Depends on if his arm is fatigued
In the past 30 yrs, only four times has the home team won each of the first 5 games of a 7 game series.
Games 6 and 7 went to the home team in all of those series. (most notoriously the DBacks in the 2001 WS vs.... you know)
We ain't dead yet!!

All is not lost. I'm not being a sunshine pumper, but damn. We are getting to watch late October baseball from a team just a few years ago had a 100 loss season. I'm disappointed in the showings in New York, but I will take this disappointment in a heartbeat over that feeling. I love the fact that, even though they are struggling, the Astros are relevant again.
and not to be a wet blanket, but I don't see either the Astros or Yankees beating the Dodgers. They are the most complete team left.

Wow. Surprised it's only been 4 times
I hope MMP can get some life back in this team.
We aren't gonna get dominant pitching performances again, we need to crush it.

What kills me is how good the SP really has been all series.
Keuchel dominates G1, Verlander does his thing G2, Morton is filthy in G3 but some ****ing fluke hits drive him out. McHugh dominates his BP relief and McCullers is stellar in his start.
If you had showed their pitching lines I wouldn't think we would be losing this series.

Ugh 2004 NLCS bad memories. Awesome ending to game 5 then 2 clunkers in st Louis.
Something tells me a Houston team will probably be the first do it.

I just know if things don't go well right away in game 6, dumbass fans will start booing the team. We have a lot of dumbass fans just like any pro franchise.
That was one of them. Didn't wanna mention it...
Sitting here watching this NLCS and the wife chimes in with...Well at least we don't have to win 4 in a row.
Silver lining guys!
Silver lining guys!
Need a rowdy crowd for game 6. Let's go Astros!
Do you think the Astros could swing by Boston on the way back to Houston and pick up their bats? They seem to have left them there in the last series
Maybe this thread needs TOFA. That will change everyone's spirits.

McCullers, then McHugh and maybe Peacock if needed.
Ready for a complete game from Verlander on Friday. Tomorrow and all day at work Friday is going to suck.
I am completely out of energy right now.
At the cubs game right now and the fix is on. Jake A getting squeezed and zone expands when cubs bat. MLB wants a NYC LA World Series. Astros need to do what the cubs are doing and just hit bombs on pitches outside the zone.

Holy *****!! They just reversed a strike out!
I would be livid if I was a Cubs fan. He missed the ball completrly and after a "discussion " they called it a foul tip. That is insane!!!
Well Davis got him anyways but now the Cubs don't have their manager for the rest of the game.
Oh well. It was a nice season. Good job to those jinxing us with all that WS ticket talk.
So they cancelled the rest of the series?!?!?! Wtf am I going to do Friday and Saturday night now?Quote:

Yep. They changed it to a five game series after the Yankees won tonight. Sorry
Weird...I'm not worried about pitching, but I am overly concerned about the bats. Reddick, Beltran, McCann and Bregman are 0 for forever...maybe move Reddick down? Move Springer down?
If you move all those guys down who bats leadoff and 2nd?
Altuve, having watched the rest of the lineup do nothing at the plate decides to join the party by going 0 fo 10 in NY.
Not that it would have mattered had he scratched out a couple of hits. There was never anyone on base ahead of him. Point is that it was a hitting sh*t show all the way up and down the lineup. Beyond pathetic. More like embarrassing.

I'm hoping Verlander and MMP will get the bats going. Anything can happen if we can switch the misfortune with bats up and post a win. From that point anything can happen at home in game 7. There isn't a SP in baseball right now that you would rather have the ball in that situation. Can't keep this lineup down forever. And, no, I don't think we move Springer out of batting first.

Me too but it means nothing if we keep posting goose eggs!

We just need a little luck like the Yankees got in game three with the infield dribbler, bloop single, and flick of the bat three run homer. We need something to get us going and take the pressure off.
Err we did get that. Don't you remember the catchers interference and two walks.
We were up 4-0
The pressure was "off"
Everything still came off the rails
I do. I was referring to game 6. The way we're pressing, I don't envision us mounting much of an attack, so a little more luck might be in order. And building a lead like that at home with Verlander on the mound would be a different scenario.
Obviously JV in game 6, and hopefully he can get us through a large portion of the game. And pray to the Lord above he gets some run support - anything, please......
IF we get to a game 7, what's the plan? Think we start LMJ (on short rest)? Morton? See how far either can get, then go with Peacock and maybe Keuchel for an inning or two? Who else out of the pen in a game 7?
