Jose Altuve is the ONLY player in MLB history to have 3 go-ahead postseason home runs in the 9th inning or later.

Each time, the Astros won that game.

That Fields trade for Alvarez was so good on multiple levels

What a ****ing quote

Gonna sit back and enjoy an awesome stress-free Saturday. Wheeler vs. Gallen tonight should be a good one. Pulling for the D-Backs to go up 3-2.

And no Aggie football to **** up the weekend

Which ***** ass player hid behind anonymity? I guess he's afraid mean old Maldy might target him next.
From The Athletic:
"Another Rangers player, granted anonymity in exchange for his candor, essentially accused Maldonado of masterminding the whole thing.

"One of the best relievers in baseball just suddenly lost command?" the player asked, referring to Abreu. "Maldonado's smart. They got exactly what they wanted, Adolis riled up. Crazy coincidence, isn't it?"

Maldonado is certainly smart. He also can be an irritant. And evidently, he is inside the Rangers' heads."

That was great.

"As you can see, the more you f*** around, the more you are going to find out"

Much like Altuve, Clanton has so many it is hard to call any one the best

Yes, absolutely rent free

Even if true, they took the bait. End of the day, if Garcia doesn't lose his ****, it's a non story and Texas honestly probably wins the game.

Looks like their idiot players are no less delusional than their fanbase. Must be something in the water.

Starting with the Creed song was also great. That was easily the best one of these videos I've seen.

Adolis needs to get the "Robin Ventura at The Ballpark in Arlington" treatment at MMP for the rest of his career regardless and of whatever team he's on.

Ranger player does not want to go on the record saying he knows that Garcia is a complete moron.

Why?

We should give him a standing ovation

Lost in the Altuve madness is the fact that Ryan Pressly is quietly becoming one of the best postseason closers EVER.

Dude has ice water in his veins and continues to hold it down in the biggest of spots year and year out.

I wouldn't want anyone else on that mound in those spots. When we talk about this golden age we cannot forget about Ryan Pressly.

Kessingers catch is largely forgotten in the madness. I had an oh s*** moment when I saw Diaz for Pena. Great play in bottom of the 9th!

---

Yep, Kessinger was clutch!

---

I don't want to turn this into another round of the Dusty debate, but we were perplexed by all the ABs and innings he gave guys like Singleton and Kessinger during the season. Would they have been ready to help win this game if they had just sat on the bench all year?

This analysis brought to you by a former little leaguer who patiently waited on the bench to see if he would get one inning in left field and maybe an at bat if things went just right.

Let's face it the Rangers got some hot heads on that team, starting with Semien a few months ago being a total ass hole to Maldy when he crossed the plate at Minute Maid park and now Adolis being a punk… all that kind of crap does is fires up your opponent, your own teammates know your being a total jerk and it has the opposite effect on the opposing team, personally I hope both of them do it in Houston tmrw night, it just fires up our team…

Adolis and Semien, please pull your punk moves at Minute Maid tmrw, we can take all the help you will give us because we know Framber can't do this by himself …

"It didn't fire us up, honestly, it pissed us off"

I love JV.

Yep. That's the best part of all the hot Ranger takes about the Astos being unlikable. When's the last time we actually had someone act a fool like them?

That would be absolutely amazing. A 3 minute delay for MMP to just stand and clap for him. Maldy should call a mound visit when he digs in for his first at bat to allow fans an additional 30 seconds to keep ovating him! And you know he will be thinking Maldy is up there calling for the high cheese, but we know he will just be discussing menu options. Just glance over your shoulder a couple times to look at Adolis while discussing the perfect temperature for a steak (128 degrees, there is no debate)

He would be such a head case after that.

So they basically had a free run advantage in a 1 run game.

Must be nice.

Let's be honest, how many times have you watched this clip since the end of the game? I missed it live, so I probably went overboard on how many times I've watched it since I got home last night.

I feel like there now needs to be a special Altuve edition of Estrella Jalisco.

So I was thinking after last night maybe MLB should just have a rule that once a player homers in a game if he is hit by a pitch at any point forward that game the pitcher is ejected. Because that's what the 6 man clown show basically decided. Glad things unfolded the way they did but MLB loves to step on their own dick.

"and it's a grand slam for altuve....the astros lead 6-4"

Altuve wrecked them so hard they forgot how to do math

"That MF-er is NOT real!" Absolutely perfect.

I couldn't get over how LOUD it was on tv when Jose Octuve hit that bomb man. Tons of astros fans

Dang that sounded like a home game for the Stros with the crowd.
