With no Black players in World Series, Astros manager Dusty Baker is 'ashamed of the game'​


HOUSTON — Dusty Baker hears it all, tilts his head back and sighs in disbelief.
Come on, do people believe actually believe that he needs to win a World Series to get into the Hall of Fame?
Really?
The man has led a record five teams to 12 postseason berths, three World Series appearances, and has won more games than all but eight managers in history.
The Houston Astros do not need to win the World Series title over the Philadelphia Phillies beginning Friday night at Minute Maid Park for Baker to be inducted into Cooperstown.
Baker, 73, who plans to manage the Astros at least one more season, has bigger and better things on his mind, but certainly understands what a title will represent.
Win the World Series, and he becomes only the third Black manager to win a World Series in baseball history.
He would be recognized as one of the greatest managers in the history of the game. He would become the oldest manager in history to achieve the feat.
Win the World Series, and it will be engraved on his plaque in Cooperstown.
“The Hall of Fame, that’s not my motivation for any of this,’’ Baker tells USA TODAY Sports. “That’s not my motivation. Most of my life, I haven’t gotten what I deserve, so I don’t expect the Hall of Fame. I don’t expect nothing.
 
It was funny watching him switch accounts frantically when I hit the 20th post in this thread.

So easy to make him jump and twitch.
 


The Philadelphia Phillies are going to the World Series for the first time since 2009. The Houston Astros are going for the second year in a row.

Coming into the game, McCullers had given up just three earned runs in 11 postseason innings this month. He was pulled after the fifth home run, lasting only 4 1/3 innings, giving up all seven runs. He allowed just four home runs in eight regular-season starts this season.

Javier struck out nine batters and issued just two walks through the first six innings. At the start of the fourth, he began a stretch of five consecutive strikeouts. In the sixth, the pitcher with the lowest groundball rate in the majors during the regular season among those who compiled at least 140 innings -- benefitted from three consecutive groundouts. At that point, Javier became the first pitcher to reach six no-hit innings in the World Series since Jerry Koosman in 1969.

World Series no-hitter most-watched Game 4 since 2019​

Chas McCormick's ninth-inning catch saves Astros in Game 5​


After he leaped against the right-center-field scoreboard and secured the catch of his life, a catch that, depending on what the Houston Astros do the rest of this week, could go down as one of the most memorable and important in baseball history, Chase McCormick just laid there, back to the warning-track dirt, feet sprawled out in front of him, glove to the sky. Now they'll have two chances in Houston to secure their first title since the tainted one of 2017. The Astros recently lost two World Series to underdog teams from the National League East, first the Washington Nationls in 2019 and then the Atlanta Braves in 2021. It seemed as if it might happen again this year, when the Phillies, a team that won 19 fewer regular-season games, earned a split from Houston and took a 2-1 Series lead with a five-home-run barrage in Game 3 in Philadelphia.

Phillies (1) @ Astros (4)

The Astros had secured their first World Series championship since the tainted one from 2017, punctuating a dominant six-year stretch that saw them finish no further than seven wins away from a ring at the end of each season. Now 73, Baker spent three decades chasing a championship he won only once, as an outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1981. He took 12 teams to the postseason and claimed 2,093 career regular-season victories before finally winning his first title as a manager, a milestone that will cement what is certain to become a Hall of Fame career.

How the Astros keep getting deep into the playoffs when so many other powerhouses fail​


How, in the chaotic world of the MLB postseason, do the Houston Astros keep doing this? Six straight trips to the American League Championship Series. Four pennants. Even during an October when 100-win teams were dropping like flies, here Houston is again, having punched its ticket for the Fall Classic. What's amazing about Houston's consistency over the past six years is that it's not the same group of players who began that run. In this postseason format, randomness happens. Yes, we understand why teams win in the playoffs while they are doing it, usually because of some combination of a hot hitter or two and an airtight bullpen. It's predicting which team will get hot in advance that is so hard to do.
