This whole series felt like the stabbing scene in Saving Private Ryan. Very few moments of life to delay the slow inevitable end. All in all, a good season but rough way to finish it out that will sting for a bit.

Damn. I would have let Greinke have the last hack. The last pitcher to ever bat. The last pitcher to ever get a hit.
Wasn't he the last pitcher to get a hit?
Hell of a run. We ran out of gas across the board. Well do it again next year.
Tip your cap the Atlanta. They earned jt.

Unfortunately this **** isn't ever going away.
My best friend and I took a road trip through the southeast all the way to Myrtle Beach in 2008. Saw Atlanta's AAA, AA, and two of their A teams. Saw Freddie Freeman hit two HR's in Rome Georgia and remember thinking he would be a star.
I am happy for him. He deserves it.

Man this ducking stings.
I tend to think Dusty is gone.Mathguy64 said:
Now two big questions. Do they really make a quality run at Carlos and does Dusty come back?
I don't think either.
regarding Correa...I think there's a chance. In part because of Bregman's struggles. The front office might switch horses so to speak.
and believe that Correa projects better long term than AB (i.e. he's not going to return to his 2018/2019 form)
Hurts tonight, but this is infinitely better than not going to the big show.
At least I wasn't the sox fan I met today.

Natural antibodies are best antibodies!
But this shows you how hard it is to win a ****ing WS. So grateful for 2017
It's been great yall. Catch you in the Spring. Can't wait to get all the postseason bandwagon trash filtered out and start anew.

Man, adults are going to say things about a sports team I like. The horror
Well that sucked.
Hell of a season even if it ends this way.
2021 American League Champions.
Thank you Carlos Correa for all you did for the city of Houston for 7 seasons. Thank you to Jose Altuve for so many amazing moments this year (especially the Yankees BOMBS).
It was inconsistent, frustrating at times, but overall a fun ride.

Good season overall. Enjoyed talking so much Astros with all of y'all. Let's go win out with Aggie football to make ourselves feel better. Hopefully we'll be right back here next late October.
Happy for AJ Minter.

I just don't care.
I made a comment to a Ranger fan on the Braves thread just because it's fun.
Whelp, time for the off-season thread. Should be an eventful one.
plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
88 win team. Someone remind me of this next year as the playoffs approach and the Astros aren't pushing 100.
Walking out of Minute Maid just thinking I'm glad it wasn't LA
Would not be surprised to see Bregman have some kind of surgery in the off-season. Too bad there isn't a fix his approach at the plate surgery
Hell of a fun but frustrating season. Hopefully we pay for Correa, but my gut says he's gone.
Hopefully Espada is running things next season. Dusty made a lot of good calls this post season but a lot of frustrating ones too.
Congrats to the Braves.

Their GM definitely won the trade deadline.
Approximately 350 days of lurking Premium & the OB before I'll see you guys again
never in a million years would I have thought this team would go down by getting shut out, and by being so f-ing putrid at the plate.
uuuuuuggh

Yup. They went all in and it worked. Most of the time it doesn't.
I'd say Click did plenty for us. The bullpen was the best part of this run.
Moral victory here was beating both colored Sox in the postseason. Their fans are more annoying than Georgia hillbillies
Getting shut out is ridiculous

No offense but I've been drinking and not sure I understand what you typed…
ETA: got it on edit.
Good thing most people other than ESPN and talk radio morons don't care about the "narrative". Get past that and you'll have a much better outlook. We have the pieces, even if giving up Correa, and the will to pay up when needed.
We are the 3rd or 4th highest payroll. We have good leadership that built this team over the past 10 years from the ground up. No reason to think this was a "last shot" of sorts.
Logistically we are a good destination - central and no State income tax. 4th largest city and 5th largest metro area in the US. People love baseball here. They will keep pumping available money into the team.
We will be back.

Good season. It has mostly been a fun one.
However, no reason we shouldn't win it all next season when we get another $70MM to spend.

one thing the front office analytics guys can work on in the offseason...
how to make stacking lefties work.
there is no way...no way....Tucker can bat 6th or 7th next season (with or w/o Correa)
needs to hit 3rd or 4th

My freezing cold off season predictions:
There's a work stoppage that threatens the season.
Dusty "retires" along with Strom
Correa signs with Philly.
Verlander goes back to the Tigers.
We sign Thor.
Bergman has surgery.
We sign Story (ugh).

I agree. Not saying I wish we did what they did, just that they won the trade deadline this year.
Click did a great job. Now it's time to see what he can do with a full offseason for the starting pitching.
The Braves played slightly above their potential in Game 6, and for the series.
We played well, well below ours.
I'm appreciative that we lost to Atlanta rather than a sh*ty city like LA, Boston, NY or Chicago.
