For all their success this year, the Astros have not come back from behind in the ninth once. ---

> [@txtumbleweed](#): > > Astros leaving too many guys on base and that will bite them in the ass. This is the money post. Just too many LOB. But give credit to Nats pitching and defense. Lots of clutch D from the Nats. Just clutch pitch after clutch pitch and clutch catch and play after clutch catch and play. Classic bend but don’t break team. ---

If the score stays at 4-2, the total runs scored for the World Series will be: Nationals 31 Astros 30 ---

> [@BlankSlate](#): > > Can these guys get three more outs? This is a great underdog story. I hope they let Corbin continue. I bet they bring out Corbin with Doolittle warming up. A quick hook obviously. Check that - Doolittle’s not even warming up (or so it seems) ---

A base hit here might clinch it; a gapper nails it down. ---

Bases loaded, 1 out. All the pressure’s on Houston right now. Games 7s are always great, there’s no tomorrow. ---

Credit the Nationals, they’ve been clutch with two outs and in late innings throughout the playoffs. They earned their wins. As a Houston native, looks like I’ll get to be on the losing side of two odd statistics: Oilers blowing a 28 point lead against Buffalo, I think that is still largest blown NFL lead in playoffs. Only World Series for the home team to lose all seven games. ---
