Playing against Verlander in an elimination game. Not where I wanted to be.

In normal circumstances, I'd 100% agree.. But this series, it wouldn't be shocking to see another double-digit affair.

Mostly because both bullpens have got be running on fumes. I know the Royals started this trend a couple years back but you really can't sustain this sort of churn in a competitive series.

Yeah, this is where the 100% analytics guys are off point (Brian Kenny etc). The idea of just purely "bullpenning" games has somewhat been turned on its head after this series. Starters that go 5+ innings will always been an amazing commodity.

Even the Yanks "super bullpen" showed the cracks in the postseason.

Dare I watch the game tonight? My nerves are still shot from Game 5. And for the record, I do *not* think the balls are juiced. I just think, that is how insane certain batters are on both these teams.

God do I love October baseball. No other sport gets close, except **maybe** NBA finals.

Hopefully I am home to watch the Dodgers force a game 7

Playoff Hockey is the best of all possible sporting post seasons. But a good world series comes really close.

Verlander is like a human sleeping pill. He has the LA order and the fans as quiet as a nursing home after they get their dinner meds.

Buying the odds that roberts will be fired after the season is over.

Moves like that loses club houses.

What did he do? I was trying to follow from my phone while trick or treating with kids. Didn't work out well.

Pulled Hill early again.

Dodgers are winning, and jansen is being asked to do a 6 out save.

Yeah the way Jansen has played the last couple, having him go for 6 outs again worries me. Good news is if he gets through this, he faces the bottom of the lineup next.

Great defensive play there.

Dodgers manager seems like he’s way over managing this series, but it’s working out right now.

Roberts has managed the exact same way from the Dbacks series to game 6 of the World Series. hasnt changed it at al.

I thought game 7 was in Houston for some reason, but its in LA. Dodgers win first title since 88. Probably another wild night, but I think Puig will be the hero and Kershaw will redeem himself and close out the final 3 outs.
