I know they do it to eliminate travel, but I'm not a fan of the 2-3-2 format in 7 game series. I don't think the team with home field advantage should ever be in a situation where they've played more games on the road than at home.

I agree. Seems especially silly with the Rangers and Astros considering their proximity

The schedule is set before they know which teams are playing in each round so it doesn't matter how close or far apart teams are.

Call me a dinosaur, but I kind of think Garcia deserved it after his post-homer display.

He definitely took a long time walking halfway down the first base line before slamming the bat and starting to run, but given the situation, it's hard to really fault him. I also can't believe the Astros really wanted to hit him in the 8th given the game situation.

Rangers got their first 2 runners on base in the 9th for the top of their order but couldn't score. Great game to send the Astros home up 2-2. Still no wins for the home team in the series.

What a job by Pressly, 1st & 2nd no outs in the 8th AND 9th and gets out of it both times with no runs.

The only reason they do it this way is to cut down on the travel.

I know that's the reason since it would add 2 travel days to a 7 game series, but it doesn't make it right. Of course, there's plenty of other complaints about the current playoff format in this thread and another one on this board so just thought I'd add one more.

Wow. Astros just took the lead in the top of the 9th on a 3 run homer by Altuve.
