Cole vs. Ross

Lineups to follow...

 

[Lillie]

Torrential Rain here in New York don't know the Weather for Washington hopefully it will clear up by Tonight.

 

[cagedlion]

Nationals could use a rainout. Looks like Astros are going to run the table.....and end
this in 6 games.

 

[Lillie]

I have faith in Mad Max.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Just saw that Scherzer has been scratched from this start and replaced by Ross. Bad gig for the Nationals.

I cannot imagine how disappointed Mad Max must feel right now.

Max woke up locked up this am.
He can't lift his arm.
He had to get a cortisone injection in the Trapezius. His wife even had to help him get dressed.

After last night's loss things look even Bleaker for DC.

Yeah I think it may be over.

Scherzer is a God damn warrior, saw his pre-game comments he wants to be out there but can't. His team is going to have to pick him up tonight!

Unbelievable bad luck for Max and the Nationals.

 

[Messiah717]

Astros got their bats going and the Nationals have gone cold.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

The home team fans have grown extremely silent the last 3 games.

Last time I saw a crowd this quiet and stunned was game 5 in Atlanta 1996.

 

[cagedlion]

You could see the writing on the wall.....Max missing his turn tonight just opened the floodgates
for these Astros......there is no stopping the Houston team, unless they self destruct....... and under
their manager that ain’t likely!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Cole's 101st and 109th pitch comes in at 100 mph

 

[Mattingly23NY]

The Ump behind the plate has a loose and inconsistent Strike Zone.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

7th inning

Cole's strike 3 pitch to Robles was further outside than his ball 4 to Zimmerman

 

[Lillie]

That Fat Pig Umpire wants the Assholes to win.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Springer with a 2 run Bomb in the 9th

Final-
Asstros 7
G-Nats. 1

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Game Recap-

Night of the 2 Run Bomb;
Mad-Max Unable to Pitch
Cole Dominance...

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Gerrit Cole threw at least 104 pitches in each of his 5 Postseason starts The only other pitchers in MLB history to do that 5+ times in a Postseason are Randy Johnson (2001) and Cliff Lee (2009)

Baseball, crazy sport.....last year in the ALCS the home team won every game...this year in the WS the home team has lost every game.
