All of a sudden it's the Astros show!

[spystud13 2371]

Poor Scooter, no one will remember now. 

[Tommy Nobis 905]

The Astros fuck

[TheFlagship 436]

Is this game 5?

[Scraps 13570]

How that Astros ass taste Dodger pitcher?

[Rustic Horn 929]

[Victor Lazlo 1777]

Holy shit. Bregman and Springer back to back in the 10th. 

Awesomeness. 

[C-Man 27246]

9 HR’s

[Limp Brisket 546]

Sending a message.

[WBT 20649]

George is getting upset 

[spystud13 2371]

Nice little 2-3 for Mitch. 

[Scraps 13570]

The hated Harold Reynolds predicted Alex Bregman as game MVP this afternoon

[spystud13 2371]

This is silly. 

[spystud13 2371]

Now put Bauer in. 

[Scraps 13570]

JA Happ may of needed a 7 run lead

[henrygandorf 29194]

gammons and another mlbn guy mentioned bregs and altuve as guys they were picking.  co-mvp?

[clapclapclap 9000]

Familiar feeling for Hinch this year.

[MC Fresh Breath 4074]

Game is in ridiculous mode.

[henrygandorf 29194]

did cora text aj asking to keep kimbrel out?  it's still a save chance and he's as good as anyone.

[Scraps 13570]

Familiar feeling for Hinch this year.

Winning?

I can’t believe I turned it off after the top of the ninth. FML. 

 

And against aggy to boot!

Bregman MVP. Ha ha ha. Awesome. 

[Smax 3800]

way to go Bregman

[Dr. Teeth 5845]

I like it but expected Segura. 

[runthebone 8027]

Mom is undefeated

[clapclapclap 9000]

Need to get her a Bregmom jersey.

[huge 3795]

Segura probably more deserving but who cares

[Scraps 13570]

Diaz owes Segura a car

[Stros 153]

All Star MVP is all about being at right place at the right time. Sucks for Segura and Springer.

He can blame his closer

[UTexasFight 9519]

This

[UTexasFight 9519]

So...
Altuve reigning AL MVP
Springer reigning WS MVP
Bregman reigning ASG MVP

Pretty pretty pretty good

[Gut Wagon 8086]

That was one crazy game. Seriously, flip a coin on MVP. Curious to see if this game gets Springer out of his recent funk. 

[Victor Lazlo 1777]

Damn, it is sure gratifying, as a long suffering Astros fan, to see our boys get the type of respect that they are getting.

I still can’t get over what a perfect microcosm that game was of the state of baseball today, for better or worse.
25 of 60 outs via K.
10 HRs.
9 BBs.
All but 1 run driven in via the long ball

Looked just like games 2 and 5 of the WS with late inning runs and HRs coming at you in waves.

[Rustic Horn 929]

I like it...Big-game Bregman.

as unlikely as it is, it's possible this type of thing has happened before, by a player from the same team.  to have 3 different players do it, that's gotta be a first.

[UTexasFight 9519]

[Goo Punch 4275]

if you polled the players before the game and asked them who the best reliever was, i'm sure that hader and diaz would have gotten a ton of votes. that they were the two guys who surrendered all those runs was pretty surprising.

[APMP 688]

Let's go get that home field advantage. No? Okay let's go beat the Dodgers staff again.

phrasing

Ha.

But also, Big Game Bregs might be the clutchiest Killer B of all.

Well yeah because there were like 5 brewers and 4 mariners on the team.  

Not saying Kimbrel over them would just be plain idiocracy.  

[huge 3795]

ok, how about Happ over Kimbrell, what was that about?

Kimbrel was on the shelf.  "Overworked"   He pitched the 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th.  

[Nice Guy Eddie 13516]

Is Bregman now allowed in the Jewish sports legends leaflet?
