no it was a bullpen game. getting 4 out of Grienke was more than he could have asked for. Grienke''s on his last legs and not the same pitcher he was in previous years. Dusty did the right thing. Just his bullpen made 3 bad pitches and thats why they're losing.

Astros can't score runs. Their pitching has given them a chance

Looks like the Braves will wrap this one up tomorrow.

Only hope the Astros have is teams from Georgia seem to choke championships away in recent years.

Did you ever think there'd be a day you'd want a 35 mil a year guy pulled because he's not scored on?

Dusty crying presser will be pure joy.

Braves . 2 runners on , 2 out . Total of 7 pitches thrown .

1st inning grand slam. This one is over fast.

Another grand slam given up by Astros pitching.

Duvall WS MVP

Uh oh. It looks like the racist Braves will win. MANY here will get triggered.

Dude, its the first inning. Lot of game to go.

Easy there bub. Braves are throwing a guy who hasn’t pitched since June . Lot of time for the Astros to come back .

Are any of you there? If not, how could you possibly know what’s happening right now?

Ya lot of game left. But that Braves pen is automatic.

Should pull Davidson now. In some trouble. Giving Astros a chance.

What do you mean? It’s on tv.

Astros answer with 2.

Rally! Tie game!

Walks just killing both teams .

Heart of a champion right there. They finally get to one of the Braves bullpen stars. Now can they hold on and go back to Houston?

Astros rediscovered that 2 out magic. Still a long way to go.

This is going to be a 5 hour game tonight isn't it.

Fox postgame analysis has been great.

Big Papi spot on that Braves up 4-0 should have managed like this was game 7. Go for the kill. Should have not left Davidson in and went bullpen rest of the game as they have been exceptional.

Now the Astros look dangerous again.

Btw. Thought I’d switch to the Sunday night nfl game but it was over like an hour ago. And it started half hour AFTER game 5. Baseball really needs to look Seriously in shortening games.

Soler got a hit, Braves scored 4.

When Soler stopped hitting, Braves didnt score again.

I've heard that.

I've been enjoying it, but the "grumpy old man" side of me can't stand the pace of play.
4th inning, and both teams on 3rd pitcher and past the 2 hour mark. I'm a baseball "lifer" and will watch, but it's hard to imagine this is making any new fans.

Its absolutely ridiculous .

What was the pitching stat that was mentioned? Most appearances in playoff history? I doubt either of these managers really believe in the analytics. They're just trying to hold onto the game for as long as they can. It keeps them alive.

I thought Dusty's gloves and masks were keeping him alive.

I just read the average innings per start this post season is now 3.95. When you're refusing to let the starter face the lineup for the third time, you're killing one of the games' most interesting story lines.

After last night's game, I saw them ask Dusty who he was going to start tomorrow, and my response was "who cares? Whomever they start is going to be gone in the 4th inning anyway."
