Yah Dusty's first error was not pitching Javier 3rd (or earlier). They had plenty of time between the ALCS & WS to set the pitching order. Got to ride the hot hand/arm. He's too loyal to Verlander & McCullers.
Could come back to hurt him, but we'll see.
I think its the Phillies in must win mode tonight.
