So I guess the 161 K were meant for this most recent moment then too?

Or is that not how these things work?

Has Adolis Garcia reached Cardinal-level douchyness?

Wait, is there a narrative by non-Astros fans that paints this guy as something less than a hero?

There you go, Phillies.  Burn Kimbrel down 5-1  in the 8th so that he's not fresh tomorrow.

Would love to see that burn them.  And, of course, keep the streak of Brewers opponents going to the World Series alive!

[LouisEly]

Both of these series have been fantastic.  Road team has won every game in the ALCS so far and two of the NCLS games.

If you're wondering what impact a hitting coach can actually have... In Texas' case he can help you win a postseason series.

None of the remaining playoff teams have the mechanical quirks like the Brewers had. Pretty mechanically sound for the most part.

Just take pleasure in knowing that the Cardinals sold him to the Rangers.  Not even traded - sold.

Extra funny with the road team winning every game in the ALCS is that Houston only ended up with home field dis-advantage by winning the division via tiebreaker on the last day of the regular season.

This is beautiful to watch, what a way for the cheaters to go out.

Extra, extra funny is that Houston had a losing record at home this season.

Congrats to the rangers.

Should be a good series no matter who they face.

Gamers. They show up in the big games in the big moments and don't constantly hit into double plays.

[HarryDoyle]

If they say the series doesn't start until the road team wins, did the series really even begin? Does it apply in this case?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Glad to see the Astros bounced. Half my family is from Philly so I am backing them, but I find everyone left to be pretty benign.

Great NLCS/ALCS so far wow. Happy to see the Stros out.

I can't stand players who throw a temper tantrum every time a pitch comes within a foot of their body. Shut your mouth and take your base. There's way too many players in baseball that do it nowadays.

I’m pulling for the Dbacks. However, I still had a stress flashback when they scored off a broken bat hit, like Carroll’s double in Game 2 in MKE 

[Underachiever]

I think I’m the only one here, but surprised they have left Pfaadt in to pitch after the Stott 2b

[AKCheesehead]

Rooting AZ too. Mostly just out of dislike of Philly.

Fun game so far. Two heavyweights.

[Brewcrew82]

Corbin Carroll is so good. Hopefully Chourio can follow in his footsteps. 

[rondoman]

History is on the line!

[torts]

And are 7-2 in the world series.  Damn I like those odds
