces and get redemption from their mistakes... The best team in baseball undoubtedly.
During this run the astros have lost dallas keuchel, Charlie Morton, George Springer, garret Cole, and Carlos Correa to free agency and just seem to get better. All these young studs they have pena, Alvarez, tucker, Valdez, Javier, Garcia, hunter brown, etc. This isn't the dodgers just trying to buy a world series the astros do it through drafting and developing players
What a game! Had me on the edge of my seat for the last several innings. As an Astros fan, you never felt comfortable with that one run and then two run lead. The Phillies scrapped and clawed but it wasn't enough. Great defensive plays by Mancini and the Chazmanian Devil to help preserve the win. The ump made some bad calls against both teams so that was a wash. Great to see Verlander get that W. Now if we can only get Yordan to wake up, these games wouldn't be as close! On to game 6 and Framber Valdez on the bump. Let's close it out at home on Saturday, lads. GO STROS!!
My God this series has had just about everything from come behind wins to blowouts to freaking No No's now and now an edge of your seat Heart Attack game.
After two straight blow outs Game 5 was an absolute edge of your seat nail biter. It had everything. Even a schoolyard pickle. Extremely tough and hard fought by both teams. So many pivotal plays with the costly errors by Marsh and Hoskins, the sure-handed grab by Mancini, and leaping catches by Pena and especially McCormick making all the difference in the game. That's the way baseball goes sometimes.
That game got a lot of people on the phone saying "hey, you gotta tune into tonight's game, it's a back & forth batters' brawl, and both Astros' & Dodgers' bullpens are sweating fire right now, one bad pitch from either bullpen, and the ball goes over the wall"!!!
I liked the defense. Both teams were doing crazy stuff on defense. It just showed that Houston is clearly the better team in this thing. They are the one 100 win team that acts like it in the playoffs. Glad to know the record wasn't just for show the way it was for the Dodgers, Braves, and Yankees. The play in the 3rd to rob a clutch hit , and the leaping HR robbery were particularly great on Houston's part. Those 2 plays pretty much seal their win.
I am a yaankees Fan. But this 2 teams deserve to be in the world Series ! 2 Teams fighting until the end . Everything you can ask for your Team ! Awesome
This series has had it all... great pitching, great defense, a rookie playing like a vet, a no hitter, win and lose on each team. Got to tip the hat to the Philis for keep in the fight, but I'm hoping for my Astros to win it all.
Yeah as a Phillies fan, the Astros played well, we played well and whoever wins deserves it! Good luck to both teams in Game 6! Hopefully it's an exciting finale, no matter if it ends in 6 or 7! :)
Win or lose the astros have won me over as a life long fan!! They are my new team!! I've been following them since 2017 and I just love the way they have constructed this team through the draft and getting players out of the republic instead of buying players and spending the most money the astros have done it the right way imo!! This is how you build a dynasty!! Jim crane has really turned the astros around!!
@@floki5605 - Nah but to say they're a dynasty for 1 (fraud) title is crazy. It takes a minimum of 3 to be a dynasty. All these LCS and WS appearances are nice and all, but participation awards don't make a dynasty, championships do.
That catch at the wall is the kind of play that turns the tide of a World Series. That would have certainly been a 3 bagger. I'm a Braves fan, but I want to see the Stros win it all for Dusty.
You're the only Braves fan that has shown real class since the rest you all like to brag how you're the "Astros Daddy" for beating us last year and for you to actually root for the Astros is refreshing! Wish there were more Braves fans like you! Respect!
Clearly the two best teams in the MLB with the way these teams are playing. Arguably one of the best World Series developing right in front of our eyes.
Dang, as a Phillies fan. That was a good game. We had lots of missed opportunities but so did the Astros. Astrid made some incredible defensive plays. Good luck all!
An incredible game. Tough luck by the Phillies, but amazing D from the Astros. That catch in the 9th was amazing, but I feel the pick at first by Mancini off Schwarber in the 8th was even better. 90% of the time that ball either gets by him or kicks off his glove. That was the play of the game imo
@@alwillk It was crushed. He barely had time to get his glove down. That's an instinctual stab at a ball that is also hooking a bit too. So especially when you add in that the short hop was borderline in the "unpredictable bounce" zone, it's incredibly impressive. Also, it saved a run, where the catch in the 9th didnt.
The Astros came through with another really gutty victory in an epic road game. It was extremely intense since the Phillies were seriously knocking on the door throughout. But that fantastic catch by McCormick is what sums it up. What a game ! This series is likely to go the distance.
@@sjchac well, a.j. and his coaching staff members made them stealing signs... Didn't know during then, but eventually find out. Good team wins without it.
Oh my god what a game! This is my first baseball season that I watch, and oh boy what a show! The Phillies had an awesome underdog run, but I hope Verlander will get his deserved ring at the end.
Congratulations Astros!! IYpu did it!!!t was an unbelievable game from both teams until the end. 1 E Phillies and 1 SB Astros were the difference. Congrats to you Phillies too, for this event, you can be proud.
This is one of the greatest, stressful, world series ever. I wish this would never end. Both INCREDIBLE and TALENTED teams. Absolute Entertaining to watch.
That first inning run is so important. The Astros are the kind of team that if they're losing you have to watch out and be careful and if they're winning coming back is going to be damn near posible because their pitching is insane all up and down, whether it's starters or the bullpen.
I don't think Philly is getting past Framber in game 6. He's the last guy they want to see tomorrow. If it goes to 7 I think/hope Javier gets the nod over McCullers, even if just for a few innings.
Usually when you see an underdog you see great plays, great defense and those little things that the other team can't seem to counter. Houston saw this with the Nationals and Braves. But this is different. The Astros are getting the counters against the underdog, putting that little extra to win. Astros have the momentum and drive to finish this series in 6. They just have to come out and get runs and not leave these guys on base. You can't have 0 outs, a guy on first and third and not drive in a run or 2. Pena as a Rookie, Verlander getting that 1st W, Bullpen has been amazing, Dusty on the verge of his 1st ring as a manager it's all just lining up for the Astros. It's great for baseball for Dusty to get that ring! Beside Phili you have the Eagles. Houston needs this 1.
@@ImNotCatACourtFromExclusive Also the Nationals and Braves had power hitters that surprised the Astros. All the Phillies have is Schwarber and Harper and they struggled on the road in the World Series so far. Too bad Howie Kendrick is retired and Jorge Soler is in the Marlins otherwise they’d be ahead.
have to give the Astros credit, that catch by McCormick in centerfield was absolutely amazing. Don’t see plays like that everyday. That would’ve been a huge turning point for the Phils in the bottom of the 9th. Great game by both teams, honestly.
Regardless of who wins thanks you astros and Phillies for giving us such an amazing World Series. This has been a very fun playoffs to watch since the beginning
@@johnblze667 are u a bot? You just keep saying the same exact thing on every comment. You are the only one crying around here...... over and over again too apparently!!! Lol
This game was the most intense game so far, only one more with for Houston! So many game defensive game saving catches. Pitching and defense wins championships.
I've been following verlanders career since the beginning!! I remember watching his first start thinking this guy is gonna be something special for a long long time and he's proved me right every step of the way!! It's been an absolute honor to follow and watch his career!!! I'm so happy he got a win in the world series!! Next stop is # 300 go get it verlander and prove me right once again!!!
What a barn burner of a game and series. Definitely could go either way. Most enjoyable world series in recent memory for me. The announcing by Smoltz and Davis is also simply outstanding. The new Joe Buck has arrived.
"You can't win in Philly!" No, the only thing the Stros can't do in Philly is get pizza or BBQ, but they can take the series lead in their backyard! 3-2!
A tale of two centerfielders and first basemen: Marsch in the first doesn't climb the wall and he had time/opportunity for a catch and probably the reason he booted the pickup allowing Altuve to go to third on his error and later scored. McCormick climbs up the ladder in the 9th for a key out! First Base: Same thing: Hoskins doesn't field cleanly allowing Altuve to score while Mancinni grabs a scorched ball off Swarber for inning ending out with RISP.
This has been one of the most exciting World Series I can remember in a long time. Every single game has been so fun to watch. Let’s finish it off tomorrow night. GO STROS!!!
@@marksauce2383 I hate to say it, but I’m one of those fans that just loves seeing home runs, especially in the playoffs, so while it wasn’t fun as an Astros fan, it was still impressive to watch.
Heart stopping moment 7:53 .... hitter hits a fly ball against your team and the camera angle elevates, ball out of tv screen, out fielders scrambling...sheesh!!! .... thanks for that play McCormick
Even though you lost Phillies. But thank you for making it a 1 run lost. $o happy! I thought you guys had it with that swing hit on the bottom of the 8th with 2 outs. Just a great play by the 1st basement. Good luck in game 6!
@@martyklestadt6766 Texans are on the rise right now, They have an insanely bright future. I'm surprised to see they kept up with the Eagles in the first half.
@@Lightfulday The Texans tend to play up or down to their opponents, and then find a way to lose. Of course they're on the rise, they've got nowhere to go but up. :) I'm a diehard Texans fan, and for most of that time, that's what I've been doing--dying hard. :)
That was a nice catch by McCormick, I dunno how he did that, but that was pretty nice! One more win for the Astros, and they are World Series champs! LETS GO!!!!!

That first inning run is so important. The Astros are the kind of team that if they're losing you have to watch out and be careful and if they're winning coming back is going to be damn near posible because their pitching is insane all up and down, whether it's starters or the bullpen.
What a great WS so far!! This is baseball
I don't see HOU losing both games at home like they did vs WSH a few years ago to lose the WS. I think this ends in 6.
I don't think Philly is getting past Framber in game 6. He's the last guy they want to see tomorrow. If it goes to 7 I think/hope Javier gets the nod over McCullers, even if just for a few innings.
@@robloxvids2233 bro whatever we do, we CANNOT let McCullers pitch again. Anybody but him. He needs to go back to the drawing board
i hope so…my heart can’t take anymore 😆😆
Usually when you see an underdog you see great plays, great defense and those little things that the other team can't seem to counter. Houston saw this with the Nationals and Braves. But this is different. The Astros are getting the counters against the underdog, putting that little extra to win. Astros have the momentum and drive to finish this series in 6. They just have to come out and get runs and not leave these guys on base. You can't have 0 outs, a guy on first and third and not drive in a run or 2. Pena as a Rookie, Verlander getting that 1st W, Bullpen has been amazing, Dusty on the verge of his 1st ring as a manager it's all just lining up for the Astros. It's great for baseball for Dusty to get that ring! Beside Phili you have the Eagles. Houston needs this 1.
@@ImNotCatACourtFromExclusive Also the Nationals and Braves had power hitters that surprised the Astros.
All the Phillies have is Schwarber and Harper and they struggled on the road in the World Series so far.
Too bad Howie Kendrick is retired and Jorge Soler is in the Marlins otherwise they’d be ahead.
have to give the Astros credit, that catch by McCormick in centerfield was absolutely amazing. Don’t see plays like that everyday. That would’ve been a huge turning point for the Phils in the bottom of the 9th. Great game by both teams, honestly.
Regardless of who wins thanks you astros and Phillies for giving us such an amazing World Series. This has been a very fun playoffs to watch since the beginning
I'm running out of finger nails. 👏👏👏👏 no matter whose side you're on, that was a real classic.
Those last innings were intense 😅
A lot of great moments today, Astros! Keeping it going this weekend!! Only 1 game away 🧡🧡
The astros were a better team last WS without JV and McCullers pitching like sht!!
@@johnblze667 Astros live rent free in your tiny head.
@@johnblze667 ASTROS are the braves daddy!!!! Cry harder!!!! Cry more!!!!! Stay mad baby girls!!!!! GFYS!!!!
After all these years, Astros are FINALLY a win away from matching the Rockets in championships.
@@johnblze667 It will be honorable win for them with Dusty. Dusty is the one who is willing to win the series title most. I remember him from Giants.
It feels like being no-hit just slammed the breaks on the phillies momentum
ITS OVER. FLY ALL THE WAY TO TEXAS TO LOSE. THATS A SHAME.
@@KnockOffBeingFat Braves are the Astros daddy!!!! Cry harder!!!! Cry more!!!!! Stay mad baby girls!!!!! GFYS!!!!
@@KnockOffBeingFat You high on that copium again?
@@johnblze667 are u a bot? You just keep saying the same exact thing on every comment. You are the only one crying around here...... over and over again too apparently!!! Lol
@@johnblze667 ASTROS are the braves daddy!!!! Cry harder!!!! Cry more!!!!! Stay mad baby girls!!!!! GFYS!!!!
This game was the most intense game so far, only one more with for Houston! So many game defensive game saving catches. Pitching and defense wins championships.
In tents is where Arabs live.
It has been a terrific World Series, the best in years! May the best team win, with no scandals 2 yrs from now.
I've been following verlanders career since the beginning!! I remember watching his first start thinking this guy is gonna be something special for a long long time and he's proved me right every step of the way!! It's been an absolute honor to follow and watch his career!!! I'm so happy he got a win in the world series!! Next stop is # 300 go get it verlander and prove me right once again!!!
Even watching the replay is giving me anxiety even though I know the outcome, what a game
What a barn burner of a game and series. Definitely could go either way. Most enjoyable world series in recent memory for me. The announcing by Smoltz and Davis is also simply outstanding. The new Joe Buck has arrived.
Amazing series!!!
Great moments all around
Not over yet for the fightings but damn hats off to the astros 2 great defensive plays
From a Baltimore fan, I hope Trey Mancini gets his ring. Dude is class and I'd be thrilled for him.
Glad he finally contributed in the series for the Astros - with that defensive gem! Now, if we can just get him to do something at the plate......
"You can't win in Philly!" No, the only thing the Stros can't do in Philly is get pizza or BBQ, but they can take the series lead in their backyard! 3-2!
Underrated comment lol
Yea I saw they didn't want to feed astros fans in Philly were not like that in Houston though
@@eduardoaguilar8032 That's not what happened.
@@LetsGoFlyers2011 look it up
@@eduardoaguilar8032 I did. That's why I told you that's not what happened. You look it up.
Astros y'all made the city proud again today just one More win to go to win it all. Shout-out to the gang on hanging on the whole game 🤘🏿🤘🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Astros played an amazing defensive game.
So proud of my boys!!! They made some amazing plays this game!
Indeed Houston defense is awesome just like you:-)
Wow! What a thriller! My heart is still racing after watching this one! WooHoo! Let’s Go Astros! ❤️⭐️⚾️🧡💙
*Asterisks I got you bud for the spellcheck. You gotta add the * from here on out. Don’t let it happen again
This series will be remembered for a long time......at least until next season.
CHAS AND MANCINI I LITERALLY LOVE YOU SO FREAKING MUCH
This game was a nail bitter the whole time
I imagine nails would taste bitter , yes
Nothing better than clutch pitching with the bases loaded or 2 men on especially in a world series. This game was box office stuff
This has been as heck of a series, the way it should be.
A tale of two centerfielders and first basemen: Marsch in the first doesn't climb the wall and he had time/opportunity for a catch and probably the reason he booted the pickup allowing Altuve to go to third on his error and later scored. McCormick climbs up the ladder in the 9th for a key out! First Base: Same thing: Hoskins doesn't field cleanly allowing Altuve to score while Mancinni grabs a scorched ball off Swarber for inning ending out with RISP.
This World Series has been a real life movie 🍿 🎉❤
This has been one of the most exciting World Series I can remember in a long time. Every single game has been so fun to watch. Let’s finish it off tomorrow night. GO STROS!!!
@@marksauce2383 I hate to say it, but I’m one of those fans that just loves seeing home runs, especially in the playoffs, so while it wasn’t fun as an Astros fan, it was still impressive to watch.
@__ definitely has an effect but still a fun series
@__ I mean….yeah? Obviously when you still have a dog in the fight it’s more exciting, but a lot of my favorite WS didn’t feature the Astros.
This might be the best MLBCS game in years. Instant classic.
Series aint over yet! Its already been a classic we deserve to be here and so do the Stros let the fun continue
OMG!! That was a heart stopper. Great defense to go with the bats. COME ON DUSTY!! ONE MORE BABY!!✊
Heart stopping moment 7:53 .... hitter hits a fly ball against your team and the camera angle elevates, ball out of tv screen, out fielders scrambling...sheesh!!! .... thanks for that play McCormick
Pena can't through tonight. MsCormick made an awesome play. Great series so far. Was fun to watch. Great video
One more win and the Astros are champions once more. Cant wait to see Mancini and Brantley get their world series rings 👍🤘
DONE!!! And for Dusty, too!🏆
Even though you lost Phillies. But thank you for making it a 1 run lost. $o happy! I thought you guys had it with that swing hit on the bottom of the 8th with 2 outs. Just a great play by the 1st basement. Good luck in game 6!
What a game!!!! Full of talent my heart was pumping so fas!!! Go Astrosssss is not over, let’s seal it on game 6. 🔥💣 💪🏼
Enjoy your Eagles victory vs the lowly Texans because the Astros are now in control of the world series.
Coming back against the Texans was a much easier task, that's for sure.
@@-Thunder Eagles couldn't even beat the spread tonight. But they do have a helluva team this season.
@@martyklestadt6766 Texans are on the rise right now, They have an insanely bright future. I'm surprised to see they kept up with the Eagles in the first half.
@@Lightfulday The Texans tend to play up or down to their opponents, and then find a way to lose.
Of course they're on the rise, they've got nowhere to go but up. :)
I'm a diehard Texans fan, and for most of that time, that's what I've been doing--dying hard. :)
The Phillies have been very fun to watch in Games 4 and 5
Let's Go Astros! Time to Level Up in Game 6.
That was a nice catch by McCormick, I dunno how he did that, but that was pretty nice! One more win for the Astros, and they are World Series champs!
LETS GO!!!!!
Pena really should be post season mvp. He has filled Correas shoes so well so far
At this pace. He'll be better than Correa eventually. His arm has also improved.
Ok Aussie here, obsessed with the NFL and a casual basketball fan. I just finished watching moneyball and loved it and was curious about the sport. just watched all the highlights of the last 2 World Series and this game is incredible. Cannot wait to watch the games when the season starts.
