Facts
Astros 7th Inning Avalanche is an Example of How Potent Their Lineup is – Pro Sports Outlook
Published
2 years agoon

Houston Astros have been one of the MLB’s best teams recently, reaching the ALCS in each of the last four years and are now one win away from making it five straight. Though their pitching has been terrific, it’s their offensive lineup that has been the primary reason for their success and continues to knock around opponents’ pitching, regardless of a cheating scandal surrounding their 2017 season.
The Astros led the league in AVG, OBP, Hits, and Runs this past regular season and have not slowed down so far in the postseason. Through two ALDS games against the Chicago White Sox they have scored 15 runs to go along with 20 hits and are leading the series 2-0 going back to Chicago on Sunday. Game 2 was tied 4-4 in the 7th inning until a 5-run explosion showed how potent their lineup can really be.

INTERESTING FACTS
- Tim Anderson recorded the most Hits (13) through a player’s 1st 5 career playoff GP in MLB history
- Luis Robert is the youngest player to record 3+ Hits during 1 postseason GP in Chicago White Sox history
- Chicago White Sox are the 1st team with 15+ Hits & 0 XBH during their 1st 2 games of a postseason in MLB history
MAIN TAKEAWAY
ASTROS 7TH INNING AVALANCHE IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW POTENT THEIR LINEUP IS
COLORS KEY | FULL ASTROS OUTLOOK
The Houston Astros have gone to the ALCS each of the last four seasons and are one game away from doing the same this October. They have taken a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Chicago White Sox behind key players Yordan Alvarez (3 H, 1 HR, 3 RBI), Michael Brantley (3 H, 3 RBI), and Carlos Correa (3 H, 2 RBI), who just recorded his 52nd postseason RBI, good for seventh most in MLB history.
In Game 2, the Astros rode a five-run 7th inning highlighted by clutch hits from Alvarez and Correa, along with a two-run HR from Kyle Tucker to give them a commanding 9-4 lead going into the 8th inning. The Astros pitching shut the door the rest of the way as they have all series, with the White Sox becoming the first MLB team to have more than 15 hits and 0 XBH through two postseason games. Though their pitching has been dominant, their explosive 7th inning was a reminder of just how good the Astros’ offense can be in case anyone forgot after their incredible 2021 regular season.

November 6, 2021
October 7th, 2021 was highlighted by Aaron Donald becoming the Rams official Sacks leader in franchise history since Sacks were recorded in 1982 as LA beat Seattle on TNF after Russell Wilson got injured mid-game. Randy Arozarena continued to enhance his postseason legacy with another HR as well as a SB toward home and Green Bay signed LB Jaylon Smith. Lance Lynn was crushed by the Astros with all the fastballs he threw, James Bouknight threw down a big preseason jam, and the Jets extended John Franklin-Myers.
See what happened in sports on October 7th last year, headlined by Cody Bellinger‘s incredible HR robbery to help seal a Game 2 win over San Diego and Washington announcing that they would be benching 2019 1st Rd pick QB Dwayne Haskins as well as what happened in sports on October 7th, 2019 ft. Yadier Molina keeping the season alive for the Cardinals.
WHAT HAPPENED IN SPORTS OVERVIEW: This daily sports post includes real headlines only (no clickbait rumors), all of the best highlights, interesting facts from around the NFL, NBA, & MLB, the main games to watch, notable birthdays, and a quick recap of significant events on this day in sports history.

Randy Arozarena is Already 1 of the Greatest Postseason HR Hitters of All-Time – Pro Sports Outlook
Published
2 years agoon
November 6, 2021
Postseason legends become household names and Randy Arozarena is joining that elite category that features names such as Mariano Rivera and Reggie Jackson. Arozarena is quickly becoming one of the greatest postseason HR hitters of all time despite technically being a 2021 rookie. The rise of Randy Arozarena has been one of the best stories in 2020 and 2021 and he has become a prominent player due to his October heroics that continued in ALDS Game 1 vs. Boston.

— Pro Sports Outlook (@PSO_Sports) October 8, 2021
INTERESTING FACTS
- Randy Arozarena is the 1st player with a HR & SB of home plate in 1 postseason GP in MLB history
- Wander Franco is the youngest player (20y, 220d) with an XBH in his MLB postseason debut since 1974
- Franco and Nelson Cruz are 1st duo 40+ & 20 years old with 1+ RBI in an MLB postseason
- TBR is the 1st playoff team with multiple rookie XBH (Franco, Arozarena) & 5 scoreless rookie IP (McClanahan)
- Randy is the franchise career playoff HR leader (11) and would lead 21 other teams in postseason HR
- Franco is the 1st player with multiple XBH in a regular-season debut and playoff debut in MLB history
- Wander is the youngest (20y, 220 d) player with multiple Hits during his postseason debut in MLB history
MAIN TAKEAWAY
RANDY AROZARENA IS ALREADY 1 OF THE GREATEST POSTSEASON HR HITTERS OF ALL-TIME
COLORS KEY | FULL RAYS OUTLOOK
Randy Arozarena continues to dominate in October and is one of the most prolific postseason players in MLB history. His performance during the 2020 playoffs was outstanding and his success has continued into the 2021 playoffs. While he was one of MLB’s most unheralded players just a year ago, his rise continues to amaze, especially given that he was a throw-in for Minor League prospect Matthew Liberatore in a trade with the Cardinals, who has yet to pitch in the MLB.
One of the best things about baseball is how insignificant players can flip the script and become some of MLB’s best players. Justin Turner bounced around the league before joining the Los Angeles Dodgers. Randy Arozarena has found a home in Tampa Bay and is solidifying himself as an elite postseason HR hitter as he’s already Tampa’s all-time postseason HR leader and would lead 21 other franchises as well. Arozarena looks to provide the push Tampa Bay needs to win their first World Series championship in 2021.

Facts
3 Reasons Why Aaron Donald is Better Than Any NFL Defensive Tackle Ever – Pro Sports Outlook
Published
2 years agoon
November 5, 2021
In Week 5’s edition of TNF, Aaron Donald became the Rams all-time franchise Sacks leader as they came out on top in a divisional affair with the Seattle Seahawks. The perennial All-Pro and 3x DPOY reached 88.5 sacks on Thursday, surpassing St. Louis Rams legend Leonard Little in the official sacks era (since 1982). Donald has long been considered a top player in the NFL, and this is just another milestone in what will end up being a surefire first-ballot Hall of Fame career.
Most career SK in #Rams history since officially tracked in 1982:
1. Aaron Donald (88.5)^
2. Leonard Little (87.5)
3. Kevin Greene (72.5)
T4. Kevin Carter, Robert Quinn (62.5)
6. Chris Long (54.5)
pic.twitter.com/4oHQ5j6NXr— Pro Sports Outlook (@PSO_Sports) October 8, 2021
INTERESTING FACTS
- Most career SK in Rams history: 1. AD (88.5), 2. Leonard Little (87.5), 3. Kevin Greene (72.5), T4. Kevin Carter, Rob Quinn (62.5)
- Seattle is on pace to allow the most YDS on defense (450.8/GP) in NFL history, just like they were through 5 weeks in 2020
- QB Russell Wilson was a perfect 9-0 in his 9 TNF games before facing the LA Rams
- Wilson had a .776 career win percentage in prime-time games in his NFL career, the highest mark by a starting QB since 1950
MAIN TAKEAWAY
3 REASONS WHY AARON DONALD IS BETTER THAN ANY NFL DEFENSIVE TACKLE EVER
COLORS KEY | FULL RAMS OUTLOOK
1. LEVERAGE
Because Aaron Donald is shorter than the average DT and almost every O-Lineman, he has the leverage advantage on almost every snap where he can get under the blocker’s pads and execute the popular football phrase “low man wins”. Something he executes better than anybody who’s ever played the game.
2. STRENGTH
Aaron Donald is far from the average 6’0” male and thus, using his near-superhero strength, he is able to bully his way through offensive lineman, taking the most direct route to the quarterback as he continuously bullrushes weaker Offensive Lineman that have no chance to stop the brute strength the 3x DPOY possesses.
3. QUICKNESS
Even with his incredible strength and power, Donald is also one of the quickest defensive lineman in recent memory. He uses a combination of speed finesse and power moves to easily evade blockers, go from one gap to another in the blink of an eye, and wiggle past opposing blockers with ease.
BEST HIGHLIGHTS
Double punt on TNF of course
So this happened.
