Had some things to do and missed the game. Can someone give me the tldr? It would take 3 hours to go through this many pages.



Not sure if serious, but

Both starting pitchers were lights out. Each made 1 mistake that led to 1 run each through 5.

We got going in the 6th, chasing Monty off, but they had a great couple defensive plays to hold us to just 1 additional run.

JV then started getting hit in the 6th, they got 2 on base, then Garcia hit a bomb. Acted like an absolute fool running around the bases, crowd going crazy, typical Dallas delta bravo stuff.

We trade a couple scoreless innings, pen on pen, but the umps literally gifted the Rangers a few base runners in the bottom 8th trying to seal it. There was an altercation, Garcia roid raged, they tossed Abreu, Dusty has enough of the bullchit (he's too old to take that) and he gets fired up for like 10 minutes, gets tossed too. Everyone was focused on all the wrong guys in the action - Garcia, Abreu, Dusty, others. Altuve set off to the side by himself and got those crazy laser eyes like he gets, he starts mumbling to himself in Spanish while staring down their closer over on the other bench. Never breaks his stare. Loose translation "there's my little *****".


After a nice 8th inning finish by Presley, Altuve comes up in the 9th with 1 out. Literally everyone who has ever seen this man play knew exactly what was about to happen. A 3 run murder strike happens, yet another closer trying to hold back the tears. Altuve professionally and quietly trots around the bases, like he does.

Presssley put a couple guys on in the bottom of the 9th just to make it hurt a little worse for the South Oklahomans. Then he ripped them apart, like he does.


This is the greatest post game explanation ever written.

That was my guess as well but it was one Rylan Bannon

With David Hensley getting the nod at DH in game 3

One thing about the dust up...Garcia came awfully close to getting physical and making contact that umpire.

I thought to myself 'Oh man that's not good for Texas'.

My 14 mo. old baby girl got to come home from the hospital after a tough week fighting off a nasty case of RSV.

I'd like to think Altuve did it for my little Melissa. Thank you, 'tuve! And thank you to the 'stros for giving me a good way to be distracted from an otherwise overly stressful week.

Finish it this weekend! Go 'stros!

Jose Altuve is the greatest Houston Astro of all time.


Its not even debatable
Altuve
Biggio
Bagwell

-------------------everyone else ----

Dog crap

fungus

--------------micro plastics ---------

Rat Fiers


Altuve shouldn't be bunched with with Biggio and Bagwell. His stats and clutch hits put him above and beyond them. He's the greatest Astro ever. Period. End of story.
Exactly right. It's not even close.

To Jomboys credit he figured out a couple years ago that booing Altuve was a bad idea

top 5 all-time playoff win for the 'stros


I wanted to agree but then I thought

Winning 2017 WS
Winning 2032 WS
WS No no at the game
2017 game 5
Altuve sends the Astros to the WS in 2019

There is an argument it's outside the top 5.
Are you from the future?
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Yeah the Rangers didn't really think through what Dusty get tossed might mean

He put his hands on one ump, and he pushed another one. He lost his cool, cost his team the game, and probably the series.

Love playoff dusty. Took him 7 minutes to vacate the dugout after getting kicked. Baited the ump into coming back over to get yelled at again.

Plouffe and Jake (both of whom I like btw) were talking like a day or two ago about how people from Houston just don't like them and they wish they would give them a chance.

Then Tuve does his Tuve thing and Joez is on his twitter calling Altuve an m***** f'er and saying he hates him. It's like guys...c'mon. Houston people have good reason for not liking the Jomboy team.

I've had a beverage tonight for every Altuve career postseason home run. Won't feel great tomorrow but that's okay. Love this team. Love you guys. Let's finish this ****ing series. Dammit I love this team.
Tomorrow is an off day. Have to be ready on Sunday
Going to the firing range tomorrow morning with my FIL. I'm not going to wear any Astros gear.

Jake and Trevor do a good job, I like watching them. Jomboy's lip reading videos are awesome, and pretty fair generally. His best contribution to Talkin' Baseball is when he shuts up and let's Jake and Trevor talk.

I really like the Talkin' Baseball account. They have a good podcast discussing all things around the league. Joez is a moron and huge Yankee homer that doesn't try to hide it. Just avoid his stuff.

Talkin baseball is great. Also baseball today with Chris Rose and Plouffe

I like Jake and Plouffe a lot.

Joez and Jomboy (Jimmy) I only like watching when the Yankees lose or Astros win so I can hear them cry.

Altuve's assault on the playoff record book continues.

Games played 100. That's #7 all time
AB 414 #4, Posada is 3 at 416
PA 461. #6, justice is 5 at 471
Runs 85 #2, Jeter is 1 at 111 but in 734 PA. Williams is #3 at 545 PA
#1 in runs in a single season 2021
Hits 112 #4, ManRam is 3 at 117
#3 in hits in a single season 2019
Total bases 207 #4, two tied at #2 at 223
Singles 67 #7, #5 and 6 are Posada and Man Ram at 68 and 69
Doubles 20 #5, #4 and #3 are Posada and Papi at 22 and 23
HR 25 #2. Mr Clomid at #1 with 29
RBI 51 #9. Breggy is #8 at 52
K not in the top 10. And that's with all the games and PA. That's pretty remarkable.

He will go down as the single best overall playoff player of all time. Jeter has the counting stats because he basically has 40% more PAs than the next guy, but Altuve is going to be the GOAT.


So let's update this.

He had 5 AB so he's passed up Posada and is #3 and is 5 PA away from Justice. He's getting 5 more because he's playing at least 2 more games.

Add another run scored and another hit. Inching closer to ManRam in hits.

4 more total bases. Up to 211.

HR #26. Inching closer again to ManRam AKA Mr Clomid.

Breggy has 53 RBI but got passed and Jose now has 54.

He is the greatest postseason player ever. EVER.
