Hoping the top of the order can salvage something here. A little late inning magic just like the good old days would be nice here

I still don't understand how it's home field advantage when both teams winning at home every time can leave the favored team down a game.
I agree... the split should be 3-2-2 to give a true home field advantage.
Maybe it's the Jack Daniels but I'm not sure what 3-2-2 looks like? So one team gets 5 games the other gets 2? Outside of this particular scenario I don't know I'd like that

Is Jason Lane available?

I think he meant 3-3-1.
But the tried and true model is 2-2-1-1-1.
Whatever. These guys just need to pull their heads out.

3-2-2???
With all of the liberties the yankee's batters have taken on our pitching, why hasn't someone been plunked? How about Frazier?

Hinch cut the only player we've had who ever plunked a guy on purpose.
And it's three home games in three days for the underdog.
But the schedule isn't why were losing. Our players forgot how to hit a baseball.

The amount of idiocy on this thread has finally gotten to me. This kind of series is why you build teams for the long term. Its what we keep telling the Rangers faithful. You build for long term because you want to be in the playoffs over and over again. Because when you get there you just don't know what's going to happen.
**** happens. You get cold. An average team gets hot. The Marlins won two rings doing that. The best team often doesn't win. Hell, the 4th best team in the AL over 162 games looks to be the best team right now. It's just playoff ball.
I'm out. I'll watch the game on my own.
Personal meltdown aside, this is a really good post.
Pitching wins championships. Give the Yanks credit, they shut down the best offense in baseball. Hopefully Luhnow is taking notes and quits being such a puss at the trading deadline.
this is like when a dog goes deep in the bushes to die

Yes I meant 3-3-1. It limits travel which is why they moved away from 2-2-1-1-1 while still giving home field advantage to the higher seeded team.
I will absolutely blow a gasket if peacock comes back out
this feels like when we didn't get anybody before the trade deadline. just flat and god right awful
Lol we traded for cy young pitcher and lance was an all star before he went mia
This. And it's typically where you see the payroll discrepencies come into play.Wabs said:

We really bolstered the BP didn't we? May have come in handy last night.Ags #1 said:

He tried and Baltimore wanted assets we didn't want to give up like Tucker or Whitley
1-2 hitters are 2-34
Springer hasn't been the same since the Chronicle ran pictures of his girlfriend.

At this point, we aren't winning. Pull him and save him.
Josh Reddick is just lost up there

Do you actually know what happened at the deadline and afterwards?
And the Yanks went out and got Robertson. And we are where we are.Ags #1 said:

Agree.

You could say this about so many of our hitters right now.
2 for 35 for the one and two batter that is ****ing disgraceful

Yep. Morton and Peacock tandem start for game 7.

Yep. But he is just atrocious this series. Plus he just Kd so he drew my immediate attention.
Yes I do. I know we got Liriano at the deadline and haven't seen him all series because he sucks. I know we got an ace after the deadline. Anything I'm missing?Ag_07 said:Wabs said:

There he is!
Actually yes. You're missing a ton.
Google it. And you may get some NSFW pictures so just a warning.

Do we want Liriano to pitch well here? I'm scared Hinch might use him tomorrow if he does.
Most people are going to roll their eyes but I would actually consider fisher, gattis and maybin all finding their way into the lineup on Friday. With verlander on the mound if he goes out and gets shelled it won't matter anyway but I think reddick and Marwin need a day off (even though that could be the last day of the season)
