scenario...Verlander goes 8. Youre up 1. Who is getting the last 3 outs?

How many pitches does JV have and was the 8th inning a 1-2-3 inning with no issues?

If the answers to those questions are 110 pitches and yes, then JV gets the 9th.

I agree with both of you but knowing Hinch and how he sticks to his guns, I would be shocked if it wasnt Osuna.

I know the popular answer is Harris, but I still go Osuna.

But why?

Put whoever you think gives you the best chance to get those 3 outs without giving up a run. More than likely it is your closer, but it isn't always the case.

this is probably the most accurate answer and exactly what would happen.

Is that someone we should know, or just random prediction from twitter?

the unpopular answer is Osuna, however I feel theres a mental difference pitching as a setup than a closer.

Because being the closer is as much of a mind game as anything else. Harris has been absolutely fantastic coming in in high leverage situations and getting us out of jams. It's a different mindset entirely knowing that you're coming in to close a close game in the World Series.

What year was it that Harris was having a great season and we put him at closer and he bombed?

Can't ever recall that happening. 2015 he got hit up a bit but I don't think it was the 9th inning.

Not a knock against any world series between then and in the future... but it's doubtful we ever see anything more awesome than the 2017 series. Not only was it our first, but damn that series had some epic moments. That game alone was the most unbelievable game I've ever seen!

I don't understand where all the singles that pop up throughout the day come from. Do they just hold on to them for that purpose of just randomly releasing one or two at a time for some lucky fans to pick up?

Lets hope there aren't any infield fly rules called this game. The homeplate ump is the same from the 2012 NL WC game where this happened:

I think they might have been held back by the astros for those season ticket promotions? But I'm not sure why it's only singles. That's how I got to go to game 1... I just happened to be browsing when a few got released the day before
