    Bochy would have won this series for the 'Stros, no doubt in my mind. But he is DONE. His retirement is very real.

    Bitter, but it went 7 games. The off-season is going to be interesting maybe this is the game that Cole go home. No way he comes back from a major disappointment.

    Stros really only hit for 3 playoff games the whole playoffs.

    Nats felt like they were dangerous almost every batter. Exacerbated by the extreme danger that was Rendon/Soto, who unquestionably outplayed every Astro bat.

    Astros were favorites that season if I remember correctly. Killer Bs got robbed.

    Good series. As entertaining as it’s going to get.

    Can we teach Deshaun Watson to hit a curve ball?

    Yeah we left a ****ing **** ton of men on. It sucks. But we also occasionally had quality contact that went right to people with said men on base. Ultimately it’s a game of inches. I’m not saying there isn’t work to be done, but whatever shortcomings they had still led them to being up 2-0 late in the 7th game of the World Series. We could run this series back and sweep them 4-0. Or get swept. It’s just so random.

    Taking my 7 and 9 year old boys. Matters more to me than anything.

    They’re going to be hella disappointed when they wake up. Huge fans.

    This would be so much worse if we lost to LA two years ago.

    Yeah. I’ve lost my passion because of it. 1995 was a long time ago.

    Time to fix the catcher and right field positions in the offseason. Reddick got way outplayed by pesky Eaton and our catchers r old and can't throw anyone out.

    I don't completely blame Hinch - you can't win if you don't score - and our offense was PATHETIC in the WS at home......

    We had traffic all night and hit some balls hard, just never got that hit with RISP that we needed to break it open and they did.

    They deserved to win, we did not........see ya next season.
