World Series Game 5 Thread

The Framber makes his second start of the series versus Johnny Allstaff once again with all hands on deck out of the PETA-frustrating Bullpen. A must win game for the 1-3 Astros while Hank Aaron’s team can close it out in front of the hometown faithful on All Hallow’s Eve.

Machete for MVP.

From first inning grand slam to possibly losing the Series.

Machete is the Game 5 MVP

If Stro’s win tonight, I think Fried will get crushed in Houston.

Fried just has not looked good to me and he’s the ace. Atlanta has tossed out two starters in a row for Games 4 and 5 that had no business pitching in a WS. Atlanta is fortunate to have won 3 games.

Problem is, their best chance was probably to win Game 5. Winning even one game back in Houston will be very, very hard.

Seems like the Astros aren’t stringing together multiple games with more than 2 runs. They hit 9 in game 5, so are due to only manage a couple of runs in game 6.

True. But the Braves offense has not been consistent either.

It will be hard for Atlanta to close them out in front of their home crowd. It happened in 2019, not sure it will happen again.

We’ll see. I hope I am wrong.

I’d be frightened to turn this game over to Chavez here.

Atlanta running on fumes. Hope they close this.

yeah. If it were us, with 5 innings to go, with our bullpen, I’d be crying and spending lots of time behind the couch, peeking at the TV every once in awhile.

Jesse chavez is coming in during a high leverage situation in the world series. What a weird world we live in.

It was merely an expression to emphasize the ineptness of the pitcher, hang in there.

I’m with you fungo . But don’t forget, if you get HBP with the bases loaded you still get an RBI.

Have you ever faced a 90 mph fastball? The only thing I can do better than any major leaguer is run faster than Albert Pujols. Other than that their skills are crazy good.

As early as high school and American Legion. The harder they come in, the faster they go out.
