That pretty much sums up the series.

Ohā¦ here we go!! Let the vaunting begin!!! What time is it??
Had been nails until game 4.
Those 2 solo shots were the first runs he allowed in the postseason.
No problem with him as the choice there.
He just didnāt perform.

Brantley ā looks at curve that drops in for strike 0-1, fouls off inside breaking ball 0-2, ground up the middle, Swanson gets in behind 2nd and nearly throws him out. Single.
two outs.
That and I will say this as wellā¦Braves fucking battle with two strikesā¦Garcia made 2-3 great pitches to Soler and in my mind earned the hanging sliderā¦and of course didnāt miss it. We on the other hand have watched two-strike fastballs go down the middle with the bat on our shoulder. Sighā¦fuck it, can we please make a late run and at least put a couple runs on the board.

Correa - not good

I remember when the consensus was that it was imperative to re-sign Correa no matter the cost.
Heās helping us say goodbye.

Correa ā ball one. Looks at FB low in zone 1-1, change up low 2-1, swings and misses a outside FB 2-2, breaking ball low and in 3-2, swings and misses at outside FB that gets past catcher. Thrown out 2-3.
End 6 Atl ā 6 Hou ā 0.
If the Astros donāt get another base runner, that could well have been Correaās last at bat ever as an Astro. Sad.

I donāt understand hand wringing about Garcia or Javier or any other pitcher. Even God himself couldnāt pitch a team to a win if they never score.

I was never part of that consensus.
Had Correa busyed his ass down the line, he might have been safe.

Sure looked like he did.
Thatās it for Fried.
He was very good.
That is the last nice thing Iām gonna say about the Braves for a while.
I thought he got a late start.
Couldnāt tell how hard he was running.
Nope. Not jogging; just striding down the line.
He, like many other Astrosā hitters, has had a shitty World Series, but I still want him back.
The entire offense picked a lousy time for a team-wide slump.

Stanek pitching
Rosario ā loud fowl just outside pole 0-1, FB up and out 1-1, fouls off FB 1-2, FB up and out 2-2, fouls off breaking ball still 2-2, swings and misses a high change up. K.
