World Series game 7......which team are you rooting for ?.....and why ? ?

I hope the result of last night's game will give MLB managers pause before they pull from the game future-HOF starting pitchers who are dominating and only 80 or so pitches in for a relief pitcher. Let the studs pitch!

DITTO ! When Hinch (manager), rushed to remove Zack Greinke, who had pitched brilliantly, allowing only ONE HIT in 6 innings, and with a
relatively low pitch count,....I could not believe it.
I was rooting for the Astros....my wife's brother lives in Katy, Texas (Houston suburb). We visit them often, and we have seen a lot of Texas.

Furthermore, with the small lead that the Astros had going into the 7th inning, you would think Hinch would bring in one of his key relievers.
And it didn't help the Astros' cause much when their offense failed to drive in RUNS when they had several opportunities earlier in this game.

Anyway, after 95 years, I guess the Washington franchise deserved to finally win a World Series. Good for them.

Interesting contrast between Hinch panicking and Martinez leaving Scherzer in to repeatedly pitch his way out of jams.

Sportswriters were ripping Martinez all night for leaving Scherzer in too long. Was unanimous that he messed up huge. Until of course he didn't.
