The Gnats were the better team. They did all the little things the Astros can't do. Hinch was out managed. A team that constantly swings for the fences looks good on paper, but when it comes down to it, they'll lose to a team that knows situational hitting and pitching.
No, the Astros were the better team, but the Nats played better!!!!

On paper it would seem that way, but on the field the Stros weren't as good as their stats. All season they struggled hitting with RISP. It didn't show up on paper because of the many HRs and games where they scored in double figures.

The Gnats are a better team because they play as a team. The Stros have better stars but they don't play as a team. They struggle with RISP because they only know to swing for the fences.

They don't know how to shorten their swing to hit a SF or hit to the right side of the infield to move runners over. It's doing things like this that makes a team. The Stros are a collection of stars that have no clue how to play as a team.

:thumbup: Yes they were. What's amazing is they were 2nd to last place in May. Like Eli's Gnats, these Nats also had a wonderful Cinderella season.

Well deserved for their 1st World Championship. They showed the Dodgers & Braves having a great record all season doesn't win you a championship like a Wildcard does. :lmao:

They got hot at the right time.
Probably not the better team of the bunch.

It happens.
