OH FFS Frank, if it's the World Series or not you apply the rules as written. You don't let things go because you believe "the world is watching."
A-Rod is a chode arguing the call was wrong. We get it dude we know who you want to win. Just put on your W hat and jersey and stop trying to hide it.
Pretty much everyone but Astros fans and people that know the rules think the call was atrocious.

I can appreciate a good bat flip. Carrying your bat to first is just lame and awkward.

We'll find out tonight I guess if Scherzer's injury was real or fake. Reports were that he couldn't lift his arm a couple of days ago. If he goes out there and throws 90+ solid pitches, IMO the injury was BS.
I agree. Big advantage for Houston.Rustys-Beef-o-Reeno said:Wabs said:

Fairly certain the nats plan wasn't for Scherzer to fake an injury game 5 and plan on winning 2 elimination games on the road
The injury is real and the cortisone shot def could help, but in my opinion he will be noticeably weaker and his mechanics will probably be pretty ****ty. Not concerned, I think he leaves stuff elevated and we mash early before hanging on late
5-4 final

If he's not hurt, why fabricate the story? Why not just scratch him from the game?
Yes, I agree. That would be dumb. I'm not saying there is absolutely no injury and they were faking the entire thing. But the stories of the severity of the injury could have been exaggerated if he comes out tonight and throws 90+ effective pitches. There's a possibility he may of had minor soreness (or whatever) and they decided against throwing him against Cole in game 5. He's a pitcher that uses every ounce of strength just about on every pitch. If he couldn't lift his arm a few days ago, I highly doubt he could come out and be vintage Scherzer tonight. We'll see....Rustys-Beef-o-Reeno said:Wabs said:

Astros need to change it up and either go blue tops or orange tops. Blue tops would force Nationals to wear something else.

Holy Crap..The call that didn't matter "but could have" . I don't remember this call being debated as much on MLB Network.

I said it when the news came out...they knew this thing was going 7 and wanted him for that game. Call me crazy, but if vintage Scherzer is on the mound tonight, you can take it to the bank that the injury was fabricated
I have been saying this for 2 years. He is effing 36 years old. Next year he better be on a serious pitch count.Bregxit said:
My opinion on JV is that he is just worn out. I remember being concerned back in August and early September when he was running pitch counts of around 110 for many starts in a row.
and??? He just needs to go 4 or 5. Urquidy, Josh James(much better at home), Joe Smith, Cole, and Osuna are all more than ready.Philip J Fry said:
So I'll be doom and gloom here. I don't like our chances tomorrow at all. Greinke has never shown the ability to go deep into a post season game. Our chance was with game 1 and we blew it.
I cannot believe Cole/Verlander went 1/4.
owww....yes let's fake an injury and bench our ace and sacrifice game 5 so he can pitch a game 7 thay may not ever happen. Me thinks you don't know how mind games or regular games work.crowman2010 said:aftershock said:Wabs said:

You really have no idea how mind games work, do you?
He had a bad ~8 game stretch in the middle of the season, too. I think it's a mixture of regular ebb and flow of the game and the number of pitches thrown.gigemJTH12 said:I have been saying this for 2 years. He is effing 36 years old. Next year he better be on a serious pitch count.Bregxit said:

Scherzer may have not have been 100% ready for G5. He could have had minor soreness or "didn't feel right", or whatever. So, they decided instead of pitching a less than 100% Scherzer against Cole, they went with another pitcher at home, knowing they had Stras and potentially a 100% (by then) Scherzer for game 7 - NOT against Cole.CoachRTM said:crowman2010 said:

I know you're probably just following a conspiracy rabbit hole, but there's is absolutely zero chance they don't pitch Scherzer if he was ready. On top of that, you think their super secret plan was to have Joe Ross start at World Series game?
They decided to pitch Ross in a pivotal game 5. No manager in his right mind is going to sacrifice a game 5 just so his ace can pitch a possible game 7. Maybe Scherzer's injury was exaggerated, but it was certainly bad enough that they thought Ross gave them a better chance. You're just looking back now that we lost game 6 because if Scherzer is healthy it works out in the Nats favor.....doesn't mean there was a conspiracy.Wabs said:Scherzer may have not have been 100% ready for G5.

My point is that if the reports are true that Scherzer couldn't even lift his arm a few days ago, how in the world can he come out tonight and pitch 90+ pretty high leverage pitches?
