    If Cole had been Cole in the WS we'd have won it in 5.

    Not to beat a dead horse or anything.

    Still like Cole, but I love that we made it further than he did. But we also need those Dodgers to die.

    The world wants Houston-LA. But we may end up with Tampa-Atlanta which is a ratings nightmare.

    Saw a stat where the expected batting average of the Astros was

    .350

    The Rays

    .180

    If this keeps up there’s a trend where the Astros can get back in the series today

    The problem for the Astros is that, just like the Rays' luck, Houston's huge advantage at hitting/pitching is unlikely to hold up.

    In a crazy year, why not have a team come back from 0-3. Astros have already had a 4 game winning streak in these playoffs.

    I tend to think so too. You can let them beat you 3 straight. Too tall of a hurdle even for a crazy 2020 season.

    I think Tuve and Bregs (maybe even Yuli) are probably good for one win a piece this series if the Baseball Gods will allow. Let's hope it plays out that way!!

    Must win today. Our bats have been solid, we have had some hard hit balls that just went to the wrong place. We got baseballed. It happens.

    Bats won't look as good today with Glasnow, so we need a little luck with Ray's errors, weakly hit seeing eye singles, bloops in the outfield..... and then a blast.
    We deserve it after the last two games. Need baseball luck on our side today.

    Or we just rock Glasnow and hit 3 bombs against him. Either that or a dogfight.

    Yarborough is pitching for the Rays, not Glasnow ... Glasnow is slated to pitch game 4 on full rest

    More like "scratched with continually choking in the playoffs".
