It's nice to be in with a team on the rise though, right? And you never know.

Just saying.

 

[Texas Ace]

I don't think he's a good manager to begin with.

You think what he did in Houston was basically what Switzer did with the Cowboys?

Yes exactly.

I will say this. Altuve is a tiny little beast. Every time he came to the plate I was nervous.

 

[Cotton]

But, fuck him.

Fuck Dusty Baker.

Fuck Astros fans.

We are headed to the Fall Classic.

Best postseason baseball player of all time.

I was nervous through the gambit of Altuve, Bergman, and Alvarez.

Yes, you did. Now ask us of we think we are going to win it all.

 

[Cotton]

Yes, you did. Now ask us of we think we are going to win it all.

I'm still scared.

I'm going to be insufferable. I apologize in advance.

Get in line, bro! Lol

 

[armadillooutlaw]

I'm still scared.

I like our chances against either team, but I think a series against Philly probably goes to 6 or 7 games. Give me Arizona.

The look on Altuve's face: priceless. Little fucker.

Their scouting and front office is so good that they've set themselves up to be really good for years to come..... Which is crazy to think about because they're already on a run of 7 straight ALCS appearances.

But between Altuve and Alvarez, they've got 2 monsters to build around in the lineup with Bregman being a consistently solid contributor.

And assuming that Jeremy Peña rebounds from his sophomore slump, they've got 3 really good young players coming up in him, Mauricio Dubon, and Chas McCormick.

So they've got the roster to continue to compete at a high level for the next few years.

I'm sure they'll address the starting pitching in the offseason and if they do, those pesky bastards will be in the mix for the pennant again next season.

Just not this year.

Sorry, I apologized in advance.

Alvarez was unreal. He was almost like Bonds minus the size 14 head.

Alvarez was unreal. He was almost like Bonds minus the size 14 head.

I think he's the best pure hitter in baseball right now.

I think Smoltz absolutely nailed it when he said he reminded him of Manny Ramirez because that's exactly who he reminds me of too, only he hits for more power than Manny.

But Manny is one of my favorite players ever and what was so impressive about him and now with Alvarez is that it's so hard to fool them.

They just work the shit out of the pitch count and they make you pay even when you don't make a mistake.

As long as he stays healthy, he's going to have an incredible career.

If he isn't, I want to know who is.
