Let's hope he brings that magic to us.I give all the credit to Cora
Normally that would be true, but in this series?Astros up 3-2 with Verlander going. In the drivers seat.
Those were all good calls.all these hitters make low & outside pitches look easy to hit. on both teams.
shame a bit of a tight zone on Springer v Jansen mattered.
Last time I checked roller coasters don't have drivers seats.....Normally that would be true, but in this series?
It was cute, but he got it slightly wrong (the chant was at the end of a game 7 that philly was ready to win)A-Rod referencing The Garden in the 80's with the Beat LA chant.
Because they didn't sign the #1 overall the year before, Brady Aiken.How did the Astros get the # 2 pick in 2015? They weren't *that* bad in 2014.
Comp pick when they didnt sign their 2014 pick.How did the Astros get the # 2 pick in 2015? They weren't *that* bad in 2014.
I'll repeat what a lot of others have already said: A-Rod is good on TV.A-Rod also went back to game 2 and pulling Hill early.
If Roberts doesn't go to the pen so much, it's very possible they win one of games 2/5. Morrow (and Jansen?) being burnt out negates the Dodgers bullpen advantage.
at 1,040 feet, that total equals the total distance of the last 45 home runs in The BidetThis place really is a bandbox, distances of the final three HRs:
Correa-328 feet
McCann-363 feet
Puig-349 feet
Just shows you that there’s no formula for winning. The last few winners have all been built differently, going back to ‘13 Sox to the Giants, Royals, Cubs and now maybe the Astros. Us fans obsess too much over the structure of the team.30 ERs in the postseason for the Astros' bullpen in 16 games, somehow they are one win away from being champions.
I think the top handful of teams have such good young cores and such smart people running things that we're going to see some real heavyweight battles the next few years, as these teams get deeper and deeper around their stud cores already in place.Just shows you that there’s no formula for winning.

I remember a few years ago when groundball pitchers were en vogue, great speed and an awesome BP could overcome a lack of power or a low team OBP. Now the Astros have an otherworldly offense with a terrible ‘pen and they’re 1 game away from winning.
Well, I fell asleep after the top of the ninth, more's the pity. I'll have to see a replay someday.How can you sleep after watching that?
You weren't just whistling Dixie!Back to Kershaw, he's given up at least on HR in each of his 5 post-season starts this season, 8 total.
This ain't over yet.
A sped up version is on MLBN now, Altuve just tied it at 7.Well, I fell asleep after the top of the ninth, more's the pity. I'll have to see a replay someday.

Unfortunately I am in a hotel room that doesn't have mlbn. Feel so deprived! Thanks for the tip, tho. Maybe mlbn will run it later this winter. And I just figured out I fell asleep during the fifth, when it looked as though the Dodgers were winning. Since I have to have surgery in a few hours I did the right thing.A sped up version is on MLBN now, Altuve just tied it at 7.
The 945 posts in this thread beg to differ.What a shame that nobody got to see it.
I'm one, conked out after midnight after the Dodgers went quietly in the top of the 8th. 6am wake up, old man, had to do it.Its amazing how entertaining it is just reading the game thread here and wondering how many people hit the sack early and bailed
