1:48 is a moment that should be getting significantly more attention. Down 6 - 2, the Mariners rip yet another line drive into the outfield with a runner in scoring position. Another run and a 7 - 2 score looked imminent. The rout was on. It looked like SEA came to play and simply overwhelmed the Astros. They gave them more than they could handle. Then Alvarez - a player with a bizarre and grossly inaccurate reputation as being merely a DH - scoops up the ball as the runner is already past 3rd and is 1/3 of the way home and throws an absolute lazer from 300ft away, saving the run, ending the inning, and stopping the bleeding. Next inning Gurriel pops one into the crawford boxes and the slow methodical comeback begins. Without that throw from Alvarez there would have been no comeback, no sweep, and who knows how the rest of the series would have unfolded.
Even though this was a sweep, it did not feel like a sweep. Every game was close and super stressful. Mariners will definately be a threat to the division moving on. Go stros!!!!!
Alvarez and Pena are getting a bunch of credit, that they obviously deserve, but let's not forget how much of a difference it's made having a healthy Bregman. They have to pitch to Alvarez a lot more now that Bregman is healthy and he's been a weapon on defense again.
you don't see competitive sweep very often but this was one. of them. all games were winnable by Seattle but they just didn't have the ice in them like the Astros did. Congrats Astros as Mariners fan.
Playoffs are all I could ask for. The Astros are great all around. I can't think of much that there is to improve for them. Great starting pitching and bullpen with an insane lineup with Altuve, Tucker, Alvarez and Pena.
Even though the Astros swept em, the Mariners had every right to win this series in game 1. Unfortunately Yordan is always God in the playoffs, and that killed their momentum. Regardless, Seattle made history this year, and I hope they are back here soon.
@assassin 24 I have no doubt the Astros still would have won the series but it might have taken 5 games. But Astros really ground it out this time, I hope they keep it up.
@@g-man3777 Losing to the better team isn't choking lol. They only got lucky in G1 because Verlander choked, he was terrible. The Mariners played good in G1 & G2, it just wasn't enough for the W.
@@g-man3777 Wow, you're really confused. The other division series were not vs Astros, who had 5 consecutive ALCS appearances and is now 6 straight ALCS appearances. The Mariners were playing the most consistently high performing team in the playoffs in all of baseball, and to no one's surprise they lost. That's not choking, that's just losing to the better team.
Pitiful performance by verlander in that game one and game one in the ws... One might consider these moments during his potential return.... Js. He wasnt the best on this squad. ESPECIALLY- in the post. The fact that the astros came back from that? The 18 inning dogfight? Sweeping the yanks and the epic-- EPIC- ws brawl?? Legendary folks...
A SWING AND A MISS! Got him to chase……pitch was almost right down the middle. That’s not a chase. When u chase it’s a pitch OUT OF THE STRIKE ZONE. Why are professionals so bad at their jobs? Constantly. It doesn’t help expanding and reinvigorating the sport, which is what baseball is trying to do. When the TV broadcast sounds like guys who have never seen a baseball game it’s a problem. It’s not helping that’s for sure
Hate the Trashtros but it’s also super funny watching an absolute disaster of a Franchise lose over and over and over and over and over again. Seattle is a joke. Have they ever even made it to an ALCS? Never mind the World Series, have they even made it to a CS?? What a disgrace. What do those fans have to be excited about. They’ve literally never won anything ever. How are their fans and f that team still to this day? I don’t understand how losing teams that NEVER win can last in this industry. It’s bizarre. It shouldn’t work. People shouldn’t support losing. Would change the game positively if people would boycott horribleness
Astros are going to be a nightmare this postseason, Seattle will be back though!
Ofcause
Hopefully Seattle doesn't get punch in the dick next year.
Yep.
lol. lmao.

As an lifelong Astros fan, I have nothing but respect for the Ms and all of their players. Hell’va team. See y’all next year.

As a Mariners fan, a healthy bregman absolutely was the one of the main reasons the Mariners lost this series. So much clutch hitting from everyone
The 2022 Astros had little to no weak points and that’s why I loved watching last season as well as this season.
6 straight ALCS appearances for the Astros. Awfully impressive
5* 2020 doesn't count. Which also means the Astros have made 3 straight world series. Take it whichever way you want

Best team Astros played all postseason
Seattle played Houston tougher than NY did actually
No doubt that they could've beaten NY if they advanced. Mariners were scary good and were better than the Yankees.
As a yankee fan, this is painfully true
If the Mariners ever did advance to the ALCS with the Yankees In 5 or 6 games SEA without a doubt
Amazing that Cristian Javier was used in relief in Game 1 of the ALDS and then placed back in the rotation to dominate the rest of the playoffs.

Total nonsense, you can't win a series in game 1. Houston was down 0-2 vs the Rays and still came back to beat them.
@@bobbygetsbanned6049 Let me clarify: they had the momentum to win the series in Game 1 and Yordan ruined that.
@@baseballsoffury642 True, if they won game 1 vs Verlander the series could have gone much differently.

@@bobbygetsbanned6049 they mean that who wins game 1 is technically gonna go for a sweep or win the whole series
Seattle was definetly the culprit that flipped a switch in Houston for the rest of the Season, and by God, a season it was.
Another one to enjoy unbelievable
That was a great series and an even better postseason.
13:12 that looked smooth that slide also I wish the mariners won this series so maybe the Yankees would play them
As an Astros fan that was a heart breaker. But you Yankee fans need to focus on the damn Guardians before worrying about who's in the ALCS lol.
M’s gonna be better next year AL West gonna be an actual race next year
for sure! but the astros still win the division
I doubt it. Don't get me wrong. The M's will certainly be good, just not on the Astros level for a full 162 game season.
@@isaacfonseca4374this was def right lol
Let’s go Astros!!
Mariners we’re not going to win this series. Still they gave the Astros WAY more competition than the Yankees.
Seattle just didn’t have that ice in them like they thought they had, choked 3 straight winnable games.
They choked? They were playing the best team in the AL lol, I wouldn't call that choking.

Typical Verlander in the playoffs giving up 6 runs in 4 innings in game 1. He's great in the regular season.
Why was Verlander still in this game
Astros fan only
I really don’t understand how teams struggle to score for that long I mean no runs until the 18th 💀 same could be said for the guardians rays game 2
Let's go stros

Yah JV screwed the pooch again this game. Now he’s in NY. Wait til they see how they treat him and Kate! Too boring for them in the H.
