WASHINGTON -- It's not the way you want a World Series game to be decided. You want Gerrit Cole, maybe the best pitcher in the game in 2019, battling Max Scherzer, maybe the best pitcher over the past several seasons, in an epic duel for the ages.
Instead we got Gerrit Cole versus Joe Ross in Game 5 when Scherzer had to be scratched due to spasms in his neck and upper right trapezius and it played out exactly like you might expect a Gerrit Cole-Joe Ross game to go.
