    Peacock and McHugh are going to have to use their wonder twin powers to take the form of elite tandem starters.

    The entire situation of the World Series is beyond massive.

    Despite 7 tripling 2, and a 2-week head-start - this Thread already has 50% views and Replies as Yankees.

    He’s a different pitcher than we faced previously.

    Has gotten rid of two of his pitches in an effort to regain some control overall. He’s been really good for LA. Let’s hope our raucous home crowd can make him feel it a bit more than usual.

    A little extra adrenaline equals a little extra over throw!

    I think your boy, Musgrove, will perform well too if given opportunity.

    Musgrove at 95-96 is really good for two innings.

    Who wouldn't LOVE a sweep, but is very unlikely with the best baseball players in the world on both teams? The likelihood of a seventh game is high.

    Tea leaves? OK, I think we take 2 of 3 in Houston and it goes back to LA with us needing to take one more on the road to win it all.

    I have tickets to game 5.. Never been to a game in the championship of any sport, or even playoffs I think. If by some miracle we win the next 2 and I get to watch my Astros clinch it I will be good to die right there in that stadium seat.

    They may be the better team. But beating the Dodgers 4 times in a row? That's a tall order.

    Stros in 5 for sure, think about how bad our guys do not want to go back to LA with all that happened, Hinch being harassed by crazy LA people and the crazy fan trying to fight our pitchers....all I know is that our crowd better be pumped and loud all 9 innings, we took home field away now we must protect our house. If we have a chance to close it out Sunday we will...
