Houston Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. had a hard time slowing down the red-hot Philadelphia Phillies offense in Game Three of the World Series. Bryce Harper hit a two-run home run in the first inning to take the early lead.After Harper homered, Alec Bohm got ready to step into the on-deck circle. Harper pulled in Bohm to say something to him.Jared Carrabis@Jared_CarrabisBryce Harper homers off McCullers, gets in Alec Bohm’s ear…Bohm homers off McCullers.6280353Bryce Harper homers off McCullers, gets in Alec Bohm’s ear…Bohm homers off McCullers. https://t.co/katNJs5ZbYAlec Bohm went on to hit a home run in the second inning. Harper must have picked up on McCullers tipping his pitches. Tipping your pitches is the worst thing a pitcher can do.Steve Johnson@LegKickNationOG1181362https://t.co/xnvv86CIUIAs you can see in the video, he deployed two different leg-kicks. The Phillies picked up on this early and punished him for it.MLB Twitter couldn't believe Lance McCullers Jr. tipped his pitches in his most important start and questioned why the Astros did not spot this since it seemed deliberate."Delete this before the Astros bench coach sees it," one fan said.Brandon Saldan@brandonsaldan@LegKickNationOG delete this before the astros bench coach sees it106@LegKickNationOG delete this before the astros bench coach sees it"Ooooops.

If a batter knows ahead of time what the pitch is going to be, it's much easier to hit.

This wasn't the start McCullers had in mind for game three. He gave up six hits and five of those hits were home runs.The Houston Astros can't afford to lose both games in PhiladelphiaWorld Series - Houston Astros v Philadelphia Phillies - Game 3The Houston Astros have to figure out a way to win one game at Citizens Bank Park. If they were to lose games three and four, their World Series dreams would be close to coming to an end.In games one and two of the World Series, Houston scored first. They dropped the ball in game one when they allowed Philadelphia to score six unanswered runs to win in extra innings.The Houston defense has to limit Philadelphia's ability to score runs in bunches. They can't allow what happened in game one to happen again or this series will be over.The Houston Astros don't want to go back to Minute Maid Park behind in the series. They need to split the series in Philadelphia to have their best shot at winning the World Series.
