Can we win a 7-game series without Tucker having an RBI?
Can we put Tucker on the bench? Not only is he a zero at the plate. He's a defensive liability right now.

Yes, but it's going to take someone other than Altuve or Yordan to get an x-base hit.iBrad said:

Tomorrow would be an excellent time for Tucker to come alive.
One shot at home. I will take it.
May the best team win.
Rangers have the advantage in the bottom 3rd of the batting lineup. The Astros have a better and more experienced playoff bullpen. We shall see.

No. You have to have him in there. He can go nuclear at anytime.Furlock Bones said:iBrad said:

Just like you couldn't bench Altuve last year when he was doing nothin until the WS.
Tucker was a big reason the team is where it is. He should play.
One last depressing post for the night...

Just flag the troll and ignore him
Hard part is the Astros can't make any sense of it either. Has been such a weird year.
I don't think it's all Crawford box related either. I do think it is somewhat in their heads now. I think Dubon was a big example of that tonight. They all are trying to come through with men on at home, and I think it's turned into pressing. One of the reasons I wasn't upset with Singleton getting a shot. He was at least going to try to stay within his game and eye.

Altuve wasn't a defensive liability last year. Tucker is. He's making terrible reads.
I hope you know this terrible performance tonight is on you…All I do is Nguyen said:
See my post right above this.
I am sorry I can't post proof but I do like to brag on my wife whenever to can
You know what needs to happen before game 7 to break the curse.

Only fitting that we trail the division the entire season only to take it at the end.
We're just doing the same thing in the playoffs.
Re-post for tomorrow.
Except their unofficial picks for tomorrow are all for the Astros
Javier is gonna deal tomorrow, and we're gonna win. LFG!
Ok - then your outfield is Brantley/Yordan, Dubon, and Chas. No thanks.Furlock Bones said:Beat40 said:No. You have to have him in there. He can go nuclear at anytime.Furlock Bones said:iBrad said:

Singleton really did have a great AB. It didn't work out but it was enough to make me wish almost anyone else had that in them.

Big Jon had a great AB. It just didn't work out. Tip your cap.
Brantley, Altuve, Alvarez, Bregman (experience) and a very good bullpen.
vs.
Deeper hitting lineup and a future HOF pitcher on the bump.
Gotta tell you, the back half of the Rangers lineup is legit. I remember how it felt when we could turn over a lineup like that. But, I am just happy to have a shot to win one and go the the WS again.

I know you're not sitting Tucker. But that is how god awful he has been. Bad enough that the organization has to question what they decide to offer him even if he throws another fit over arbitration.
yes, the Rangers are winning the bottom half / bottom third of the lineup battle
Astros getting next to nothing...and seem to be content with that

I was 14-0 in Astros playoff games until 2021 WS game 6
my record is now 15-5
Win or lose tomorrow I've enjoyed this crazy ride of a season with all of you crazy fools
Now let's go out and BTHO southern Oklahoma

Tucker reminds of Moises Alou in 1998
Alou had a great season in 98, but ran out of gas at the end of August.
had a terrible September...and continued poorly right thru the playoffs

I'm 0-3 attending this playoff run - I have a chance to go to game 7 and will stay home for the good of the team and chat with you fine folks. Tonight sucks but Monday we have a chance to win to go the World Series. Again. We are still defending champs!
I'm still angry but we have one more game to play tomorrow.
Odds don't look good but this team has the pieces in place to lock up another trip to the WS. See you dudes tomorrow!

At least Garcia got that out of his system now, instead of tomorrow.
I'm kinda glad it comes down to 1 last ALCS game tomorrow. Overcome the monkey on their backs tomorrow or don't. Any team that is 1-5 at home in the postseason has no business in the World Series anyway. Thank goodness for Friday's heroics.
Tucker needs to sit. His head is in the wrong place. I don't care what anyone says, if he flat out sprinted for that first bloop ball, he would have had it. Something is broken in him.
I'm still pissed the pulled line drive from Bog Jon wasn't 4 feet left, because that hit ties the game.
Oh well - just have to do it tomorrow. And we owe Scherzer one anyway.

Anyone on here who missed the Bagwell/Biggio era….these home games remind me of those days. 1 out bases loaded situations have to turn into runs. I remember at least one Braves series where we bases loaded, 1 out twice in the game and came out of it with zero runs. It was bizarre to watch.
First inning should've been a crooked number. That could've gotten Eovaldi pulled quick.
Still have faith it's going to happen tomorrow. Not going to be a repeat of 2019 WS.

Can we get Mattress Mack to throw put the first pitch tomorrow at least
Back to situational hitting. You can't try for the grand slam with every swing in those situations. Like Dubon's. They were pitching him way outside and he kept swinging at it. He finally connected, but he was trying to pull it. When they are throwing for that outside the strike zone strike call, go with it and hit it the other way. Slapping that over the first baseman's head probably scores 2. Wish Singleton hadn't swung at ball 4 at the end, but his was a great at bat that the pitcher just won eventually by making him swing atone outside the zone.Philip J Fry said:

Felt like they threw every single hitter outside.
Only a few of ours wanted to go with the pitch it felt like.
