Ooo, GarvSauce!

AZ team probably drink the kool-aid if they lose this considering all their missed opportunities

Gallen's still in?  This is bizarre to me.  I mean, you can't take him out when there's no hits.  It's the freakin World Series.  But after the second hit?  Dunno.

/ edit - and then he goes and notches a strikeout, and NOW he comes out

Meh, I don’t know. No opinion. It’s not like he looked tired or struggling. Not that I watch a lot of Zac Gallen starts, though.

Yeah, nothing more frustrating. 

[ashbury]

That was big. Only the one run. Texas may look back, same as Arizona, and say what if.

[tony&rodney]

D Backs wiggled out of that inning. 

Don't understand why Texas did not send Carter. He is fast and Thomas does not have much of an arm.

Great game.

[Parfigliano]

Dont have a dog in this fight but I would enjoy X-yankee Chapman taking an L tonight.

The work by the umpires has been really outstanding in this series.

Doesn't matter to me if he was a Yankee ... I'd love for him to take a loss because it's him

Oh well ... so much for that :) 

[tony&rodney]

Carter takes similar at bats to Julien. He lays off of pitches he doesn't think are good for hits ... and he has some swing and miss in his game too.

[tony&rodney]

Does Texas go for the six out save?

Nope. Confidence in Sborz.

 

[Parfigliano]

Did they just say the PH has 7 AB's in last 2 months?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Disaster. 

[ashbury]

Oh no!  First real fielding blunder.

[ashbury]

The picture of a young man sick at heart.

[tony&rodney]

Man, I really feel for Thomas. He has been so good in CF.

[tony&rodney]

What a year for Semien. All time leader in PA in a season, closes it out with a bomb. Just wow.

[ashbury]

Wow.  Wow wow wow.

The Rangers need WAY more media coverage for successfully buying a WS team via free agency. Yes, they also had depth and prospect development. That was the primary reason why it worked in Texas and not for the Mets. 

[Parfigliano]

Sewald channeling his inner X-Met on that HR ball.

Well, the Rangers have seen Sewald a ton from his days in Seattle and .... well, Semien is just outstanding.

True. Trades, prospects, free agents, and the waiver wire.

[Vanimal46]

The Rangers went undefeated on the road this postseason*

*given they can get 3 outs here. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Same thing happened to Torii Hunter in 2006 against Oakland, ball under the glove in a big spot, if I recall. 

[Parfigliano]

Down to Rockies, Brewers, SD, Seattle, TB with no Ring.

[tony&rodney]

That's a wrap.

Five long cold months ahead ......
