I feel at peace giving the ball to Greinke. He’s a living legend - more than he gets credit for in Houston, to be honest - and he understands the moment. He’ll execute the plan to the best of his ability. If he fails, hey, there’s just not enough pitching to win it all. #Astros
@MikeMitchNH I hate that he’s not stretched out more, because this could be real legend moment for him (like G7 of the 2019 World Series could have been). Not that he cares about that, of course. Kind of strange to have this $35 million pitcher lying around in a situation like this, but hey.
@_brianestrada I think they tried but the timing of the injury was bad. A week earlier and he makes another rehab start. But in some ways, Greinke at 38 not even being stretched out heightens the heroic upside. Also, Javier is ready and capable for length when needed.
