Our team was better this series. A hurricane didnt beat you guys. Give credit where credit's due. It's tough to lose, but don't go down this road. It's dark and full of terrors.
It definitely gave them something more to play for. There were so many great story lines and performances that went unnoticed. Beltran meant so much to this team with his leadership. If McCann isnt behind the plate all thru the playoffs, then we dont get past the Yankees. Period. Bregman's...
That game 5 was majestic. just majestic. Everyone is now getting to see the Astros and what they are capable of. The MSM gave the Astros practically no chance. I didnt mind favoring the Dodgers, b/c they are a great team, but the Astros were just as good. This offense, when firing, is...
Word from the clubhouse is that Gurriel was telling his teammates that he hasn't had much success hitting off "Chinitos". They didnt understand him, so he pointed to his eyes to explain. Doesnt make it less offensive, but it does show that there was no harmful intent. Chinito is a common term...
I am very disappointed with Yuli. His comment and action were uncalled for and insulting. I hope he comes out, apologizes and accepts whatever ruling Manfred doles out when they meet. Personally, I don't think a suspension is necessary, but I wouldn't complain if it was chosen. It's a bummer...
Go back and look at how Morton gave up those runs. 3 were on the flukiest HR you will EVER see. His stuff that night was real sharp.
McCullers wasnt the same for most of the second half of the season b/c of his back. But look at McCuller's playoff numbers and you will see that even in a...
You must not have watched Game 7 of the ALCS. I'd want no part of Morton or McCullers. McCullers throws his curveball for strikes and guys still cant hit it. He's been doing it all his career. The Astros had to win one of the first two to level the playing field. Now they are ready to come...
What an incredible ride this post-season has been. I keep thinking that people will give the Astros the credit they deserve, but it never seems to be that way. This whole series I had to listen to Judge this, and Judge that. I even heard the announcers say that Gardner played an outstanding LF...
Check out Gray's last couple starts in Yankee Stadium. Plus then go look at how he fared against the Astros this season. I should add that a "healthy" McCullers has the edge. He wasnt the same post back injury, but showed flashes. If I were a betting man, I'd take McCullers.
That game last night was weird. Frazier's homerun seemed to derail Morton, and he couldnt recover. McCullers has the advantage over Gray tonight. This is the game the Astros need to win.
Sidenote: I love seeing CC back in form and doing well. I wish it didnt come at my Astros' expense, but...
disagree there. This is a pretty standard play. Correa making it to second is the least of concerns. The runner that was on first is the priority since he was the winning run. Therefore, you hit the cut-off man and let him decide where to go with the ball.
and weird angle or not, the...
The difference in this ALCS is defense. The Astros have had it, and the Yankees have not. Marwin and Correa/Reddick have saved 3 runs with their throws. Meanwhile, Judge cant catch a ball barely above the wall or hit a cut-off man in the 9th. Sanchez can't catch the ball at home plate. It's the...
that was a crazy game last night. Harper cracks me up. He's a guy I'd like to grab a beer with. Seems like we could have a good time just talking baseball. I guess the Cubs have the better shot against the Dodgers? I think the ALCS could go either way with how the Yankees bullpen is pitching...
