Stanton may’ve been a big x-factor this postseason. Yankees went 5-0 (2-0 vs HOU) with him and 0-4 (all vs HOU) without him.
After all the battles, the stars have actually aligned well for the Astros, and all our pitchers will be going on normal rest & Cole/Verlander both get to go twice if the series goes 7
Springer hit under .200; Bregman hit under .200; and Gurriel was under .100 before the game tonight. The Astros lineup struggled mightily for the majority of this series.
And as mentioned before, Silver Slugger Grienke gets to swing the bat some in the capital. It's going to be a duel, but I never doubt them. I said it right before that walk off, never doubt them.
Did we just beat the second best team in baseball with pitching, baserunning, and defense. The Nationals are in a heap of trouble.
Home from the game. What an experience, the party in the stands and concourses just kept going. My voice is pretty much gone and couldn't be happier.
