Nothing About WS Game 5?
One for the record books - 5 hrs., 17 mins of punch and counter-punch, like a 15 round heavyweight brawl. Dodgers' vaunted relief corps seems to have a few holes in it.

Hey OcMi if you mean there's nothing about the game here on PA, look at the "How About That Didi" thread located here in Off Topic Sports ,it became the World Series thread for some reason.

I think there isn't much on it because those of us who watched it are worn out from watching it! This might be the best and/or strangest series I have watched! Wow what a game.

There were 7 home runs in total and a record 33 for the series, with more left to play. Minute Maid Park is a hitter's paradise, but most of those were launched. I was barely able to keep eyes open towards the end, but was well worth the effort. Go Astros!!!

When you start a baseball game after 8 on the east coast not many people will be around for the end. I was done by 11:30.
PS. Fox reported that game 4 rating was 7% less than last year on all platforms.

How many more would have been hit had it been 20 degrees warmer.

People like home runs more than field goals. Kneeling had nothing to do with it.

People like home runs, when they are accomplished under "normal conditions". When the numbers are inflated due to PEDs, or juiced baseballs, or more recently "slick baseballs", it just is a black eye for the game. Nobody was fooled during the Steroid Era, and nobody believes the baseballs now are made the same way they were in 2014.

Why aren't the pitchers complaining more than they are about these juiced baseballs? Don't they want to get into the "Hall Of Fame" too?

Baseball has changed. The ball is rarely in play anymore. Does that make defense count more or less? The game has become BB K HR.

An AP story yesterday noted that Verlander has stated that the baseballs used in the post season are slicker. Others mentioned even moreso in the WS.
