Texas Rangers

[JustChip]

Was the 1st Base Ump checking Heaney for a foreign substance when he came off after the 5th?

 

[RonWashington]

As Heany came off the field the ump had him take off his glove his hat what’s that all about . Gaylord Perry not pitching tonight .

 

[JustChip]

The Texas bullpen, where leads go to die.

They’ve actually been very good save the ALCS game 5 fiasco. And WS game 2, but that was really lost by the starter.

That reminds me - when was the last knuckleball pitcher? There were quite a few in the 70s & 80s.

Score: 10-0, Rangers

Smoltz: Arizona has 'em right where they want 'em.

They had Phil Niekro check his hat & glove at the door a few times

They have, but the memory of those meltdowns towards the end of the regular season lingers.

 

[Mannix]

Looking like a championship coming to DFW

Shhhhhhh....just remember the announced parade route for the 2006 Mavericks after game 2.

Strange move bringing in Leclerc with only 1 out left to get.

Yeah. I don’t understand that and Will Smith certainly wasn’t happy, not that it matters. Only reason I can see is to LeClerc struggles with time off.

3-1 Rangers

 

[Londonboy]

Got nervy, but 3 down 1 more to go.

Wakefield or ra Dickey

Wasn’t Tanana a knuckler after he blew out his elbow? Or did he just change from a fireball to throwing curves and iff-speed.

 

[AyeAtey]

Go Rangers!

Throughout the season it is now standard practice for umps to inspect pitchers at the end of various innings. There need not be anything suspicious. It is standard and quite common.

I've lost track of the things Bruce Bochy does that I don't understand, or that even annoy or anger me.

But his record--esp. in the playoffs...speaks for itself.

 

[RonWashington]

Well after a “ thin “ playoff rotation the Rangers have Eovaldi and if need be Mongtimery . Could not have 2 better arms to finish off the DBacks coming up .
