For all their success this year, the Astros have not come back from behind in the ninth once.
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
I agree with the decision to take him out; they’d seen him 3 times and were starting to time him. The Astros relief pitching just didn’t get it done.
They didnt even show a replay of the blown DP there…get with it guys.
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)
Who, the Astros?
I’m starting to wonder. 
ETA: They’re bringing in Urquidy, so they might be able to pull it off. 
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.
!!!
Houston…you’re fucked.
So much for that!
It would take the mother of all choke jobs to blow this one.
Wow the Nats are reading my posts.
3 outs away.
No dinger for Springer.
And Hudson K’s Altuve.
Thank you Nats, for bringing it home. You can finally rest in peace tonight Walter.
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.
Game. Set. Match.
Congrats, Nats.
