    Oct 25, 2021 · Here are six important facts to keep an eye on as the two teams take the field. 1. Both teams use the shift a ton. This is going to be hugely important to remember when one batted ball gets through one shift one time, and the legions rise to yell about how the shift doesn’t work. (The shift does work.)

    The 2021 World Series featured an unprecedented match-up - at this level - between the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves. In fact, teams from the two cities had never previously met for a major championship in any sport.

    Game 1 @ Minute Maid Park

    1. Attendance: 42,825 Game 1 quickly showed its character as the Braves took a lead on Astros starter Framber Valdez's third pitch, and never looked back. Valdez had been a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde pitcher so far this postseason, marrying a very poor first start against the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS with a very strong second one; unfortunately for the Astros the start in today's game was like the first, and he did not complete three innings, leaving with a 5-0 deficit. For the Astros, vetera...

    Game 2 @ Minute Maid Park

    1. Attendance: 42,833 The Astros turned the tables on the Braves in Game 2, by being the ones who scored a bunch of early runs and then coasted to a relatively easy victory. They key was a four-run 2nd inning in which there were no hard-hit balls against Braves starter Max Fried, but a lot of soft hits that found holes, and some lackadaisical defensive play that compounded the problem. After having been pounded in his previous postseason start, Jose Urquidy threw five solid innings to earn th...

    Game 3 @ Truist Park

    1. Attendance: 42,898 Game 3 was a true pitchers' duel, even if neither of the starting pitchers went very deep. Luis Garcia for Houston allowed just 1 run in 3 2/3 innings, and Ian Anderson for Atlanta did not allow a hit in five innings before giving way to the bullpen with a one-run lead. Whether or not this was a good move will be subject to endless debate, but it did work for the Braves who nursed the no-hitter and the one-run lead into the 8th inning. The first was broken in the top of...

    While Brian Snitker, managed the Braves, his son Troy Snitkerserved as the Astros' assistant hitting coach. There was a lot of talk about the tomahawk chop, the war chant used by Braves fans at home games, and whether or not it was demeaning to Native Americans, especially in light of the Cleveland Indians ditching their long-time nickname and vari...
