We're like the 90s Braves. Tons of talent that gets us a long way but are only able to close the deal once. To make it worse majority of the people see that championship as tainted.

All I ask is get the series back to Houston.

I think you have to sit Bregman and put Diaz in for him. He is a liability on offense and isn't 100% at defense.

3 in a row isn't a big deal at all.

Bingo. And that last comment is why I want this one so bad, especially for Altuve.

Curious if Dusty will make any lineup adjustments. I'm doubtful he will. But I certainly think he should.

Brantley RF
Altuve 2B
Tucker CF
Yordan LF
Correa 3B
Yuli 1B
Diaz C
Greinke SS
Valdez P

It's a one game series, just win tomorrow. That's all that matters. Get up quick and play aggressive

Take his horrible 2021 postseason out of the discussion. Here's Bregman's OPS by year:

2016: .791 (rookie season)
2017: .827
2018: .926 (all star)
2019: 1.015 (2nd in AL MVP voting)
2020: .801
2021: .777
Bregman was bad in the WS in 2019 also. Tampa's pitching staff put the brakes on our offense in the ALCS. We managed to pull it out, with help from Glasnow tipping pitches, but Bregman hasn't been the same hitter since that series.

I keep waiting for him to break out of it, but he's just not the same hitter. He has no confidence at all, he gives away strike one every AB now because he almost never swings at the first pitch, and teams have noticed.

If my ******* neighbor walks down the side walk again mumbling cheaters under his breath again tonight, it might be time to Michael Myers his ass.

I think his legs are messed up and he's got no base to hit off of. But I'm just guessing.
I think so as well. I'm thinking he may need to reevaluate his offseason program.

He looks like he's swinging all arms.

Scoring 4 runs in the 3 losses. Benching Bregman or moving him down the order is not going to fix our offensive woes. It's not just him that's shtting the bed.

Well I'll go ahead and say it. Congrats to the Atlanta Braves on their 2021 World Series win! There is NO WAY the Astros can come back now. I mean, the Braves definitely have this locked up!

it's kind of something nobody wants to talk about...

Bregman is a charter member of the 1819 club (that we'll break down in the offseason).

guys that were superstars in 2018 and/or 2019...and now 2 years later are shells of their former selves.

the likes of Bellinger, Yelich, Lindor, Rendon, Jose Ramirez, et al

go figure

Not if our offense shows up.

I would have never guessed us losing this series with our pitching showing up but our offense doesn't.

It's really not in baseball, but we have to find our bats in a HURRY and we haven't come close to doing so yet this series (excluding game 2).

But he's the absolute worst and is an automatic out at the 3 hole

I really wish Tucker would've have swung 3-0 in the 3rd. Great chance he walks and then we have bases loaded with Yuli up and they can't IBB him

I think if we can get back to Houston, we win the series. It's going to be really tough, and the offense is going to have to be patient and hit with runners on. However, I'm super confident in Urquidy at home and think Garcia will be clutch in game 7.

If we get good Framber tomorrow, I think we're set up better starting pitching wise.

Offense has to step up and get us back to Houston.

Thought they were done heading into a Framber road start in the ALCS. Win tomorrow and the next game is at home

We just need to win one game Sunday night. We will have normal batting practice. We will score more than 2 runs. Their #1 is out and Framber is due to deal. Just win Sunday.

I mean, the pitch was wright down the freaking pipe. Are you saying you don't want one of our better hitters swinging at a pitch that is right down broadway so another one of our hitters can't be IBB'd?

I want Tucker taking that 3-0 down the middle pitch into outer space.

Such a lazy take.

This is baseball. You don't always play well every single time you take the field. Sometimes, the other team is just better that day. It doesn't mean that they quit.

No matter what happens 2-3-2 is absolutely the worst format.

Could have, would have, should have, it is what it is at this point.
