Looking back it was an amazing series! It was hard to enjoy as a rangers fans as I was biting my nails the whole time wanting to knock off Houston so badly hahaha
For sure, as a HUGE Astros fan, this series was unforgettable, it had great moments for both teams and nit so great moments, this series basically had all you could ever want in a series
@@blgchengus Me too! The area where i was sitting had some people (including myself) saying “WE WANT HOUSTON” but sadly everyone around was just keeping quiet. Probably trying not to be what Yankees did.
“They want Houston they got Houston” “They woke up the Houston Astros” “That’s the biggest home run of his career”when they went up 3-2 😂knowing dang well they couldn’t defend home. Luka was right everyone talks when they up. 😂 Reminded me of 2019
this series was everything I expected. it felt like the 2019 world series with all the wins coming for the road team. congrats to texas on their amazing season and Bruce Bochy making it to another fall classic🔥
Wow did not expect the road team to win every game, but what a series! Astros 1-5 at home in the postseason, and 5-0 on the road??! WTF?! Also all the talk about the division winners getting too many days off doesnt apply here since both teams had the same amount of rest, Astros just choked. But props to Texas on taking out the kings of the AL - finally.
As a lifelong Astros fan and Born Houstonian this all Texas series was great but it’ll haunt me that we pulled a 2019 World Series. GGs Rangers on winning the World Series keeping the trophy in Texas can’t wait for the rivalry to get bigger next season. 👍
To quote myself before the series started: “The rangers Astros ALCS series is going to be one of the best ALCS of all time. I have it going 7 games with the Astros winning. Both stadiums are going to be extremely electric, and I would not be surprised if the benches clear. I’m really looking forward to it as an Astros fan” I think I really nailed this prediction(except for who wins). While I am sad to have lost, I truely think the rangers deserve to move on to the World Series. They have fought hard and battled to get to the World Series. This rivalry between Texas and Houston may end up being like Yankees and Red Sox in 10 years, and I look forward to it.
Although every road team won their games, every game was basically a neutral stadium because every game was PACKED with rangers and Astros fans regardless of which stadium it was lol. Such a fun series.
It’s a Simple 4hr drive to and from Globe Life Field to Minute Maid Park. There is a literal interstate highway that only between Houston and Dallas (I-45)
Yes because the Texas Lone Star Series Sliver Boot Title Belongs too the Astros since 2002 when Astros won it first too claim it against the rangers too warm the name Texas Lone Star Series Sliver Boot Champions
Watching this series has showed me how much of a beast almost every guy in Houston’s lineup is. Absolutely insane dude, they have some crazy talent on that team
I remember watching a regular season slugfest between these teams earlier in the year. It's so obvious looking back that it was a prelude to this unreal ALCS.
Man not only way Evan Carter such a big part of the Series run, he was mission critical in game one. Those POs were so clutch and from someone so young. Amazing.
I feel like the Astros thrive as the villains on the road. But for whatever reason, they crumble in front of their fans. I don't know, it's weird. That's baseball for ya lol
The fact that the Astros lost all 4 of their home games in the 2019 World Series for the first time in mlb history, then it happened to them again 4 years later is so beautiful
This plays like any great epic. I wanted to throw up in the middle when the hated Astros were celebrating post game 5 but then the hero rangers come back and rightfully win the series. All is right in the world, well baseball world at least!
That was a good series glad that we ended on the right end of it and took out the snakes to finally bring the state of Texas as a whole. It's very first legitimate world series championship.
The 2023 Houston Astros are the 2nd team ever to lose a 7-game series in which the home team didn’t win a single game. The first? The 2019 Houston Astros. 😂😂😂
How fitting that Bruce Bochy took his team to the World Series after beating the League Champs from the year prior…guess what happened when he first took the Giants to the World Series in 2010 The Phillies, who were the NL Champs the year prior. Rangers won against an NL West team in 5 Giants (NL West team) beat the Rangers in 5 Coincidence??
Around 20:50 that’s not even close. Never had the plate. Umpires suck. Not a fan of either team but Jesus dude what are u doing? Umpires shouldn’t be affecting the game like that
This series was 1000 times more exciting than the WS unfortunately the D backs just didn’t put up a fight in the WS so it wasn’t as entertaining. But as a Rangers fan I’ll take it!!!!
The clear difference is one team had to scrap for literally everything they got and the other was just playing ball. One team is getting old and window closing one team window opening. These teams are heading in different directions and that’s exactly what we saw
We wanted Houston we got Houston and if you want to beat the best you have to take out the best they was the defending world champion so you had to take them out but as you can see we wanted it more hey now we can call ourselves champion long time Texas Rangers fan right here man
Not that it ended up mattering, but Simien being called out because the Abreu's glove scraped Simien's batting gloves is the stupidest thing ever. Make it make sense that Abreu's laces sticking out don't count, but Simien's batting gloves do. Either both should count, or neither should count.
If I had a nickel for everytime the Astros lost a best of 7 series while being the higher seed and winning all the road games but losing every home game, I'd have two nickels. Which of course isn't a lot, but it's still weird that it happened twice.
Sadly the Astros lost but what a series this was, so fun to watch, very wild, good job to the rangers on winning, they deserve to be where they are right now, can’t wait until next season, Let’s Go Astros!!! 🧡🤍💙🤘
Quite possibly one of the greatest ALCS of all time.
I agree
It was amazing. Even tho it was a scary matchup I wanted it so bad.
For a baseball fan living in Texas, yes. No matter the team.
Looking back it was an amazing series! It was hard to enjoy as a rangers fans as I was biting my nails the whole time wanting to knock off Houston so badly hahaha
This was the real World Series imo.
Yeah it felt like whoever won this series was gonna be champs no matter what
@@richiecrawford6716 At first it was Phillies vs Braves but then it was Rangers vs Astros. Both big division rivals.
@@richiecrawford6716I mean if the Phillies had gone on to win would it really feel that way.
It's just like 2004, isn't it when the LCS was better than the WS.
Clown they lost to Arizona stop with your hypotheticals.
As a Astros fan this was a all time classic series. The rangers wanted it more. Represent Texas well🤝
Tips cap, good game!
Much respect man. I have my opinions about them, but they’re a good team. Appreciate the good sportsmanship
Hopefully more great series like this to come.
This was a damn classic here!!!! Astros fan here.
For sure, as a HUGE Astros fan, this series was unforgettable, it had great moments for both teams and nit so great moments, this series basically had all you could ever want in a series
The fact that this video is over half an hour proves how great of a series this was
Honestly this is currently the best playoff series of the decade thus far, huge HRs, drama, great defense and a 7-game thriller.
As an Astros fan. I knew this series was going to be one for the books. Despite losing. I’m happy it ended up being a great series that went to 7.
As a Rangers fan who also liked the Astros when they were NL, I am looking forward to a fun sports rivalry in years to come.

Game 5 was one of the greatest games of all time.
I don't think in the history of the alcs had 2 Texas MLB teams had played each other. This was a historic series. It will go down in history
That grab by Carter in the 8th set all the wheels in motion. The magic had begun!
