  • My kid was born and I looked up to see Adolis rounding the bases on the TV in the room.  That's a good night

    Haven’t been this excited to pick up the Dallas Morning News in a long time. Add it to the collection. The last titles my teams have won.

    Man, how I wish my dad could have been here to see this. Biggest Rangers fan ever. I was on the phone with him in 2011 when we needed one more strike. I’ve never heard such a crushed, disappointed rea

No reason not to trust Boch at this point. Always something to be said for keeping guys engaged. 

That said - Robbie needs to step it up. He was a 0 in TB.

Let's put up 10 in the first 5 and make it a moot point

Hell, the baseball purists were against replay as well. It's there for the exact reason we saw last night. To keep these umps in check.

Same thing with the pitch clock. 8 (?) years ago when this started getting implemented in the minors purists bitched about how it would ‘ruin the game’; after 1 season in MLB, there’s not one person who doesn’t feel like it made the games better.

I’ll take the unpopular position of liking balls and strikes being called by a human.  Yesterday very much tested that belief though. 
 

but I do like pitch clock.  I do like banning shifts.  I do like bigger bases.  
 

don’t like auto IBB, don’t like 3 batter minimum.  Don’t like NL DH. 

still up in the air on no blocking the plate  

I like replay on the sorts of stuff it is allowed for.  Don’t like it for the sorts of stuff it isn’t.  I think theyve got a good balance right now.  Catchers are a cool mix of different talents.  Part of those talents are tied up in a human ump.  Among other reasons.  

Grossman batting 3rd gives me zero warm fuzzies, as usual. Here's hoping that feeling is wrong for once.

And that seager, adolis etc get cranking today.

I’m feeling one of those loopy curve balls right above his shoe tops, and Grossman pulls it down the line to drive in a couple, and make Boch look like a super genius.

Scherzer starting game 3 per Boch.

I happen to believe that the vertical zone shouldn’t change for batters of different height.  Width is set, upper and lower limit should be set as well.  Throw it in the box, it’s a strike whether it’s Ritchie sexton hitting or Jose altuve or willie keeler.

There are some tickets going for $35 for the game today. Kinda curious to see if there will be some in that price range if we have a game on Friday.

I'm assuming you mean if we play Fri afternoon.

And no - there is zero chance anyone is getting in the building for less than $100 gm 4.

yeah. I said if we have a game on Friday.

I guess I have to decide whether I want to spend $100+ on tickets. Or stay at home and spend $100+ on whiskey and snacks....

Or throw these in the wife’s purse.

Got it - I was thinking game 4 would be Friday not game 5. 

The reason today's tickets are cheap is because it's a Monday afternoon. Also HOU has been to the ALCS every year for awhile.

Framber is the only lefty on their roster, so Evan will be in whenever he’s done. 

I admit, I did not believe you and looked myself. That's so strange

Assuming Framber doesn’t spin a CG, this lineup actually makes sense. Evan is 1-15 against lefties, then he’s in the minute Framber is done. 

There will also be fewer balls hit to LF against Nate than there were against Monty.

The real question for today is...."Can you take me higher?"

I guess take it conservative on the basepaths with no outs, but I woulda sent Seager on the error and Grossman on the single.
