Congrats to the Nats and fans - great series!!
Residing in Houston (Cypress, TX) for ~40 years I am a dedicated Astros fan. Two points to last nights game:
1) AJ Hinch taking Greinke with a pitch count of 80, giving up one run, two walks and replacing him with Harris. Although Harris pitched will in the post season, he was used repeatedly.
2) The Astros had their chances: 1/8 RISP, 10 LOB, RISP with 2 out = 5, the entire lineup left 21 LOB.
The only negative IMHO, Soto...He will receive his share of fastballs in the back as to how he plays the game and shows up the opposing pitchers/team. Before anyone jumps on my statement, I do not condone Bregman carrying his bat down to 1B - he apologized and handled it well with the media and fans.
