    What? The schedule is announced before the Postseason starts.

    If Houston didn't have home field advantage there would have been weekend games in Htown.

    He mentioned Hank.....his dad didn't want him to be sign with the Braves...dad tried to sue over his signing. They brought Dusty to a Braves vs. Dodgers game in LA, Aaron personally told Dusty's mother that, if he signed "I 'll look after him". It was Dusty who was in the on deck circle when Hank hit 715. Dusty also gave the first high 5 ...but stayed out of the picture so as not to steal Hank's moment.Interesting article. Talked about Dusty leading the Angels 5-0 in the 8th inning of Game 6 of the 2002 WS and losing 6-5. Then lost Game 7.. 4-1.

    Bregman’s issues are two fold. One, he either doesn’t trust his lower half or it is still bothering him, significantly. Two, he has lost the swagger and confidence he used to take with him to the plate against any pitcher. That went away starting last season, after the sign stealing punishment was announced.

    He needs to be benched for Diaz, or at a minimum, dropped to seventh in the order. I prefer the benching because Diaz at least is trying to hit in his at bats and the Astros can’t afford three automatic outs in an NL park.

    Find another team. Maybe you can pick your new team after you find out who wins the World Series each year.

    It will be very tough to win tomorrow. Our hitters are super tight and atlanta’s guys are loosey goosey. They are at home.

    Houston is the better team and we should be winning rather easily. Thats why this is so sad. Just watching your team choke really hard over and over again is very tough. The braves aren’t that good. They are a very weak team to be in the WS. The championship was there for the taking and the astros pissed it away because the hitters can’t clear mental hurdles.

    He sucked in the Postseason in '17 so I'm not sure why that would bother him.

    He owns the ALDS, he's been less than good in all the other series (walk machine in 3 though) throughout his career, for whatever that's worth.

    This has been the World Series schedule for as long as I can remember. The World Series always starts on a Tuesday so if you have home field advantage then you have home games Tuesday and Wednesday. Then it moves to the other city for the weekend. Then back to the original city.

    I mean… if there’s one team and one city to blow a 3-1 lead, it would be the Atlanta Braves. But no question about it, we in deep doo doo.

    It’s baseball, I argue Boston played better than Houston yet still lost to be ALCS partly due to 2-3 innings of hitting. This one hurts but not as bad because they’ve shown they were a great team and didn’t need cheating to get to a 3 one in 5 years. Also no McCullers, verlander or really an ace isn’t ideal

    ….Still though would have been sweet to shut the negative stuff up

    The team that wins the World Series is the best team. There's no excuses.

    The Braves have been arguably the best team in baseball since August 1st. They have a good team

    The best team doesn’t always win. The Astros are making it very easy for them.

    Place was dead until the home runs. Didn't really understand the pitching choices tonight. I was against moving Bregman down but I think you have to now.

    Ronald Acuna Jr is injured, missing in the lineup and Eddie Rosario just stepping up

    Give him some time, he's been looking for new teams ever since Kobe retired and Brady left the Patriots.
