October 24, 20232 yr 35 minutes ago, chw42 said: Yeah I was listening to the same broadcast. It seemed so obvious to just walk Garcia, especially after 2-0. Dusty should have taken some advice from his buddy TLR. Dusty's infatuation with Maldonado is also just weird. Guy can't hit, can't frame, isn't good at anything anymore. Maybe he calls a better game than Diaz, but when you're down 6, you need offense. Not a guy who hits .160. The Astros lose a couple of replaceable bullpen guys this offseason, and some guys like Abreu get older. But, they should be back next year…they have Verlander the whole year, they should get McCullers back although he’s probably a part season guy at best, France and Brown now have near full season experience, and if you add in a manager who is more willing to take advantage of what the front office gives him, this team could definitely win 100 next year.
October 24, 20232 yr Well, two innings away from Hot Stove for me. Will be the eighth also ran "Champion". 1997 Florida - Second Place - 9 Games Back 2002 Anaheim - Second Place - 4 Games Back 2003 Florida - Second Place - 10 Games Back 2004 Boston - Second Place - 3 Games Back 2011 Saint Louis - Second Place - 6 Games Back 2014 San Francisco - Second Place - 6 Games Back 2019 Washington - Second Place - 4 Games Back 2023 Second Place Teams Texas (Garbage new MLB Tie Breaker Rule - Return Game 163 and loser goes golfing) Philadelphia 14 Games Back Arizona 16 Games Back Better Luck and Health next season Jose, you played great this postseason and made Sox and Houston fans proud.

Soriano was a lousy signing too.
October 24, 20232 yr 6 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: What series did Arozarena go nuts in? It was at least two different series over multiple years, right?
October 24, 20232 yr 9 minutes ago, chw42 said: Yeah this might the best series ever from a hitter in the ALCS. Go Cuban Connection!
October 24, 20232 yr 6 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: What series did Arozarena go nuts in? Every series that postseason. But in that ALCS he had a 1.152 OPS with 4 HR. Garcia will have a similar OPS with 5 HR.

They let Jeff Bagwell and the owner play GM last year despite the owner not being a baseball expert and Bagwell totally not deserving the GM job except for having once played for the team so the owner their he could do it, and wound up with a weaker roster and a couple contracts that look bad. This is totally not relevant for any other franchise. But anyway; they have an actual and deserving GM this year with a roster that already looks loaded. There is always work to do, but you have to think they’re in a good spot. They have 7 starters possibly! I’m not sure the white Sox have 2.

He either didnt want to come here or we didnt even try. A guy who won 3 championships in 6 years and was available. Just another feather in the s%*# pile for this dog s%*# organization that needs to be launched into the sun.
October 24, 20232 yr Remember back in the day the playoffs were such a big deal fans would never leave early in Game 7 even in a rout? They left early tonight!
October 24, 20232 yr Just now, South Side Hit Men said: Nice to see Jose fight to the end. He is really locked in. Quite a postseason for Jose.

October 24, 20232 yr The Cheating Cheaters of Cheaterton are officially eliminated. Fantastic. And if Arizona wins tomorrow, MLB cannot be very happy ?
