What a game. I was messaging with my son and in the 7th or so I said this game felt like it would go 18 ininnings.  Lol.  After today's football game and tonight's game, I'm spent. But both turned out well in the end. Rest up and get ready for the ALCS. I'll keep staying off this thread during games as we're undefeated when I do. 

[Wulaw Horn 19,069]

Thing is nobody did any thing spectacular pitching wise. LMJ went 6 on 88 pitches. Garcia went 5 on about 70 pitches. They are starters no big deal. Hunter Brown went 2 innings but he’s been groomed for that. Then the other 5 relievers each pitched 1 inning. If we’d needed to we still could have probably squeezed another coupe innings out of Garcia, 6 for Urquidy and 6 for Javier on normal rest. Think about that- we just played a game that went 18 innings and we had another 10 or 12 innings, easily in the tank, that wouldn’t even have been asking anyone to do anything outside their comfort zone or on short rest. 
That’s mind boggling if You think about it.

Should we put Peña at leadoff to shake things up and get Altuve going in the ALCS?

Depends on the opponent. Indians yes, Yankees no.

This is why we should pistol-whip the next person that suggests trading Garcia.

If we had another bat we might have been able to score before the 12th 

[tx 3 putt 76,928]

These two teams are gonna have some fun duels in seasons to come. But kinda amusing Mariner fans thinks the Astros window is closing… do they not realize this team reloads now?

[tx 3 putt 76,928]

having two great catchers really paid off tonight 

[Guadaloopy 10,964]

Who takes the prop bet that a team sweeps its division series while its leadoff man throws up an o-fer for the entire series?

LMJ always has the best locker room celebrations.  Well especially since Reddick and the victory speedo left.

[Guadaloopy 10,964]

A little disgruntled that we weren’t the first to punch the ticket for the next round, and not at all stoked about another scrappy NL East team getting hot in the playoffs.

We're like 150-2 with Pena in the 2nd spot.  He stays put.

When the Astros aren’t given prime time, they take prime time.
