Let's face it....Dusty will do his best to give this game & series away like he's done before with other teams.
It'll be up to the Astros players to sidestep him to make up for his gaffes if possible.

I mean don't get me wrong...he's a nice enough guy, very likable and knowledgeable...who was also a damn good player once upon a time..but managing a team really isn't his strong suit, or in his wheelhouse...and for whatever reason he just hasn't been able to get over that final hump for a WS championship.

It’s tragic that Dusty has taken five teams to the post, SF, CHI, CIN, WSH, and HOU, and has never won a single series, 0-11, including the current vs ATL. It is said that he overuses his pitchers and is not a fan of sabermetrics. Interesting.

Yeah...he might be a bit too "old school" for his, and ultimately for his team's own good.
But we'll see what happens on Halloween and then go from there.

FTR...I don't have a horse in this one...and I really don't GAF who ends up winning.
I actually dislike both these teams more or less equally.

Looking as though MLB might have to present the World Series Trophy on a field in Georgia. Oh the horror. Best as I can tell Georgia's Election Law is still in place.

Wow, Kyle Wright with a clutch "bulk" appearance last night. Now Davidson will start tonight. Neither of them have appeared in a game for Atlanta since June. Davidson will likely pitch no more than one or two innings though.

I've been hoping the Braves take it, NL East, Philly rival, and since they haven't won a world series since '95.

Now the fun begins.

The home team doesn't want the visiting team to celebrate in their house.
While the visiting team doesn't want it to reach a game 7 on the road.

All intensity aside, it's gonna be interesting to see which team blinks first..and for how long.

Morton injury could really hurt the Braves
