Recall my 1983 reference.....
Call overturned.
I know he booted Altuve's hit last inning, but really, Schwarber has not been that bad defensively lately.

Kyle Tucker flies out to left fielder Kyle Schwarber.
Philadelphia Phillies
Houston Astros
I'm sending all of the mojo I've got towards Houston.
I think a lot of what we've seen the last three games can be traced directly to the fact that the Phillies had to play an extra round (to say nothing of a lot more high-stress late-season games), as well as the fact that the Astros swept both the ALDS and ALCS. They are deeper to begin with but the Phillies' best pitchers ultimately showed more cracks, while the Astros' pitchers ultimately proved the oldest post-season adage. There were exceptions of course but Verlander still ultimately had a better series than Nola; as did Valdez vs. Wheeler.
Checking in to be with y’all.

It all comes down to Nick Castellanos.

It sucks to lose, but honestly the last month has been so much fun, so many great moments, inexplicable events. I hope we dont forget about how great it was all throughout.
It was a great run. Wait till next year !!!!
Im happy for Dusty Baker

https://twitter.com/Baer_Bill/status/1589092659158827009Ehhh... I dunno. Hes not all that great.
Great season. It’s a shame our hitting kind of fell apart these last three games (and Houston is just that good pitching wise).Obviously a step forward this year. Next step is really building the pitching depth and trying to figure out how to improve the defense which will be hard.
Regardless I am proud of this team. Astros just had a little more pitching and defense, but I think we did pretty well in those two areas. We were just shut down since game 3. Thanks all for great commentary
It was a crazy season and a heckuva run. Well, after June 3 anyway.
Hey we're not drafting last!
