Likelihood of Liriano pitching good is low

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)
I'm at home and the wife is gone. Tell me what to google.Ag_07 said:
Actually yes. You're missing a ton.
Google it. And you may get some NSFW pictures so just a warning.

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.

This is like the movie where everything was going a little too well...
Win 100+ games
MVP favorite
Verlander acquisition
And then... ALCS road meltdown.
At this point let's get it to Game 7. IF we can find a way to do that it can still happen. Just get there.

No way do you trot them out there in an elimination game. If you end season, you do it with your best players.

I will absolutely blow a gasket if peacock comes back out
At this point, we aren't winning. Pull him and save him.
Yep. Morton and Peacock tandem start for game 7.
Would be nice to have DK or JV to go game 7, but that was ruined tonight.titanmaster_race said:JABQ04 said:mazag08 said:Nuke LaLoosh said:

Needs to be McHugh instead of Morton

I'm with you bud. Hate it's gotten like this. I used to be a crawfishbox regular until it was overrun with this type of crap.

This is setting up to be a pretty epic choke job if we lose 4 in a row. From best offense to can't hit ****.

I would venture to say, I'm older than all of you. I sat in the bleachers at the .45's staduim & watched the likes of Koufax & Drysdale.
I've been through 1980, 1986 & 2095.
And, right now, I hurt real bad watching what I've seen the last 3 days.
But I'm still a fan.

We can ***** about the pitching, but the bats have completely went silent for this series. Unless we find some semblance of functional hitting, Verlander and Morton/McHugh's performances will be irrelevant.
We are not hitting pitches in the zone. Plenty of posters have crowned the Yankees starting pitchers, but I frankly haven't seen anything special from any of their starters thus far, we just look lost at the plate.

Welp fun while it lasted. Time to shift to the Rockets.
Yes. Much of the bad swings are in 2 strike counts caused by looking at good pitches in earlier counts.bullard21k said:Agmaniacmike12 said:

We are swinging at sliders that are STARTING 3 inches off the plate and end up 2 foot outside and nearly bouncing to home plate.
This team basically top to bottom has forgotten what has gotten them here...working counts and grinding out at bats. Everyone is trying to get us back in the series with one swing.
