Gameday Thread: Nationals vs. Astros - World Series Game 7

[Chuck]

HOUSTON -- As the top of the seventh inning of World Series Game 6 unfolded on Tuesday night, an unexpected sight rose from his seat in the visitors’ bullpen. Max Scherzer stretched and played a light game of catch, while those with clear sight lines began speculating about what it might mean. Scherzer was the Nationals’ probable starter for Game 7, but they had to get there first.

Ultimately, the Nationals scored two runs that inning to back Stephen Strasburg in a 7-2 win over the Astros to force Game 7 on Wednesday night. Scherzer reclaimed his seat, his warmup amounting to nothing more than what teammate Sean Doolittle called “a dry run.” Two days after the Nats scratched him from a start due to neck spasms, Scherzer asked his teammates if he looked as strong as he felt. To a man, they expressed their approval.

Game 7 is always exciting. I'm bummed I won't be able to watch most of it.

Yesterday, prior to the game - MLB network radio's Casey Stern, Jim Duquette and Jim Bowden all picked the Astros... so naturally - I'm hoping they do the same thing today.

I hope Cole pitches 2 innings and gives up 18 runs.

and gets in a fight with Alex Bregman, knocks him out with just one slap from his pimp hand, hates Houston and leaves via FA to take a hometown discount with the Angels. 

[T.G.]

Let the kids play.

 

[Angel Oracle]

Scherzer vs Grienke?

Hmm

If Scherzer is healthy, has dominated in this post-season.

Grienke has pitched mediocre ball in this post-season.

No surprise, altuve says Bregman should be mvp for the season

Bregman reminds me of Kinsler ... who I believe had something in common off the field

I can't get worked up about Bregman.  I say - "Let the kids play."  I hope the Astros lose tonight, but seriously... Bregman doesn't bother me.
