Pretty neat stat line going for Luis Garcia. Quite a rebound performance from him.

Yeah, damn.

Big 2nd run there though in the bottom of the 6th for Houston. Good game.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Verdugo gets a single, runners on the corners with 1 out.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Houston gets out of it with a strike em out throw em out double play.

Astros headed to the World Series. Way to bounce back, completely shut down the Boston offense. Love to see it. Very happy for Dusty Baker.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Is nice to see Dusty get there again. Atl do your job tomorrow.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Watching Dusty on the stage tonight talk about going back to the World Series is what baseball is all about. That was awesome. He deserves it.

Tyler Matzek has been very clutch.

 

He comes in up 4-2 but with runners on 2nd and 3rd and no outs.

Pujols K

Souza K

Betts K.

[Mike B]

Matzek has faced 15 hitters with runners in scoring position in the post season.

 

They are. 0 for 15.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Matzek was a big fan of some Os fans in the '09 draft. Kind of a crazy journey if you just look at his basbeall reference page. Pitched a little in the majors in '14 and '15 then was in minor league ball and independant ball as recently as 2019. Last two years in Atl he's been very good.

Then K'd the leadoff batter in the 8th, and quickly got Trea Turner and Will Smith to ground out. Quick 6 up 6 down. Nasty!

[Mike in STL]

Hell yeah Braves.

 

Doing this without Acuna too. Crazy.

[Mike in STL]

Man, I wish Markakis was still there.

[Grindelwald]

All right, guess I'll be rooting for the Braves in the WS, even though I hate their stupid chop.

It is stories like Matzek’s that makes baseball such a great game.  As some one said earlier you can not make this up.

 

The high drama in last nights game was terrific.

[Mike B]

This series is a good matchup.  Let’s go Braves.

[Mackus]

Go Braves!

 

Are there any unaffiliated fans pulling for the Astros?  Mets fans don't count as independent.

Go Stros.   Usually root for the AL, thought trashcan gate was overblown, and a 2nd title to cap this 5 year run (and doing it without Cole, Verlander, and Springer) would be cool.
