LCS

If they spend the same I think the Phils can be about the same next year.  I don't think they can be much better.  They had good health this season though, so things can always go downhill there.

Wow Garcia just shut up Astros fans.

Cubs are so lucky the Astros left their division.

 

edit:  Astros fans leaving en masse after Garcia's bomb LOL

Get ready for Game 7.

Houston with more home field struggles. 

[sweetpeteman]

I really underestimated how much the Astros suck at home.

Houston have had these home woes in the past. 2019 World Series, all 7 games won by the away team and Houston had home field advantage.

I'm glad the Cardinals gave Garcia and Arozorena away

Yes, another LCS Game 7. This is what postseason Baseball is all about. 
Texas vs Arizona is my pick. Something new after a stupidly consistent Houston era. Say what you will about the Astros cheating era but 5 World Series in 6 years is just nuts.

Lmao Astros. Keep it going Rangers. 
 

insane that tomorrow will be the first game 7 in Phillies franchise history. 132 year history. I know they sucked for most of their history but that’s crazy

I can't believe they pulled Javier there.  Sure, you don't want the game to get completely out of hand in the first inning, but now they need 8 2/3 innings from the pen.  I would think their chances would have been better hoping Javier could get things together and get them into at least the 4th or 5th.

Rangers creating runs with aggressive base running. Javier out in the 1st inning.

Max simply doesn’t have it tonight. Bochy needs to make the call and soon.

Neither starter goes even 3 IP.

[Rcal10]

Didn’t fact check this, but I heard it reported that Bochy never lost a game 7 and Dusty never won one. 

[JHBulls]

It’s wild how much Houston suck at home. 

[UMFan83]

Diamondbacks are 1 game from the World Series and wouldn’t have even been in the playoffs had Dansby caught a ball deflected off his pitcher”s arm that went right to him.

Just had a Google search, Bochy is 2-0 and Dusty 0-3 in career Game 7’s.

Sadly we l know one of Dusty’s game 7 loses all too well.

4 out of 6. Lost in the LCS the other two years (18 and 20).

You’re right. I made up Houston making the 2017, 2018 and 2019 World Series in my head. 😳 

[soccer10k]

Garcia going 4-5 with 2 dongs and 5 RBI in Game 7 is

[We Got The Whole 9]

I really thought the tide was going to turn with Altuve's G5 blast. Super impressive that Texas beat their asses like this.

[JHBulls]

Congratulations, Texas!

Buh-bye, Houston! 

[Irrelevant Dude]

Please let it be the Phillies.  That would be a fun series.

[soccer10k]

Anyone who argues for momentum in baseball existing just needs to be shown these two series.

Houston was done after Game 2. Texas was done after Game 5. Arizona was done after Game 2. Arizona was done again after Game 5 (Philly is a monster at home!).
