    If we go to game 7, I feel fine about Greinke starting. We will have Urquidy + all relievers + Cole potentially available as well.

    So, are the Astros looking at possibly being the only team to be swept at home by a road team in the World Series?

    I would have more confidence in a comeback if these ABs weren't so awful.

    Not to mention that we have given JV the normal run production so far ...2 runs.

    If there is a tomorrow, I'm not so sure on that, Cole short rest, bullpen, it's not a lock that he's going to come out and be Cole on full rest starting.

    Dodgers found this out the hard way. If the situation is there for us, I'd run with the usual closers, they are used to it.

    I still trust our back 3 In the bullpen. Harris is still our best option in the pen, that includes cole (Im talking in a relief appearance). I’m
    Not going to jump off the Harris bandwagon seeing as he has to sit out there for 15 minutes while they talked about a freaking protest.

    Yeah. Currently he’s an automatic out. 2 strike pitch in the dirt and it’s over. Looks really stiff at the plate.

    Verlander hasn’t been the same since he pitched on 3 days rest

    agreed. Especially if the game is close--don't experiment. just do what we normally do

    You realize we just won 3 ****ing games in a row against them? Yet after game 2 you rode their balls and now you’re talking about how clutch they are? Where were they over the entire weekend? The bottomline is, worst case scenario, this thing is tied 3 games a piece. Both teams have alternatively looked like ass and looked great. It’s just a crazy sport.

    Yeah when you're an ace and going up against another ace, this was a disappointing outing for JV. He needed to be better.

    Astros about to be 2-4 in close out games this postseason. How sad.

    Y’all really think Cole pitches on 3 days rest?

    No, we are looking at a chance to close out game 7 and win the world series at home.

    Greinke has pitched very well against the Nationals this year.
