Does that mean the series will end without playing the 6th game?

They'll keep going but the game will be well past its peak and you'll be wondering why they even bother anymore.

Also, shouldn't every starter from Game 4 on turn up with a Strained Muscle No Really I'm Serious It's Totally Strained Owwwww so the team can replace him with a fresh AAA reliever?

neither of these teams have what you might call “good” pitchers held off the roster for lack of space

Idk I think especially in a WS you’d rather have your ace for late series relief

Through two innings, I think you can see just how unreliable trying to use random AAA relievers in a World Series game can be.

Bochy managing to use Leclerc in a game they led by 10 and won by 4 seems like a pretty solid gently caress up that could come back to bite them

He tried to get too cute and save Dunning for some unknown reason. Will Smith had 22 saves this year but he’s honestly one of the least reliable relievers I’ve ever seen. He makes Aroldis Chapman look like Mariano Rivera.

There was no reason not to use Dunning for at least 3 innings, if Eovaldi pitches badly enough tomorrow that the long man would be necessary the series would be going back to Arlington anyway and there’d be a day off for travel.

I’m legit scared since LeClerc would be pitching on his third consecutive day tomorrow if he’s used we’ll get Game 5 of the ALCS all over again and there’s no guarantees in those last two games in Arlington with how bad the Rangers have been at home this postseason + what the Sneks did in Philly in the NLCS :ohdear:

The way this season has gone, a three game losing isn't even all that improbable. Sneks are a good team. I'm not going to let myself get excited until the last out. I've been hurt too many times.
