THSfanatic Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Saw a video of Twins fans on the concourse shouting “We Want Houston”. History shows that is not a good approach But truthfully. Nothing this year is gonna surprise me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blesseddaily Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I think, just like the year has gone, this post season will be just as crazy. No fears though, Maldy and Dusty will pull us through!!! Stro's in 5...and we will thank him later!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) The best words to describe the Astros this season are: DANGEROUS & EXPERIENCED!! They will play to the very last out and never give up.....because they believe in themselves. They have been here too many times not to believe. And their fans believe also. Sometimes that in itself is enough. They got here because they have a talented team that knows how to win, regardless of anything else......end of story.

DannyZuco Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 I believe the Twins split at Houston, but the Astros being the best road team sweeps them in Minnesota...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I don't care what happened to the Astros during the season with their poor record at home.....Minute Maid is and will be a daunting place for any opponent to play. IMHO the Astros have a good group of starters and enough pop thruout the lineup to win games as long as they keep it close. Their bullpen seems to be dependable also. Overall, I'd say they should win at least one of the two games to start this series at Minute Maid......but maybe both. They whacked the D-backs, and maybe have already found a new gear for these playoffs. Now they have rested for almost a week......probably a good thing for an experienced team like the Astros.
