Carlos gunna have his agents hat on in the locker room?
He's probably wearing the other team's shirt under his jersey.
Who is John Galt?

We are really about to put up a goose egg at home In the World Series with all this talent.


Attitude reflects leadership, Captain.
Agreed. I feel like Dusty is probably done, but maybe I'm wrong.

I'm sometimes a prisoner of the moment, even at 55… I think, I lose count. I rant and I say fan(atic) things from time to time, but the Houston Astros are my team. I watched Terry Puhl, Art Howe, Cheo and Csar Cedeno as a kid.

But I'll tell you what. Mrs. Marvin and I will be at West Palm in a couple of months. We'll enjoy the sun and cheer on our boys and look forward to another run. And we'll be at MMP and support the team. She will cheer incessantly and I'll curse under my breath, but we'll be there.

And I'll be here. Hopefully I'll be here talking about another playoff run, but damn sure I'll be here if the Lord hasn't called my name.

World Series runs don't grow on trees. Let's stop cursing for a minute, starting with me, and be thankful for November Baseball… even if as a bridesmaid.
Great post. Agree 100%

Got farther than anyone would have expected without Verlander and McCullers. Still doesn't suck less.

Let Greinke lead off the 9th at this point


I'd say to prove a point. ****ing Zach would be up their scrapping to get on base.

I don't think he's nearly as big of a ***** as Cole.

We'll all be back next year. This our team.. not any player or coach or owner.

Hopefully Bregman doesn't suck still.

And this is a Braves team who is missing two aces (Soroka and Morton) along with one of the probably top 5 players in the NL (Acuna) and a big bat in Ozuna

Did you forget we're missing McCullers?

Look at that no-heart Bregman.
Is he the vocal leader in the clubhouse that drives the energy of the team? I had no idea he was based on a few guys I've talked to that have played here. My apologies
I'm not sure what your point is. Or what mine is either to be honest.


Lol, I understand and I'm with ya. But I stand by what I've heard and what my eyes see.

Brantley, Tucker, Altuve, Bergman, Yuli and Alvarez have never been loud vocal clubhouse guys. These are all quiet guys. Notice a trend whth the ups and downs in overall team performance this year? Who has been pissed off about their contract all year after the offer from the Astros prior to the season?


You're saying Correa is so important to this team that he dictates the ups and downs of the entire team? Is this the point?

If so, you're making the point to pay him so he can keep the team up until he retire.la.


Did you see in any of my posts where it says not to resign him? Or did you see the importance in regards to the character and heart of the the vocal clubhouse leader?


Everyone on this thread understands heart and character are important.

It's just wild you're pinning the entire teams performance in WS on Correa.

Again, as Farmer asked, who are the vocal leaders on the Braves who have character and heart that are pushing their team? You aren't answered this.


I don't know the vocal leaders of the Braves. But what have your eyes told you this series who looked the most motivated from top to bottom, Astros or Braves?


You can say using your eyes is objective all you want. It's not. Is subjective when it comes to judging things like emotion and motivation.

Without being in the players heads and locker room, all you're doing is reading a situation with your own bias tilting your judgement one way or another.

Unless you have first hand knowledge, you're just making stuff up.


Didn't say that. I said if you'll go back and read that I have secondhand knowledge.

Why do you keep feeding it?


Because he's hungry, hence his popcorn.

Regardless of what you believe. There is always one or two guys in a clubhouse or locker room that drive the pulse of a team.


Yup, never would have made it this far without them.

Hopefully he had better sense that that. He seems smarter and classier than that dumbass Cole and Boras.

I don't blame him for going to the biggest pile of cash he can. He's earned it. Maybe he will break another team financially. As much as I want him to stay I don't want him handcuffing this team like that and I'm not quite as invested in him as I was George last year. George hurt bad. Carlos will hurt but not bad.

I'm honestly shocked at tonight. Completely did not expect this. But that's baseball. It hurts just as much as it brings joy.

Very true and also glad to see them fighting and sprinting out outs at 1st base to the very end

Me too. I expected more fight and some fire. No doubt they're trying, but I expected… something, anything. Kudos to the Braves, their pitchers have followed the gameplan very effectively throughout. Frustratingly so.

Just give me a win over Auburn this weekend and I can overcome this WS loss.

Good run but sad we couldn't capitalize. Been a fun run of Astros baseball and much better than the few runs I watched as a kid in the late 90s and early 2000s.
