Can definitely see it. But luckily it isn't Gio himself causing it. The kid knows he pitched well.

Yeah, I mean he broke Kemp's bat. He did great.

He was yelling at himself while coming off the field after the 7th, with that bunt.

That's just competing and wanting to win. Knowing he missed an opportunity. 

I'm sure if you asked him - he'd be fully aware that this was a big positive.

That was an absolute perfect breaking ball by Soria on 3-2 there to Altuve. Ain't nobody hitting that. Straight at the front shoulder to freeze the legs and quick action down to the plate. Jose Altuve, Mike Trout or Mickey Mantle... it's over Johnny!

Does Yoan have a hit against a closer this year?  

He has weird variation in his stats. 

 

.290 OPS in the 9th inning.

.544 OPS in "late and close" situations.

 

But...

 

.814 OPS in high leverage ABs.

.910 OPS in tie games.

 

Of course, all of these are a small sample size. Still interesting.

You mean to tell me he'd want to pitch on the team that just won the world series? Crazy.

After the season he had last year, I'm sure he would have loved the chance to be a closer instead of like 5th or 6th on Astros depth chart. With relievers, it usually comes down to money offered more than anything.

This is the first time in franchise history that the Astros have swept a season series of 7 or more games.

Isn't this the first time that the Sox have been swept by an AL team in a seasonal series?

Payback for the Sox  sweeping them in the WS.
