The way people imagine Texas and how it actually is pretty broad these days.

Can someone explain that play at first; looks like home plate ump overruled that play. 1st base ump half heartedly signaled fair ball but didn't call batter/runner out as first baseman snagged the ball then stepped on the bag.

The baserunner returned to first after the play. so I'm thinking some kind of interference, dead ball, no runner can advance nor score?

Didn't hear clearly if announcers got it figured out or got the official ruling.

Pretty shocking to wake up and see the final score this am…only 2nd time in history the road team has won every game in a series…here’s hoping they do something they have never done in the WS

The one that would be eating ____ would be MLB as nobody but the loser fan bases of two POS teams would care about the World Series.

Ratings cancer.
You must be a Yankees or Red Sox fan. Maybe the Dodgers.

The Rangers finally got smart and hired a very good manager. Jerry still thinks he can get by with puppets and doing things his way.

are you not entertained???
It’s very nice to see a local team over-achieve instead of the opposite. I know nothing about the Phillies or D’backs, but I have the utmost confidence in this Rangers team.

I never heard an explanation either. The broadcasters said several times after that the call was wrong, but that doesn’t mean anything. It clearly didn’t hit in the batters box which would make it no play. I always though the ball was foul once it hit foul but can’t remember ever seeing a ball spin back fair.

Most people form they’re opinions based on what they see on TV. The 1st time I went to NYC back in the 70’s, the cabbie that took me wanted to know where my hat and boots were because he thought we were all McClouds.

Later, in the 90’s, we took a cruise of the Aegean with a stop in Turkey. The cabbie there wanted to know how many oil wells I had because Dallas was a BIG show on tv there then.

Rangers 3 trips to the World Series.

Mavericks 3 trips to the NBA finals.

Stars 3 trips to the Stanley Cup finals.

....since the Cowboys won a divisional round playoff game.

The Cowboys are the local embarrassment.

After Abreu drills 2 Rangers Chapman got a pound of flesh . McCormick could barely walk to first . A Texas Vs Filthy WS has serious NFC East vibe to it. Truth be told love to see the Phillies eliminated .

Texas has more black people than any other state, way more than California and way more than New York. Texas is one of the most diverse states in the US. There are more black folks in DFW than Los Angeles (metro area) also more in Houston than LA.
