This is what that 'best offense' in baseball should have looked like back then. Just making the observation about them accomplishing this without Springer. It's kind of remarkable. The baseball reference page has a lower era for that guy in the post season outings. I was looking at them and thought damn, that's an ace in the making, 1.47 era in his 5 postseason outings.
No surprises. Dusty couldn’t sit one of Brantley, Tucker or Alvarez with the way they are swinging it and Bregman, Altuve and Correa’s recent inconsistency.
My view from 4 years ago on this day in 2017 game 5 altuve home run. Let's channel some of these good vibes!
Cool. This is my picture of Game #2 in LA 2017 when Springer scored what would be the game winning run in extras And my view from the Field seats I was in with my son.
Let’s hope. We don’t want to play 5 days in a row. If we get this game in tonight then the rest of the weekend will be fine.
Underrated aspect of the weather tonight. At 50 degrees with precipitation in the air, the air is gonna be cool and dense. I don’t like for there to be many home runs as a result. This greatly benefits the Astros who do not rely on the long ball like the Braves do. This is where putting the ball in play more consistently gives us a pretty important edge. Astros win 6-1.
Keep in mind, the reason we don't like it is the same for Atlanta. I might even say 5 in a row gives us a slight advantage.
Humid air is less dense than dry air. Cool air is more dense than warm air. Air under a low pressure system (like in Atlanta) is less dense than air under a high pressure system. What does this all mean tonight? Who the hell knows.
