World Series Game 5: It's a Best of Three
- Thread starter SoxFanInCali
- Start date
And? A Keuchel lead start gave up 8. Breaking balls aren't breaking. Baseballs are flying. Kershaw probably should've "only" given up 4, but this dump is completely on Morrow and Roberts at this point.
Agreed - but the problem is that everything that had worked to date fell apart. As I posted upthread, the Dodgers are 100-1 in games in which Kershaw has a four run lead. Maeda was nails for this post-season. Morrow has been money. To your point, the latter was a bad decision but everything that was supposed to work blew up for Roberts tonight. And yet this game isn't over. The Astros pen is mega leaky...
I say this game ends with a final score like this one:

Stranding the man at third with 1 out was big.
Dodgers should have scored more runs last inning.
Three run lead seems protectable here.

It's too bad baseball is so boring and not exciting like the NFL, with all its huddling and punting and touchbacks.
Liriano had a 4.73 FIP with the Blue Jays this season and an .832 OPS against. The Dodgers may climb over one another to get to the plate against him.
Not sure what being a T1DM has to do with any of his orthopedic injuries?These aren't infections
The best pitcher is baseball went 3.x innings. Is something like 119-8 with a 3 run lead and has known post season issues.
Yeah but he wouldn't have made it to third more than likely. Pederson is a meathead though for sure.
4 2/3 innings. None of the pitchers have it tonight. Funny that's how it goes, but he was pitching well until the 5th, although there's not many swings and misses to go around tonight. I'm completely bought into the slick ball theory affecting breaking balls.
You don't say?
BTW: this game is so amusing, I have had no interest in flipping back and forth to NFL or random NBA game.!
As a T1dm and surgeon this isn't accurate. If the diabetic has blood vessel damage then yes, they will have poor healing. But being a diabetic in and of itself doesn't mean you have poor healing. Blood vessel damage usually occurs from years of poorly controlled DM.
Since he is a successful pitcher who was diagnosed at the end of high school I'm guessing he has had good medical care. While I dont know his A1c, I'm guessing it is well controlled given the close medical care.
