Series Thread: ALDS: Texas Rangers vs. Toronto Blue Jays

[romeo212000]

Yeah rangers would be in big trouble but Jays don't have much playoff experience, price hasn't stepped up and rangers have experience and good on road. So it could be crazy.

Dropping 2 at home when up 2-0 is bad though.

I really expect them to win tomorrow, but that doesn't make me any less nervous.

 

[romeo212000]

Well, if we're gonna climb back into this thing, it's now or never.

 

[romeo212000]

Lowe owes us a meltdown.

 

[romeo212000]

The fuck were you looking for Chirinos? Swing the fuckin bat.

 

[romeo212000]

Meh, I figured we'd lose this one anyways.

are the Jays really going to throw Dickey tomorrow?.. is this real life?

2.80 ERA after the All-Star break. He'll probably be on a short leash with Price the first guy out of the pen.

I hate all teams Texas! Any sport, how can you root for Texass?

Long time Jays fan. Joe Carter is from Oklahoma City and my dad was friends with him. Been a fan ever since.

Is price not going to pitch in a potential game 5?

I don't think that dude knows what he talking about. No way they risk using him in game 4 and having to go somewhere else for game 4. I'm actually surprised he's not starting today on 3 days rest.

They trust Stroman more right now it seems. He'd probably get game 5.

Having said that, I don't like the Jays' chances with Dickey.

If today is a throw day for Price anyway (I haven't looked closely at the calendar so I honestly don't know if it is) you can just let him do that throwing in the game instead of the bullpen.

But really even if it isn't, he's still gotta be your first guy out of the pen if Dickey runs into trouble and there's a key situation. If you don't stop game 4 from getting out of hand there's no game 5 anyway.

If they truly trust Stroman more, then he should be the guy they use if Dickey puts them in a crucial situation.

True.

Looking forward to that knuckleball today.

 

[romeo212000]

No Beltre. I'm feeling worse and worse about things.

Like I said, if you don't win game 4 there ain't no game 5 to worry about. He'll be available, and they'll hope they don't have to use him and he can start game 5. But if (for instance) they get down a run or two and the bases get loaded with none out in the 3rd or 4th inning you can't let the game get away from you without even firing your best weapon.

 

[romeo212000]

Adrian Beltre in the lineup at third base. Not sure I feel good about that.
