Joc Pederson looked a lot like Lou Pinella out there.

I mean, there’s no doubting Houston’s talent, especially offensively, when you consider the last 6 post seasons, but they do have a habit of shrinking in the biggest limelights at the most important times (you know, when they’re not cheating of course).

You add them to a lineup that already contains three guys who will likely finish top 10 in the MVP voting and you’ve got a pretty potent group. Not to mention Swanson, Duvall and D’Arnaud who won the Silver Slugger as a catcher last year.

Their young power arms in the pen all took another step and Morton and Fried were freaking dealing all postseason. There isn’t a team they could have run into that would have stopped them. So I guess I’m just not getting the “worst team in the postseason” talk. They thoroughly dominated every series.

But hey, I got to see the Chiefs win a Super Bowl and the Braves win a WS in a matter of 3 years, so I can officially retire as a sports fan at this point and be pretty damn content. :-)

Rosario has a career 105 wRC+. He has a postseason 198 wRC+ this year. Not the first time a mediocrity has gotten hot in October to win a WS for a team, nor will it be the last. There’s no other real way to characterize that though.

Basically Rosario went from being a Scott Hatteberg level hitter (104 wRC+ career) to being a Babe Ruth level hitter (197 wRC+ career).

3 outs away for the Braves

Matzek is just utterly ridiculous.

worst team in the playoffs about to win the World Series, I'd hate to see the best holy ALL MADDEN!!

Can you hear that Houston? It’s ****ing coming.

God I’m glad they get to watch the Braves celebrate their victory in Houston.

Here come the Astro's!

And that all world offense being shut out at home in that bandbox.

Glorious.

Wasn't that impressed with the entire post season this year, tbh.
