He was very hittable if you have plate discipline. They didn't show that tonight. And it showed. Your statements don't reflect that.

Seeing the Braves fans celebrating this reminds me of 2017 how our fans were. I'll never forget how it felt getting those wins in game 2 and 3.

Were you more pissed after Game 3 of ALDS, ALCS or World Series?

---

I'd say tonight because our pitching staff held them to 2 runs and we haven't scored less than 3 runs all postseason

Giving up 2 runs should be an automatic win with this offense even having a below average night

---

Our offense has bad games, too.

The Series is going to be won if our hitters make the right adjustments after getting good glances at their pitchers.

But this doesn't feel like a bad loss. It's never fun to lose, but the fact that the game was in reach and the Braves haven't done anything remarkable shows to me that they are more vulnerable to mean reversion.

I think our offense being off balance is mostly the fault of Hallion. We suck when he's the ump, badly. Our hitters just have no idea what is going to be called.

---

While I feel like our offense will have a better game, it kind of worries me that they aren't exactly hot either.

I think it's just that many of us thought we were a lot better than Atlanta, yet here we are basically at a must win game on the road. Frustrating to say the least.

Tonight was worse than game 1 and many said that was the worst it could get. Hopefully we can tie thinks back up tomorrow.

This loss snapped the Astros 4-game winning streak in road World Series games dating back to 2017 Game 7 at Dodger Stadium. It's a must win for the Astros tomorrow to even the series at 2-2. So far, neither team has won two in a row, and that trend will need to continue for the Astros to have a good chance of winning another World Series championship.

Even when the Red Sox blew them out they managed at least 3 runs and 8 and 5 hits. Tonight was pathetic. Someone needs to lite an fire under their ass.

Astros in 5 was a pipe dream. The Braves are legit

I'm sticking with my original pick of Astros in 6.

It's one ****ing game

They were sub .500 into mid-August. Not sure I'd call it a moral victory to get stomped by them.

I'm staying with 7. Tomorrow will tell us a lot. Our biggest strength has been the biggest weakness in this series and the arm barn has been good. The bats have got to get it together

Reality: one game doesn't matter.

Unless it's a game 7.

Updated pitching for both teams. The Braves have not used Chris Martin and Tucker Davidson. The Astros looks to start Zack Greinke tomorrow.

BRAVES
*Charlie Morton - 2.1 (G1)
*Max Fried - 5.0 (G2)
*Ian Anderson 5.0 (G3)
Jesse Chavez - 0.1 (G2)
Luke Jackson - 1.2 (G1), 1.0 (G3)
Chris Martin
Kyle Wright - 1.0 (G2)
Dylan Lee - 0.2 (G2)
Tyler Matzek - 1.1 (G1), 1.0 (G3)
A.J. Minter - 2.2 (G1), 1.0 (G3)
Will Smith - 1.0 (G1), 1.0 (G3)
Drew Smyly - 1.0 (G2)
Tucker Davidson

ASTROS
*F. Valdez - 2.0 (G1)
*J. Urquidy - 5.0 (G2)
*Luis Garcia 3.2 (G3)
Zack Greinke
C. Javier - 1.1 (G2)
Yimi Garcia - 1.0 (G1), 1.2 (G3)
Kendall Graveman - 1.0 (G2), 1.0 (G3)
Phil Maton - 1.0 (G1), 0.2 (G2)
Jake Odorizzi - 2.1 (G1)
Ryan Pressly - 1.0 (G2)
Ryne Stanek - 1.0 (G1), 0.1 (G3)
Brooks Raley - 1.0 (G1), 1.0 (G3)
Blake Taylor 0.1(G3)

Exactly. He brings nothing here but *****ing.

Not wearing this one anymore.

They'll be fine.

ZG gets 9 batters
Odo and/or Javier carry the mid innings.
Maton-Stanek-Pressly close it out

Our backs are against the wall again.

Braves have shut down our lineup for most part the series. We had that one inning where we got some well-placed hits and put a crooked number up.

But outside of that we haven't done a whole lot. Braves pitching has been dominant.

Pitching has been good. It's largely not the pitching that's been the problem.

You guys can tear each other up all you want tonight, but it really is pretty simple. The Astros stars have been absolute duds so far. If they don't hit, the team doesn't win. It is way too similar to Biggio and Bagwell. Altuve, Bregman and Correa MUST show up or it is over. Period.

---

IMO Bregman is ****ing toast this year. Quad tears are a *****. Mine never healed correctly and I still have to be careful when I do serious physical exertion. Not sure if he gets right before next season.

And outside of Framber, the Braves haven't don't much offensively either. Both teams are probably regressing back a little after some big offense (especially us) in the first two rounds. Tomorrow could be fairly high scoring with the pitching.

Wasn't pitching supposed to be our weakness, not hitting? Didn't the White Sox have fearsome pitchers? Are these pitchers that much better?

Feels like we're just trying too hard.

Sounds like we need an entrance exam:

1. What was tjack's opening day attire that he will never live down?

2. What was Marvin's grand slam celebration in Cleveland?

Only the real ones will know these

The real question is have you been wearing them for these games or not
