Nationals lose game 5 7-1, Astros up 3-2 games, fat lady hasn't sung yet
There’s little to no doubt the “precaution” of not throwing Max out there is to wait for a clinching game (for or against), had he gone last night, best case is we’d be up 3-2 and they’d have two away games without the best pitcher

Game 6 starting lineups:

Nationals:
This lineup has been held to one run in three consecutive games for the first time all season. The last time the Nats scored no more than one run in three straight home games was Aug. 6-9, 2016. With the designated hitter back in Houston, Asdrúbal Cabrera returns at second base and Howie Kendrick shifts to the DH spot. Kurt Suzuki remains out of the starting lineup with a right hip injury.
1) Trea Turner, SS

2) Adam Eaton, RF

3) Anthony Rendon, 3B

4) Juan Soto, LF

5) Howie Kendrick, DH

6) Asdrúbal Cabrera, 2B

7) Ryan Zimmerman, 1B

8- Victor Robles, CF

9) Yan Gomes, C

Astros:
Back at Minute Maid Park, Yordan Alvarez returns to the lineup at designated hitter on the heels of his 3-for-3 performance in Game 5, which included a two-run homer. Josh Reddick also is back for the first time since Game 3, as well as Robinson Chirinos, who homered in Games 3 and 4 in Washington.
1) George Springer, CF

2) José Altuve, 2B

3) Michael Brantley, LF

4) Alex Bregman, 3B

5) Yuli Gurriel, 1B

6) Yordan Alvarez, DH

7) Carlos Correa, SS

8- Robinson Chirinos, C

9) Josh Reddick, RF

Starting pitchers:
Nationals:
With their season on the line, the Nationals turn to Strasburg (4-0, 1.93 ERA in the postseason). The right-hander, with a 1.34 career postseason ERA, has been one of the most dominant playoff pitchers in MLB history. His first start of the Series came during Game 2 in Houston, where he gutted out six innings of two-run ball with seven strikeouts.
Astros:
Verlander (1-3, 4.15 ERA in the postseason) will be making the 483rd start of his career, including the regular season and playoffs, but this will be his biggest. He’ll have a chance to send the Astros to their second World Series title in three seasons. He’s allowed four earned runs in three of his past four playoff starts, but the Astros’ confidence will be soaring with the 36-year-old getting the ball. Verlander is 0-5 with a 5.73 ERA in six career World Series.




and, after getting a cortisone shot in his neck on Sunday Max says he's ready for game 7...

I do feel better about facing Verlander than Cole.
Feel better with Stras pitching.


Feel better this Nats team doesn't seem to have any quit to them.

I fully expect the Nats bats to wake back up tonight, and for Strawberry to throw in excess of 10 Ks

not the start I expected from Stras, but he calmed down nicely in the 2nd






for the first time ever, the radio broadcast is about 30 seconds behind the tv broadcast :raised-eyebrow:

It sure wasn't. Umpires are as blind/corrupt as the refs.

when Joe "forehead" Buck says that's a tough call,mthat means the ump made a bad call, but the entire series has been filled with them
