Will the Astros blame their fans again?

It definitely wouldn’t be their play on the field…..or lack of it.

I think yesterday some Astros players complained in the press about boos during game 1.

Some players, one who has a gigantic contract (Christian Walker) and hasn’t performed and another who was awful all year (Bennett Sousa) complained about how the fans hurt their feelings and made them feel bad by booing. Because of it, and because it was deserved, I think there was more booing today.

The Astros never played in October this year.

Gausman looks really greasy

This is the shirt I got to remember this postseason journey. I thought it was funny. I’ll get a better Brewers one, I promise. https://www.ramshirts.com/crushcitytees/p/to15vlzbm334v3zxjtsvhf75pitcfw

Cubs get two runners on to start the 3rd, down 2-0. Swanson works the count to 3-1 before swinging at two pitches clearly out of the zone. They're pressing.

Just takes one big hit, though. Padres going to have a short leash on Pivetta.

Painfully Crappy At-bat

Cubs are pressing. Padres are feeding off the crowd energy.

Welp. 

[nate82]

Well the Padres it is then.  The Cubs didn't even put up a fight.  

[sobomp3]

Honestly, Padres kind of terrify me.

I don't understand what the MLB is trying to accomplish with streaming games over normal broadcasts besides pissing off many  faithful baseball fans. 

Tonight instead of showing the Cubs/Padres game Peacock is showing the celebration in the Yankees' locker room.  I don't  get NBC Sports Network.  😡

[Pugger]

Looks like Peacock is finally gonna show the Cubs/Padres game.  Missed 5 innings.

Nah. Bring 'em on.

Every team in these playoffs were going to be good and all have their strengths.    I’m just happy we got the bye.   That was the most important thing

from here on out they are going to play really good teams.    I’m not too worked up over the padres.   It was going to be a 50/50 series no matter who we play 

[sobomp3]

Alright I’m glad to hear people being reasonable. I just have a hard time watching them be able to throw up 3 automatic shutdown arms in the 5-9th. Sometimes we struggle to score *until* the 5-9th. But whatever, yeah we ARE the best team in baseball. Bring em on.

We weren't going to encounter a pushover squad anywhere in the NL bracket. But one of these years, we just have to be the ones who knock. We're not trapped in here with the field, the field is trapped in here with us. Insert whatever movie or tv quote badass energy you want.

103 wins. If we aren't going to shove this season, when is it going to be? I'm ready.

That's what happens when you don't run it out sometimes.

[StearnsFTW]

Nice hustle Xander. 

 

It's not as if you’re over paid by 300%.

 

What a clown.
