    Strasburg dominated. Not much we can do about that. Hopefully Scherzer can't go that long and we can get to their bullpen that we can hit. Should be fun. Just hopping Grienke can give a solid performance.

    It was just that Verlander was nervous AF. I had never seen him all year looked that way. I wish like Chirinos and Strom came out to talk to him early like the 2nd or 3rd inning in the game to calm him down and give him a laugh or two just to break the ice.

    What if gurriel’s first shot was a little to the left?

    That and Altuve’s strikeout changed the complexion of the game.

    Verlander’s slider had zero bite on that homer. Just not clutch.

    Will Harris’ first ER turned out to be too demoralizing for us. So much so that we waved the white flag with devenski.

    Hopefully we come to play tomorrow. Sleep with our bats and Greinke can hit his spots.

    The best team will walk away tomorrow as a champion. After watching these teams play for six games, I am not sure which team it is.

    We keep losing at home because we aren't wearing orange. Our team needs some color to light it up.

    This team doesn't deserve Cole. I hope he walks.

    I was worried about that too, but kept hope. Astros just need to crush it tomorrow.

    THIS. Somebody is going to pitch better or hit better than the other guy.

    I have no idea who that is going to be, but goddam am I excited.

    If it was up to me the only three pitchers I throw out there tomorrow are Grienke, Cole, and Urquidy. Probably if I can, don’t even let their lineup see the same pitcher twice

    Can Cole channel his inner Madison Bumgarner from 2014 World Series?

    I hope Greinke is still pissed off at Soto.

    The play didn't cost them the game, even if they didn't get the 2 run homer after, we never scored again...moot point...stop whining about it.

    Thank god we’ve gotten Strasburg out of the way that dude has murdered us. I was there tonight. It was ugly.

    So glad Strasburg is done pitching this series.

    Nah really. Warriors had major injuries and Siakim averaged 21/8

    I realize you probably hate GS, but don't allow it to cloud your judgement.

    I didn't like Bregman carrying his bat to first. It was a bit smug. Show some humility.
