We are recovering from our Philadelphia trip. We are here to recap game five. We are recovering.

We're trying to recover. It was a long couple days for us. We got to see, I mean, two polar

opposite games. Game three and four. Obviously, we came back. Before game five, it looked like

going into game three as the game was going on. Okay, like, we're in the midst of something special

here in Philly and we're like, ah, they went to night. They went to tomorrow. Like, how do we leave?

So I don't want to say that I'm happy that it ended the way it did.

But we got to see two polar opposites. You see, you see a shut out. Seven runs put up and then

the very next night. Look at that response from Houston. And then I think, I think game five was,

was what people expected for a majority of the series. Really closely contested kind of back

and forth. Some good pitching battle of the bullpen's. But the series overall hasn't, hasn't been

that way. Last night was really the first time we saw a super close game and it could have gone either

away. There were opportunities on both sides that kind of separate themselves to break it open.

But the arms did a good job in tremendous defense all the way around from both sides, I thought.

Yeah, there's some specific plays I want to get to, but just higher level is five, through five

games, incredible stuff. Like game two is probably the most forgettable and that has tremendous

controversy with Velt Es and the stuff on his hand and he pitched very well and Philly's almost

came back from that game on Saturday. But by and large, just everything has been historic.

Every game. So now they were kind of going back to, I shouldn't say kind of now that they're going

back to Houston, three, two series good opportunity reflect on some of the history that we've seen.
