ALDS Pennants?

Hello. As the Astros made it to the ALCS for seven consecutive seasons (2017-2023) and eight overall (including 2005 in the NLCS), do we have some sort of "ALDS Pennants" and "NLDS Pennants" that how many times the Astros have won the Division Series in franchise history so I could add that up to the infobox on this article?

For example:

In the 2020 ALDS between the Astros and the AL West division winner Oakland Athletics, the Astros defeated the Athletics in four games to advance to the ALCS for the fourth consecutive season in which they lost to the Tampa Bay Rays in seven games after coming back from an 0–3 series deficit. In the 2020 season, the Astros qualified for the playoffs as the sixth seed of the league instead of being the American League West division winner for the fourth consecutive season.

So, if the Astros win the Division Series, then how can I add it up on the infobox on this article like "ALDS Pennants (7)" (and "NLDS Pennants (4)") instead of "AL West Division titles (7)" that includes ALCS losses in the 2018, 2020, and 2023 seasons? --Allen ^{(talk / ctrb)} 19:42, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There really isn't something called the "ALDS pennant".. it's just a playoff round not special on it's own case. Spanneraol (talk) 20:31, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with Spanneraol, there's nothing special about about ALDS/NLDS wins and there's no such thing as pennants for those. Echoedmyron (talk) 20:33, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1981 Division Title?

The Astros won the NL West in one of the two halves of the 1981 strike-split season, but they lost to the Dodgers in the NLDS. The winners of the four LDS series that year are recognized as division champions. The losers are not.2601:645:C683:24A0:79B2:A6:D0A7:6577 (talk) 16:25, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
