Eaton grounds to 3B...Bregman on the grass because of the shift...and it's past him...Turner to 2B
Rendon...0-2...doubles off the top of the LF wall, Turner scores, Eaton scores...hanging changeup on 0-2
Soto...0-2...1-2...strikes out swinging
Kendrick flies out F9
Cabrera...0-2...1-2...strikes out swinging

Last night they got three runs after walking the leadoff hitter and then a shiftfuck single on what should have been a double play.  Tonight, it's two runs.  So far.  So far the shift killing the Astros.

How do you characterize Altuve's blunder - stupid, selfish? Given the game situation and the skewed risk-reward ratio, there is no justification for the steal attempt. It's not just that he forfeited the go ahead run for his team, but how many more stress pitches could the Astros have put on Strasburg? Hard to gauge how much damage he caused to his team's chance to win the game.

teams have been known to run on strasbooger.  it didn't work, but it was worth the early shot (if it had been the 9th inning, then quite questionable).  Suzuki doesn't seem like the best catcher either.

What if he makes it. Are you still asking the question? I'm sure in his mind it was worth the risk. Rarely does a game rest on one play and you can't assume that everything that happens following said play happens in the same sequence. That being said he still fucked up for being throw out.

Kurt Fucking Suzuki is hitting home runs while our studs foul off 80 mph breaking balls down the middle with 2 on.

Granted...

But I do think he would have battled differently - than either RC or KT (he has proven at times to be clutch when needed)
For me, though -- you need to keep Verlander comfortable out there - last inning and all.  Just think subbing your catcher in the bottom of the 6th could come back to haunt us --- and Suzuki hit his pitch (who knows who called it or if RC would have)?

Soto intentionally walked
Kendrick grounds to 3B...Bregman boots it...Robles scores, Turner to 3B, and Soto to 2B on the E5
Cabrera...1-2...smacks a single to CF, Turner scores, Soto scores, Kendrick to 2B
Wild pitch, Kendrick to 3B, Cabrera to 2B
Zimmerman...3-2...dribbles one up the 3B line, Bregman fields it, throws it into RF...Kendrick scores, Cabrera scores, Zimmerman to 2B on the single and TE5

That's all for Pressly, James in

Suzuki grounds out 6-3

But the Astros shit all over themselves giving up five unearned runs...Nationals lead 8-2

Ball bounced away, runners moved up, both scored on Bregman’s throw to first.

It bounced away because Pressly fucking threw it in the dirt in front of the plate.  How is that Maldonado's fault?

Our hitters have had a good approach with both MS/SS but have not come through in the clutch.

The Astro offensive philosophy is:

1. Wait for mistakes
2. Force mistakes
3. Crush mistakes

It's served them well for the last several years, but there's no Plan B when the opposition... stops making mistakes. I suspect, relative to other teams, they may not be quite as good against truly elite pitching or just pitchers who are able to execute well in a given moment. There was an article published right before the postseason that rated the playoff teams on their performance against 'playoff caliber' pitching (I think they mainly used fastball velocity as an indicator of that). The author had the Astros near the bottom. I forget who published it, off the top of my head... will have to Google later.

Kids these days, might want to dance while they can (a lot to look forward to, college debt, deep despair of Astros baseball tradition in the big moment, and getting arrested for asking for a Kit Kat).

Always some shit (Yuli's gesture, Taubman's outburst)

Last fifteen years has brought us unparalleled joy, but also

1. WS sweep in 1st WS ever
2. ALDS loss to the Royals when leading late 2015/16?
3. ALCS loss to the Red Sox 2018
4. WS favorites --- one the highest of all-time

to go with our already stellar heart attack Astros teams of the 70s/80s/90's

Its in our DNA; If we do win this thing, it will be in the most unbelievable way possible.

Fuck off with this shit.

To add a little levity, the best moment from the broadcast team tonight just occurred. The camera panned over drunken Astros revelers who are apparently too cocked to realize the outcome and happened to scan by exactly the type of woman I hope AB encounters over the next 36 hours... picture April Bigcannons from East Bound and Down. She gives a little shimmy for the camera and a hot mic pics up a “woah” from Smoltz (I think, not positive). I rewound and confirmed the “woah” though. Anyways, back to our present situation.

The Astros better use the plane ride to D.C. to pull their heads out of their ass.  If they are firing on all cylinders, they are capable of winning four out of five against any team, even one playing as well as the Nationals right now.  The offense especially needs to sack up and figure out what ails it.  You can’t ask your pitching staff to be perfect every night in the playoffs to have a chance to win.

Gerrit Cole and Justin Verlander are the first teammates to each win 20 games during the regular season but lose Games 1 and 2 of a World Series since Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers in 1965 against the Twins.

The Dodgers would recover to win that series in 7 games.

We were talking about this as a problem all year.  They were perfectly mediocre with RISP and 2 outs.  To have further regressed against postseason caliber pitching should not be too much of a surprise.
