Under his guidance last season, the Astros made it to the World Series before losing to the Braves in six games.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI have thought about [winning the World Series] a lot,\u201d Baker said. \u201cI tried to have faith and perseverance and knowing with the right team and right personnel you knew this was going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad this happened years ago, I might not even be here. So maybe it wasn\u2019t supposed to happen so that I could hopefully influence a few young men\u2019s lives and their families and a number of people in the country through showing what perseverance and character can do for you in the long run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Astros rolled to the AL West title this season, winning 106 games, before starting the postseason 7-0 with ALDS and ALCS sweeps of the Mariners and Yankees, respectively. The Phillies, however, jumped ahead 2-1 in the World Series, before the Astros closed it out with three straight victories.<\/p>\n<p>Baker said the Astros were motivated by the controversy surrounding the 2017 World Series title, amid the sign stealing, and World Series losses to the Nationals and Braves in 2019 and 2021 respectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s what drove this team,\u201d Baker said. \u201cThat\u2019s what motivated them. The boos and the jeers that we got all over the country, it bothered these guys, but it also motivated them at the same time. And it wasn\u2019t an \u2018us against the world\u2019 thing. It was more of a \u2018come together even closer\u2019 type thing. And what happened before, it doesn\u2019t ever pass over completely. But we have turned the page and hopefully we\u2019ll continue this run.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HOUSTON \u2014 The Astros\u2019 manager stood on the stage where the World Series trophy was presented late Saturday night and channeled his inner Jimmy Johnson. \u201cHow about those<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1727932,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1727928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1727928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1727928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1727928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1727932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1727928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1727928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1727928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
