    You have to put all your chips in for game 4, and handle game 5 when\if you get there.
    Wining game 4 and then losing game 5 is the same result as losing game 4.

    If Stras isn't 100% for game 4, but will be for game 5, he shouldn't pitch game 4.

    It doesn't matter if there is no Game 5. Besides, it's not like they only have Strasburg to start Game 5. They have Gio and could even throw Scherzer since he'll be on almost full rest. Strasburg and then Gio/Scherzer in Game 5 gives them the best chance to win the series.

    Stras is the right move. They'd have Gio and Scherzer with their pen in G5.

    There's no G5 if you dont get G4.

    Thats more on Russell, he charged that too quickly but it also looked like Zimmerman did go the pitch before.

    I want to say that I miss these one run playoff games, but then I remember that they are absolutely agonizing if you're on the brink of elimination.

    Nats up by 1 late. Let's see if Baker can figure out how to get his 2 best BP arms in the game this time.

    Baker batting Werth 2nd and Rendon 6th is laughable. He may be worse than Snit.

    Lester picking off Zimmerman is the best moment of the playoffs so far.

    Rendon would look so good at 3b in a Braves uniform.

    Stras must not have still been sick.

    Reading comprehension really isn't your strong suit.

    Pretty incredible outing by Strasburg. Should still be 0-0 if the ump did his job.

    Looking like Hendricks vs Gio for a spot in the NLCS vs LA.

    Yeah, must've been one of those 24 hour viruses.

    But, of course, I said that a sick Strasburg is better than a healthy Roark. Yeah, I'm definitely the one with reading comprehension issues here.

    Actually you assumed he was still sick.

    Or am I remembering it wrong?
