    Not that the media has any moral barometer or sense of honest truth telling, but that graphic was straight up laughable. They like to sweep under the rug that Bellinger, Yelich, and other MVP caliber players hit sub .220 this year, because it fits their nice little infomercial narrative to bash the Stros. Screw em. Finances be damned I love Carlos for repping H Town. Give him and Springer extensions after we win the 2020 WS.

    I legit would open the bank up for Correa with how much he’s put on for Houston.

    I'm glad we won but man...

    It would be like winning the championship if the Dodgers or Yankees get out in the first round. Preferably both.

    the announcers were driving me nuts about this! The fact that this season was 60 games, 60, had A TON to do with the averages. They played 37% of a full schedule so they had no time to make that climb back to respectability.

    You had Max friggin Stassi hitting over .300, 7HRs and an OPS of I believe .900. No way that lasts over 162. Just no time to turn it around for anyone so to me, not that odd given the amount of games.

    and Ravech called Pressley the MIN closer....he corrected it but you start to wonder. I know they weren’t IN THE STADIUM but they made a ton of gaffes

    They talked about how Brantley is the only one who hit over .270 and used some stat where it was 1969 when that happened last. They then segued into the fact that this post season has the 5 worst team batting averages of all time. The natural leap is to assume Houston is one of those teams based on the timing of the comment. They aren't.

    I get your point, but wouldn't it be nice to beat the Yankees and Dodgers again?

    Since you guys are talking about the commentators how about them thinking boomstick was something so original for Cruz.
    There is only one Boomstick!

    My dream scenario is facing the A’s and they hide Fiers from us again. Series goes 5 games and they’re forced to start Fiers in game 5. We light him up for 10 runs.

    Great job this series. Haven't watched any games but final scores suggest our pitching has balled out.

    Just out of curiosity, how often did Gattis catch for Fiers...? It seems Gattis strongly dislikes him...

    Beat the Dodgers in the World Series and Crane can have a trash can engraved on the side of the ring as an FU to everyone.

    I think I want the Yankees in the ALCS and the Dodgers in the WS. I want the Astros to push their **** in again. The Astros 2020 **** you tour to the rest of baseball. I love it.

    And we most certainly feel the Astros were the better team, and the better team WON !
    There was no bangin on anything when they took game 2 and 7 in their ballpark in front of their shitty fans
