Baker cannot lose this series. This is what we brought him here to do. And only do. There is one mission now.
It is hard to prove sign stealing. MLB is trying to keep Pandora's box closed because once they start popping pitchers the unwritten rule of teams not asking umps to check opposing pitchers for substances will go away. With technology in game today, if pitchers stopped using illegal substances all of a sudden due to fear of getting caught, it would be noticed. I think MLB was trying to persuade pitchers not to use substances in the offseason with the new ball coming in to mask this situation.
Wut? The relievers have had to cover a below average number of innings lately. The other team scoring nearly the same amount as the Astros in a lot of games caused a lot of high leverage situations which is what added stress. Well, the Astros using the same pitchers over and over again in stressful situations also added to the stress of certain relievers, but that isn't on the starters.
nope, beat Kershaw. So that their idiot fans will have to deal with their legendary hero losing to the Astros again.
