The "We don't know if they were cheating or not " Is played out and tired. Leave that to the Yankee sox and dodger dorks

You're right, but man I'm just tired of how one sided the coverage is.

But just keep beating them and let them hate

Just like Stanek's last batter in the 8th. 0-2 count, gets squeezed and a ball called a strike. 2-2 throws another strike called a ball. Guess, what, he still nutted up and got him out.

I was there so not watching the broadcast, but I'd be surprised if they even showed a replay. Compare that to the Red Sox when Castro was up and they were already setting up excuses. Then it was all anyone talked about.

This is when I knew Astros could not be beat…


Besides the Alabama game, this was the first time I have let out an audible yell of excitement for a sports play in probably a year and a half. Just unbelievable.

Not sure if this has already been posted, but a great breakdown of the 2-6 double play.

I think it was the opposite, I think Maldi has to talk him into it. That's why Graveman still seems surprised it worked.

Whatever it was - one of them definitely showed balls to call for it and stuck to their guns

This Yankee cry baby is butthurt and torn between rooting against the Red Sox but for the Astros.

Greatness!



The real comedy show starts around 4:55 mark.

Thanks, there it is. Takes extra balls to overrule Maldi - just given them respect he carries

Now that the raw emotions have gone, I want to say how PROUD I am to be an Astros fan. Last night when we got the final out I had to celebrate quietly because I was watching the game on my phone and my beautiful wife was sleeping.

I will say that in celebrating as quietly as I could, I almost teared up because I was thinking of ALL the stuff this organization has been through. With EVERYTHING being said, and I hear it all the time from my buddies "Well, ya'll are just cheating again." THIS team has proved they are beyond that scandal, and the Astros really are that talented. Whomever comes out of the NLCS better bring their A game because these Astros are hungry!

Astros top plays of the series (according to baseball-reference championship win probability added)

1) Game 6- Castro's 2 out single in the top of the 9th to break the 2-2 tie and start a huge inning.
2) Game 1- Altuve's 2 out, 2 run homer in the bottom of the 6th to tie the game at 3.
3) Game 4- Altuve's solo shot in the top of the 8th to tie it (down 2-1 at the time)
4) Game 6- Graveman/Machete's strike 'em out/throw 'em out double play in the top of the 7th (1 out, 2 on, up 2-0)
5) Game 5- Framber Valdez induces GIDP up 1-0 with 2 on in the bottom of the 5th
6) Game 1- Correa's solo shot HR in the bottom of the 7th to break a 1-1 tie.
7) Game 6- Correa's lead off double in the top of the 9th


Where is the Tucker HR from last night? That one sealed it and gave the bullpen room to close it out

Just think, there are 13 year old BoSox fans that view the Astros like I viewed the Braves 25 years ago when they bounced us every time we played them.

Even more so, Yankees fans. At least the Red Sox fan has a recent championship to focus on.

You're talking more about Yankee fans.

Boston beat us pretty good in 2018 on their way to championship.

#6 happened, but the score was not 1-1...it was 3-3.

No actual mention of the actual Tucker home run and like you said a bunch of misnumbered games.

What a weird list.

Interesting development for tonight. Looks like Max Scherzer is getting scratched from the start due to arm fatigue.

https://nypost.com/2021/10/23/max-scherzer-scratch-has-dodgers-searching-for-nlcs-answers/

Interesting to see who they throw. Don't think they can throw Walker Buehler on short rest.
They'll probably just figure out how to trade for Gerrit Cole before tonight's game. MLB will find some obscure reason to allow it.

I think saying "we have no idea" is incorrect. There are numerous pieces of evidence out of the Astros camp that this is what happened . Maybe that's not the whole story but it's at a minimum part of the story.

Astros Revenge Tour is still engaged. A's and Rays taken out at the end of the season. White Sox WS loss avenged. Red Sox 2018 ALCS loss avenged. We have history with the Braves. They took us out so many times. If we get the Dodgers, we get to smack them for talking **** about 2017.

LFG!!!

And regarding dusty. He's been absolutely perfect. It's almost like he knows we don't have to win every single regular season game so he likes putting his players in different situations to give them experience and see what they can do so he knows what buttons to push when it really matters…….

I said this earlier in the playoff series. Basically Dusty seems to be experimenting with situations to get a diversified data set on his players. And of course regularly rests players and changes the lineup pretty radically.

It leads to sub-optimal regular season wins, but leads to more data going into the playoffs where he takes a much steadier hand.

Probably time for us to stop overreacting to every single thing he does in the regular season as long as we command a fairly good lead, and I realize every game CAN matter, so it does carry a certain level of risk.

Impossible to argue that Dusty has not been absolutely stellar this post season.

And somehow this isn't common knowledge outside of Houston.

"You get the idea. While MLB and fans of teams other than the Astros would probably like to believe that Houston was the lone (or lone-ish) bad actor, that's a bit too tidy for reality. Bassitt's disclosures lend more evidence to the idea that it was more of a league-wide issue than a Houston issue."

Things worked out but I would have rather seen Dusty let Maton continue in the 7th.
Graveman has had questionable control some outings. Would rather have 1 of Graveman/stanek/moton in reserve instead of such a rigid 6/7/8 role.
