The World Series Washington Nationals vs Houston Astros
alta:
Torre is an idiot, apparently Turner had no right to the base
It was nice to see though, the Nats finished the game under protest because of that call
alta:
tell you what, Rendon saved the MLB a major major headache by going yard after that call. If the Nats lost the game because of that call, the league would need 10 years to live it down

Amen to that brother
That would have been disastrous for MLB PR
It’s a bad rule. It’s unfortunate because of the circumstances. Turner was running as he was supposed to. It was a bad throw that led into the runner but doubt they had him anyway. It would be different if runner had made any type of move or path into the throw.
Good news is it’s a moot point. Glad for the Rendon dinger mostly cause it saved me three VERY LONG stressful innings to come.
And Soto is incredible
Stras has been awesome. Kind of wish they let him complete the game. I was not surprised to see him in the 8th cause of the pitch count and then he threw like a six pitch 8th. I was surprised to see him in the ninth. Figure it was more about match ups than anything else.
Wow. Great game Nats
One more baby. Hope we get to see the very best of Max tomorrow
Go Nats!

And the damn home plate strike zone is atrocious AGAIN tonight. Robles got the shaft twice. Balls 2-3” outside are called strikes then ones that actually catch the corner are called balls.

Game 7 starting lineups:
Nationals:
After being held to one run in three consecutive games at home, the Nats found their offense in Game 6, scoring in the first inning and hammering three home runs against the Astros. Catcher Kurt Suzuki (hip) should be ready to return to the lineup as well.- apparently Suzuki still doesn’t feel good
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- Kurt Suzuki Yan Gomes C
9) Victor Robles, CF
Astros:
Expect Houston to stick with the same lineup it had in Game 6.
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
The starting pitchers:
Nationals:
Just a few days after he woke up barely able to lift his arm, Scherzer (3-0, 2.16 ERA in postseason) will take the ball in a decisive Game 7. Scherzer was scratched from his most recent start in Sunday’s Game 5 with a muscle spasm in his neck and right trapezius muscle, but he felt much better after a cortisone shot Sunday.
Astros:
Greinke (0-2, 5.30 ERA) will make his 16th career postseason start and second in the World Series after allowing one run and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings in Houston’s Game 3 win at Washington on Friday. Greinke has pitched in two winner-take-all games in the playoffs in his career: Game 5 of the 2015 National League Division Series and the 2017 NL Wild Card Game. He’s 0-1 with seven earned runs and 12 hits allowed in 10 1/3 innings in those games.
This is the first time two Cy Young winners have faced each other in a World Series game 7.
