2019 WS - Nationals vs. Astros - Gamethread
- Thread starter DeadlySplitter
- Start date
Zimmerman looks like he could either be a veteran professional baseball player or a veteran insurance agent.
Nats are getting production from everyone in the lineup. Only Springer, Altuve and Gurriel are hitting with any consistency.
I guess so, but Corbin got crushed by the Dodgers out of the pen and the Astros kill lefties.
zimmerman was on a HoF trajectory before he completely lost the ability to throw to first base. the guy used to be an unreal 3b. glad to see he was able to stick around long enough to be a big part of this team. if he could play the steve pearce role in this WS they should build a statue for him
Another game turning on a team not wanting to get Eaton out badly enough.

Joe Buck: “and let me tell you about when he was in Little League during the most important game of the year...”
Sorry to remind you that it's been 15 years since we produced a starting pitcher
Oh, I agree it's risky. I just get why they're doing it if they think he's a better option than they're relievers.
I see once again Davey is mortgaging game 3 to go to Corbin tonight with the rover. makes a certain amount of sense - beating Cole would be huge
Yeah, I guess I'm saying I don't think there's much reason to think that. I have been mocking Rodney all season but Rodney. Rainey, Doolittle, Hudson, stick with the pen in this one IMO.
Yeah, because when's the last time Sanchez pitched decently in the postseason?
If you are the Astros, why is Cole back out there? You would think they may want to save his arm.
If you don't want to watch the Battle For L.A. I don't know what to tell you, man.
For what? They're likely not going to use him on short rest, which he has never done before, and this is almost certainly his last week as an Astro. He's on extra rest coming into tonight also.
Never. Sanchez was horrible in the NLCS. This series is a wrap. And the Yankees are going to get through the post-season without a loss.
I know he isnt a short rest candidate and I also doubt his agent will be as kind as Eovaldi's was last post-season. That said, I am not sure why they trot him out there when he clearly isn't sharp.
Barring a sweep, Sunday will be a sports equinox.
Thursday was theoretically possible with a rain out today or tomorrow until Houston made it since they have a roof.
With the number of pitches the Astros see and foul, I just don’t know how the Nats cobble together 1250 quality pitches or more if the series goes long. But it’s going to be fun seeing them try.
