Wow. That error came back to bite us in the butt.

Yep.....but ya can't win em all.......And we played a poor game overall.

Lets get another one tomorrow and life will be good again.

Yep. Between Holland's atrocious pitching and that error, we absolutely gave them this game.

Guys, we did everything we could to hand this game to them and we still made it interesting. The bats are still alive. Flush this one and try again tomorrow.

 

[MajorCharlesRane]

Yeah, most of the time, 7 runs should be enough to win. The Rangers are still in a good position.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I'm expecting Seattle to win either tonight or tomorrow. Both days will be good tho.

 

[TxHeat]

I think 2 of 3 would just about get it done

hopefully we get that tomorrow.

No matter what, we're leaving with a 3 game lead in the loss column. And they've gotta go on the road. We better worry a bit about the Angels.

I never thought Houston would still be in it this long.

 

[RevSader]

Well that was not a fun score to wake up and see...I am okay with losing a game sometimes, but 9-7 and giving up 6 homers...no thanks.

 

[Kelleyman]

Part of what we have going here are post season auditions and specific roles being carved out. Cheech took a step backwards as a reliever IMO. The youth,inexperience and nerves are showing itself which as a whole has been an advantage for the Rangers especially with our winning pieces in the pen. Ohlendorf and Faulkner have showed themselves well. We have to clinch first of course but assessment is ongoing

 

[Bmurph]

Perez is going to have to pitch well, to keep us in this one more than likely. Should be a big test for him tomorrow

I can't believe the catch Trout just made. Very Griffey like. Anybody that says he's not a great OFer is just wrong.

Is the tie breaker still head to head, or did they change it to a 1 game playoff? If it still head to head then we really have a bigger advantage.

Would be a one game playoff, but we'd play it at home.

Yeah he is a phenom. Amazing catch and now Cron has tied it. Angels are playing better. If their pitching holds up they could be a tough out in the playoffs

Sure would like to be all clinched up before LAA comes to Arlington

Im not sure they Angels will lose another game before they come to Texas, I sure hope they lose tonight and tomorrow and hopefully 1 in Oakland. Thats very doubtful however

We'll almost certainly have to win one to clinch.

Weaver pitches against Iwakuma. This may be tough for Halos to beat him. Cano looks gimpy though. Could barely make it down the line tonight

 

[Kelleyman]

If we can get Dutch and Perez pitching well, we will tough to beat

Weaver has stunk most of the year but watch him get the W in that one
