Friendly reminder:

The Cleveland Indians were 3rd in the Majors in runs scored this season, averaging over 5 per game.

They got 6 runs in 3 playoff games against Houston.

Because Houston is fucking ruthless.

Carlos makes that play that Machado just booted.  Hell, I make that play and 3putt makes the turn at 2nd base for the double play.

Defense matters.

i forgot to post this, but was i the only one pissed at marwin swinging at ball 4 and hitting a foul (on the ball that was actually a double)?

No.  When it first left the bat I was sure it would be a foul ball and was thinking, why the hell did he swing at ball four?  Then it dropped in and I was happy.  Real happy.

Cleveland had 13 hits for the series

Fewest Hits in Division Series, 1995-2018

Team Year H Opponent
Reds 2010 11 Phillies
Rangers 1998 13 Yankees
Dodgers 1996 14 Braves
Rangers 1999 14 Yankees
Rockies 2018 14 Brewers

holy shit - just saw bregman on mlbn interview on the field after the game...

"i have a question - does tiger woods tee off at 8am when he's trying to win the masters?  does floyd mayweather fight the first fight of the night?  or is it the main event?  so the stros need to be playing primetime television, and we're looking forward to that in the alcs."

yeah, it's definitely been a topic for these guys internally.

Outstanding.

Apparently we play well when we're feeling disrespected.  So I look forward to the media slobbering over whichever team is a lock to beat us in the ALCS.

We've now won 4 playoff series in a row after winning only 3 in the first 55 years of the franchise

I thought the same thing... and then quickly realized where the LF’er was tracking and immediately thought “holy shit!” and had flashbacks to that ball El Oso Blanco took out in Oakland last year.

Hate the long break when on fire like this but this team seems locked in during pressure games

robert flores just said mchugh touched 95 on the gun today.

i'm coming around to the conclusion that, as a staff, we're not much fun to bat against.

We've now won 4 playoff series in a row after winning only 3 in the first 55 years of the franchise

And when we win our 4th game in the World Series this year the Astros will have 22 playoff wins in the past two seasons, matching the number of playoffs wins in the franchise’s first 55 years.

Ok, I’m glad I’m not the only one surprised by that.

I saw the pitcher when he hit 95 and immediately texted a buddy something to the effect of “I didn’t realize he could get it to mid 90s”

 

McHugh did admit in postgame he was overthrowing, but damn, if that’s the result, he needs to do that every game.

I was nervous with him coming in trying to keep the deficit at 1 run after the month he had in September.

Also I feel like we held back a bit in the regular season, and we still won 100+ games. They were saving their peak ability  for the playoffs and we’re seeing that now. That added adrenaline of playoff baseball

I can't believe some of our pathetic efforts against the Braves back in the day were not worse.

I think the radar gun was a little "hot" today.  Keuchel was hitting 91 and 92 with regularity.

Also, we’ll rightfully talk about the offensive explosion late, but I find it somewhat fitting that Keuchel and McHugh, the foundation of the 2015 staff that was the first spark of this crazy run we’re enjoying now, went a combined 7 strong, only 2 runs.

I saw that on the gamecast, and was wondering, "since when does McHugh throw 95?" Glad to see it wasn't just me.

Guy was filthy today.

so "throw harder" doesn't just work for cfm?

Playoffs add 2 mph to everyone’s fastball and 1’ of break on every breaking ball

Moose out front should have told us.

2.61 ERA with a .205 BAA in September

Yep, it was August where he sucked it up.  Kind of like most of the team.

Funny how the Astros always get a bunch of "injuries" in August and the same guys usually come back pretty much fine (except Correa this year).  Maybe there is something to the idea that they are using the month to give guys days off.

What are those? Facts?

 

Sorry, August was the rough patch I was thinking of

Yep. 6.75 era and .289 BAA in August

yeah, because nobody saw the injuries happen to Springer, Altuve, or McCullers getting pulled early in a game.

 

They just write a script and roll with it.  Let's hope it has a happy ending!!!

I dont know how he hit that ball.  I think he looked shocked when he hit it.  He paused for a moment to watch it

I'm trying to decide who I'd rather face in the ALCS.  Looking at their team stats, I honestly think it doesn't matter.  After Severino, none of the Yankee starters scare me at all.  And the Red Sox have a potent 1-2 in Sale and Price, except that Price is a nuclear meltdown in playoff games.

It don't make a shit?

MLB Network has been loving on the Astros all season as the team to beat.  They love this team

i think the yankees are a slightly tougher matchup for us, because their bullpen is better, and i can see guys like happ giving us trouble.  also because sale may not be completely right or able to go deep into games.  obviously i would like us to have homefield, which only happens against the yankees, so i think it's pretty even in that regard.

tldr - it don't make a shit.

I dont think it matters.  I prefer the Yankees only bc home field, bigger national interest, and they strike out a lot and we have a lot of strikeout pitchers
