    Batter's eye is an excuse. You didn't see Altuve or Yordan struggling.

    This doesn’t have anything to do with managers though. We win with dusty if we could hit with runners in scoring position. Then there’s no talk of how good bouchy is

    I hate to give props to the rangers, but man.. they are on an epic playoff run. I was worried they were the team of destiny. people going to look back on this and look how unbelievable it is.

    You have to wonder. If there was no pitch clock. Would Framber have melted down? Or would he have been able to take extra time and recover? Would Luis Garcia being allowed to rock the baby saved his arm? If we were still allowed to use the shift would we have stopped some of those dink hits of the Rangers. Of course our offense was hopeless so. Who knows.

    Dusty and Maldy gone, another productive bat, and a quality starting pitcher. Don’t over pay for Tucker if he doesn’t like it, he can walk. Find another backup for Peña that has potential to take over his job. That’s the route I would go.

    Proposed rule change: The higher seed gets to choose whether to play Game 7 at home.

    The Four Corners of Texas: Corpus, La Grange, Hunsville, Beaumont.

    The rest is Mexico and Oklahoma for all I care.

    The Rangers mini shifts seemed to do a pretty damn good job this series. I'm guessing someone somewhere has looked at the numbers, but I felt like they were positioned perfectly so many times.

    Big players step up in big moments......Javy goes out and looks like he's never thrown a pitch before, France is allowed to be knocked around the park for 4 runs ( really kind of giving the game away very early)...7 runs.total .inexcusable on at least 4 of those...to just sit watch your house on fire and let it burn is beyond dumb...know what I mean Dusty ? Your 2 pitchers got 3 outs between the (Javy 1 & France 2) while giving up SEVEN runs. You are 6 runs down after 4 innings because you sat and did NOTHING. You have displayed no sense of urgency.
