I would think they would go with Cole in a win or go home situation. No? You have to win 2 straight games regardless. It isn't like it's wild card game or game 7, win or take all. It's a we have to win 2 straight games to advance and one of those is gonna have to be a BP game regardless, so why would we throw Cole on short rest? If we had Verlander or Greinke ready to go on enough rest, maybe. But we won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if you lost a game 6 at home with a pitcher as hot as Cole available on short rest then you’d get a ton of heat. We will see if it gets to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you have evidence MLB is "deadening" the ball then this is tin foil hat stuff. I am sure if Houston can win this series, it won't be because they are a really great team, who may actually be better than NY. Nah, couldn't be that. I dont really give a **** if there is evidence or not, its never stopped me in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 You definitely save Cole for game 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that a team is willing to go against the commissioners office shows how blatant and egregious this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS22 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Absolutely love when it a pitcher who lives on the edges gets the call five inches off the zone. Hope it goes both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Zack Greinke threw 28 pitches in the first inning. He did not have his fastball command. Seven Yankees batters saw what he had to offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS22 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) It''s actually unbelievable how unlucky Yuli has been this series. Hitting the crap out of the ball right at people. .820 xBA on that line out. Edited October 18, 2019 by CAS22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAS22 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 3 balls hit over 104 MPH already for the Astros, all outs. Same **** they dealt with in Game 1, hopefully they find grass at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
