That's surprising. I feel like George Steinbrenner would have canned him, but maybe I'm letting Seinfeld cloud my memory of the former Steinbrenner.
Castro usually waits until the day of the first game. I think it's so he can incorporate the Starting Pitchers which are often only announced the day of the first game.
I was expecting it because Wheeler pitched last and I don't think they wanted any more extra days of rest than necessary for Nola.
What is @Castor27 record as starting the World Series thread? Is he 1-2 or 1-3 Shall we consider some new blood as in @Clutch so that we can break this NL East curse.
Lol at all these folks (mostly those who don’t visit the stros forum much at all) bothering castor for a game day thread when he has his way of doing it. Keep doing you castor. Don’t change a thing

I haven't really followed Philly much, but is Syndergaard not a viable #4 for them? I see he hasn't pitched much in the postseason but I don't know if there's a reason for it or he was just not needed.
I agree … but I would prefer they throw Javier third and let McCullers face Phillies 4th or bullpen. Javier is simply the better pitcher right now. I understand that he is also the one better suited to also support game 7 on short rest if needed, but I’d rather take game 3. Maybe we need another one-day “injury” to Lance to let him save face again.
Yes I can see that but Lance at home is a different animal and I would be confident in him piggybacked by javier in a game 7. I agree Javier is the better pitcher right now so I would not be too upset if it went your way.
And even crazier Randy Johnson wins game 6 throwing 104 pitches and then comes back the next night to get the last 4 recorded Yankee outs on 17 pitches and ends up being the winning pitcher in game 7.
