AUBwins 10,075 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 2 hours ago, SLAG-91 said: One upside of the first couple of innings is that I got a good walk/jog in today...weather was fantastic. My hope for the Astros this season was about as far as they've gotten now...and the Red Sox have zero excuse for losing this series. Astros had thin pitching at best coming in, and no McCullers pretty much put a stick of dynamite in the staff. Bats will have to be on point and then some...can't count on that game in and game out, though. So, expectations have been managed. Yea, a few players seem to find that gear for the Astros in playoffs, particularly Correa, Altuve, Bregman. They are going to miss George though. I miss the Springer Dingers myself.

Tigerbelle 5,299 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Dang.......Game 2 is full of drama and pearls. The Braves are a lot of fun right now. Tie game in the bottom of the 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au302 2,669 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Keeping a level head since this is ATL sports after all. This team does seem like it has grown since last year. Last year was Fried, Anderson, and Rileys first crack at it. Good news is we get Morton and not Kyle Wright again. But we need Freddie to wake up if we want to pull this out imo. Lost 10/11 out there and we need to get one minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Wow, another grand Slam given up by Astros. 3 in 2 games. That's crazy. Can't win too many games giving up 4 on 1 hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The '27 Yankees would have a hard time overcoming that level of suckitude. I guess an upside is that the proverbial bullet to the head was once again delivered early, so I got a head start on some much-needed sleep last night. Grienke has to find a way to eat some innings today and maybe we can win one 13-12 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubearcat 2,137 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I feel like if Boston wins today they’ll close it out in game 6 in Houston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,075 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Crazy series of blowouts, so probably means now Boston will blow out the next 2. Depends if the trash cans have been hidden lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Honestly Houston has done worse at home recently then the road in the playoffs. When they played the Nationals for example. Every road team won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,483 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Did NOT see that outing coming from Valdez. At all. Feels like playing with house money at this point, honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
