    He's made some nice throws but he hasn't hit.

    He made some key hits/home run in the Boston series.

    Tonight he's got the rbi. Not dominating but he's made contributions.

    This is so disappointing. And what is worse is this will give the media and everyone else bullets in the gun to say this is proof we were cheating in 2017 and I have nothing to say as a comeback. 5 straight ALCS which is cool. But only one tainted title. A big let down.

    What's odd is that we are on the ropes here because we haven't hit the ball well in our 2 losses as well as today. We have the best offense in baseball and a lineup full of playoff-experienced veterans who have performed well in the playoffs. Not sure what more we could have done. Pitching has been good.

    It's baseball. There's a lot of parity in the league and these players are all getting better and better each year. Perhaps it's explained as simply as saying, "hottest team down the stretch wins". Keep in mind the Braves beat the Dodgers, who definitely had a better year than Houston.

    Luke had a nervous breakdown against the Dodgers last week and the Stros are making him like Cy Young

    Read Sports Illustrated article on Dusty....he looks up to his Dad (in heaven) when he's in a jam...if his Dad is smiling, he knows that's the way to go...if he's not smiling, you don't do it.

    Unless Dusty Baker is going to hit for Correa, Bergman and Maldonado, not sure what he can do.

    For once, pitching is not the problem. It’s our hitters.

    The so called stars of this team have been no shows. Bye Carlos, and take Bregman and Maldonado with you.

    Just ignore those people man, anyone that says that will either be a whining Dodger or Yankee fan or just stupid.

    Astros made it this far two years SINCE that scandal.

    I'm not giving him credit for an RBI with the bases loaded and he got out. Maldy could have done that!

    Just happened to be the guy up and grounds out with the bases loaded. Hardly worthy of praise. I guess he didn’t strike out or pop out.

    Game plan: Brantley single. Siri steal. Bregman bunt. Yordan sac fly. Make it happen.
