I don't expect it, but maybe getting embarrassed will wake the Astros up in a way that losing a close one wouldn't. In September the Astros beat the A's 15-0 and then lost the next three including a 21-7 drubbing the next day.
I'll take it, could be the #momentum we need. Go Astros, fight back! Channel your inner 1996 Yankees (even though I obviously hate them LOL)!
If the Astros bring it back for Game 6, go find Rudy T and let him to the let's play ball speech to start game 6.
