Gameday Thread: WS : Nationals @ Astros Game 6 - 10-29-2019

[Blarg]

I was hoping for that. A little distance between the Nats and Astros so there is little chance of a 9th inning comeback.

Sign Rendon, too

Him, cole and strasburg oughtta do it. Get off your ass, eppler.

In Eppler's defense, he's on his ass watching all three of these future Angels play right now. Just like us.

[Duren, Duren]

Might as well keep Strasburg in for the ninth. It's his last game, so why waste an inning with someone else? And complete games are a relic of the past, so add that to the list.

I'd call that a good off-season !!!!

[Blarg]

Scherzer better sleep on a comfortable pillow tonight because he needs to take care of business tomorrow.

[Mark68]

How long a leash do you have Strasburg on here?

[ScottT]

I would leave him in.

Guess it was one batter...

Fernando Rodney time?

[Duren, Duren]

Grienke can really add an exclamation point to his career with a win tomorrow. A possible HOF player, now old and sliding into decline. Does he have it in him for the game of his career? And possibly add to his chances for a final substantial contract?  Tune in tomorrow and see.

Please, God, no. Fraudney needs to just retire.

Probably. Fraudney's been around since Married With Children was on the air...

[Blarg]

Doolittle is doing just that.

[T.G.]

Thank you for giving us a game 7!!!

[Mark68]

Tony Gwynn is smiling

[fan_since79]

First time in MLB, NHL, NBA that road team has won first 6 games of a series.

[Duren, Duren]

Verlander and Kershaw really will have their great careers tarnished by post season results. Some of it bad luck, but over time and many opportunities  they haven't risen to the occasion 

[T.G.]

I love baseball

[ten ocho recon scout]

Dude, great game.

I dont have a preference. I thought astros were gonna take it in 5. Whoever wins its cool that theres a game 7.

But damn.... who wouldve thought the nats would take the first 2 in houston? Then houston sweeps in washington. Nats back to the wall, and you get this historic performance out of strasburg, coming a game after cole dominates.

Grienke and scherzer for game 7. Grienke not the same guy, scherzer hurt. But still a pretty badass matchup.

Man.... best series ive seen in a few years. Though its tough to watch another team celebrate at chavez ravine 2 years in a row, this is still pretty rad.

True, but Verlander has one ring and if he gets another tomorrow, I don't think he will be nearly as criticized as Kershaw. JV's postseason ERA is almost identical to regular season. Kershaw's is a full two runs higher in the postseason.
