    Home field advantage is way overrated in baseball.

    I hope Toronto pours it on in game 3 and this thing is over with in 3.

    What's even worse is that when the trainer came out to see him, Texas fans were booing. "Classy organization"

    Hopefully their psyche is hampered going forward too.... this series, after this season, and beyond.... pitchers and hitters.

    Is it possible that run-differential pointed to the idea that Toronto is actually a much better team than the Rangers, despite their record?

    Didn't catch the entire stat, but TOR became the first team since 2004 (Astros) with 6 HRs from 6 different players.

    I'm guessing it's FIRST 6 HRs from 6 different players.

    Surprising because it seemed Beltran would've multi'd before 5 teammates hit one.


    Series not over yet, but so far so good.

    It wasn't a September collapse, but looking like an October meltdown for the South Oklahoma Rangers.... Astros need to reclaim Texas as a State away from those Rival Rangers, like them good ole days.

    Them Rangers are an Aging team throwing all those their marbles towards this group, I like it!!! If they can't pull a game rabbit out of their hat this postseason, they blew a golden opportunity.

    They have Odor, Mazara, and Andrus in their 20's... And then they have a bunch of early 30 year olds. Plus a depleted farm system.

    40 is the new 30,so they can have a run for another 10 years or 2.... 30's are a tricky age,some age better others not so much.

    The Astros core is a lot younger, can that at least be a point to agree upon.
