Gets the win in game 7 of the ALCS, gets the win for game 7 of the World Series. We owe this man for life, should never have to pay for another beer again. Lots of different bats stepped up different times but 2 game 7 wins, incredible.
When the starter doesn't go 5, it can go to the guy the official scorer deems as the most effective pitcher.aquaboss98 said:
Curious how he was credited with the win. I thought whoever the pitcher was when the lead was gained and if retained was credited with the win. Is there a rule on pitching the majority of the game? Just curious.
Pretty much defines this team's attitude.Beat40 said:
What was cool in the locker room celebration is Sparky said he got the when while interviewing Charlie, and Charlie said, "I did?"
That is awesome.
I read a good article this morning with a quote from him saying he just started trying to throw harder. I wish I could find the linkRangerRick9211 said:

I like how it appeared to me that he was instructed to not even swing. No sense in remotely risking anything. Just get ready to get 3 more outs.blindey said:

The 1985 Kansas City Royals are the only team to ever win two game 7's in the same postseason other than the Astros. Brett Saberhagen won game 7 of the 1985 World Series and Charlie Leibrandt won game 7 of the 1985 ALCS.ABATTBQ11 said:Max Power said:

Pretty sure he's the only pitcher to ever win two game 7's in the same postseason.
He was told not to swing. AJ said so in the post game interview.irish pete ag06 said:I like how it appeared to me that he was instructed to not even swing. No sense in remotely risking anything. Just get ready to get 3 more outs.blindey said:

Great stat. I wonder how many teams have played 18 games in the postseason like the Astros did this year.JJxvi said:The 1985 Kansas City Royals are the only team to ever win two game 7's in the same postseason other than the Astros.
