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

[WastinSomeTime]

How stupid can you be. The league should have no say so in this. The home team should be able to determine what is to their advantage.

The Globe will be rocking when the Rangers take the field tomorrow
A flood of emotion from the Ranger faithful who have waited so long for the Rangers to be relevant

Keep the magic flowing please

Yeah I will be nervous. Want to get this one bad. Hope Nate is up for the task

Tomorrow we bury them. 8-3 Rangers. Eovaldi goes 6 innings, giving up 2 runs, 8 strikeouts. Lowe, Garcia, Seager and Heim all homer. We get ready to destroy the **tros or the Twinkies.

The Diamondbacks won.

The Diamondbacks won.

The Diamondbacks sweep the Brewers. Go up 2-0 on the Dodgers. But they couldn’t beat the Astros at the end of the season.

They didn’t need to win against the Astros so they sat their best players and the Astros needed the games

Big game Eovaldi with extra rest bodes well. And Carter is fearless. Watch Garver go yard again
Love to get ahead early
And if we are up a bunch in the 9th still pitch LeClerc to close it out

From The Athletic:

When the team put right-hander Jon Gray on the injured list during the final weekend of the regular season, they knew they would lose him at least through the Division Series. But they expected Gray could return from lower forearm inflammation if they reached the ALCS, and he is on track to do just that.

The other potential addition is right-hander Max Scherzer, who continues to trend in the right direction in his recovery from a strained right teres major muscle. Scherzer threw 92 to 94 mph in a live batting practice session Friday, then went through a bullpen session Sunday that did not go particularly well because he was dealing with a stomach bug. The Rangers refrained from adding Scherzer to their roster for the Division Series because they believed he could give them only one or two innings no sooner than Game 4. By the ALCS, he could be in position to go deeper.

More from The Athletic:

Gray and Scherzer would join a rotation that already includes Jordan Montgomery and Nathan Eovaldi, who will seek to close out the Division Series against the Orioles tonight. Andrew Heaney and Dane Dunning could then serve as bulk options along with Martín Pérez, giving the Rangers greater depth and versatility in their bullpen.

 

[saddles]

Including Bradford with those guys gives us 8 starting pitchers in the ALCS, if we get there. That pretty much means you are always prepared should a starter struggle early on.

Wasn't it Winding My Watch who used to say you needed 10 starting pitchers to make it through the season? Throw in the injured deGrom and Odorizzi and that makes 10.
