WS Game Seven: Nationals v. Astros, live thread
« on: October 30, 2019, 08:04:02 pm »
Will the Astros claim ranking among the dynastic with their second World Series win in three seasons?

Will the Nationals do what's never been done in any sport whose championship is decided in a best-of-seven and win it entirely on the road?

We're about to find out . . . Game Seven is about to get underway in Minute Maid Park . . .

Trivia: Tonight is the fortieth World Series Game Seven in history . . . and the road team has actually won more of them, weirdly enough, including the Astros two years ago . . .

Alex Bregman robs a likely double from Trea Turner by backhanding his leadoff liner . . . two more swift outs and it's Nats nothing, Astros coming up to hit.

A base hit and a walk and somehow the Astros can't cash it in, with a little help from some sharp Nats leather on a night it looks like Max the Knife isn't exactly the sharpest blade on the mound . . . the question becomes how much he still has in the tank with that shoulder before the Nats have to go to the pen . . .

1-0 Astros after three full . . .

Anthony Rendon can't make the big stop on Correa's grounder up the line, it's an RBI single and first and third . . . the Nationals challenge whether Alvarez's foot was off the pad when he was tagged at third (the run would still hold up) . . . the review also gives Patrick Corbin a little extra warmup time in the Nats bullpen, which might be the real reason the Nats called for the review . . . the call stands . . . Alvarez is safe . . . Scherzer strikes Robinson Chirinos out swinging . . . it was the first hit with RISP in their last sixteen tries at home in the Series for the Astros . . .

But it's 2-0 Astros after five full . . . will that be the end of Scherzer's night?

The Astros get a leadoff pinch single (Jake Marisnick) but Corbin strikes Springer out swinging and Altuve hits into a step-and-throw double play for the side . . .

. . . but the Astros still lead it, 2-0, with Zack Greinke pitching like a master tonight . . .

Anthony Rendon hit a one-out homer into the Crawfords, and after a walk to Juan Soto Zack Greinke's coming out and Will Harris is coming in for the Astros with Howie Kendrick coming to the plate in the top of the seventh.

Greinke gets a huge standing O from the Minute Maid crowd and he earned every decibel of it tonight . . .

2-1 Astros, the Nats hitting with one out in the top of the seventh . . .

Thanks for the play-by-play thread.

Was thinking of you guyz all night.  Watched it at my son's house.

Why in the world was Greinke taken out after giving up a frozen rope HR to Rendon and then.....HEAVEN FORBID...walking Juan Soto...with only EIGHTY (80) pitches....in the final game of the season????

So, @EasyAce , going to change your avatar back to the cuter cat?

I’m sorry @corbe that your team lost. Congratulations to any Nationals fans out there.

Meh. Until the Buccos are back in the World Series,  I won't be watching ( and we know how long a wait that will be).

@All

So lucky and so fortunate to see the NATS win.   They're the 'oldest' team in the MLB and probably won't be able to repeat.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Scenario......

"Mr. Lerner.....here is the World Series trophy we promised you. 

Every Nationals player interviewed mentioned the real love the team members have for one another.

So...are we going to re-sign Anthony Rendon and Stephen Strasburg, Mr. Lerner....or are you going to follow the route of the Florida Marlins who won and broke up the roster?"

"Mike...(Rizzo), we're going to invest most of our player salaries in starting pitching.   

We're going to let Anthony go, but we're going to sign Strasburg and Cole.   Let's go after a 3rd basement like Donaldson (Braves).  We can get 3..possibly 4 players for Anthony."

Kudos to Scherzer. Pitched a heck of a game (he also is an alum of my sister's high school, so there's that)!

 Gerrit Cole already disowning Astros: ‘I’m not employed by the team’
By Ken Davidoff
October 31, 2019 | 2:35am


HOUSTON — His team just having suffered a stunning World Series Game 7 loss to end its season, Gerrit Cole held an awkward exchange with an Astros media relations official about speaking to the media late Wednesday.

“I’m not employed by the team,” declared the right-hander, who then relented, “I guess as a representative of myself …” and placed himself in front of a group of reporters.  ...  NY Post

@DCPatriot

Congrats to the Nats!
I got the series I was hoping for in the last 2 years.
(I will be more careful what I wish for in the future  :cool:).
Rendon is pretty amazing.
As was pointed out earlier, this was the "road field advantage" series.
They'll see each other again soon in Florida.

Astros future?

(1) Gerrit Cole is already making his exit, so it appears.
(2) Verlander was disappointing in the Series, but he didn't get a great deal of run support. No home starter did, on either team. His chances of winning a world Series game are getting slimmer by the year.
(3) Urquidy looked great in his start. McCullers will be ready. Aaron Sanchez should be back next year, along with Verlander and Greinke, the starters look okay.
(4) Will Wade Miley remember how to pitch after Labor Day?
(5) Hopefully Pressly returns to his lights-out, early season form. Not sure he was 100% healthy during the post season. Astros should take a look at improving the bullpen this off season. Not bad now, but could use a good lefty.
(6) Wait 'til next year.
For what it is worth, Vegas already has the Astros, less than 24 hours after the final out, the favorite to win it all in 2020.
(7) Maldonado and Chirinos aren't getting younger, another position to take a hard look at.
(8) Can Correa stay healthy for a full season?

This year has been a lot of fun. 2 no hitters, best record in team history. We still have the makings to become a dynasty, although winning last night would have helped the narrative.
