Astros will now have lost to a second year manager, and an interim manager. With both teams left for dead at the start of the summer. You can't make this stuff up.
I'm wondering. Excluding the 2017 run, how many series Astros come back to win after being down? I only remember the Yankees 2019 series, and that was only being down 0-1.
Boston last year? And it wasn't a comeback but forcing a Game 7 after being down 0-3 to the Rays in 2020 must've scared Tampa ****less.
2017 ALCS: down 3-2, won 4-3 2017 WS: down 0-1, won 4-3 2018 ALCS: down 2-1, lost 4-1 2019 ALCS: down 0-1, won 4-2 2019 WS: down 0-2, lost 4-3 2020 ALCS: down 0-3, lost 4-3 2021 ALCS: down 2-1, won 4-2 2021 WS: down 3-1, lost 4-2
I feel like an Altuve homer is what this team needs rn, I know we've got here mostly without him contributing but man it feels like when he's rolling the offense follows suit. I think Javier will keep us in it, the offense NEEDS to respond.
It feels like the Philly fans already KNOW they have it in the bag. They could very well be right. However deep down I wanna believe that this Astros team has some fight in them. I hope they have too much pride to go out like this. It’s time for our stars to show up. Altuve, Alvarez…. What are you made of?
When we win tonight and tie this at 2-2. I believe Verlander has something special to show the Phillies tomorrow. We are in great shape.
I predict Javier pitches better than McCullers (I know low bar) but Phillies still get runs. I predict the Stros bats also wake up and get hits. Stros win 7-5.
