Verlander has recovered nicely and his pitch count is good for 5 innings now. Paxton is pitching well but at 97 pitches in the 6th. If someone gets on he’s getting pulled.
The crowd roars as Paxton stays in!
Game 6 tomorrow night, aka bullpen-a-thon.
NYY would be dumb to start Severino tomorrow. Even if they win, Cole vs bullpen game does not bode well
Boone said Sevy for game 7
Verlander sucked in the 1st but pretty much breezed through the rest of the game. Astros weren’t winning tonight based on how well Paxton pitched and the way they hit.
Bullpenmageddon for game 6 should be the complete opposite
The idea of bullpen games in the playoffs, much less Game 6, seems absolutely absurd to me. Whether the absurdity is good or bad, I am willing to be open to that.
Wonder how many playoff games that were not shutouts had all the runs scored in the 1st inning.
That is not correct, the Red Sox the next year in 2004. The Royals did it in 1985 and the Pirates in 1979. That is all that I know of.So the 2003 Marlins are supposedly the only team to go on the road and win 6 and 7 ever in the LCS or WS. The 92 Pirates came within one out of doing it
