Dusty Baker on losing at home in the ALCS to Texas Rangers

“I don’t like tipping my cap to anybody, but when somebody, like, beats the hell out of me then what else are you going to do?”

“I’ve been on this side, too. Like I say, it’s not easy to accept or say, but we got beat. We have been spoiled around here as far as winning and winning and winning. And heck, I’ve been here four years, and we’ve been to two World Series and two Championship Series. We have nothing to be ashamed of or nothing to hold our head down about. We’re down, but we’re not out. And every team in baseball would trade to have had the last four years that we’ve had.”

HOUSTON ASTROS: With the loss, are eliminated from the 2023 Postseason and lose the ALCS 4-3…Finish the Postseason with a 6-5 overall record….Become first team
all-time to lose five consecutive home games in a single Postseason…Went 1-5 at home in the 2023 Postseason and 5-0 on the road.

those Game 7’s.

Postseason career and fourth of the 2023 playoffs…His 19 home runs and 54 RBI for his Postseason career are both the most all-time by a third baseman.
