As is every baseball player in the league. JV has a little Nolan Ryan in him I wager. Freak of nature that will power pitch late in his 30s and into his 40s. Being with Kate has a rejuvenating quality about it.

I don't worry about regression in the playoffs. Too small of a sample.

In all seriousness he has been lights out since getting to Houston. Clearly this trade was a big shot in the arm for him and he's playing at an elite level. We'll see how things go next year when the adrenaline has worn off. Regardless, the trade was worth it for this playoff run and anything else you get from him is gravy.

As for the Nolan comparison, he was a freak of nature. I don't know that we'll see another like him ever again. The man threw a 98 mph heater after suffering a career-ending elbow injury. JV can be a great pitcher without being another Nolan and the comparison probably isn't fair.

The comparisons are along the lines of their style, approach, body type, pitch repitoir, and competitiveness.

I don't think anyone is saying JV will be another Nolan Ryan.

If they are they're idiots because you're correct in there will never be another Nolan Ryan. At least I don't think so.

Obviously JV just needs to kick someones ass who charges the mound.

One more win and we equal the same amount of WS games the Ramgers have won. Only our 4th might be a...well...let's wait and see.

Yankees thought they had the mo and only needed one more win and look where it got them. I just pray Verlander has one more gem in him and Kate has withheld his motorboating privileges until he gets a ring. Talk about motivation.

I fully understand the jinx implications here, folks. Which is why I was strictly talking about overall WS wins.

Stros have 3 while Ramgers have 4.

If I recall correctly from when we lost, statistically y'all are going to want to win it tonight. I think the away team winning game seven after losing game six has been on the wrong side of history.

I saw something that had road teams up 3-2 winning the WS 66.1 percent of the time since 1985, but home teams are 14-2 in game 7

Completely agree.

Tonight is a must win, especially with JV on the mound.
Prosperdick

Anything can happen in a game 7 but yes, tonight is a must win. Yu normally doesn't have two bad outings in a row and I just don't see our bullpen holding up in that situation (or even our starting pitching).

Have to grab it tonight.

They also won game 6 though. My recollection to what really kicked into the realm of damn near impossible was losing that game 6.

Truly don't understand this. We are in the World freaking Series. Rangers embarrassed themselves all year. Why even waste your time to come back and gloat??? Much less before the series has even finished?

I mean, there's only so much time you can spend on strictly Astros related things. It's not like anyone is neglecting the Astros thread to post trash talk

As a fan who knows what it's like to get kicked in the dick in a World Series game 6, I just wanted to poke my head in here and say that regardless of how tomorrow's game goes all you Astros fans should be extremely proud of this season. Your team has shown an incredible amount of resilience and they've been a blast to watch this postseason. This World Series is one of the best I've ever seen and is great for the game of baseball. Best of luck tomorrow to you and your livers.

whatevs... Rangers have 4 world series game wins which is tied with Astros who have only won 4 world series games
If that makes you happy, well OK. It also might explain why you are a Rangers fan.

We should have moved into the AL a long time ago.

Who knew it would be so easy in this league? Thanks Rangers and everyone else for rolling out of the way to let us play the best team in the Senior Circuit.
