Also, I’m not even mad about the Nats losing anymore. I’m convinced they would not havr given us a World Series as crazy as this. This series is absolutely nuts.

I woke up at 1am and couldn't believe the game was still on. It was 7 - 4 when we turned off the lights.

I made it to about midnight

So i guess the lesson here is that bullpens are over rated?

Not good ones lol but Jansen has been over-used and the cracks are starting to show; middle innings relief for the Dodgers has been a sore spot since their long late-season losing streak; and the Astros are ridiculous hitters who will exploit the tiniest mistake. Plus the Astros bullpen is really terrible.

Both bullpens are exhausted. Morrow gave up what, four runs on six pitches? The approach of pulling starters early is leading to games like this.

Gee, I wonder if my constant waking up last night was my inner baseball sense that there was an incredible game on. Too bad I did not listen. I dutifully checked in on the game until about 10 PM or so, saw it was in the 4th, Kershaw still pitching, up 4-0, and said, I'm getting to sleep. I figured there was at least one more game. But I was up at least a couple times before 1 and did not listen to my baseball sense. Second time I've gone to bed on a Houston come back this series. Also did it on game 2.
