    Nah... it's not, "glad I was wrong".... it's, "you're welcome (for reverse jinx)".

    Whatever. Just win the next 2. Astros have the advantage in both games.

    What is the history of a team losing the first game of a three game series in the MLB playoffs and coming back to win the next two?

    It's mostly hindsight.

    People were worried about the DP all day.

    Moving 2 RISP was the right move with 0 outs IMO.

    It lowered the chances of scoring 3 but raised the chances of scoring 2.

    Terrible but Astros will win this series if "luck" is at least even these final two games.

    I'm not even asking for luck being in our favor... just be even. Tigers got everything today.

    It also took a really good play by their catcher to get Pena.

    Well, a handful of our guys game to play. Tough way to start this series. Really disappointed with some of them.

    if the astros don't win the series, it's the first time they haven't made the alcs since '16 wihch is way more than anything you could asked for from this team; other fanbases don't get to see that

    I really think Brown and Kikuchi have that dog in them. Brown going against his hometown team. Kikuchi proving he was worth it.

    Called LWW before the game and I’m sticking with it.

    If it was the 8th inning or you were down by only 1 then ok. But that was stupid.

    In that situation, anybody in their right mind would take extra innings.

    Pena was one of the worst GIDP guys this season.

    It doesn't help that Detroit got all the f***ing luck today.

    Yeah, it’s hard to beat Cy Young, especially when he’s amped. Need 2 and I trust Brown and Kikuchi

    Detroit stranded 10 on base, you could argue luck is the only reason it was close in the 9th.

    He also was 0-3 with 3 Ks prior to this AB. And looked terrible in all of them.
