A three-run homer by Gurriel in the first! That's the way to start the game!

Astros' announcers comment: The Yankees have positioned their defense pretty well against Gurriel, but they can't play someone in the Crawford Boxes.
I wouldn't want every game to be like this, and you couldn't do it anyway unless you carried even more pitchers. But bullpen games in the playoffs are kind of fun. All the strategy, all the matchups. It always amuses me that the people who hate the DH because "it takes the strategy out of the game" tend to be the same people who hate openers, shifts, and every other more contemporary strategy that comes along.
They don't love strategy. They hate change.
Pressly comes in with the bases loaded in the third inning.
And he gets the out!
And he may have injured himself getting the out. We'll see.
Did I just hear John Smoltz refer to runs as "points"? I hate that.
I love it when Not The Yankees are winning. Come on, guys!
Dang! That was one hell of a dp.
I saw it was 4-2 Astros in the 9th so I checked out the game. I don’t know why I bother.
Well, not staying up for the end now! Just what this game needed, more pitchers.
You didn’t leave ... did you!!!?!?
Couldn't have written a better ending.
Right!?!
Couldn’t have happened to a better guy ... on both ends of the pitch.
I want Osuna to blow the save and Chapman to take the walk off L because I despise both of those domestic abusers.
You bet I did. It was already midnight in a long game. Hard to know if it ends quickly or not.
That was a pretty damned solid series. I'm looking forward to this series -- I THINK I'm rooting for the Nats, but I'm not entirely sure yet.
Spreadsheet updated. We have one winner if Washington pulls off another upset. If Houston wins, there are three potential winners depending on series length.
Brian is the true winner
A clean sheet!
Who?
I'll be cautiously rooting for the Nats, but I am concerned about the possible Bryce Harper takes should they win.
That was my same thought for the Twins. Mauer retired and now they win 101.
The takes are already out there
I'm somewhat rooting for the Nationals, but I have nothing against Houston and will be fine with it if they win, too. Mainly, I think this will be a really good, fun, exciting series to watch.
