Wow what a crazy ass ending!
Damn, nice catch by the Braves to end game 2
Harper's a ****ing idiot!
Double Talkin' Jive...
Yeah not sure what he was thinking. I can see taking a few steps around 2nd and being ready to head back to 1st. But damn was he already to 3rd when the CF caught it?
He wasn't to third yet but he was running full speed and had to go back. Throw barely got there but it got there.
Let's say you go stand on 2nd and the ball falls. Harper has enough speed he can probably race home but at least you have runners at 2nd and third with one out.

That pitch from Miller (LAD) was nasty.
He also went to a real barber and got a real man's shave with a straight edge.
Dodger SP got out of the 1st.

Orioles haven't been swept all year right? Wouldn't be surprised if they picked up a win tomorrow. Win tomorrow and you are the hottest team in all of baseball by winning 5 in a row and sweeping a 100+ win team that has not been swept all year. It's a big ask boys.

So I guess this is what Fox is going to run with tomorrow, can't wait to hear all about it

Too bad Tampa didn't have 100Ws, as well.
Sweeping a 101W and 99W team in the playoffs has to be off-the-charts.
I think Baltimore rolls over tomorrow. Tits up.

Crowd should be juiced tomorrow. Hopefully the young bucks on the orioles get rattled.

I hope. Don't want the #1 seed to be given any life support. Need to pull the plug tomorrow at home and wait for the Twins/Trash.
That Riley play was this generation's Derek Jeter flip play.

I thought it was a Damn Yankees reference.

That would be, "Can you take me high enough?"

I just don't think he thought there was anyway that was gonna be caught. That ball came screaming off the bat and Harris got an amazing jump.

Yeah, I know that, and sadly, I doubt any of those guys know who Ted Nugent is.

Would love for it to happen and the Astros series go to 5. Then we get to do the whole rust vs rest thing all over again haha.
EC has played in 23 Regular season games.
9 Home
14 Away
He has played in 4 Postseason games
0 Home
4 Away
EC has played 9 Home and 18 Away games... and his stats at Home are actually better than Road.
Does he even have a place to stay in the Metroplex?

D Backs match the Rangers 4-0 start on the road.
We did it 1st.
It's not out of the question to start thinking about getting revenge on them for not showing up at all for the 3 game series with Houston while giving us Gallen twice in 2 separate 2 game series.shack009 said:

Turds
I think I'm ok with how it has turned out for us.
Good morning and happy gameday!
Arlington will welcome the Rangers with arms wide open today as they go out to try and sweep the top seeded O's. Eovaldi on the mound in a big one, let's get it done boys!

I'll be in Texas Live! about 5 this afternoon if anyone wants to meet up. I'll be the guy in a blue Rangers t-shirt and hat.

Before I realized that the Astros thread was a toxic place that didn't really tolerate actual baseball discussion from people who root for anybody else, I would venture over there to see what they were saying about Texas. Of course they were upset with their starting pitching and manager, but the narrative about Texas was that Houston merely had to play better, and would win the division easily. They seemed to ignore an even bigger problem - which is the same thing the national media has done - the Rangers are actually good. Very good.
And this was before adding Scherzer, Montgomery, and Chapman. With even an average pen and a healthy lineup, this would have been a 105 win team.
With the bullpen now approaching mediocrity, and the lineup in tact, the absence of a true ace is really the only other weakness.
It's baseball. The playoffs are quirky. But if you put pinstripes or Dodger blue on this team, they'd be as favored as anybody. How many teams can do damage 1 through 9, AND never need a defensive replacement?

Between the WC and ALDS, barstool suggested Eovaldi was the best P in the Postseason:

MLB has his power ranking at #9. Guess we'll see tonight.

Nice to talk about a Rangers game in October for a change.
If the bullpen had converted saves at the average MLB rate we would have won 109 games in the regular season.94chem said:DallasAg 94 said:

The defense this team plays makes a significant difference. IMO

Made Jung and Heim's time away that much more impactful. It wasn't just their bats we were missing. And no one frames pitches better than Heim.

Enjoy, and have a good time. I'll hoist one from 3.5 hours away
Maybe if we advance and get a weekend home game I'll make it to a playoff game. Otherwise will just be watching.
When fully healthy, this teams defense is significantly above average, and saves it a couple of runs each game.investorAg83 said:Jimtim1216 said:

I'm back on the beat this evening, so I'll miss most of the game tonight. Will check in when I can.
