Brightside, if we lose this series but win next year, we're still a dynasty. Adding 100 wins will make extra history. Maybe 1-2 other teams last 120 years can compete with that.
The Astros need to go back to the 2017 aggressive batting strategy. Yeah they struck out a lot but they also lit up the bats. This milking the AB **** is a failure.
The odds for the series aren't looking great for the Astros either at this point. That being said if the Nats can come into Houston and take 2, then the Astros are certainly capable of doing the same in DC.
This will be a huge disappointment however you’re right that we’ll still be a heavy top 5 favorite to be back and hopefully it’s a bit humbling.
Tired from what? They played half ass half the season. Correa has been on vacation half the season. Bregman is young and his body should be made for this. Tuve and Springer both had extended times off this season. Alvarez only came up in June. TIRED? GTFO. THEY ARE CHOKING.
So either the Nationals carry this streak and they probably swept but they might hit a wall and it’s a series. No team wins forever at 89% clip. Hell maybe they win 144 next year
This wasn't their best two games.. I can't help feeling that once they got past the Yankees they felt this series was a given. Just not mentally there..
