Liriano HAS to pitch because the Astros relievers are just as gassed, but man he's the scariest guy to have on the mound if you're a Houston fan. Could also strike out everyone so who knows.
I'd say so. Jansen is barely cracking 93 mph at this point. Morrow is another one who is getting abused; they've literally pitched in every game and sometimes for multiple innings at a time with 20-30+ pitches.
Who even gets WS MVP at this rate? If the Astros win it, just about everyone in the lineup has a real shot. Ditto for the Dodgers, although I think for them the standout candidates are more apparent.
Is there anyone who hasn't pitched back to back games? Lmao this is insane, at this point Verlander will come in for an inning here and still start the next game.
Another underrated aspect of this game is the versatility. There's players moving all over the diamond: Barnes, Chris Taylor, Bregman if need be, Marwin Gonzalez next inning. And Houston will shift their outfield now entirely.
Puig is a super strong dude man, he hit that ball 96 mph on an awful swing. Sure a lot of times that shouldn't be a homerun, but like the short porch is right there, all it takes it somewhat driving the ball to your pull side.
