Thanks Dave for doing this. Neutral, but love game 7's. Let's go baseball.
Llewelyn
7:55
Who would you rather see get their first ring, Kershaw or Verlander?
Dave Cameron
7:55
Verlander probably doesn't have as many more shots as Kershaw does.
BlueBirds
7:57
Is Kershaw a lock to start Game 1 regardless of who wins tonight?
Dave Cameron
7:57
Yup.
Mike
7:58
is there any way verlander is going to go 3 starts in the WS given game 1 is short rest away from yesterday already? that'd be 3 in a row on short rest.
Dave Cameron
7:58
Nah, but two starts and a relief appearance definitely possible.
Michelle
7:58
Thanks for doing this! I know you guys usually get the weekends to enjoy family.
Dave Cameron
7:58
Thanks for saying thanks!

How long are we expecting this one to go? Don't think I'm gonna be able to stay up too late, so hopefully the Astros take a big lead early.
Dave Cameron
7:59
If this goes less than 4 hours, I'll be surprised.
We're going to see a lot of pitching changes, probably multiple challenges, and more mound visits than any game in baseball history, maybe.
Mac Gwire

Girardi left CC in for several batters too long in game 5 against Cleveland. Will he have learned his lesson, or not because they still won?
Dave Cameron
8:01
I think the underreported story here is Girardi wasting Green yesterday in a game they lost anyway. So I bet he pushes CC a little too far because he probably doesn't want to use Green today.

Before first pitch, any thoughts on Dusty Baker? Nats aren't doing themselves any favors in the reputation department...
Dave Cameron
8:01
Yeah, the Nationals owners might be the worst in baseball.
8:02
Dusty wasn't the reason they lost that series.
Could they find someone who is better strategically? Maybe. I don't know if I trust them to do it, though, and they already had a guy the players liked.

Who do the Astros go to first in the bullpen after the Yanks chase Morton?
Dave Cameron
Rick
8:02
Poll question: Does Liriano get in the game?
Dave Cameron
8:03
Not unless it's a blowout
Maybe for some left-on-left match-up if Morton goes out really early, but probably not.
Mac Gwire
8:04
So to expand on the CC question, with the Astros' righty-heavy top of the order, would you pull him after he gets through the lineup the second time, no matter what?
Dave Cameron
8:04
Pretty much, yeah.
Tom
8:04
I just gotta say....this series has been great....and as a baseball fan, idc who wins...I just want a close exciting game.
Dave Cameron
8:04
Yeah
Luke
8:04
How much does home field advantage matter in a Game 7?
Dave Cameron
8:04
Maybe a bit more than in a regular game?
So something like a 5% point swing?
Owen
8:04
Does Girardi use Robertson if, say, Yanks are losing 3-2 in the top of the 4th?
Dave Cameron
8:05
If CC doesn't make it through 4, he'll probably have to.
8:06
Okay, real quick before the first pitch.
