Wow, what a great game, playoff atmosphere and you got everything you wanted, Breggy did good but it didnt beat us, Correa played great, Javier pitched his ass off and you got late game drama. It was a hell of a game, the standig O Correa got was just awesome, the juice box.......errrrr, the ice box was rocking...................it was a 9/10 night and the only spoiler was Hadar being hurt. Its hard to top last night............makes Tuesday am that much sweeter. PS, man I sure miss Breggy...............love that dude
There’s a lot more parity (or just no true dominant team) in both leagues…. But moreso in the AL. I’d say any time a 100+ win regular season team gets beat early in the playoffs by a 80 or 90 win wild card team, its a major upset… even though in baseball, it can happen at any point. There’s just very little separation between any of these teams this year…. And they’re all going to end up with around 90-95 wins.
Nice win in front of 40,000. Now DFA Neris. Get Pressly. Said a prayer for Hader. Astros have won 5 of 7.
A couple of things. I was in Dallas and League city last week. Was amazed that I could not watch the Stros on My MLB Extra Innings because of blackout while in the Metroplex. that was neither here or there, but I got home in time to watch the Astros last night, and I thought Javier was going to get train wrecked watching the first inning, but kudos to him for putting it back together. Also last nights game was the firs time I felt like we could score at any given time. And that was against a very solid picture. Good to be home, but I will be missing my favorite Mexican restaurants by the end of the week. 4 days into our trip my Irish wife leaned over the table to me at my favorite restaurant and said, "No more Mexican food please".
Javier had Kikuchi type of start. Gave up a hit. Gave up a homerun. Then shutout the rest of the way. Team went on to win by 1 lol.
Again, fair. But you also have had bullshit teams like the Diamondbacks, the Phillies (in 2022), the Braves (in 2021) knock out the big dogs in the NL and make it to the WS. And this year I’d bet a lot of money that the Brewers, as ****ing awesome as they are, will find a way to **** it up.
Yes… because baseball. The Astros were one of those “bullshit” teams once upon a time (2005). Eventually led to changes to try and punish the wild card team (one game playoff).
