Houston is up 8 to 1. This isn’t aging well.
You sure about that, bro?

I mean I'm not sad for Brant, I remember reading on here how he had one foot out of the door and whatnot. Sounded like he couldn't wait to move on. Pretty neutral now regarding him, respect all he's done and didn't get to do with us, but I'm not sad about him experiencing another loser in the WS.Happy for Yan, sad for Brant to be the final out.
Great series, though.
I guess I don’t have ill feelings toward him. He had injuries in Cleveland. But, he had the reputation of being a hard worker that tried to return as soon as humanly possible from them. From what I’ve gathered he gave the Tribe everything he had when he was here. I can’t ask much more.I mean I'm not sad for Brant, I remember reading on here how he had one foot out of the door and whatnot. Sounded like he couldn't wait to move on.

Credit where credit is due. Hats off to the Nats. They earned it.You sure about that, bro?
My main hope from the Nats winning is to show the various "nay-sayers" that the Tribe is still contending for the title.
Let's compare:
Nats/ Tribe - same record in 2019
Nats/ Tribe - strength of club is starting pitching
Nats/ Tribe - a couple of good bullpen pieces
Nats/ Tribe - a couple great players in the lineup & a handful of role players doing a job
The Tribe is not in need of spending $40M in free agency to get a couple of pieces and the Tribe is not in need of massive tear down & rebuild.
They are in a position to contend in 2020 & moving forward.. Breaking spring training with a legit chance to win is all I hope for each year..
And yet still they didn't blow a lead after the 7th inning. Really impressive by the bullpenKeying in on "couple" in particular, because that's exactly the right word. The Nats largely used a 3 man bullpen for most of the postseason (Corbin too) when he was available. That's the luxury of a great starting rotation. I do not think the rest of their bullpen ever pitched in a game where the Nats were not up by a large amount of runs or down by any fewer than 3 runs.
