There should be a rule where Lowe can't pitch after the 8th inning, period.

I see Long Ball came in and didn't throw a strike until the last one to Zobrist.

That looked awful familiar.

For once I'm on the same page with you on Lowe. He looked awful.

Unfortunately our two best setup pitchers were unavailable tonight and Maddon could match up pitchers all night. Of course everything he threw out there was filthy.

Tell me where I'm wrong...

Wrong about Wash being the worst in-game manager in baseball, 100%. There's a reason he's won back to back AL championships and currently has the best record in the AL. This whole "the team wins in spite of him" shit is stupid. Just because you or me don't agree with his moves doesn't mean he's wrong. The man clearly knows how to win games and hindsight is always 20/20.

Bullshit. This team wins because of the talent JD brings in. Tell me how I'm wrong on Tonight. His in game ineptitude has contributed to two WS losses. You cannot honestly tell me you don't see the head scratching decisions he makes on a fairly regular basis. Or his poor handling of MY.

Well, at least one thing is for certain... If the Rangers ever need to lose a game in the bottom of the 11th inning..via the longball.... Lowe is the guy to turn to.

Yeah. He does have a track record after all. :D

And honestly, the players will tell you differently. They love playing for the guy and it shows.
Could be worse....could be the red sox....angels....Phillies....

Once again, another poster has failed to address the obviously poor in game management decisions of Ron Washington. There's more to being a manager than just keeping the players happy. With the talent JD has brought in any one of us (almost) ought to be able to win with this team. He has been grossly outclassed in back to back WS. If by some stretch he wins it all this year I'll gladly eat crow.

You're right...if he keeps making his mind boggling moves we might end up as the #2 seed. I say we cut his head off.

I sense an injury cropping up somewhere in the pitching staff and Tanner Scheppers being made post season eligible with Lowe losing his spot if he had one.

Unfortunately .. it is one post season too late.

Like I said. With the talent JD brings in a trained monkey could win with this team.

That WS wasn't all on Lowe.

Classic Mark Lowe. The only difference is that he didn't strike the first two batters out before giving up the signature meatball pitch.
