Cora used to be the Astros bench coach. There's a lot of incestuous play between these teams. Everyones mgmt knows each other quite well. Astros in trouble. Game 3 winner takes the title 70% of the time and they lost. Now ground chuck takes the mound in Charlie morton. He pitches salty but hasn't thrown in forever. Boston could walk him out of the game if he's struggling with location. Tuve still hurt in at dh Correa still hurt Osuna the wife beater was bad juju. Kemp should start and whites bat has to be in there. Reddick should probably sit. Maybe Marisnick could provide a spark. Bregmans numbers are insane but he may learn a little humility after this one. Will Harris didn't make the post season roster.
Morton will have a short leash. Today is must win mode. I had thought they might start Verlander on short rest.
Morton was the game 7 world series winner with 4 shutout innings. Game 5 was the craziest mlb game I've seen. And eventually the greatest.
