If the Braves make it, and the Rangers take care of business, then there will be a reunion with Wash awaiting them in the Series
And Wash can see Bochy sub Jankowski for Garcia in right field after Adolis' last at bat and be confused about why he's doing that.
BTW - did we ask the Oxys if it was ok to celebrate after last night's game? Wouldn't want to be presumptuous and celebrate when they think we shouldn't.
Based off the clubhouse videos, Max may be a bit foggy today.
Really hoping for a game 5 because that would force both the Astros and Twinkies to use Verlander / Lopez.
Got my code not too long after posting. Tickets secured.

He's getting paid $40M+ this season, he can get his ass out of bed and throw some pitches
That would be ideal. But wouldn't Smoltz say that's not fair if they have to use up their top startersGrapesoda2525 said:

I second, 3rd and 4th that. Would love for it Togo 18 innings as well
Hopefully smoltz isn't qualified to do the ALCS. They should have better announcers available by then.KT 90 said:That would be ideal. But wouldn't Smoltz say that's not fair if they have to use up their top startersGrapesoda2525 said:

It's starting to look like the Phillies might make the World Series again. Would we have home field advantage over the Phillies if we made it? Our records are the same.
Is it not the All-Star result anymore?Grapesoda2525 said:

If it's H2H it'd be Texas since we swept them the first 3 games of the season,
We also have a better home record so I can't think of a tie breaker that would award them home field. The all star game doesn't mean squat anymore.gigem1223 said:Grapesoda2525 said:

We're in good hands folks. Very interesting story here.Quote:
From Ken Rosenthal:
Sometime after the seventh inning, right around when Nathan Eovaldi took his curtain call, Chris Young's wife, Liz, turned to him and said, "I guess Christmas Eve was worthwhile."
Liz remembered. Her husband, the Texas Rangers' general manager, should have been enjoying the holiday with his family. Instead, he was negotiating a two-year, $34 million free-agent contract for Eovaldi with the pitcher's agent, Seth Levinson.
"She was a little mad at me," Young said with a smile Tuesday night, in the afterglow of a 7-1 Rangers victory that completed a three-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Division Series.
Nearly 10 months later, Levinson also had a vivid recollection of his back-and-forth with Young, whom practically everyone in the industry calls "CY."
"CY and I were just doing our jobs, except this time, the negotiations went until 11:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve," Levinson said. "CY's Zoom call (with Eovaldi) a week earlier was so impressive that Nate had to be a Ranger, and I wasn't accepting no for an answer. As it turns out, Nate is an especially good Christmas gift for everyone."
Seriously? The division winners are at a disadvantage? Stop making excuses and don’t get run over by the @Rangers train! #shegone @MikeBacsik @JaredSandler @Dutch_Oven45 @drofdefense @Sullivan_Ranger @reclinernerd @1053thefan @NewbergReport @newyscruggs @MLBNetwork pic.twitter.com/e1SDO4bbHz

Pretty sure it changed back to best overall record last season.

It changed to the team with the best regular season record in 2017.
Ridiculous hypothetical:
Let's say that some miraculous technology existed that would allow an unlimited number of fans to comfortably attend the next playoff game in Arlington. Everything about the experience is exactly the same from the seating, traffic, parking, and lines, but somehow could have unlimited attendance (just go with it). And assume it's not a novel concept.
If the Rangers offered free admission to anyone that showed up under this stupid premise, how many people would go to the game? Assume your seats would be good, but not a luxury experience. DFW has about 8 million people. Would 1 in 25 want to go (320,000)? More or less, in your opinion?

Athletic says these tiebreakers apply to World Series as well:
Head-to-head record
Intradivision record (records within their division)
Interdivision record (record against teams outside of their division)
Last half of intraleague games
Last half of intraleague games plus one (outcome of the last game of the first half of intraleague games); this one would be repeated until the tie is resolved.
Also no ghost runners in playoffs thankfully.

Well the Twinkies are sucking. Need to get it together and force Game 5
Twins are asleep at the wheel. Bring on the Disastros.
Looks like we would have home field then by head to head. Obviously gotta deal with ALCS opponent first before any of this matters tho.cmiller00 said:

This game has me a Twins fan, at least for this game
I'm down in enemy territory at the moment. In the woodlands
Not a strike.
Not even close to a strike

The only enemy of the Woodlands is historical buildings.
Twins got hosed on that call.

I didn't think so either. Looked inside but I thought it was close. Gotta pull the trigger there, I think.

Maldonado knew it wasn't a strike. So did everybody except the umpire.

Maybe not. Watching on my phone so a little hard to tell.
