Did Lance McCullers Jr. tip his pitches in disastrous World Series start? So many videos broke it down

Was McCullers tipping his pitches?

Lance McCullers Jr. had a horrible, terrible, no good, very bad day for the Houston Astros in Game 3 of the World Series.

The normally-stellar Stros pitcher actually made history on Tuesday night — not the kind you want to make — by giving up a whopping five home runs. That’s the most ever allowed by a pitcher in a playoffs appearance. Yikes.

But Twitter was rampant with speculation: Was McCullers tipping his pitches? Was he giving something away with his delivery that might have given the Phils an indication of what was coming? Is that what Bryce Harper told Alec Bohm before Bohm mashed one over the Citizens Bank Park fence?

Let’s check out the videos:

Lance McCullers Jr. had a really smart reason for wearing an elbow guard to the Astros’ ALCS celebration

This is very smart.

The Houston Astros are going to the World Series to face the Philadelphia Phillies, and pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. isn’t taking any risks.

Back when the Astros made it to the ALCS, the star hurler got nailed in the elbow by a champagne bottle, something that I’m surprised doesn’t happen more often giving all the celebrating and whatnot.

But it pushed back a start against the New York Yankees to Game 4.

So what did he do on Sunday night when the Astros clinched and celebrated? He wore an elbow guard.

You can laugh all you want, it’s brilliant. Save that elbow at all costs!
