WS Game Five: Astros vs. Nationals, live thread
« on: October 27, 2019, 08:02:42 pm »
The Nationals lost Max Scherzer for Game Five due to his neck locking up enough to keep him from moving his right arm.

The Astros send Gerrit Cole to the mound to battle . . . Joe Ross.

Ross isn't exactly a Joey-come-lately, not with a 3.02 ERA in nine starts down the stretch and two spotless innings in Game Three.

But he's not Max Scherzer. He's not Gerrit Cole. And the Nats hope Ross channels his inner Howard Ehmke, Johnny Podres, Don Larsen (well, a perfect game would be two things: difficult and impossible), or Moe Drabowsky: the least likely men to pitch the biggest baseball of their lives to keep a World Series team from the brink of death. Maybe a combination of the four.

If the Series went to Defcon Three for the Nats after Game Four, and Scherzer's locked neck pushed it to Defcon Two-Five going into Game Five, the Astros would love nothing more than pushing it to Defcon One before the set goes back to Houston and they can finish the job.

Game Five is about to get underway in Washington . . .

Springer works an 0-2 count for a BB...here we go again.

But, first pitch to Altuve goes for a 6-4-3 DP.

Whew.....

And after a leadoff walk, Joe Ross gets Jose Altuve to dial Area Code 6-4-3 before Michael Brantley hits a smash right into the shift and he's thrown out for the side.

No score, middle first.

Three and three for the Nats including a high liner chasing Springer to the edge of the track for the catch.

No score after one full . . .

What a roller coaster ride.  Expect Strausburg to be extra tough tomorrow.  Also add the head scratching fact that Verlander is 0-5 in WS decisions.  I really truly expect to see a Game 7 Wednesday.

And those Nats now have Road Field Advantage.

And it'd be real road field advantage: only one World Series has ever been played in which the visiting team won all the games---the 1906 Series, between the Cubs and the "Hitless Wonders" White Sox. But those two teams only had to hop crosstown trolleys to play the games.  :silly:

That could work. Once they figure out what an unpleasant way of life that is, they'll be motivated to hone their skills.
