HR walk double home run and 2 strikeouts in one inning

Yep

Definitely some poor managing from Roberts. Not the first time in this series. Actually it seems like there's been quite a few bad moves from managers the entire playoffs.

Yup they all panic and over think.

Baseball has changed into such a bullpen thing the last few years and they all try to just follow that code without thinking

I didn't know it was a best-of-5. That changes everything.

it's over, friends. houston needs to be on the phone right now to let chavez-ravine know what type of champagne they need to stock the visiting clubhouse with. . .

It seems that the quality of the players on each side makes it difficult to be perfect.

This nonsense about the heroic effort by Morrow pitching three days in a row and being gassed is absurd. The man is an athlete in the prime of his career and had thrown 51 pitches in 5 days. 51! How can he be over worked? Give me a job like that.

The prime of his career??

Dude is like 33 and I don't think I've seen him in the Mlb in years

Very entertaining series

 

[calsnowskier]

sorry Dogs fans, maybe in another 29 years you guys will get that next one.

Devastating loss after a 4-run, then 3-run lead. Astros close them out in game 6, will win 5-1.

Congrats, Houston Astros. You guys just won the World Series.

Nah. Game 5 is important, but game 6 is even more important, IMHO. Regardless who wins this game, my money goes which whomever wins on Tuesday.

He only gave up the run because of a bone head play. That run was on Springer.

Some nuances are lost on game day and in the glass of wine

there's a reason relief pitchers seldom throw three days in a row

 

[jvett77]

LOL, Wtf.

This ump needs to be fucking shot

It's gotten to that point

Exactly. Any 33 year old man should be able to throw 10 pitches per game for a 5-game stretch.

I don't think anybody knows exactly what the strike zone is. If it's close you gotta foul that shit off at this point.

MLB >>>> NFL

The Astros are sitting pretty then with Verlander going.

It's just nuts

All those pitches to Barnes were balls

But he's been calling them strikes all night.

Yet he calls the first 2 balls and then the final one a strike. Insane.

Exactly. Any 33 year old man should be able to throw 10 pitches per game for a 5-game stretch.

Just saying that isn't the prime of his career and he's been ravaged by arm injuries
