Man, credit to JV. He went up against a tough Guardians lineup that's still trying to capture the 1 seed, popped him early, but he went 6 strong and gave us the win. I'm glad, if this is truly his last game with us, that he went out on a high note. As for playoffs? I'd be terrified sending him out to start a game, but I wouldn't mind him in the bullpen. Just to have him there, I feel, would be a great leadership presence. Thank you Justin Verlander for everything you did for this franchise.
I forget which game it was, maybe the 18 inning game against the M's? Where he was in the clubhouse and came back out in the dugout to fire up our boys. That's the kinda leadership we'll want in the Post. Whether he's a ace starter anymore or not, I would like his veteran mindset on never giving up. You know as well as I do that if it weren't for Hinch and Dusty at times, JV would've kept himself in the game knowing his stuff is good enough even when he's at 130 pitches haha. That never quit attitude. Gotta respect it. But I think the never give up, never retire mentality might need to be reevaluated after this season for sure. Unless he ends up in Arizona with Stromy and HE can somehow bring his arm back to life.
@C.J.33 2017 World Series Game 2 in LA. That's the game you're thinking of. Tbh, i do wonder how much of it this year was just rushing back too soon from injury. Like if we weren't in the dire position we were in all year, if they'd have babied him along a lot more. Who knows.
Everybody is talking about the number one and two seeds in the American League and national league but trust me nobody wants to face the Astros in the post season. They’re that team that’s always in the mix and for the last few years whether you love or hate them is that team you have to respect.
No Breg, Altuve, or Yordan last night and they still secured a series win against one of the best teams in the AL with the lowest ERA. Hats to JV. He actually looked pretty decent last night after he got locked in. Looked like the JV we knew.
We're also doing ourselves a big favor by beating Cleveland. It may not "matter" for us as far as our own seeding, but I'd 100000% rather face Cleveland in the ALDS than NY. I don't care that we've beat them 4 times in the past. I don't care about pride. That's still a scary ass team that absolutely owned us this year. I want 7 games against them, not 5. Cleveland losing thes3 games means they stay the 2 seed and we face them in the ALDS if we can advance, and rn it's looking like we get KC, which is definitely what I'd prefer. They're a bad road team, swept them in 4 a month ago, and Tigers have some stout ass pitching starting with Tarik Skubal who is basically an automatic L for his opponents, not to mention they're absolutely on fire and managed by, you know.....AJ Hinch....
That was 4 months ago brother. Astros got a lot better. But I agree, Yankees are darn good this year. But also, it's not how you start, it's how you finish the season.
@@jt.00011That's right Earl- Remember Earl Campbell and his mama on Fingers Furniture commercials. I always busted up laughing at seeing Earl doing his spiel, then his mama's response was" That's right Earl". Those were good times in the Houston metro.
I don't think R.Pressly has had a clean inning since the Obama administration. He consistently puts the first man on and usually allows the game to be tied or lost

I'm much more grateful for Kate Upton. Just sayin'.
Did you notice how old looking JV was tonight? It's time for him to pack it in.
@markkar4663 I do like when she jumps up and down
Oh uhhh uhhhh.....cuz she's cheering for the Astros! Yes. That's why. Cheering for the Astros 👀

We just turn it on in October. Verlander hopefully gonna be good in the post season.
Thank you for all your editing work and bringing us the games. I look forward to every one!
Thanks again Chili Man!!!
Chili and Dubin with the save tonight!
Dubin pitched a great 9th.
I read “dubon” at first, and having seen the score but not the game I was like…wat. And this amused me enough to tell you.
Yea great placement and crazy movement on the last one
It Doooo beeen like that sometimes
Showcasing him maybe
@@adamant1015 Why not? Dubon has played every position except pitcher and catcher. 🤓
The 9th inning got my nerves, but finally medicine follows 🍿🤠Go Astros.
Thanks again Chili!
Hard to believe there is only one more regular season game in this season.
Finally. I was ready for the post season the moment the Astros won the West.
That's life...
Praise Chili 🙏🌶️

That Dubin guy had some nasty pitches
Good win and good for JV. Honestly, I'm more concerned about Pressly on the mound in a close game than I am JV as a starter in the post-season.
I like this Dubin pitcher
Not sure how Verlander fits in now! Maybe a relief? Does he get the job as starter in the postseason?
Come from behind victory.
@ 3:13 the Tigers ?

Are you thinking SWEEP? 🤨
I'm happy Astros won this series. I don't care much about next game. I'm ready for post season.
Absolutely. The way the playoff bracket looks right now is exactly how I want it as well. I'm low-key rooting for AJ.

GG STROS. JV!
Pena is an automatic out
Let's go stros..go texans !!!!!!

“Since the Obama administration” why is that so funny 😂
Even the outs he gets are usually hard hits.
Let's go Houston Astros 🤘
Big Jon doesn't hit a lot but when he does, they are big hits and he and plays Gold glove first base.
