both close clutch expect gets great pitching series
The pitching has been great on both sides. It's what you expect in the playoffs. When you have a close series like this, it usually comes down to who gets the clutch hits.

This will probably never happen to him in his career again, giving up home runs in consecutive games. It's one of those freak things.

We're going to have to suck it up and move on. It's not going to be easy.
expect game win work
We expect to win that game 99 times out of 100, but it didn't work out tonight.

With the hitters we have, we are a threat to hit homers any time. I told Preston to stop showing me up. It seems like whenever I hit a home run, he gets up and hits one twice as far.

It is, ... kind of a softball atmosphere out there.

One-run games can go either way, and most of the time they do.

Its unbelievable, I cant even describe it. To be a big part of bringing the World Series the first World Series ever to Houston is just tremendous.

Theres a little more margin for error this year. Last year, it felt like we had to win every game. That wasnt a lot of fun.

I want to play every game of my career in an Astros uniform.
