    Using up Alvarado early is making this ending interesting

    Wow Ozuna almost pulled off the dumbest base running blunder I’ve seen in awhile. And that’s saying something given how the Astros run the bases.

    Grissom looks locked in. This may be interesting

    Strahm absolutely painted every strike. Grissom didn't stand a chance

    When Bryce just said “home field advantage is real” I imagined Cristian Javier sitting in a dark room smoking a cigar and smiling

    Interesting tidbit. If they score in the 8th off that wild pitch to make it 3-2 then Ozuna most likely tags up in the 9th to tie it

    Who would have home field advantage if it is astros vs. Phillies? Same record so would it just be h2h as their tiebreaker or seedings come to play?

    My thought on the wild pitch is to risk it and go home. The chance of getting a hit with 2 outs is even lower.

    Astros will have homefield (dis)advantage for the rest of the postseason. That’s insane.
