The starters aren't going to be the deciding factor.

I disagree.
I think Kershaw wins the game tonight. (game decided by the time he leaves)
I think Verlander wins Game 6. (game decided by the time he leaves)
And you see a repeat of ALCS game 7 for McMorton.

Decided before they leave like game 2 or last night?

Does this WS excite you ?

Like I said before, yes very much.

Back to back great world series so far, baseball might actually gain some fans.

Can't imagine Stros pen shutting em down, but Gd bless em for trying and making this a game.

Could you imagine them tagging LA's ace. For the record this was only the second time in the order.

And I meant more on the other side of the ball, I couldn't see their putrid, and now depleted, bullpen, shutting down LA at all for the last 5 innings. Colin McHugh hasn't let me down yet.

Does he come out for the bottom of the 5th?

[ChaimMoskowitz]

Wimps, or more aware of how quickly starters deteriorate as they get deeper into the game (not only bc of pitch count, also because of batters seeing him more often)? It's nice to make a narrative about how well each pitcher was doing when they were pulled, but it's not only about hits; there's also hard hit balls, falling behind in the count that shows that a pitcher is either tiring or getting more predictable.

What is he still doing in there?

Good Q. I guess with a 3 run lead, he'll chance his weakening and predictable ace over his middle relief. But as I write this, they're warming up, despite only 83 pitches.

He had no business coming out for the 5th. Better hope bonehead call by the manager doesn't bite them. Two on, two out and 2-2 on batter as I write this.

BONEHEAD CALL BY THE MANAGER!!!

[Sammy82]

WOW

[ChaimMoskowitz]

I will throw up if @jj1000 buts in and says "great game".
