You're not going to hold the braves to only 3 runs and not score. Game 3 and 4 was all on the offense. The Astros lost to bullpen pitchers. The pitching has to be addressed but to overlook this offense when they should have scored is ignorance of the game.
The Braves are owned by Liberty Media. So Liberty = 44 also but even better Liberty Media = 201 like Event 201. This gematria **** is crazy lol
Damn some of y’all are crazy. Yes this game sucks and losing the series sucks but they MADE IT TO THE WORLD SERIES FOR THE THIRD TIME IN FIVE YEARS. This is the best it’s gonna get for the Astros, so if you cant enjoy this, you’re probably better off rooting for a different team. The Astros will be good next year and likely for the next 2-3 years at least. Playoff baseball is a crap shoot. Excellent season considering they had >$50M in dead money between Verlander and Greinke and they lost McCullers prior to the WS.
Braves have a 97.8% chance to win according to game tracker. I’d put it at 99.9% based on what I’ve seen so far.
That first inning was the game pretty much. 2 on, no outs, 0 runs. That hurt. Fried looked like he was about to have a breakdown and maybe with one more hit he does. He was on a short leash as everyone is in this type of game. Instead, he gets two SOs and starts rolling. That was the game.
The way Fried is going, he could easily go 8 IP or even throw a CG. Dude is making it look easy. Reminds me of how Maddux and Glavine carved up the Astros 20 years ago. It will take a miracle for the Astros to come back in this game. The Astros have an explosive offense, but it was just too inconsistent all season long. I want the Altuve of 3-5 seasons ago to come back. That Altuve was aggressive at the plate, but he didn't try to swing for the fences all the time, and his strike zone judgment was way better. Thus he had a much higher batting average, OBP and rarely struck out. Altuve has had some heroic moments this season, but overall his approach at the plate was a net negative. He tries to do too much sometimes.
Oh ok. Now it’s you’re not going to hold them. I wonder why. Oh I know pitching. I knew that already though
They are young rookies. Remember how this team looked in 2012- 2014? In basketball terms, KPJ, JG, Alperen Sengun and Josh Christopher are legit. They are raw, but they are major talents. We just need a better coach.
