2019 World Series -- Houston Astros vs Washington Nationals

Ping.

Wow

Incredible!

I love this team!

it happened so fast

they all looked so helpless vs Zack

baseball, it can change quickly

Thrilling...but the Nationals need one more for sure.

This team has so much fun playing the game of baseball.

hoping for a cavalcade of mocking "Thank God they got Osuna" tweets

Bregman is shook

These last nine outs are going to be very difficult.

I'm always on here complaining about starters being pulled too early, but--Buck Martinez is in full second-guess mode right now--I think Hinch got Greinke out of there at exactly the right moment. He'd gotten more from him than he ever dreamed, and he handed it over to someone who's mostly been untouchable this year.

Yeah dunno why the broadcast is second guessing putting in Cole who has no relief experience and played yesterday.

That pitch Kendrick got wasn't bad either, Kendrick really fished for it.

He pulled Greinke at the right time, the second guessing will be why Harris and not Cole.

One

Each out, so important

the new market inefficiency is friendship

I remember 2002, I was being a fanboy and so sure the Giants were going to win. Was about to open up a bottle of wine I bought in Paris just two years ago. Only 5 outs and it didn't happen.

Not really ready for a championship as was only a fan since 1999 and not since I was a kid. 2010 was a very different story

feel like Rendon is due for one

Osuna is throwing a lot of pitches. This has always been a problem for him, he gets ahead but can't put guys away without going deep into counts.

I was counting on Osuna!

Love it.

Soto

And Soto is your 2019 WS MVP!

HOF and MVP talk in the middle of a game, NoTime? C'mon, focus.

Nice

Eat shit Osuna

is it just me or could Soto have scored on that

When RO was on the jays - how was he after coming back out for another inning? I feel like going back to him was a mistake (aside from the obvious reason that it was).

I do not think he could have scored

It's what NoTime said about Osuna. I think he had high save percentages--or at least no worse than normally high--but it never felt easy. He'd fiddle around, run up high counts, seemingly lose concentration, try funny windups...it was like having Mitch Williams Jr. out there.

Nervous

Still have a queasy feeling because of this Houston lineup.

What I remember is sometimes he’d be lights out and sometimes he wouldn’t be. He’d get into funks for little stretches.

jeez, that call

Really? A strike?

bring on the robo strike zone

Strike three on Correa -- worst call of the series, including the supposed interference call.

some ludicrous strike calls for both teams tonight, and all series

I ate way too much bread to relieve stress

Interference call was worse but I hear you

Corbin had a nice game

Did ilbb come to a consensus on that call? Tell me what to feel.

Not as bad as those two back-to-back pitches to Zimmerman, which in tandem doubled the size of the strike zone.

Short version: the consensus was me against IBB.

This zone has been wide all night, just mostly for Greinke. Glad he called it for the Nats for once.

ILB, I mean.

But more importantly, three outs left.

you don't run for Zimmerman here? I need that 5th run
