You can't make calculations or plans for Game 5 before game 4. They are a completely different set of variables with which to work with. You have to manage game 4 and 5, like its Game 5... Independent of each other as much as possible.

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.
 
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.
 
Stras must not have still been sick.

Reading comprehension really isn't your strong suit.

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.
