    Love LMJ going into L.A. and outperforming and beating Buehler.

    Not just beating them but not giving up a F'n run!!!!

    Just remember, it's not racist if it's always true :)

    I would say what an absolute embarrasment for that fan base, the city, the team, etc but that's par for the course for those guys. I hope MLB and the MLB media is sitting back laughing and enjoying this.

    Stayed up for the whole game and it was well worth it. Glorious victory. LMJ absolutely SHOVED. Considering the lineup and the circumstances/ environment- that was his best start in an Astros jersey IMO.

    Yordan with the 115 mph bomb. Maldy had a great game. Taylor with the K on Muncy with 2 runners on in the 7th. Gravedigger was FILTHY. His 2 seamer is ridiculous.

    Solid, solid damn Win.

    Trevor Bauer is awfully quiet nowadays. I wonder why…

    Shh… that ruins the narrative.

    If fact when things are mentioned now, they’re very close to suggesting that the booing and hate is making the Astros hyper-focused and fueling the success of this year.

    In the end, if more people are into baseball because the Astros are the villains, then MLB and the media will ultimately benefit.

    then there is this quote, from an idiot running a fan site, presented without any acknowledgment that it’s … you know … factually incorrect:

    “Altuve, Carlos Correa -- the way they've handled it, the way they've walked around with that bravado as if they did something special when the numbers say you guys didn't”

    why not interview Clutch and have him state that LA was using sign stealing schemes themselves? The media is trash. If you need more, check out Molly Knight … live tweeted damn near every out until the Astros took the lead and then went perfectly silent.

    You are correct!

    Then I'd have to say gm 7 ALCS as his best even though it was in relief. Four IP no runs.
