    Excellent piece of hitting there from Correa.

    Correa, like Bagwell, at his best when he consistently makes an effort to hit the other way...

    Was that when Joe Smith was getting key ALCS outs? Pressly wasn't healthy for a lot of that year.

    In the end, it means very little... but still a nice little developing story for this season. Lidge-Dotel-Wagner, as good as they were, never pitched a post-season game together.

    I'm good luck. I just turned it back on and Correa got a double to break up the no-hitter.

    Just tuned in. I see we've semi-blown another opportunity for a sweep. Nice.

    That's not fair to Kikuchi. He's got good stuff and the ump is calling the game consistently giving both pitching staffs a big advantage over the hitters.

    Don't care if Astros lose, as long as the no hitter is gone.

    The same guy that gave up 5 runs, twice in a row his last two starts? Yes, I know his first two were good.

    Jones/McCormick/Straw got this.... add a deGoti/Toro or two and they'd definitely have it.

    Kikuchi has pitched 14 innings against the Stros this year and given up hits in 3 of them.

    No other team's bullpen gave up fewer runs 7-9. It doesn't matter the name on the back of the uniform if they get outs. Astros bullpen picked up 0 losses in the ALCS in 2019. And on Joe Smith, he got key outs in the ALCS and didn't give up the lead in the ALCS after a sun 2 ERA in the regular season.

    Throw in Diaz and they're literally the only Stros to do **** off of Kikuchi this year.
