World Series Game 5: It's a Best of Three

[Soxy]

There's a reason Roberts wasn't going to pitch Morrow.

 

[teddywingman]

Yeah. Morrow has nothing.

 

[VORP Speed]

Morrow was a baaaaad decision

 

[paulb0t]

Morrow throwing BP, and no plan B for Roberts?

 

[patinorange]

Sure. Leave him in to put it out of reach.

 

[shawnrbu]

Poor Dave Roberts.

 

[Couperin47]

of course...

 

[RedOctober3829]

Complete insanity

 

[glasspusher]

Roberts has misused and overworked the bullpen ever since he took Hill out in Game 2.

Lifting Hill as soon as he did was not good

 

[mauidano]

Holy shit.

 

[The Filthy One]

Jesus Christ.

 

[glasspusher]

this is nuts

 

[patinorange]

No one out.

 

[dhellers]

Sure. Leave him in to put it out of reach.

Was going to say it will take more than one run to put it out of reach... than correa.

Still, astros bullpen can easily give up 3

 

[scottyno]

Congrats mlb, you turned the biggest games of the year into a glorified home run derby by fucking with an already juiced baseball.

 

[barbed wire Bob]

They’re going to wear out the wheels on that locomotive.

 

[shawnrbu]

2 HR, a double and a single on 6 pitches.

 

[loshjott]

Almost bed time for me now.

 

[paulb0t]

Comically bad management by Roberts.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Roberts had no choice. Stripling is a gas-can with a kerosene wick near a downed power line on top of a tire-filled dumpster fire. Unfortunately gassed Morrow is no better.

 

[teddywingman]

My god. Maybe could have done better with Kershaw for a while longer... (sorry about beating a dead horse).

 

[trekfan55]

One of the most exciting games I have watched in a long time!

Following a series of exciting games.

Morrow has absolutely nothing. Roberts's magic has stopped working.

That being said, is this game Houston bullpen proof yet?

 

[bosockboy]

Honestly this isn’t a good look for the game, as compelling as it is.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Morrow just took a massive dump on national TV

 

[VORP Speed]

Roberts butchered this

 

[glasspusher]

that ball almost burned up on re entry

 

[Couperin47]

This has, heretofore, only happened in games from LoonyTunes

 

[McBride11]

So I don't think Kershaw gets the loss, but remember he started this game and now the Astros have dropped 11.

 

[patinorange]

What is this 10 minute delay?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Congrats mlb, you turned the biggest games of the year into a glorified home run derby by fucking with an already juiced baseball.

it was 1-1 to the 9th yesterday. I don't think it's affecting games that much.

 

[bosockboy]

So I don't think Kershaw gets the loss, but remember he started this game and now the Astros have dropped 11.

He coughed up a 4-0 lead. That’ll be the takeaway.

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

Four hits, four runs on 6 pitches from Morrow. That’s impressive.

 

[mauidano]

Giles proof

 

[RedOctober3829]

What is this 10 minute delay?

Streaker ran onto the field and slid into 2nd.

 

[DanoooME]

tell me more

He's a type 1 diabetic to begin with.

2008 - Sore shoulder
2009 - Biceps tendinitis
2010 - Altered his delivery to help his arm, was shut down early to protect him
2011 - Right forearm inflammation
2012 - Strained left oblique
2013 - Strained forearm, had surgery for a trapped nerve in his elbow
2014 - Torn tendon sheath in his right hand
2015/16 - Shoulder impingement surgery

Amazingly was mostly healthy this year. Until now.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

that ball almost burned up on re entry

Seriously, that thing took ages to come down.

I don't care what anyone says. This series is fun. A true war of attrition.

 

[Luis Taint]

My lights are flickering, I’m going to be pissed if the power goes out

 

[mauidano]

He coughed up a 4-0 lead. That’ll be the takeaway.

Yes. It’s on him and he’ll be the first to say it.

 

[dhappy42]

Poor Dave Roberts.

Yay for Alex Cora, tho

 

[barbed wire Bob]

Streaker ran onto the field and slid into 2nd.

Head first?

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Giles proof

I take the other side of this. This game is, by no means, over.

 

[patinorange]

Streaker ran onto the field and slid into 2nd.

Must be a dodger fan.

 

[Dewey'sCannon]

Congrats mlb, you turned the biggest games of the year into a glorified home run derby by fucking with an already juiced baseball.

I was about to say - WTF is up with the baseball? Are they Rawlings or Titleists?

 

[paulb0t]

Roberts had no choice. Stripling is a gas-can with a kerosene wick near a downed power line on top of a tire-filled dumpster fire. Unfortunately gassed Morrow is no better.

But you have him up and ready. Roberts went to an overworked Morrow with no backup. He'd had the midas touch in the playoffs with the pen until Game 2, but maybe the success made him unprepared?

Or who knows. I just kinda hate Houston now. I hope the Dodgers fans pelt Gurriel with troll dolls in game 6.

 

[ElUno20]

Too many damn homeruns

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Feels like they either crush them or they just go in the first row. How many first or second row HRs this series?

 

[patinorange]

Too many damn homeruns

Naw. No such thing.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Streaker ran onto the field and slid into 2nd.

I thought Adrian Gonzalez wasn’t with the team.

 

[DanoooME]

This game is far from over. It's not like the Astros pen has anyone trustworthy in it either.

 

[scottyno]

it was 1-1 to the 9th yesterday. I don't think it's affecting games that much.

20 home runs that have driven in over half of the series runs in 44 1/2 innings
