Wow Astros survive again. If they come back and win this, people will need to get off their nuts and give them some credit.

Folty was trending on Twitter when the Braves gave up 11 in the first.

His velocity dropped to 92 MPH. He has 1 year left of control and should be at 7 mil. I can see Atl being a major player for Bauer this winter. Hamels and Ozuna both come off the books. Schwarber would slot in LF and then they could use that savings to go aggressive at Bauer.

Gaining Schwarber for Folty IMO helps both teams. Not to mention Theo is going to be looking at trades vs F/A to fix this team and targeting a RHSP is the right choice.

Cockroaches are pretty resilient too.

They're just a damn good team man.

Lol Dodgers and Kershaw.. so predictable.

 

[Team Chicago]

They're just a damn good team man.

definitely better than their regular season record

This was such a weird season. Can't trust the regular season records at all. That lineup is incredible.

At what point does everyone admit that Kershaw is a playoff choker??

I think it's already been acknowledged right?

I think it's because Kershaw is considered a pretty great guy off the field so they don't want to come out and say "man this guy is shit in the playoffs."

Ruh roh Rays

It is amazing that Houston has done this with out their 2 aces from last year.

I'm not sure what smoke Dusty is blowing into these guys but they are buying it hard.

I'd love to see Dusty win one at his age. That'd be a great story.

Fans? Long ago.
National Media? Never.

Not with that team.

A sub-.500 Astros team overcoming a 0-3 deficit with Dusty at the helm to win it all is NOT the story I want to see.

Astros are winning a year too early in the program.

 

[CSF77]

The right team won the AL.

 

[JimJohnson]

Pathetic by the Braves, ****. I don't want the Dodgers to win this, their fans are fucking insufferable with all the postseason complaining year after year, woe is me. And the Lakers and Dodgers winning in the same season makes me want to puke my fucking guts out.

 

[Team Chicago]

Go Rays. Was nice to see them pull tie the series up. Lowe woke up. Snell was terrific. Worked from ahead and had his offspeed pitches working to keep the Dodgers off balance which is important, that team murder fastballs.
