What JR heard instead: "Spend money on relievers, hire LaRussa"

Dusty Baker is retiring

Pretty cool to see Leclerc and Garcia celebrate after it seemed like they blew it in game 5.

Astros fans get to see an ALCS every year, seems like they really don't care.

Even in a blowout, Altuve still owns Leclerc.

Do you mean Montero?

Every series that postseason. But in that ALCS he had a 1.152 OPS with 4 HR. Garcia will have a similar OPS with 5 HR.

Yeah this might the best series ever from a hitter in the ALCS.

It's gonna be real nice to not see the Astros in a World Series. Sucks for Jose, but meh.

For the Astros...that's definitely what I meant.

Montgomery is gonna get a lot of money in free agency.

Yeah I was listening to the same broadcast. It seemed so obvious to just walk Garcia, especially after 2-0. Dusty should have taken some advice from his buddy TLR. Dusty's infatuation with Maldonado is also just weird. Guy can't hit, can't frame, isn't good at anything anymore. Maybe he calls a better game than Diaz, but when you're down 6, you need offense. Not a guy who hits .160.

Yeah, and with the Nationals too. It took managing the most talented team in baseball for him to finally win one.

Yes the Astros have been bailing him out for the past few years.

This guy went from getting DFA'd to putting up similar numbers to Luis Robert.

WTF was Dusty doing leaving France out there to die? Why even pitch to Garcia with an open base? Just baffling decisions.

Garcia is on fire

If this goes to game 7, I'd say there's a 45% chance the Diamondbacks can win tomorrow.

Are any of these guys (esp some of the older bigger name guys) even gonna play in that league?

Scherzer vs. Javier. Heaney pitching the 9th pretty much guarantees that's the matchup.

Astros are 1-4 in the playoffs at home, 5-0 on the road.

Adolis Garcia would be the ALCS MVP if the Rangers didn't blow game 5.

Don't like using Leclerc here instead of Chapman.

It's weird because his combine velocity numbers aren't bad. It could be that his mechanics just don't allow him to throw the ball real far.

I still think the Phillies win this series, but man, the Astros are gonna wipe the floor with them if their bullpen is this bad.
