    Pressly knows the worst runner you can have on base is Albies and he walks him. You can't make this stuff up.

    If Luis Castillo of the Reds is Available for a trade for Bregman. Astros should try.

    Starting Pitching is a huge weakness.
    It has cost the Team some wins in the Postseason.

    No, it was short of being a HR. Double most likely.

    Regardless of the outcome, Dusty has got to reconstruct this lineup. Yuli hitting 7th is a disgrace. I’d go Yuli, Brantley, Altuve, Alvarez, Correa, Tucker, 3B, Maldy, Pitcher.

    On pace for two humiliating WS losses from two cursed cities.

    Even when we win, we lose.

    Altuve out would have been a homerun in 26 stadiums

    Stubbs can play defense. What’s the point without scoring?

    I honestly did not think our hitters would suck this bad tonight. I am just incredibly disappointed in this performance. I cannot believe we get to the world series and our hitters cant take advantage of atlantas depleted starting pitching. They also couldn’t take advantage of how great our pitchers were. This braves staff is very hittable. Our hitters just can’t get it done in the big moment.

    This series has been a fairytale for the Braves so far. Sometimes teams just get dealt a royal flush.

    Could be worse. Could be the Texans.

    Yup. There should never be a point in a 7 game series where the worse team has played more home games than the better team. It totally negates HFA, and puts all the pressure on the better team right from the start.

    Also, why the **** would the World Series start on a ****ing Tuesday? The road team gets 3 games in a row on Friday, Saturday, Sunday while the better team's fans have to fight rush hour traffic and a long work day just to get to the game?? The whole thing makes no sense.

    Turns out we're on the cursed city list anyway...

    Every Houston championship always comes with a "But..." and every time a team gets close they lose in heart breaking fashion. It would have been nice to just sweep these guys or win in 5 and move on. I'm not sure how that would feel...

    Bregman will have a higher OPS than Correa next year. Always sell high and buy low.

    One things for sure... Losing a WS game is still better than being audited by the IRS!
