Verducci and SI has the best journalism on the series. Dispels a lot of the conspiracy theories from Red Sox delusions. https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/10/23/a...nado-baker-beat-red-sox-to-reach-world-series
And the Astros won zero of them with Osuna as the closer, so that's a moot point. Pressley has shown you can get an equally talented or better reliever who doesn't beat his wife. He's better in the role than Osuna ever was.
That Altuve dive/stab and throw to first to get Kike in the first with Schwarber on and NO ONE OUT was HUGE. If that ball gets through it’s a double with runners at 2nd and 3rd and still no one out. That diving grab potentially started the whole “fantastic” game by Garcia in motion. That play is getting lost a little bit since it occurred against the 2nd batter of the game. Not to mention the demoralizing wild pitch after the Schwarber strike out that had gotten through the 5 hole. That was setting up to be a big inning. HUGE stop by Jose.
Anything to improve the chances at winning a championship was Luhnow's motto. As it should be. I root for rings, not players.
You know that this is killing Springer, Club Astro would be lit if he was still here. Now I know why they call him Chazy Fizz. That boy good!
Yeah for sure. You can't take any of those bats out. Tucker is probably still above average in center.
Do you hear his interview on 610 the other day? Shameful... He wrote this article bc it makes sense click-wise. He knows most of the people interested in reading articles about this series will be from Houston.
