World Series Astro's VS Dodgers

[Melonfeud]

Always been partial to the Cleveland Indians, myself

Yet, since the Diamondbacks with Curt Schilling and the " Big Unit" Randy Johnson dude won it ,,,( twelve bars in my hood,, at least ,,,have been bulldozed since) I've not watched a single baseball game since that series
Glad the Astros won!
ENJOY THIS VICTORY.

The 3 "royalty" teams of baseball... The Red Sox, The Yankees and the Dodgers were all vanquished by this Houston club... Let that soak in for a bit.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Unless the Astros shock the world, Dodgers in five........

Not a shock.

I don't think you gave Houston pitching enough credit this season.

The starting staff, especially with Verlander was exceptional.

This club is going to be tough for several years. Long overdue

They did good and they stepped up for sure. Verlander put them over the top.

Houston. Your club just won the WS. How does it feel?

That's the scary part for the rest of the teams in the AL...

Who knows about injuries and complacency when it comes to the Astro's 2018 season, but this team will not only still be loaded they'll improve at DH and in their relief corps. They still have a load of talent at the minor league level.

As good as the 2017 team was the 2018 team could be better.

What they need to do is get some of their young stars signed to long-term deals and Keuchel is a free agent after 2018 so that needs to be addressed.

One time!

One time!



One time!


You see... no matter how many tines I say it.... it’s just ONCE!



Take comfort in knowing ..... you’ll never sniff 3 WS wins ... let alone 27!


Before astros get 3... we will get 30!

That’s all you got?

Raining on someone else's parade? That's just bad form.

They did good and they stepped up for sure. Verlander put them over the top.

Houston was able to Band-Aid over their one weak spot, relief pitching by using starters.

If I was a Dodger's fan I'd be running Darvish out on a rail today.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

I'm going to celebrate now. The Astros won the World Series. Whoopee. [celebration done]

Lol

Success... you have to be able to take a ribbing with success.
I understand, you guys are not used to it.

As a Yankee fan I get the same thing. No biggIe ;-)

Go with it!

Great article on how the Astros won without having a bullpen...

I give Hinch a ton of credit for the way he managed the Astros staff all through out the playoffs. They won 3 series despite their closer having an era over 11.00.

Yu Darvish said he'd like to come back to the Dodgers. Good...let them be the suckers to give him big money

It was a little embarrassing that they couldn’t close out World Series with their “closer”.

Time to change that avatar again.

Haha nah. That's a punk move. As we all know sports is a ride or die thing. I've loved the Dodgers since I was a kid and was lucky enough to be there for Game 6. It hurts and I know at points we beat ourselves (I.E. Game 2 and 5), but in the end the Astros wanted it more. Well played fellas.

It goes to show you there's more than one way to win a game.

Giles are very good for most of the season, but lost it during the playoffs. Hinch had to go to plan "B".

The Astros had an overabundance of decent starters so why not use them out of the bullpen?

Obviously between now and the start of the 2018 season Houston will have to sort out its bullpen woes... But there's time for that.

Dodgers had a terrific team.

Their starters just couldn't last long enough to avoid over using the bullpen... And some of their hitters became stone cold.

Not knocking at all.

Just sucks when guy gets benched!

I don't know what his salary is but they better give him a huge paycut and move him to relief. Otherwise, the moving van is around the corner.
