Series Thread: Rangers and Orioles Battle in the ALCS in a Best of Five Matchup October 7-13

[armadillooutlaw]

Let's come home and sweep. Let's hope Eovaldi does better than Montgomery dud today.

Gonna say Eovaldi goes like 5 innings, gives up 3 runs, 6 hits and 4 strikeouts.

And hopefully that’s the last we see of Burke…

#GoAndTakeIt

If Bochy was ever going to use him that was the time.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

When offense slows down the pitching has to work harder and Montgomery struggled, Bradford held the line but Burke & Leclerc folded

Bradford did great and throw Sborz in the mix. As many times the offense has failed Monty it was nice they could help him when he struggled.

Offense did their job today. You score 11 runs in a playoff game the only way you lose is if your pitching stinks.

Well...the pitching stunk other than Bradford ( who is looking more and more like a rotation piece next season)

I'll take it. I knew the Os would give everything they got today. We survived and have 2 games at home to get it done.

Don't want to come back to Batimore. That would not go well.

Minny up 3-0 top of the 2nd

Agreed

Sborz threw 1pitch. Hard to grade that although it did get the 3rd out

One more thing...

GO TWINS!!!

That’s what I said. Their fan base is rabid and it seemed to keep the team going even though they were down 5-7 runs.

 

[scotsman1948]

I’ll say it again we need to re-sign Montgomery and Garver.

With 2 guys in scoring position it was extremely important. I didn't want the O's get 2 runs closer to us and give them and their fans hope.

Wonder what’s going on with Stratton. He hasn’t pitched since the Angels series

 

[fanman8825]

Just heard the Orioles have not been swept all year in a two plus game series. They broke the 22-24 Yankees record of 84 straight series without being swept back in September against the Angels.
That is unheard of

I was thinking about the same thing earlier. Just know was lousy in September. Have not heard anything about his status.

 

[saddles]

Should be a future member of our rotation.

I thought they might pitch Stratton but Bochy likes to go with the hot hand. Glad he went with Bradford.
Burke may now be on Bochy no confidence list
Might need JHern who has nastier stuff but obvious past issues .

 

[saddles]

Twins up 5-0 in the 5th.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Correa has put the Twins up 5-0.

Bradford may have saved us today. You should never worry about losing with 11 runs but that loud crowd seemed to keep their team focused. Only felt comfortable when we were up 9-2 but when it got to 10-5 I started getting nervous.
