Take the recliner with you.

Bochy is obviously a fantastic manager, but i've hated pretty much every pitching decision he's made in the last two games.  Dunning should've started over Heaney last night, and he should've stayed in with the bases loaded, or anybody but Bradford should've been brought in.  Bradford gives up lots of home runs.  I called it before it happened.  He got lucky with Alvarez, and then hung another to Abreu.  

That double play was also a killer in the 5th.  That was a big inning waiting to happen.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Best of 3, LETS GO RANGERS!

[rupert3]

Melee bunch kicked out not sure who all over hit batter

Pitcher batter catcher and Dusty

Altuve 3 run homer 5-4

[BEARCPA]

What an incredibly stupid game lol

[rupert3]

Altuve hero 5-4  Maybe we can win 1 at home

 

[snakehead26]

Astros hold on 5-4 incredible game. Now will the home field disadvantage continue?

[baddog]

Astros just won 3-in-a-row. I see no negatives in the future. Momentum carries for lots of games. Just had to get that 1st win. Nothing more exciting than a nail-biter. Go Astros!

[wo-s#1]

Good teams/players win when they have too…Astros just proved my rangers are not there yet 

[rupert3]

Rangers played well enough to win  Until the melee fired us up.  Kinda sad but I'll take it.

Surely we can win one at home.

Was Garcia's fault and I think it was about the time the Aggie went to football game lol.

[BEARCPA]

Dusty knew what he was doing when he wouldn’t go to the clubhouse after getting tossed, Leclerc had to sit for a while and got cold

so did Eovaldi.  Didn't matter last night.  and Verlander and Valdez both beat the rangers last time, but they're a combined 0-2 in the series.  My point being, you have no point.  It's also debatable that Scherzer was healthy at that point.  He made one more abbreviated start after that and then went on the DL.  He had some lingering issues already. The real issue is that Scherzer hasn't seen game action in over a month.  Everything else means nothing, although I can't blame astros fans who are grasping for anything right now.  For what it's worth, Scherzer went 4 innings and 68 pitches in a simulated game last week.  He threw well enough that the rangers are going to start him, and he's had another week to get healthy.  Hopefully he's dealing, and hopefully Javier is missing the strike zone as much as he did against Minnesota last week.  If he gives up 5 walks in 5 innings against the rangers he'll be punished for it, although just like Scherzer's last outing against the stros, it doesn't really mean much until we see how he's pitching tomorrow night.

16-23 in 1 run games this season.

2-1 in 1 run games in the playoffs.

I hate this bullpen!!!

[Chester86]

Man I left in the 9th to go to the Chester game - hate I missed all the fireworks.  1 more ‘Stros!!!!!

[AggiesAreWe]

I want to thank my fellow Astro fans for taking over the mojo last night. Stayed in my recliner until 5:30, then left for Silsbee football game. (was a great one).

I kept up with the game on my phone down on the sidelines and saw Tuve' hit the game winning dinger.

I had a great night!!

The Astros are a seasoned team with players who know how to win. Altuve, Alvarez, Bregman, Tucker, and who I think is the Astros not so secret weapon Maricio Dubon, I call him the magic man because he makes things happen. The Rangers cannot match these players in a dire situation just like yesterday. Cooler heads will prevail. Garcia was just waiting to start trouble. He didn’t need to poke the bear; The Astros will win one game is all they need.
