No Manfred ball, I'm walking JRod right there. Texting with my brother right now and we were discussing if you should actually walk him anyway.... Awful to put the winning run at the plate but that's the guy that can hurt you the most.

Squeeze play? Not the worst idea, need another run

Gotta get the bunt past the pitcher though

According to Baseball Almanac, the squeeze play was invented in 1894 by George Case and Dutch Carter during a college game at Yale University.

This is what I'm hoping for.

Astros win the division. TB, Blue Jays, Rangers in the WC in that order.

With that, Astros would play Twins/Blue Jays in the ALDS, Orioles would play Rays/Rangers.

We've handled the Rangers this season, Seattle has beaten us down. That lines up for Astros-Rangers in the ALCS as long as both teams handle their business. It would be awesome to have the ALCS never leave the state of Texas.

While I agree that would be cool, I just don't see Arlington bearing the Os and Rays.

side question...in the golden era

(and excluding the COVID season)

is the 2017 world series the only postseason "road" series the Astros have won?

2005 NLCS, won 4-2 with game 6 in STL

ETA- nevermind, 2005 wasn't part of the golden era

Yes.

We've only played one other series as the "road team". 2018 ALCS.

Wouldn't the 1 seed play the winner of 4 v 5 in the ALDS and the 2 play the winner of 3 v 6?

There's apparently been a mandate grin on high to go with hit over error on close calls.
