Be nice if the Astros can hang on and take this game to even it up.
We need at least one Series to go the distance. |

In the Phillies and Diamondbacks series, so far no wins for the visitors. I'm hoping the Phillies can change that in game 4. |
Two very good series. Good baseball, for those who can get past their team not making it.

Especially enjoying the Texas/Houston Series |
Rangers are 2 innings away from salvaging a win at home and going up 3-2.
|
I know they do it to eliminate travel, but I'm not a fan of the 2-3-2 format in 7 game series. I don't think the team with home field advantage should ever be in a situation where they've played more games on the road than at home.

Rangers got their first 2 runners on base in the 9th for the top of their order but couldn't score. Great game to send the Astros home up 2-2. Still no wins for the home team in the series.
|
What a job by Pressly, 1st & 2nd no outs in the 8th AND 9th and gets out of it both times with no runs.
|
Altuve cementing his road to the Hall of Fame!

puts it in the F#$%ing pool!!!!!!!!!!
wow |
What a game.

2 tremendous games
|
Yes, but for me, 16 pitchers in one game is just too many. I don't love this new model.

...and no "if", first ballot no brainer. To do what he has done at his size in this day and age, just incredible...and pretty sure only he and Bregman have been there for all 7 of their runs. Pedro Martinez, and he's never wrong, said greatest 2nd baseman of All Time......not sure if that is true, but still only 33, and no signs of slowing down. So very well could be when all is said and done. |

I'm not sure what the Phillies do after last night's bullpen implosion. They need Wheeler to give them a lot of good innings in game 5 because most of their relievers have now pitched in 2 straight games and almost never have gone 3 in a row. There's no way they can use Kimbrel, and of the others, I'm not sure who I really would want to see in a game anyway. That's what happens when you pull your starter in the third inning even though he's pitching ok. The offense needs to bail out the pitching for the rest of the series which won't be easy since the Diamondbacks top 2 starters are going in games 5 and 6.

Wheeler has been a phenomenal pitcher this post seasons 34 strikeouts in 26 innings and only 2 walks.

Who will the Rangers throw at if they are down big late?

"The baseball playoffs are the most challenging to make among the four major pro sports, simply because the fewest number of teams get in—only 10 in total. Hence, there were 70 postseason series and two wild-card games from 2003 through 2012. Amazingly, the team with home-field advantage won only 37 of those matchups, which translates to 51 percent overall. Basically, home field holds no advantage in baseball." ......but yah to happen in 6, maybe all 7 games pretty odd/flukey. edit to add: Football postseason (not counting neutral site SB) is 59% Home Team wins Hockey postseason 59% Basketball posteason 67% |

So, Garcia hits a bomb and like so many other players watch it as they approach first base.
Then he gets plunked in the ribs his next at bat. Then he hits a grand slam to put game six out of reach. Got to love the sweet revenge. I only hope Garcia hits 4 home runs in game 7. Now I ask, is what Garcia did strolling down to first base any different than what Hector Neris did to Julio Rodriguez during the season. It just seems the pitchers now a days can dish it out but can't take it. My dream for game 7 is for Garcia to it a bomb off Neris in the 8th or 9th innings for the game winner........a walk off would have been nice but they are in Houston. |
Man, I really hope we don't end up with a Houston Phillies rematch.
|
The Phillies can't possibly choke this Series away can they?
I'm all for Game 7's so don't mind if they lose today, but who the hell are they pitching tomorrow if they don't come back in this game? |
Let's go Diamondbacks! If there is a game 7 it might be bullpens on both sides...
