W/Strausberg throwing Tues., and Scherzer probably Game 7 - I could easily see them still winning this thing. Not dead, but their on their heels after losing 3 straight.

And win game 6. I don't think it was intentional but it could give them massive leverage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact I give the odds of Scherzer pitching at all at less than 50/50 if it goes to 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted October 29, 2019 Trying to find examples of pitchers getting back spasms and their recovery time. Tyson Ross suffered from it on April 12th, 2017. He was down for about 10 days. Nothing about him getting a cortisone shot like Scherzer did though. Adam Wainwright missed one start in July 2019 with back spasms. Bounced back with 7 scoreless innings. No word of him getting a cortisone shot. Robbie Ray went on the 10 day IL this year with back spasms and was right back in the rotation 11 days later. Again, no word of a cortisone shot. Johnny Cueto left game 1 in the 2nd inning of the 2012 NLDS vs the Giants with back spasms. David Wells recommended a cortisone shot but I have no record of him ever getting a shot. He did not reappear in that series. (the Giants upset the Reds and went on to win the world series). https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2012/10/08/mlb-cortisone-shots/1621781/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could hardly walk 10 feet BEFORE getting 1 series of cortisone injections. Since, I have done a lot, including pitch in an alumni baseball game. I am 45. cortisone can do amazing things.

Big Blue 06 195 Posted October 30, 2019 50 minutes ago, shorepatrol said: Good call, he ran into his glove. I have no horse in this race. In fact, this is the first game I’ve watched in this series. I say this so you don’t think I’m a fan of either team. That was a focking terrible call. Technically, yes, he ran inside the base line. However, it was the barest inch or two inside the line and he corrected himself as he approached the base. He was clearly on first already when the ball got there and, I believe, hit him in the leg. The fact that he ran most of the way half a step inside the chalk had no bearing on the play. As this is a judgement call, the ump should have realized that the runner being in there didn’t impact the play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinCharge 2,397 Posted October 30, 2019 Nats should be favored to win game 7 but a good sign for the Astros was that they hammered Doolittle. Doolittle finished the 9th with some loud outs. Maybe it was just rust or maybe Doolittle is hitting a slump again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimmySmith 2,782 Posted October 30, 2019 This thing has fallen right into the Nats lap. Team is loose, bats are back awake, Scherzer (hopefully feeling good) on the hill. I expect to see Greinke and Cole and no one else for the Stros. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The glove was in front of the base offering Turner no path at all without hitting it. If anything the fielder was obstructing the path to the base without the ball.

If anything the fielder was obstructing the path to the base without the ball. Wild play. I kind of want the Nats to win, for no real reason except new team to win. My take..Turner would have been safe if he ran the baseline more properly, even with a better throw. The throw was terrible causing most of the issue, and what you point out here. However, Turner's left foot never hits dirt, it's on the infield grass the whole time until it hits the base, that's bush. And therefore I was ok with the call. Manager was hilarious.
