1. Yay Charlie.

2. We are still in that god damn bad habit of leaving runners stranded to many every damn game. I don't think it's me. Diaz hasn't hit a home run in 35 days. That's pathetic, and Meyers must come through or it's bye bye 7 year run.

3. I can't believe Tigers really lost 2 games vs the worst team in literally the history of baseball to land in Astros lap. Skubal in a 3 game series doesn't sound fun at all but we got a Framber so play ball. Ay at least the wild card isn't one game anymore

4. I hope the Astros taught pitchers had to field their position 🙏 Go Astros!

5. From New Mexico Go Stros ? What none of y'all didn't say the Astros play better on the road in the playoffs am I right or wrong

6. The Astros are gonna be running into the buzz saw that is the Detroit Tigers and I can’t wait until they get swept in the first two games. How’s it feel to be in the wildcard round 🐆 🐆 🎃 eaters enjoy I hope it goes all three games and that you guys have a lead up until the ninth inning and then the tiger shut the door on your entire season. The only thing I still wish was that the wildcard round was a one game playoff still, but no matter, even if you advance to the DS your pitching rotation will be entirely upside down and I guarantee you now all of you are going to be coming out without injury or some sort of ailment from this series, the tigers ain’t gonna go quietly and I think they’re gonna put y’all out. Cheers to all the baseball teams who don’t go out there and put a giant sheet stain on Major League Baseball Tell me Astro fans how do you cheer for a team who has disgraced the game how can you sit here and root for that? I’m so glad I’m not a fan of that team and even if I was, I would’ve definitely turned my fan card in this moment the cheating scandal was brought to light. I can’t support any team that could disgrace the game so badly.

7. Tigers lost on purpose to get Houston

8. Charlie really just said that the Astros lineup without Yordan is “mediocre”. WHAT??? Charlie is a moron who just hates the Astros.

9. The real season starts now. Teams that have a lot of playoff experience helps those teams out.

10. I’ve seen yainer in batting practice, man had some amazing raw power

11. 1000 extra points for the dude wearing a Know Your Gear shirt!!!

12. The Astros offense has to be on fire in order to win because the bullpen will lose the game. Espada is not that great or smart as people give him credit. He keeps making Dusty the 🤡 decisions by bringing in Hader when everyone knows he will give up runs and lose the game unless the Astros have more than 3 runs in the 9th.

13. This a “do your job” team everyone does their part. No one HAS to take the shine but it would be nice. THAT is this team.

14. Getting rid of Dusty and Maldonaldo has significantly helped Framber mentally. He seems calmer and more mature than he ever did when those two were still here. Don't forget A.J. made bad pitching decisions in the '19 WS that cost us a championship.

15. Hinch will be the true wild card in this series

16. The manager that started the dynasty run might end the dynasty run! Couldn’t have scripted it better MLB 😅

17. No mention of Parker Meadows? Insulting.. Talk about an X factor. Guy was hitting .096 after may and got demoted to triple A. Comes back in august and ever since has been an absolute menace in all facets of the game. Hes been the tigers best player during this crazy run, and one of the best in all of baseball.

18. Hunter Brown in gm 2? WTF. put ronel in game 2.

19. U have no idea

20. detroit stands no chance against the astros
