Astros should end it tonight easily...I think the Yankees will quit, they know they are done. Either way though, I don't see the Nationals standing a chance, even with all the rest advantage they could possibly have.

You may want to get there and win it before you start planning the parade.

Depends on the Nats pitching.

If they pitch like they did against the Cards, they have a shot.

They also have a bunch of tough, .300 hitters.

On full rest, absolutely. If not, it would've been foolish.

If this score holds, who do the Astros give the ball to for game 6?

Cole

Cole winning it in a game 6 probably means they win, but if not, game 7 will be scary

You gotta go with Cole.

If they can just give verlander 4 runs its a wrap hes sitting the yanks down

Yup, you don’t want to risk a game 7 IMO. If they wait until game 7 to pitch him, he is pretty much useless in the WS, will only get one game most likely unless they pitch him on short rest again but that adds up quickly.

On a short rest Cole will be more hittable risking a game 7 where Stros have no legit starter with ample rest.

It is a poison pill for sure but I trust Cole more than Verl on short rest. Like I said, if they pitch him Sunday, then the rotation for the World Series will be in shambles.......if they get there.

Have you been watching the Nats? If their bats stay hot they not only have a chance but could be the favorites.

they won’t be the favorites, but they certainly have a chance

FloridaRob · Oct 18, 2019

Nats have the one thing going for them and that is momentum.

They already said they will go w/ the bullpen for game 6.... 2 days ago.... :popcorn:

This is going to go 7 games...book it.

kskboys · Oct 18, 2019

Cole and Verlander should've been on a plane to Houston this morning. Another pitcher managing snafu by Hinch.

And then to pitch Peacock tonight. He could've started game 6.

Won their last 8 @ the end of the year...are red hot. Have the starting pitching to match up w/ either team. I question their bull pen depth....but they are playing well right now.

I'll take it. Yeah...I don't get that move pitching Verlander tonight...maybe trying to end it tonight. But as soon as NY scored 4...I would have pulled him to save him for 6 or 7. Ask yourself this...who would you want? Verlander after 26 pitches or their bullpen for game 6 or 7. Sure Verlander saved their pen tonight...but @ what expense?
