Series Thread: AL West will be decided this weekend

[Bmurph]

Lewis vs that lineup at home in that ballpark, better score more than one tomorrow

 

[Justinkm83]

There's always tomorrow, but we definitely let a winnable game slip through the cracks today. I got the impression too many of them were trying to hit the ball out of the park against Weaver instead of driving it.

 

[RevSader]

lol @ blaming the umps.

Rangers fucked up cause now Lewis has to pitch. Oh well.

Complaining about the lefty strike is valid. It's not a strike yet is routinely called one, because umps are terrible human beings.

I blame the 8 guys not named choo tonight. What the fuck dudes...had so many chances to score runs on Weaver and he embarrassed you.

I've talked a lot of crap about Choo but without his 2nd half we are not in this spot right now. Made a great play in right tonight too.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

We even had Diekman available, right?

 

[ESPN Refugee]

Most managers send the closer out in a tie ballgame for the top of the ninth thinking they shut them down and they get a walk off run in the bottom half of the inning. I would just prefer the match up of Dyson against Tout, but the result may have been similar

I didn't have a problem Tolleson coming out but given it was 4 straight days and Dyson was just dealing.

Shoo got the home cookin' calls last night......even steven

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Dyson is always dealing. He should be the closer.

I figured that would be the call Jeff went with, I just thought Trout would have a tougher time hitting the ball in the air, or out of the ball park vs that sinker that is like hitting a bowling ball.

 

[Nightcrawler]

We weren't gonna get much help from the snakes tonight anyway with keuchel on the mound. This thing probably ends tomorrow with a Rangers win or an Astros loss I'm thinking. Our lineup can't do any worse than it did tonight, the whole team looked like they were hung over ( except Perez, Dyson, and choo).

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

I think they just wanted to get it over with and were trying too hard. It looked like they were swinging for the fences a lot.

They gotta forget about it and come out strong vs Santiago.

 

[Bmurph]

hope to see the best lineup out there for the day game tomorrow

 

[ESPN Refugee]

They gotta forget about it and come out strong vs Santiago.

They need to break out the way the Blue Jays did to clinch the East. Granted it was against Baltimore who wasn't playing for anything but they need to come out with fury and jump on them.

 

[TheRangerDude]

I blame myself for being overconfident

 

[DT LUNA]

Banny is on the hot seat for pitching Sam and Tolley four days straight. Appeared a little testy

Nah. It's been a few mins now so the adrenaline is going down but I'll give some credit to the Angels too. They're fighting for their playoff lives and know they have to win games.

They had some really well hit and hard hit balls as well that just didn't go their way or it just wasn't enough.

I have never had any issues with Stub Hub, I don't think you will have a problem at all buying them now.
