there's so much to unpack from today, so i'll just start listing them. tuesday was devastating for oakland, today was twice as devastating for the yankees.  they had just started to play better.

The boy and I were at the last ALCS clincher - we were walking on air for days after Altuve’s walkoff. Today, the boy is 5,000 miles and 7 hours away, with no way to watch. So we did a video chat, w

Enjoy it. Old Altuve, no more Correa means this is the very end of the road for your tainted dynasty.

How y'all feeling? Nervous? Excited? Stoic about whatever happens—happens?

Saddle up, fellas. This is where legends are made. 

I'm actually pretty mellow. Of course, had 2017 never happened, I'd be staring down from a high, precarious ledge. Don't get me wrong, though...I'm still eager to see this franchise truly validate its place in history with another title. I realize it won't convert the haters, but in a historical context, these Astros' achievements will become that much harder to downplay.  
 

Regardless of the outcome, I take solace in knowing this series was the absolute worst-case scenario for the MLB brass. In that sense, it's already been a lot of fun to watch. And if we're indeed going to fall short, I'd much rather it be to Atlanta than LA.

What’s wrong with a little shit talking amongst friends?  We are on the same page on most things Astros.

am i the only one happy about freeman's move to 3?

every time we clear the pitcher i start worrying about freeman.

Name your poison, I suppose. If we keep serving Soler fastballs on the inner half, we'll certainly boost the chances of Freeman then batting with the bases empty.

The Braves have the Astros at the brink of elimination despite scoring 18 runs to the Astros 20. 

The Astros have scored exactly two runs off homers, both solo shots from Altuve.

The Braves have scored 12 runs off homers. 

Stop giving up HRs and we probably have a pretty good chance of winning tonight.

 

I think we're due to hit 4 tonight and 5 tomorrow

Just want to point out that Fried's previous career-high for IP (inc. post-season) was 169.  He's now at 187 IP plus however many tonight.  And he's been shelled in his previous two starts.

So, he may have hit the wall.  Or his confidence may be dented after the last two outings.  Or both.

Conclusion: train gonna move tonight.
