Seeing the force of the ball move through his leg is insane.

A baseball weighs 143g. Travelling at 104 mph (46 m/s), the kinetic energy is 151kg*m^2/s^2.

A .45 bullet weighs 14.9g. Travelling at 830 ft/s (252 m/s), the kinetic energy is 473 kg*m^2/s^2.

Yeah, that's gonna leave a mark. It takes a full grown man in the prime of life not to immediately crumple there.

I know we're all on the high of beating Houston to take the AL pennant, and you gotta celebrate the good moments when they happen, but man I want this World Series so bad. In my opinion it's the hardest championship to win in all of sports and you NEVER know when you're going to get this chance again. I want to finally be able to put 2011 to rest in my head.

The Rangers have lost every World Series game I've been to. So as much as I would love to be there in person, I'm gonna sit this one out and watch from home.


The Rangers have won every World Series game that I've been to, so if y'all want to start a go-fund-me for a World Series championship I'm on board.

I grew up in Arlington ,and have been a Ranger fan all my life , but the Stanley Cup is by far the hardest to win. I do want this soo bad as that will mean I have seen all my teams win a Championship.

No team has ever made the playoffs with a bullpen as bad as ours and we just made the mf World Series!!!
What's crazy is that the bullpen is looking quite strong. Yes, a few hiccups here and there, but much better than August and September!
In no particular order:
1) The return of Sborz
2) Chapman not pitching the 9th
3) Smith not pitching at all
4) Perez, Bradford, and Heaney all capable strike throwers in the pen

We kept saying during the regular season - Bochy was figuring out who he could trust

Smith and Stratton were guys he couldn't trust.

I just wanted to verify that Nellie Cruz is indeed still retired...right?

I'm laughing at Duran. Dude is a menace!
He's a better player than Josh Smith, Will Smith, Grossman, and Hedges, and just happens to not be as fast as Jankowski. I really wish he could be on the active roster.

I mentioned earlier that the Rangers are in a very unique situation, much like the 2022 Aggies. They have no need for any defensive replacements or pinch hitters. The only way to use their bench is through defensive subs following pinch runners.

I believe you are correct. I feel so bad for Nelly sometimes. Had an incredible 2011 ALCS and career with the Rangers, and we all still can't get over that one play.

It's funny how quickly Astros management leaked the story that "Dusty Baker has told several people within the organization that he plans to retire after the 2023 season". Literally right after LeClerq fell to his knees McTaggart and the other Houston media idiots were getting the news. Get ahead of any post-game press conference statements that might give Dusty a chance to survive.

I love that all the incessant whining about not playing Diaz and McCormick or Brantley went down the crapper in this series:

Diaz - 1 for 14, 0 RBI
McCormick - 5 for 17, 2 meaningless RBI in Game 4
Brantley - 1 for 17, 0 RBI

It will be hilarious if they dump Dusty and miss the playoffs next year.

It's Dusty's fault.
The umpires screwed us.
Garcia is a punk.
The Rangers are a classless organization.

15 min after 10am, and I'm still getting 45 second refresh screens.
Seems they should be all gone by now.

I imagine the story was leaked well before the end of the game and the reporters just know how to keep their mouths shut until the green light so they keep getting the info.

Every game is all singles.
Bummer, I let go of my half season tickets a few years back as we started having kids.
Need to get back on that wagon soon.

I'll be watching game 1 with beer in hand on Friday. This team has surpassed all odds and then some. Team should be loose and ready to roll.

I don't really have a preference on opponent, but part of me wants the Phillies just because it would be a big market northeast team (plus **** Philly).

Game 1 starter has to be Eovaldi, right? Can't see going with Monty after throwing 2.1 last night. Let him go game 2.

Bought game 6 tickets yesterday for my dad and I. Went to 2011 with a buddy instead of him and I think it broke him a little.

I look forward to getting to redeem myself. He's ecstatic and so am I.

Here's to hoping the ticket prices come down the afternoon of the games. Highly unlikely, but one can hope.

Also, I thought I would be productive at work today. I was wrong.

Wow. Haven't heard a peep today from my Astros friends or colleagues. And they're usually so loud. How weird.
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
