    Awesome all around win. ******* I love scoring runs in the playoffs after watching Biggio and Bagwell all those years.

    If we had JV and Alvarez I’d say this was our year but in baseball all you have to do is get hot at the right time....

    This was the kind of game where we did what was needed when we needed it. I knew the pitching was going to give up a few, so the offense needed to not only show up, but prosper. They did in a 2017 type manner. Springer, Correa totally locked in. Many other contributions as well.

    They just had the look of a team that was confident and focused. Kept pouring it on, even with a lead. Leave no hope for opponent. Awesome to see.

    That's such cool stat about Alejandro homering on Oct 5th for 4 years. That's some Jason Voorhees waiting for Friday the 13th ish right there. The Alejandro man will get you.

    Risk vs. Reward. If the Astros were to move on, would be super sweet to knock out the Yankees again but would suck to lose to them and hear their fans chirp for a year. Losing to TB wouldn't suck as much cuz well, it's TB.

    Yeah... but TB fans assume the Astros cheated last year even though MLB exonerated them.

    I have actually been paying attention a bit but probably more so to the AL.

    Id rather bow out to the Rays, if we get that far, than to make it to the WS and lose to the Dodgers. Go Rays. Go Padres.

    I want the Yankees and the Dodgers. It would be incredibly epic to beat both of them. If I knew for sure we’re getting past this round I’d actually root for them as well.

    Also Correa is just a beast.

    Tampa Bay has fans? I assumed they didn't.
