The Astros Just Became Baseball's BIGGEST DYNASTY 

What do you think? Also, it's Bryan Abreu, not Jose Abreu. My mistake!

Growing up and watching them everyday when the Astros weren't that good, the past 5 or 6 years are just insane to think about. I never could have imagined how good they'd become.

As a Mariners fan, even though we got swept, I'm still glad we gave 'em more of a fight than the Yanks. Congrats Astros!

That no hitter in this world series is a kind of cherry on top.

I am so happy for dusty baker. He finally won after being known for blowing it in the playoffs and the world series. Good job man. Plus he was a former Atlanta Brave. I gotta represent

Just stop for one second and think…what more would’ve been done if we had our best all around hitter, MICHAEL BRANTLEY 🤯🤯🤯

I’m a Phillies fan but I must say the middle and bottom of the rotation really impressed me for Houston. They really stepped up.

As an astros fan i gotta love this in depth look at their postseason run I couldn't have been happier to be a fan

This is not only a W for Houston solidifying itself as a true sports city, but the state of Texas. Texas always brought talented baseball players, but the team's that represented the state never got the cherry on top. The 2017 win felt like an asterisk, although the Red Sox did something similar the following year and nobody talks about it. This World Series Championship definitely put Texas on the map as a baseball state with Missouri, California, and New York.

As an h town long lifer, this was so freaking beautiful. The whole season, post season. Just incredible

Great piece...well done! Their run will continue for the foreseeable future too as most of their roster will be back next year, and the amount of young talent on this team is insane: Yordon Alvarez is 25; Kyle Tucker 25; David Hensley 26; Bryan Abreu 25; Hunter Brown 24; Luis Garcia 25; Christian Javier 25; Framber Valdez 26; Jeremy Pena 25; Korey Lee 24; Josey Urquidy 27; even Alex Bregman is only 28, and Lance McCullers is only 29. The future is very bright! Go Strohs!

6:30 You can’t leave out David Hensley having an incredible AB and taking his walk before Peña would get his hit and Yordan would walk it off

I have never been more happy as an Astros fan than finally having a ring that I can point to and say “hey look we’re legit” which we can for 2022. We cheated in 2017, but a team doesn’t stay this good for this long if the only thing they have is cheating. I was at game 2 in person, it was electrifying. I am proud to be an Astros fan. Can’t wait for next season where I hope we can take yet another ring 🧡🚀

2018 Boston Red Sox caught cheating was something that not only you left out, but seems that the whole sports world continues to have a case of amnesia when it comes to pointing that out.

Very well produced video. I will say, Jeff Luhnow deserves a ton of credit for his role in this. The moves made prior to his departure set us up for continued success, and as an organization, we’ve kept it rolling. Can’t wait to do it again next year. #YouGotHouston

I remember listening to the day games from the back of my high school classrooms late 90s. We stuck around for many disappointing seasons. We deserve this! Best fans in the league!

As a Rangers fan, I have yet to care about the "cheating" in 17. I'm still convinced every team cheats like that, the stros were just dumb enough to get caught

Feels really cool that the Astros are starting to become like the Patriots of baseball

"I left for a fkg $3 mil yearly difference...I shoulda stayed"-CC#1

As I watched with tears in my eyes my Astros win the WS, I tip my hat to the Phillies - you guys fought so hard and were a tough team all through the 6 games! You have a stellar team, so no shade on you guys. I'm so proud of our Astros for toughing it out those 6 games - but again, the Phillies gave us a real run for our money. We'll meet again!!

Still can't believe my Astros won it all! Amazing postseason run featuring Alvarez's walkoff against Mariners in game 1. His go ahead homer in game 2. The 18 inning game with Pena hitting the only homer. The sweep of the Yankees and completely dominating them. Then watching the no hitter vs the Philles and the amazing clutch 3 run home run in game 6 by Alvarez. Plus all the amazing plays and hits made by Jeremy Pena. I'll never forget this run for as long as I live. Go 'Stros 🤘🧡💙

You forgot that Michael Brantley was playing left field until he re-injured his shoulder to end his season (career?) . That was a huge loss to the team at the time.

2010s Giants: 😐

It’s so weird that after all this time only 2017 is looked down on but 2018 is not for Boston.

The Astros were not the underdog against the Phillies, they were the favorites against every team they faced. People rooted against them because they don’t like them. Most people outside of Philly who said that the Phillies would win it probably wouldn’t have bet money on it.

why does no one ever talk about the Red Sox cheating the same way in 2018?

Thank you so much for this video. It was a fun year and this Astros team, dusty, the fans, the city of Houston truly deserve the championship! My hat off to the mariners, the yankeees and the Phillies for giving the Astros the challenge to get here. I know the other teams will be more hungrier next year but the Astros will, with no doubt in my mind, come back better than ever before. Congrats to my team, your 2022 World Series champions!!! The Houston Astros!!!!

Open up the second letter showing many teams doing the same. Commissioner won’t open it

I agree, those guys cleared up the Astros name and went on to have a great 2022 postseason, well deserved win, and Dusty is now a solid HOF candidate, Congrats Astros !!!

Great Vid. We are in the Golden Age for STROS Baseball and it’s Unbelievable at most times. The number of team and league records we broke this year is insane. To name a few- -2 immaculate innings in the same game against the same three batters with two different pitchers -Led the A.L. in every Major Pitching Category (ERA, Wins, Strikeouts, Quality Starts, Saves) -No Hit Yankees and Phillies in there Stadiums with Combined Pitching staff both which were Started by Javier and ended by Pressley. Yanks had not been NO HIT since early 2000’s by another Combined Astros Staff. And Was the second team ever to NO HIT the opposing team in a World Series And first to do it with a combined pitching staff -First Rookie SS To win a Gold Glove and Tied for 1st for a Rookie to Win MVP in the ALCS and WS & is 34 Million a Year cheaper then Correa -Will have a Cy Young award winner in Justin Verlander following a Year and a Half break for Tommy John Surgery & Recovery -Framber Valdez recorded 25 straight Quality Starts in the same season -Our 2 Catchers Maldonado & Vasquez Caught the Most Baserunners trying to Steal and led in Defensive WAR -Tucker is the Second Astro ever to Hit 30+ HR’s, 100+RBI’s and steal 25+ bases. (Bagwell was the 1st)

Thank you for pointing out the series against the 2021 Red Sox. That was fresh in my mind the whole series. I kept saying after the NLDS that this Phillies team reminded of the 2021 Red Sox more than the 2019 Nationals & 2021 Braves, just because both the Phillies & Sox weren’t hot going into the postseason, unlike the Nats & Braves. Both teams just caught fire in the playoffs, winning the wild card games & knocking off 100 win teams in the DS. Only difference is one ran into the Astros in the ALCS, and the other in the World Series.. but like you said, both won game 3 by big margins whilst hitting a ton of homers, giving them 2-1 leads, only to lose the next two at home and get closed out in Houston by only scoring 3 runs total the rest of the way. Crazy how similar the situations were, and my theory ended up being very true. Fantastic video though, sir! Love your channel.

They really have been banging up the league and creating a huge buzz over the last few years

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOOO

Really nice seeing dusty and the Astros win it. Im not an Astros fan but I can say that they deserved it. I like seeing good teams like this. It’s not the dodgers, nor Yankees with tons of old all star free agents. It’s a great team formed with young players.

Thank you so much for your video ❤

I look forward to your uploads. An absolute savage when it comes to baseball content.

Its funny how its only ever the haters that get upset at 2017 astros. Bro literally every team steals signs. Its a strawman for loser teams to try and attack because they lost that year. and these past 5 years soldify that the Astros are just that good regardless whether you think stealing signs is bad or not

At the end, you gave shout-outs to everyone except for the most important part of the Astros: the fans. I've been a fan for nearly 50 years and having to endure the tainted championship with its incessant hatred -- even from my own brother, a Dodgers fan -- hasn't been easy. I wanted and needed this win. Of all years, this is the one I really needed, for other personal reasons such as a health condition I'm fighting, similar to Mancini did. This team gave me a huge and much needed pick-me-up this year and I knew in my heart they could do it. I wish I could hug them all.

great video! so much details!

I think the country hating on them just made them better (I wont get into the fact that they literally learned the trick from the Yankees Beltran and that the Yankees and Red Sox just paid a fine for doing the exact same thing). It was a truly "Us against the world" mentality,

We don’t rebuild, we reload. #houstonastros

Every team was cheating in 2017, only difference was we had Mr. Judas in the locker room

Astro fan 4 life, celebrating the wins here in Spain* at 4:30 am is something unbelievable.

Beautiful well put together a video about the Houston Astros.

Why is it that the Astros 2017 championship is tainted but we all ignore the 2015-2019 Yankees season and the 2018 Redsox. The same 2018 Redsox that won 4-1 in the ALCS against the Astros. Yet it's talked about as if nothing happened.

Verlander at 39 with Cpoy and most likely Cy is so fkin amazing

Was waiting for this video

Wonderful piece! THANKS

You know, for the record. Since the baseball was first started, stealing signs was a thing. It's something that most don't talk about, but it has been going on for a long time. Yes, I am a life long Astros fan, no I don't condone cheating. But the Astros get way too much grief over being caught. Barry Bonds is probably one of the greatest players ever, but he is still waiting on an invite to the hall. A few others are in the same boat. I am just saying, yes, cheating is bad. And No, it will never stop. Every so often MLB has to "Make an example" But in all fairness, they want the cash rolling in, so they often over look a lot of stuff. TLDR: MLB has to nail someone every so often so they look like they care. Also, if you really believe the Astros were the only ones cheating... I have a bridge for sale.

You mentioned cheating plenty of times and neglected to mention that most of the teams Houston beat also cheated.

Great video, Go Astros!!!!

The weird thing to me is that the 2018 Red Sox were also sign stealing using electronic devices, but nobody views their 2018 World Series as tainted like the Astros. It just never gets mentioned.

Ive been waiting for this for so long and definitely they deserve it

The Astros have literally proven people wrong

Thank you for making this...

Yes sir it’s just as simple as having great minds finding great talent and having a hell of a coaching staff!

Another banger❤😎

As a Houston fan and talking with most other fans I know, we pretty much all accept that 2017 is tainted which ironically got many people I know into baseball fans. It made for a great “redemption” arc so to say we wanted a win that was clean, and after coming so close so many times these past few years it was heart breaking each time they fell short. It’s one of the most Interesting sports narratives I’ve gotten to witness. I feel like we also have kinda become the new Yankees in base ball as well. The big bad to be defeated, which I’m also okay with but I think more than ever that fostering of talent is great to watch. The AAA team that feeds the astros is also in Houston so a lot of the people that won this series we got to see in the minors years earlier. It’s just fun to watch.

2000% accurate. The Astros are the truest example of an MLB dynasty since the Braves in the mid-90s.

I was at game 6 World Series, what a legendary night ! Astros champions babyyyy !!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fans that know baseball history understand that stealing signs is over a hundred years old,and EVERY team has done it. Old school did it with binoculars and walkie talkies. 52 giants did it in the world series

You my friend have read my mind! Great commentating!!! I still can't believe why we cheated in 2017, we were pretty effing good. This team though in 2022 is by far the best Astros roster from top to bottom!

Love the video. Btw it’s Bryan Abreu in the Astros bullpen.

Thanks for making a great video, in-depth and informative, too bad all the haters are blind and deaf when it comes to the facts. I love it that we won 22’ but I promise you one thing is that we will only get better and the haters will hate us even more than before. Go Stros 🤘🏽

Having Altuve, Peña and Alvarez as your first three batters has to be the deadliest combo I’ve seen.

Congratulations Astros you did it for dusty and proved yourself as a hard working team

Great content as always..

Hopefully with dusty baker they can repeat this championship run. Love that guy.

I've been waiting all day for this. Thank you!

You know, I remember when I was a little boy, whenever we talking about sports on the school yard, we’d laughingly refer to the Astros as the Lastros. I remember going into Minute Made Stadium time and time again, and I don’t think I ever saw us win a *single* game. We were not a premier team, to say the least. These last 5 years have been, honestly I don’t think there’s words for it. But its been a joy. When I have kids, they’ll probably hear about Yordan Alvarez and that 3 run homer before they ever hear about anyone or anything else.

😂😂😂😂 don't think I didn't hear that kung fu panda music in the background, great video 👍

I dreamed one day to be at a World Series that dream became a reality yesterday night. Watching my beloved Houston Astros been champions was the best experience of my life. Baseball may not be the most popular sport neither the one that is played the most… but it’s the KING of sport! Let’s do it again next season. Let’s Go!!!’

There was only one way I would ever respect them again, if they could win it all without cheating, they did so, congrats to them.

This Astros ring really hurts the Dodgers fans because they used to say "at least our 60 game season ring is worth more than the ring those cheaters got in 2017". Now the Astros fans can say that they got a ring that is worth way more than the Dodgers 2020 ring.

This was a very good world series to watch if you are just a basebsall fan. My takeaway is how it again shows that dominant pitching usually beats good hitting. The Astros are a very good team. I have to throw out the earlier era and the 2017 team with cheating not seen since the 1919 Black Sox scandal. It was surprising how it was so widespread and like Shoeless Joe Jackson there were plenty of players who knew it was wrong but also did not want to become whistle blowers. I actually did not realize until just recently when reading the Keith Hernandez book where he concentrates on how difficult it was early in his career how much a difference it makes at the major league level to have the next pitch tipped off. Congratulations to the Astros!. This is a winning team Houston can celebrate.

The bangs were tracked. 1 bang vs Boston in Game 1 of the DS. That's it. But Game 5 of the 2017 WS, the Astros caught the Dodgers in the replay room and had them removed.

With all the scandals and losing in the World Series and being the most hated team in baseball they prove that they don’t need trash cans and Carlos Correa to win a championship

The Astros and Warriors chips this year were very similar in ways, not only the way the series went (both won 3 straight after being down 2-1) but in terms of significance for each franchise too. Both had titles that a lot of people didn’t respect, both went out & won more meaningful ones, silencing a lot of haters

That last part is why the Astros should hire Luhnow back because all of the development was done through his hands. And you can say whatever you want about the scandals of 2017, It is undoubtedly settled that Luhnow was and still could be the best GM in baseball history.

Congratulations, Houston! I'm just hoping & praying that Chaim Bloom can do the same in terms of acquiring young talent for the Red Sox. Can't wait for April! Thanks again, iTalk!!! ⚾️💪💯

I respect you for telling it like it is. I'm an Astros fan and I do not look at the 2017 WS as a legit one. So much hinged on their success this year because we needed that first legit WS win. Now we have something to hang our hats on and even if you hate the Astros you can't take that one away from them. 2017 happened and it will never un-happen, but so did 2022. :)

Well done. Let the haters keep hating. The Astros will keep winning.

that’s crazy i didn’t know jose abreau pitched for the astros

Another good video. LETS GO ASTROS 🧡💙🚂

As a dodgers fan, this hurts. The astros won a real championship before us. Congrats

Man I was right next Minute Maid park earlier today for a concert in Houston, it was crazy seeing it empty after yesterday

this video is fantastic

Been watching this channel for a loooong time and thanks for this gem 💎 of a video

As an Astros fan, it feels so good that people finally can admit how good the Astros really are.

You didn’t mention Michael Brantley the professional hitter he was down the entire postseason and a chunk of the reg season! Smoothest swing of all time!

10:23 “Combined with Cristian Javier, Jose Abreu” wow never knew Jose Abreu went to the Astros and started a new career in pitching

First of all, congrats to the Astros. Especially Dusty Baker. Here’s my take: The only team who could put a good fight in the AL postseason were Mariners and at lesser extent, Guardians. I would imagine had Cleveland play their “disgusting brand of baseball” against persistent Houston bullpen, it might go to at least 6/7 games. One luck factor the Astros had was facing a rather defeatist Yankees. Since August the Bronx struggled so much to the point I predicted Houston to sweep Bronx should they met in ALCS again. And just as I predicted, the Astros swept them.

I think what bothers most Astros fans... is the the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox and many other teams have acknowledged cheating that year too. It was just the Astros were "punished" and the other teams and fans act all high and mighty with their "morals." This a great piece, but you really should acknowledge that not just the Astros cheated but it was every where in the league.

Astros 2017-2022 dynasty 6 consecutive ALCS 5 Division titles 4 World Series appearances 2 World Series Championships

As a Phillies fan its unfortunate that they didn't win but I'm happy for dusty baker he deserved a ring.

Houston Astros are going to be the New England Patriots of MLB. Got caught cheating and still won after it all, helping to legitimatize championships.

As an Astros fan, I'm not satisfied, this sounds selfish, but I want more, more NATIONAL LEAGUE BLOOD

I was watching the 2022 world series in a sports bar with my dad (Born in Houston) and when we saw tucker catch us the home series we celebrated so hard we got confused and annoyed looks from all over the restaurant 😂 needless to say we were very happy that our home team finally won a world series.

I typically consider 3 championships to be a Dynasty but I suppose 2 in a 5 year span is essentially a dynasty. Either way, Astros are so well run and I am happy for Dusty.

Wow! What an organization. I think we can say they've redeemed themselves. Congrats to Dusty and that entire team.
