Can't believe the rangers are winning right now. Snakes have dominated this game so far


Gotta score runs or it means nothing

Just gotta get back to making contact on Scherzer. He won't last. Get to the pen and rip them up. Don't swing big

How are the rangers 8-0 on the road this postseason

2 in TB
2 in Baltimore
3 in Houston

That's 7 wins?

Not sure why people would argue with you on this.

Michael Brantley has literally filled LF (at least theoretically) for us for 4 years on a pair of 2 year contracts at that salary.

While I do not see us throwing out a 4-5 year deal for a LF, I absolutely expect us to throw 2/30ish at Lf, whether to one player or combined for a platoon duo.

Our prospect OFs aren't ready yet.

That's pretty much my thought process too. We're going to give out another Abreu contract but why not 2/32 (the Brantley special)? Or why not a 1/20 prove it deal like Belli got last year? A guy in year 3 (or 4 in special cases) or arbitration is probably going to make 8-12 M. I don't think that's out of the question at all. That actually is the "budget" free agent or rental.

Instead of two Ks looking, Lowe has a double and a walk.

It's actually insane that the rangers have an unbelievably bad bullpen during the regular season and then they turn into 2022 Astros postseason bullpen this postseason

It's amazing how differently teams are playing at home. Philly losing 2 straight in games 6/7, our 1-5 postseason record, Rangers essentially losing 2 at home if it weren't for an idiotic pitch to Seager, and now AZ looking like the A's at home.

You gotta give it to him...Bochy is managing that BP masterfully.

He's not letting them face guys too often, avoiding the 3 hitter rule by pitching changes with 2 outs, and pitching his B team in the right spots.

Feels the same way as we did at home. It will take 7 runs to get 3. Maybe we'll bat through the order to scrap together 3 runs and tie it

What are you asking? Has a team closed out a series at home or has a team with home field advantage won a series?

Always looks good when the guys come in and execute. It could quickly start to look like game two if you make a change and a guy doesn't have it.

Garcia just grabbed his back. He's been swinging out of his shoes for 4.5 games. I wonder if he's pulled something
