Feel like Verlander will pitch amazing again tonight.

Dude is a machine. Amazing.

 

[SSPssp]

We need Verlander to be perfect and so far so good!

 

[SSPssp]

Damn it...

 

[norm9]

 

[NervousXtian]

I feel for Rich Hill though.. he was nasty today and getting pulled like that sucks.

I want to Houston to rock Maeda just because I hate pulling pitchers early.

Almost

[Doogdogg]

C'mon stros, make this a series.

 

[NervousXtian]

Damn. This game woulda had pages just a week ago.

Gonzo with a huge HR.

 

[knicks]

Wow, the lack of responses is depressing.

 

[bosh]

Feel bad for the reliever, not an experience you want to remember I'm the world series. Astros been huge the last three innings

 

[SSPssp]

Yeah I feel bad for him too. He used to be ours but we need to win!

 

[Bunta]

I don't feel sorry for Fields at all, lol.

 

[SSPssp]

Nooooooo

 

[brianjones]

Can’t believe they choked this one

Beating verlander would have been so huge

panicking and going to Jansen for 6 outs might have been a mistake..

 

[see5harp]

Uhhhh...come on stros.

 

[Bunta]

Giles gonna Giles.

 

[SSPssp]

Damn it Giles

 

[OnemanTEAM23]

lul tie game this is insane good

 

[SRTtoZ]

Holy shit!

 

[Mrbob]

Giles is the worst. You can't blow a 2 run top 10th lead.

 

[linkboy]

How in the hell do you fuck that up.

 

[brianjones]

Umpire just saved a wild throw holy shit

 

[SSPssp]

Devinski got so lucky there! On to the 11th.

 

[Amory]

Yo this game is crazy...

Kiké is a playoff god

 

[bosh]

Umpire just saved a wild throw holy shit

I have not seen that in a long time . Crazy 10th

 

[Raziel]

Can’t believe they choked this one

Either that or not going to him sooner. Inherited runner in the 8th was big.

This game is over btw (McCarthy).

 

[brianjones]

Yeah they needed to win right there

Mccarthy hasn’t pitched ina year

 

[SSPssp]

Springer dinger!

 

[linkboy]

Holy shit at this game.

 

[bosh]

Holy hell! Great game for a neutral

 

[Raziel]

As badly as the Dodgers bullpen shat the bed, Roberts deserves some blame as well. Hill or Maeda had to be stretched a little longer.

 

[Amory]

Man Roberts screwed it up. Should've gone to Wood rather than this jackass. Needed to get this game

Yeah Hill especially looked great. He had at least 1 more inning if not 2

 

[Sun Drugs]

He pulled Kershaw a bit too early too yesterday IMO. He had like 80 pitches. Yes, it worked out, but you could potentially have had Kershaw go longer and a fresher Morrow and Jansen tonight

 

[linkboy]

What is up with this game.

Holy shit!

 

[SSPssp]

Yessss! Astros win!

 

[MindCollizion]

What a fucking crazy nerve-racking game.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

Craaaaaaazy game.
Post season baseball is the best.

 

[yrba1]

That was a heartbreaker, it's gonna be tough in Houston

I'm new Baseball and only watched it because I'm from Houston, are home games that much more advantageous? Sorry for noob question, thanks!

Absolutely, a big advantage is that you get to bat last every inning so you know what you need. Also every park has different dimensions so you know your field the best both on hitting and pitching. We're gonna win!

Awesome. Thanks for the explanation!

For World Series games, crowd noise does factor in but it also comes down to how the team is built to handle NL and AL rules; NL rules have the pinch hitter rule whereas AL rules have the designated hitter (DH) rule.

Ultimately, it comes down to how the managers handle their pitching staff; Dave Roberts was insistent in keeping Hill and Cingrani fresh and rotating the bullpen but that cost us the game; should've set his usual procedures aside and kept them going.

It's gonna be tough going in to Houston if the Dodgers are burnt out.

 

[gamz]

Make it happen Cubs!

[trembli0s]

Absolutely insane game, we had everything: a flat bill saving potential runs, a dude licking his fucking bat, 2 blown saves, extra innings, a wild pick off pitch off the ump's leg, massive homers, a bullpen parade, etc.

Holy shit

Go check out a game at Minute Maid next season. Live baseball is great. Especially in between beer, nachos, hot dogs, etc.

 

[Line_HTX]

Minute Maid Park is without question the undisputed best home field after that absolutely historic World Series Game 5 last night. Cannot ask for a better venue and crowd than that.
