The red and white socks have been scrambled. Race 1 of AL Division Series it was one way, both in Houston and in Tampa Bay. They made it clear that Astros and Rays are two ready teams, they already have the energy and face for the postseason climate. They also have the means, the talent and the depth of the roster. But this was known. Then when the playoffs begin, other qualities are also needed, you need that ability to channel emotions and make them become an enzyme that triggers technical and physical abilities at the highest level. It amplifies them, multiplies them.
Astros and Rays have these qualities. They have built them in years of work, in many postseason games they have already experienced.
Houston ha battuto i Chicago White Sox per 6 a 1, attacking Chicago starting pitcher Lance Lynn and unleashing his batters, Alvarez and Altuve in particular.
Tampa Bay won 5-0 over the Red Sox, with a solid start from his McClanahan pitcher and an excellent defense. The absolute protagonist was the Cuban Randy Arozarena, a record game with a home run and a point scored by stealing home plate. Arozarena had been the big surprise of the 2020 postseason, a rookie who in important races it became devastating. He immediately found those feelings again. It’s back devastating.
Boston ends at zero but wasting many opportunities, leaving many runners on the bases without ever taking them home to score points. The defense of the Rays was deadly, just as the defense of the Astros was deadly in the other game. This is also a clear sign of who had more energy, who was more ready. The Chicago White Sox and the Boston Red Sox now understand what it takes to emerge in October. There is not much time, they have to respond quickly.
