The Astros have become a monster. It’s not bad enough that they are young and have more talent than they know what to do with. Having experienced victory over last year’s playoff gauntlet of Boston, New York and Los Angeles they now have such confidence that they don’t think they can be stopped. They have become the Godzillas of baseball.
Awesome talent and undoubted self-certainty. Do these guys even imagine losing a playoff series at this point?
They ran over Cleveland like a steamroller. Overwhelmed them like a juggernaut. Pulverized them like a dreadnought. OK, enough.
As in every other game this series the Astros waited to score, this time until the 5th inning.
