Given his short history, I thought tonight was going to be our home run party night. Starter gave up something like 22 HRs in 96 innings. I may have that wrong but it was a little shocking he was given the nod. He performed a lot better than I thought he might. Still gave up a nice bomb to Seager. Tomorrow is going to be a wild ride. And it's Halloween. 

He apparently was a totally different pitcher after they tweaked his mechanics late in the season. I think it had to do with him sliding to the first base side of the rubber.

  • 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

they just said Max said his back "locked up" on him.  that's probably not good.

max is done until game 7 anyway.

Garcia may sit tomorrow but I bet he's back for #5

If max is done done, and they want to hold gray back for a g7 start, it would be good to get max of of the roster asap for another bullpen arm. 
 

though if there’s a good chance to close it out in 5 or 6, it would be very tempting to use gray there. 
 

imagine someone like Cody Bradford starting g7.  We would hear the word aledo a few times.

Max said it was a back spasm and he'd know more in 48 hours. So probably game 6 or 7...if.....

I think just the opposite.   Treatment can calm spasms.

Yes

oh, one of the channels said "locked up" which sounded like more than just a spasm.

Unless he tweaked it by reacting to the batted ball. I was cooking in the kitchen and not paying super close attention to the play so I only saw Jung scoop the carom and fire to first.

This was on Fox 4 that was in the gangbang at his locker. Said it spasmed in the 3rd.

he might have done something when he tried to avoid the ball but the ball didn't hit his back.

That’s what I was thinking maybe.

That's what I was thinking. Seems they were related somehow, even if not directly.

Bochy said he took it off his elbow in the postgame presser

Yes, it hit his elbow and ricocheted to Jung at third and he threw the guy out. We are wondering if maybe he flinched trying to avoid getting hit and tweaked his back. For those of us Gen X’ER’s know what it’s like to get a Charley horse trying to kick the covers off, we can easily see it happen.

If the bottom of the lineup can wake the fuck up and hit the ball (plus Semien), this series is done.  If they continue to do nothing, this thing is gonna be a nail-biter that goes 7.  

Here's hoping Adolis is gonna be fine.  Cause boy oh boy we need him.

Zero confidence in Heaney.  Here’s to hoping. 
 

good chance for the announcers to get their strange wish that Christian walker get a bunch of hits.

Dbacks will start a pen lefty. 

Carter is hitting well. Wonder if Grossman gets in or not.

Heim from the right side may actually help him out.

At one point during the season Heaney was our best pitcher. He can be again.

100%

If Adolis can’t go, keep Carter at fourth and have Garver protecting Seager imo. It ain’t much but it’s all we got. 

Guess if no Garcia, grossman will start in right.  Big outfield favors jank but lefty probably means Robbie at least to start.

Albert Pujols on MLB.com seems to think there’s a good chance we’ve seen the last of Adolis in the Series.

Ugh.

Maybe so. I like Heim batting from right side of plate also.

Both HRs this postseason from right.

Def Grossman vs lefty. He pummeled lefties this season.

I’m in a mild panic right now thinking about injuries plus limited bullpen on a bullpen day. Pyrrhic victory indeed.  Me: I think a new, different kind of bowling should be "carpet bowling." It's just like regular bowling, only the lanes are carpet instead of wood. I don't know why we should do this, but my God, we've got to try something!

if adolis really has a strain it's probably season over for him.  the overwhelming majority of back strains take longer to heal than we have games left in this series.

Maybe. But winning tonight means at the absolute worst, the Rangers are getting to six games, which means Eovaldi and Montgomery will each get one more start. Win those two and you’re world champs. Drop one and you’ve got either Max Scherzer or Jon Gray to start G7.

I'd lead off Evan, Semien, Seager, Garver, Grossman, Lowe, Heim, Jung, Taveras.

Semien needs some type of change, IMO.

Just now, shadow_operative2.0 said:

Again, moving Corey down is incredibly brain-dead. 

2 to 3 isn’t that big of a deal. Historically, 3 hole is your best hitter so he fits there, especially if Adolis can’t go.

hey, somebody who understands baseball.  if it is a lefty might move jung up in front of heim and lowe down in front of Taveras. 

semien needs a change too and you aren't dropping him to 5th or 6th.

Semien

Carter

Corey

Lowe, fuck it he had good ABs tonight

Josh

6-9 flip a fucking coin

Two old guys screaming 3-hole! is so comical. 

 

C-Man has admitted he stopped following the sport for a decade, & dcar physically gets upset when the Rangers win. 

Marcus has led off for 177 consecutive games this season, we’re up 2-1 in the goddamn fucking World Series, it is truly amazing any of you actually think that should or will be fucked with.

No. Your best hitter bats second. Period. Your #1 and #2 hitters will come up to bat many more times than your #s 3 thru 5. And you want him up there with less than 2 outs because it gives the guys after him a chance to move him. You need a good hitter #3 to protect #2. Carter's not going to leadoff to let Mitch bat after Corey. Also your #9 guy can't be slow.

Scioscia of all people, a clear ‘old-school’ baseball guy, was smart enough to do this with Trout. 

thats because his 3 hole was Albert Pujols and Trout was batting leadoff before that.

If Garcia is hurt who is going to protect Seager?  If Semien could hit above the mendoza line this is a non issue.

My guess is he will move evan to 3rd and leave seager at 2nd so you'll be happy.
