Altuve is the key. Last year the pitching was good enough to overcome his disappearing act. This year we need him to produce and he’s done nothing. We need some people on base in front of Yordan. Couple zip from Altuve and zip from Tucker and you get down 0-2. I don’t expect them to win this series but it’s still very possible. If they actually show up.

They have the worse 1 run games this year.

Well it's been a nice run. Maybe they can get their heads right and add another pitcher or two for next year.
The team goes as Altuve goes, generally. If he continues to choke it's likely a sweep.

Bases loaded, no out, fail to score at all, lose by one run.
That's it. Season over. This team is dead.

Now that I'm mostly over the frustration, I just wanted to say thanks to the Astros. These years have been awesome. I know we get p*ssed, but we're very fortunate to have had these years. Hopefully they can turn things around, but, if not, there's still plenty to be excited about next year.

Yeah, I’ve got too much going on in my personal life to be as angry or emotionally invested in the team as much this year as in years past. I also wanted to say thanks for the great memories. |

I’m even more happy this team won a championship last season. I honestly didn’t think it would happen again.

They didn't get blown out these two games, they gave them away. This team had their backs against the wall all season long. I really didn't give them a chance of winning the division, and somehow when their backs are against the wall, they surprise. Let's see how they respond.

We just need to go up to Arlington and take care of business. |

The problem is that it may have been and I have not thought that since 2015. We will know for sure after game 3. |

I have no idea what’s up with Tucker. He allows outside pitches to be called on him, and when he does get his pitch, it’s fouled back. |

For how hot they get at times, it can be like a car hitting a cement wall at 100 mph and crash that fast. |
