ZACH CRIZER: The Astros Ranger series is going to be an exciting one. I believe it has the potential to be intense. There’s a particular player, Nathan Eovaldi, who has become my favorite post-season narrative/player. Remember when he pitched six innings and 94 pitches in relief during the 2018 World Series game 3? Despite the loss, he received a standing ovation for his exceptional performance. Now, he’s making a comeback after an injury that seemed to have affected him in the regular season. He’s been dominant in the playoffs so far, and I’m hoping to see more heroic moments from him in this series.

HANNAH KEYSER: While you’re keeping an eye on Nathan Eovaldi and the Rangers, I’m going to focus on Bruce Bochy. He might just be the secret to succeeding in the post-season. Can he take a team that had 94 losses last year all the way to the World Series? Bruce Bochy is an absolute delight. He never fails to impress with his interactions and the way he is around the team.
