Sets up a potential Scherzer vs Greinke game 7 if things go to 7 and this muscle issue is short term.
Kind of sucks. I'd like the hitters to get to him and win the series in style. On the other hand, we've just won two in a row and there might be tendency to relax now while they might rally around their surprise starter. Could be a trap game. Nah, we'll hit tonight. Or not. I don't want to jinx anything.
Ross was terrible out of their pen, but pitched really well as a starter after he moved to the rotation in August/Sept. He looked good against us in his 2 innings in Game 3 (his only action this postseason). Jump on his ass early.
No excuse for the Astros. Get this one and close it out on Tuesday. The last thing we need is a Game 7 of Greinke vs Scherzer. Can you imagine all the grunting we'll hear in that one?
Nats fans probably felt the same way going into yesterday. Jose Urquidy? Who da **** is that? Gonna light his ass up! Scherzer, Ross, whomever, ... just go win the damn game.
Alvarez in the outfield will be a huge test. He may get pulled early if he doesn’t produce or causes a run. def have to jump on ross early.
