Series Thread: Texas Rangers vs. Houston Astros in the 2023 ALCS October 15-23

So glad we put the pressure back on Houston.for another night. Make them feel uncomforrable.knowing they have not won a home playoff game against us.
Key is too jump on them early tomorrow night and get a decent lead.
If we can get Semian and Seager going I feel good about tomorrow's game

Astros are going with Javier for game 7. He was very vulnerable in the regular season but we struggled against him few games back. We HAVE to get to him early so we can take the momentum.

Leaving the door open for Aroldis to pitch tomorrow doesn’t instill a lot of confidence, Jared.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

I'd go Scherzer-Monty-Heaney tomorrow if it's a close game.
Skip Chapman and LeClerc all together.

If, if, if... should Eovaldi pitch Game 1 later this week?

I would start Monty if we get to that point

My comment was, I'm good if Chapman doesn't pitch tomorrow. Lol

Bochy just said Max is starting.

I am ok with it but with a short leesh

 

[Kelleyman]

Game 7 Ranger fans
Hope Scherzer brings his AGsme and Bochy has a short leash if he does not have it
Glad he had a practice game

 

[armadillooutlaw]

Bochy just said Max is starting.

Would be huge if he came out sharp, but if he's off his game gotta pull him quickly and go with the best available pitcher we have and that's Monty.
Wouldn't be totally shocked if Eovaldi was also available for an inning out of the pen in an emergency situation.

Scherzer vs Javier game 7 tomorrow.

 

[saddles]

Carter has been on base in every game in those postseason. He is setting records.

 

[DT LUNA]

See you guys in Houston tomorrow from my recliner.

He should almost know by warmups how he will fare because his Game 3 troubles all stemmed from his slider not breaking. They knew it very early on and he battled anyway. I would think tomorrow that by no later than the end of the 1st or 2nd inning at the latest they should have a very good idea of what kind of slider he has. It’s his wipeout pitch. If he’s got the slider magic, he could have an excellent start.

Let's have a big first inning offensively tomorrow and be able to take our time to decide on Scherzer.

Let's jump on Javier early and knock him out of the game early so they have to eat through their bullpen which is already short after tonight.

If we get Bulldog Max we win tomorrow.

What a roller coaster ride!
