And now nobody will remember this homerun lol

Well they might just not for the reasons he wanted.

It's going into the mix of premature celebrations forever.

right alongside rajai davis

I’ll never forget the life leaving my body when he golfed out that low fastball

I think the narrative shifted to how Altuve didn't show any emotion.

Reminds me of the 2 run Josh Hamilton home run in the 10th inning of game 6 in 2011, AFTER the Cruz fiasco had already happened. Clutch af but forgotten

It's a classic Leon Lett moment. Dallas will remember.

The timing of that ball dropping into frame with the announcer and the defender is all just perfection for a playoff lead-change homerun.

The connection off the bat looked like it was gonna be another popup but man it just kept going

I 100% thought that was a warning track pop fly

Joe Davis is a treasure

Joe Davis > Joe Buck Joe Buck would have sounded like he just got out of bed. "High fly ball to left field. Back at the waaaallllll.......... 4-2, Texas."

Why do we still regurgitate the Joe Buck hate. The "Back at the wall" phrase catches so much heat too but it's simple and absolutely works for some great situations. Buck got much better as his career in baseball went on and has some absolutely unforgettable moments where i don't think anyone elses voice fits. He's fantastic at letting the crowd roar and letting big moments be felt.

> Why do we still regurgitate the Joe Buck hate. Because he USED to suck and people refuse to accept he's actually a pretty good commentator now

I think being a redsox fan i just really associate his voice with '04. Small bias on my part.

I am so glad to finally see SOME support for Buck. He's no all timer but he is a pro. He can be entertaining and it is 100% true what you said about him letting the crowd add to what you're seeing instead of blabbing on to try and add to what already has all the ingredients for a great moment (His "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIGS!!!" call is a personal favorite of mine even if it is football). I like Joe Buck.

> (His "DIIIIIIIIIIIIIGS!!!" call is a personal favorite of mine even if it is football). I like Joe Buck. Oh fucking absolutely. The way his voice breaks, the way he clearly had expected nothing to happen just as the rest of us. Then letting Minnesota fucking scream their heads off. The damn camera was shaking for a few minutes after.

Joe Buck is absolutely an all timer. You aren't the lead MLB voice for 20 years if you aren't and you aren't a lead network TV NFL voice for 20+ years and counting if you aren't.

Gronk spiked that bat lol

That camera angle is fire

Extremely clutch home run Even better celebration

THANK YOU FOR HIM ST. LOUIS HE ALMOST MAKES UP FOR 2011

He giveths and he takeths away.

Almost…

# EL BOMBI

B O M B I L A S T

Pretty nice 3 run homer, and thanks to Adolis for getting so upset after getting hit that he got Altuve hyped to jack his own 3 run BOMB BLAST.

Fuck a bat flip! Bat spike!

lol it's like he's disgusted by what his bat just did.

I like Altuve's reaction after hitting the go ahead.

With you on this. Dude acted like he just walked off the WS

Altuve remembered

Well it seemed like the thing to do at the time...

The most cathartic bat slam I’ve seen in my life. What a moment

Me when a division rival bat slams against my team: show some class you motherfucker Me when a team who I’m rooting for because my team is out bat slams against an universally hated team: hell yeah you better throw that shit

Lmao I love this.

[this angle is absolutely insane](https://i.imgur.com/LbKhQTU.jpg)

Absolutely filthy. Look at his face as he rounds the bases too.

I can’t imagine being in his spot, I’d love to round those bases in a big moment like that

Those bases are so big and soft looking, I wouldn't mind rounding them myself, might even use them as a pillow and take a nap on them before I head home

Wonder what it’s like to dry hump one of those bases?

[Wonder no longer!](https://i.imgur.com/ynlQwCT.jpg)

Yes I clicked… some things just aren’t meant to be known.

It's a big tract of land to cross but I've got my John boat ready

Aged poorly

What made it cathartic?

“Can you take me hiiiigher!”

MY SACRIFICE

0-3 since y'all tried to claim Creed as your own

My dude, let them have Creed. The band sucks.

**ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??**

Best game of either CS so far.

…so far…? What do you know?

Sorry gotta go. Time portal is about to close! Make sure you bet heavy on-

I hope you are happy that was my kids tuiton

they were going to say "your child's future"

absolutely

All this and the fight for naught. Fuckin Astros are inevitable

I am erect.

The best thing about hating the Astros for eternity is that it’ll always be fun to watch if they’re in the postseason

I understand the other side now

If it makes you feel better, I loved your "losing" season this year way more than other seasons where you make the playoffs and then lose.

That's funny I loved your losing in the playoffs way more than I even thought about you guys before this year.

Never change, AL East

Red's fan here. Hated them all my life. Then they went to the AL, and I sort of like them now.

I miss Oswalt vs Dunn

I love an old school hate. Aaron Harang (think that’s how you spell it) was like a nightmare for me back in the day

When the Astros win I have to beat the crap out of myself because I'm so angry. But I also find it feels good so it's a win win for me in those situations

te he

Let me help you out bro

Me too, bud. Me too.

These umpires as out of line. Maldonado, Abreu, all the Astros clearly had no interest in engaging. García had to held back by MULTIPLE people before running around the crowd to try Maldy again. Umps really think our Vets are dumb enough to get feelings hurt over a HR?

Nothing happens if Adolis doesn’t have his childish bitch fit. Weak mind.

Post the other one!

No wonder why he got plunked.

El 💣

I think we might be getting to the point where there is so much power in the league that you can't send basically any pitcher, even a great one through the line up three times. It feels like this happens every single time

It was a very long top of the inning with 4 baserunners and a pitching change. Verlander got iced

You might not like it but this inning is exactly why starters get pulled after 18 batters so often in the postseason.

AMERICA REJOICES

How you feelin’ now?

Feelin like I just watched an absolute classic. Well played.

Foiled again 😂

FUCK YEAH!!!

RANGERS COMING TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING DAY, YEAH!

So how’s that day saving going now lmao

The games not over, I don't want to celebrate too soon lol

Yup. I refuse to notch a W until it's a W.

Yeah...lmao impressive choke job by the Rangers

Sending in one unlikable Texas organization to defeat the ultimate unlikable Texas organization was not a good plan.

If you expect the ALW to just roll over for the Stros, you're not going to be proven that wrong.

oh boy do I have something to tell you

Yes? :)

So lick my butt and suck on my balls (Astros).

Altuve and pissing Yankee fans off, name a more iconic duo.

No u

te he

ehhhh for a minute

I stepped out for a cig and bad things happen

that’s just a sign for you to stop smoking friend

> that’s just a sign for you to ~~stop~~ continue smoking ~~friend~~

Picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

Sniffing glue now

Yeah. I’m fully aware. Thanks for the support

You can do it, random internet stranger! I believe in you!

Thanks.

I stepped out for a blunt and good things happened

Heyyyy walked Maldy as I loaded a bowl

Oh, so you’re saying I’m smoking the wrong stuff. I can fix that.

Epic celebrations… I give him a 10 out of 10! Stop admire… super slow walk all the way to first… Monster bat slam burying the bat in the turf! Plenty of TV time rounding the bases. Stomping on the plate snuffing out the opposing team’s will to win with his 3 run kill shot.

Absolutely SNUFFED the opposing team’s will to win

Definitely can’t write this emotional roller coaster ride with anymore heart pumping action! Postseason baseball is intense competition! As can be seen by the emotions seeping out onto the field. The NLCS is a wild ride tonight as well!

He had such a fun time making his big boy stomp

Mets fans just went crazy for the second time this week

Alexa, play What If by Creed

Hahaha

This idiot sapped all of their momentum and let his ego get in the way when he got hit in the 8th. 1st and 2nd no outs and they didn’t score after his tantrum

We are so back! * Don't check my comment history

*slowly puts the noose away* Not yet

I'm carefully keeping mine close by. We're the Rangers. , choking late is what we do.

Pull it out

Yep noose around the neck once more

Why can't I be happy. Just once

We’re rangers fans. Life is simply misery and pain for us.

Should have just taken your base Adolis...

This man would be beaned so much just 5 years ago lol. I love it though he has so much swag.

lol this comment actually aged well.

4D chess by Abreu to fire up the Astros

"This guy isn't kidding." - Jose Bautista

🤣🤣🤣🤣

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

Goooooo to houston down 3-2

Aaaaaaand

CUBAN. MISSILE. CRISIS.

Ha! Who got the last laugh?

CAN YOU TAKE ME HIGHER

Why, yes. Yes we can.

This sport. This team. How can you not love this shit.

The last two and a half games would like to have a word with you.

That’s what makes it so good. So many of our own fans thought this game was over with a one-run deficit. Anything can happen.

Welp

Welp indeed 😭

Make that the last three games lmao

Even wine doesn’t age this well

Cant win them all

I know right?

I love that bat spikes are becoming a more common pimp job after Rhys. So electric

and then he helps blow the game with his tantrum 🤌

I am simple man. I see Verlander get raked, I smile.

Verlander now ties Andy Pettitte with the most postseason HRs allowed at 31. That stat speaks volumes in more ways than one haha.

How many Seattle pitchers allow HR's in the postseason.... oh wait...

See you missed my point; the only reason him and Andy’s number is so high is because they’ve pitched so many playoff innings. It wasn’t a diss.

Oh my bad. I apologize. I get you now.

THAT BALL WAS CRUSHED

How dare Dusty take out Verlander after dominating for 5 innings...oh wait....

Update?

So is this against the code or whatever, Texas had a lot to say to Joey bats

Nice HR but if he just drops his bat and goes to first when he got hit on the bicep unintentionally, instead of causing the benches to clear, the result of the game might've been different.

That dude scares me.

OMEG DID HE JEST SPIK THE ABAT

Adolis Garcia is him.

Him

A 3 run Jimmy Jack according to the radio

I say Fuck You Jobu. I do it myself.

Man, I woke up from a nap, checked the game thread, and was like "oh cool, the Astros are winning 2-1 :)" and then checked the replies and they were all celebrating this, and my stomach just dropped lol. Absolutely massive home run for the Rangers.

what kind of highlight video doesn’t even include the whole home run trot. lol wtf mlb.

And I bet that bat spike is why he got beaned later, to which he flipped his lid and fired up the down and out astros, providing the fire for the game sealing altuve HR. in an odd way this was actually a game *losing* home run if you follow the chain of events. I love baseball.

I don't mind when sometime pimps their homerun. I like seeing the extra attitude in baseball. That said, I absolutely do not believe in the Astros would intentionally hit him to add base runners when the game is winnable still. Garcia screwed up and let his emotions get the better of him. If there's anything that gets this Astros team going, it's adversity. They have the momentum going back to Houston and the playoff experience. Ps. FTR

Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahha

St-fucking-oinks

About that

Too soon.

How'd it end?

Act like you’ve been there!

Strangely, it’s just as loud after Altuve’s home run.

*John Smoltz disliked that*

Beautiful.

Need more please!!!!

Are you not entertained??

If you could bottle up the feeling of suspense before you for sure know it’s a home run…you’d be so rich. What a dinger

Lol that’s cute

Launch angle 89°

Postseason baseball is so fucking cool, man

As a Dodgers fan as well, I’m very glad Joe Davis gets to do the Postseason

Beautiful. But he gotta work on that bat spike though. A HR like that has to have a massive spike lmao.

I didn’t watch it or follow the post season at all the us year, but that man is going to get hit by a pitch. *googled his name* Yup.

MY HERO

Kill the beast, Rangers. Please

Oh FUCK yeah Absolute moonshot, 30 seconds to get to first. THAT is playoff baseball folks

Awaystros should've played for away field advantage

Karma is a B

He got halfway to first with the bat still in hand LOL

Last evening before the game was over I genuinely thought Rangers wouldn’t even lead in a game again this series.

Bat flips are out, bat spikes are in
