    I feel like he is the least likely to effected by the pressure. Look at his WS G7 .

    He hasnt been in the best from recently , sure. But he was fantastic earlier in the season and then fell off ( injury related ? ) .. he got some time off and threw a low # of pitches last outing.

    Hes the exact kind of salty veteran you need. Former Ace , former stopper . lets hope he can put the ball where he wants it tomorrow .

    I mean who the stros actually need is prime pedro martines , but we dont have him .. so ill take zach out of our current options

    Altuve isn’t the only one with the yips

    Every hitter has the yips with runners on.

    The constant failure is torturous to watch. You almost have to look away.

    rather have javier in this game across glasnow than greinke at this point. greinke hasn't showed anything thus far to inspire much confidence especially in a elimination game tomorrow but whatever they're down 3-0

    Long shot but anything can happen in 2020. After this series, the hope is that this will remind everyone of the '04 Red Sox.

    Typical Stros score in the first inning and after that pretty much nothing.

    I still think the Rays wouldn’t of scored four runs if it wasn’t for Baker pulling Jose. He was pitching great. Keep him in there.

    Rays defense looking like a bunch of Ozzie Smith clones. Jeeze. At least we have the same number of rings as the Yankees the last 20 years.

    Physically tired from watching this team. The playoffs are hard on my soul to watch sometimes. Good season Astros. You tried hard and the ALCS was a pretty damn good result considering everything that happened this year. Both teams played hard. Consummate professionals on both sides. Each team gave 110%.

    Beat Glasnow today and anything can happen.
    We have been in every game.
    We beat Glasnow today and there are zero reasons why we can’t win 3 straight. We have the talent with both the bats and pitchers.

    Not giving up yet. Defense is the only difference so far. We need some breaks but baseball is known for those.
