Dunning is a very good pitcher. Expect 4 solid innings from him.
Unless the 12-day rust won't shake off

Astros fans could end up thinking about missed opportunities in the first inning for a long, long time. Then again it’s only the bottom of the third. lol.

The only guy that I can remember it seeming so completely hopeless to have to pitch to as Alvarez is maybe peak steroid Barry Bonds.

José Abreu is the Alaska crab fisherman of mlb. Dude only works three weeks a year and makes all the money.

How to lie with statistics: point out that Kimbrel has never blown a save in the playoffs.

It’s worth noting that the 2 teams that made the most significant deadline acquisitions(Verlander and Scherzer) are in the ALCS.

Don't love the pitch selections on those two hits.
Be nice if the defense could come up with them too, though.

Every manager who has gotten pilloried for rushing his starter out of the game in the playoffs enjoyed that last half inning.

Drill their best hitter with 97 in the shoulder in a playoff series.
Classy.

Interesting broadcast booth vs. sideline reporter split on whether that was intentional.
Looked pretty darn intentional to me. I certainly don't know how Rosenthal arrived at the conclusion that it was *obviously* non-intentional.

That long half inning couldn't;t have helped the closer.
Can't let another runner on or you risk Bregamn/Alvarez being in position to decide it.

I could see the argument, but "obviously" is a joke of a thing to say.

Oh well. I know he got rusty during that long half inning but there is no excuse for walking that chump ahead of the HR.
And now they don't have Garcia if it gets that far.

Honestly it’s a miracle Texas lasted this long in the postseason without a blown save. They had one of the lowest save conversion rates for a playoff team in like 40 years
