Altuve is the man. He threw the team on his back last night and his team responded. There’s no substitute for that clutch gene in sports. Astros are that kind of clutch. Backs against the wall and they find a way. I think game 4 is almost must win for Rangers. If Astros get 2-2 I think they win this series with two of the last three in Houston.

I don’t get FS1, but I am looking forward to seeing the still photos of this one on the 6:00 news.

You'll really want to see the stills from the 8th inning fight

What would Bob Gibson or Don Drysdale have done to Adolis Garcia after pimping his homer last night?

This has been a heck of a series. Taking it to seven games against the defending champs. Road team has won every game which makes me extremely confident Texas takes the series tomorrow. Even if we don't it's been one awesome run. Go Rangers!

World Series few years ago - Washington vs these same Cheating Asstros
Wow. Just 4 years ago. That’s wild.

In baseball, the home team only wins approx 54% of the time. So the visiting team wins 46% of the time. Assuming no other factors (SP, injuries, matchups, etc), the odds that the visiting team wins both of the first 2 game is only 21%. For the trend to continue through game 3, there is only a 9.7% chance, 4.5% for game 4, 2.1% for game 5 and 0.95% to get through game 6 (where we sit now). Finally, to finish the series with 7 road victories, is a 0.44% chance.
