Randy Johnson started game 6 in 2001 and came back in relief in game 7 the next night, but not sure Strasburg can do that. They will have Sanchez on full rest behind Scherzer and Corbin on 3 days rest, definitely more options than they had tonight.

that just makes no sense. if Alvarez hits a bomb, it's 7-3. he's dominated the bottom third of their order all night and the Astros' bench isn't that scary.

Yeah, he pitched deep in game 6 even though it was a blowout, too.

I think he pitched more than an inning in game 7.

Sure I remember.

Narrative is what we’re wired for. We are pattern marchers. We find narratives and patterns because we need to.
That is true, but there was like a 20 minute break while the TOR crowd went as nuts as I've ever seen a baseball crowd go, and then TEX made errors on the first three plays the next inning. I don't think it's reaching to connect the latter to the former.

Really not getting it.

Having both Hudson and Doolittle fully rested tomorrow, plus Sanchez and Scherzer would be great.

At least give Stras a baserunner.

Alive?

Why not just let Stras finish it? Let Doolittle and Hudson rest up for G7?
Come on guys---you've played sports. He may be completely exhausted and said he had a few pitches left and allowed Doolittle to get a few extra warm-ups.
