    Id have taken Verlander out by now but ultimately Dusty gave his 40 million dollar pitcher an opportunity to clean up his mess and get a World Series win. I’m not mad at him. Like I said this is all on Verlander.

    Verlander has been saying no a lot to Maldy

    so, if the Astros score here, does Verlander get the win if they keep the lead?

    I believe in you astros. Brand new ball game. 4.5 innings to go. Just need to win by 1-0

    So if Urquidy or Garcia is pitching this series, how do you get them work so they aren't too rusty when absolutely needed?

    Feels like the back and forth game we had with the dodgers in '17...... Now we've got to have a decent inning and make their pitcher work..

    He has shown you in 2017/19/22 on what he is……

    he doesn’t contribute when it matters. Let him go in the off-season.

    They haven’t been. They’ve been winning by the long ball. JV just chooses to have his worst games in the playoffs.

    This is very suspect to be honest. Castellanos swung and they said he held up. Didn't even replay it like usual. Then boom 2 more runs.

    I think if JV is pitching again, you bring out the Tampa bay method. Use Stanek as an opener for the first time through the order, then let JV get 1 time or so through the order.
