    It is not that they lost. It is HOW they lost. Bats in a deep freeze....not doing ****. Making mental mistakes.

    I appreciate the optimism but it really doesn't matter who is the starting pitcher . Do you all think the Astros are magically going to wake up and score more than 1 run a game? This run today doesn't count, he was walked in. Do you think Springer , Bregman, Mccann, is magically going to go 3 for 4? If not, the Astros have lost. I emphasizing the hitting. Verlander and Keuchel cannot pitch 17 extra innings of no run ball and hit pitch count of 200.

    Sabathia pitched a great game, the guy is 10-0 in starts after the Yankees lose a game and has always been great in the postseason. Morton was pitching well but ran into some horrible luck in the 3rd inning, two softly hit balls went for hits and then the Frazier mini swing that somehow made it out of the park to put them up 3-0. Maybin horrible misplaying what should have been a routine fly ball.....it just wasn't our night.

    Good news is that we're 5-2 in the postseason and we've beaten Chris Sale twice, touched up Kimbrel, Tanaka, Severino, got timely hits off Chapman in game 2. Those are some of the best pitchers in the business right there. Choke city these Astros are not, try again.

    "Subpar sports city" and "choking teams" can easily coincide. It's not all fan-blame because teams can affect fan behavior. It's not even always the team's fault (i.e. Renfro non-TD or McMillan non-call for touching the ball).

    Rockets have two championships, so saying "ALWAYS" is inaccurate as well.

    Yes they will. Did you not see they last series or the entire year? Astros will put up runs against Gray.

    If Tomstro is calling your negativity out than you know it’s gone too far.

    Can you imagine living your life like an unrelenting p***y like OP and @vonbock??? Hard to think they get the courage to even get outta bed in the morning.

    If we win tonight can we ban them for the rest of the playoffs???
