And this is a welcome distraction from the disappointing state of Aggie Football.

---

Aggie football is so far from being great. This team is ONE GAME away from achieving immortality.

---

No $#|+, Saturday night I didn't even think about the Ags until the 4th inning. By then it was over.

---

I should have put this comment in better context:

This is a welcome distraction. Think of all the years we've had just Aggie Football to watch and care about at this time of year.

I didn't even watch a second of the Mississippi State game, and didn't really care. The Astros were playing in the World Series. That was 100 times more important to me.

What I was saying, aren't we lucky we don't just have Aggie Football to talk about right now?

---

Exactly my point.

I don't post often, but have followed most of this thread all season.

Please don't start Reddick tomorrow.

---

Reddick will start tomorrow. He will ****ing rake.

---

But he hasn't. This whole series. He is rattled.

You have to start someone else in that spot.

---

You know he started 4/11 with 3 runs scored in the first three games right?

---

Pop ups end now. WHOOOOO!!!

Yes, but Reddick looks completely lost at the plate.

We need anyone else there in a NL situation.

Can't believe Altuve is batting 0.214 this series.

---

If he goes 2-2, then he is batting like .300

Its only 6 game sample

R.E.L.A.X.

What he's given us so far this series has been disappointing. He's had a few big ones no doubt, but multiple times he's come up in moments to do something big and he's looked lost. Tonight I don't think he ever went up in a big situation, but we need more from him and Correa tomorrow. They're our 2 best players. Right in the heart of the order. We need them to come through Wednesday night.

I'm a whiny b*tch I know, but I'm still very frustrated we lost game 4. Shouldn't have even been in question at home with Alex freaking Wood starting. Just...ugh. But gotta move on. We moved on for game 5. Move on for game 7. We've won all of the crazy games. Let's win an easy one.

Y'all know who else looks lost at the plate? Bellenger. Outside of one game he's completely sucked, and he's their clean up.

He picked the Dodgers to win in the postgame...

Makes me think of the coin flip thread.

He had chance with Fisher on 3rd to tie it back up and didn't come through. It's not impossible but hard for this team to win when Altuve and Correa go 0fer. Good news is I don't see that happening in game 7.

Ah I think you're right. Dammit.

I blame the guys on Sportstalk 790. On Monday morning, they were acting like it was over. Saying "when" the Astros win the series, etc. I was thinking "It's not over yet, guys."

Let's do this!

****ing Redding. No outs and runners on second and third and you strike out. That's the kind of **** that gets you benched on most teams. Put the ball in play. ****!!!

Today is the day.

Can't go through another day of this ***** At least yesterday I felt confident.

12 hours.

What I like about our chances is that we'll be loose. We rake when we're loose.

The guys need to take the attitude of either way this is the last game of 2018 and we're going home no matter what. Might as well go home champions. Just go get it

Just to put things into perspective, Barnes soft liner to lead off the 6th had an exit velocity of 81.1 mph. Taylor's double to score him had an exit velocity of 72.4.

Marwin's line out to end the top of the 6th had an exit velocity of 89.6 and Altuve's ground ball to end the top of the 7th had an exit velocity of 98.5.

Coming through in clutch situations involves quite a bit of luck, too. If Marwin pulls his just a little more or if Altuve finds the hole between short and third or pulls it past Turner for a double, we're not having this conversation.

Reddick is the only one who truly sucked with a chance to do some damage. Striking out removes all luck from the equation.

I'm nervous as hell but going in to game 5 I predicted whoever won that one would win the series and I'm sticking with that prediction. Let's get it!

Motto is earn history. They damn well are gunna have to earn it now.

I don't smoke week but I feel like this evening might be the ideal time for me to try it.

Wow. I knew the Taylor ball was a lucky jam shot, but not sure if they makes me feel better or worse that we lost game 6 because of a 1-2 HBP and two "hits" that were not hit that well.

Dodgers batters, as a whole, seem to have more patience at the plate, seem to work the count better and make our pitcher work harder. They look to want to put the ball in play more often and will go opposite field on you....that's good BB.

Springer and Bregman, to my eyes, are good at this also. During the series, my untrained eye sees the rest of the lineup trying to pull the ball instead of just putting the bat out there and taking what you can get by putting the ball in play. I realize that's an over-generalization....but that's what my eyes see.

Balls that drop for productive run scoring hits that aren't "hit well" are a part of the game we seem to be missing. To me that shows a good AB, patience at the plate and fighting off great pitches. The Dodgers seem to be doing a better job of that.

GO ASTROS

Game 1 was 3-1 on a Tuesday, Game 6 was 3-1 on a Tuesday. Is game 7 gonna be 7-6 on a Wednesday?
