How the heck did I miss this thread? I love these types of discussions.
I know I'm way late but... I think CBeisbol was spot on. This is the World Series. There are no takesie-backsies if he gives up a walk and then a ding-dong. I'm assuming he's either your #1 or #2 based on the 18 wins. You do not want to give away a game when those guys are/were on the mound.
So, what ended up happening with the remainder of the World Series? Did you win this Game 5?
