Series Thread: Texas Rangers vs. Houston Astros in the 2023 ALCS October 15-23

That pitch was right down the middle
He just failed to get it done

But if you’re stuck in an awful slump where you can’t time or square up on anything, swinging at the first pitch (no matter HOW perfect) is absolutely not the way to break out of it. In fact, it’s the worst thing you can do. Any hitting coach would tell you that. See pitches. Work on timing. Get a better feel for the exact location.

Rangers are in danger of losing momentum to Houston and Verlander.

They lost momentum 2 games ago. They have no chance today or Sunday

Hitters are putting excess pressure on Monty to keep the score at 1-0

That was the middle middle
Pitch to Marcus he popped up

 

[scotsman1948]

The Rangers batters have surrendered

Thought it was a little high but your correct after seeing it again. I am just frustrated with the whole body of work from him. He is trying to hit it out every time.

Then he boots a DP transfer

 

[DT LUNA]

What else can Semien do to lose this game?

 

[scotsman1948]

Heim saves us

 

[yardimatt]

Thank you Altuve you moron.

Semien needs to get his shit together.

Monty is keeping hopes alive. The offense needs to get their heads out of their backsides.

 

[WilltheThrill]

Is Marcus Semien a secret agent or mole who has been planted to sabotage our team? Obviously joking, but he sure looks like one. The guy can’t hit or play defense. He is SO much better than this. Makes you wonder if he has some kind of personal stuff going on or he’s playing badly injured and we just don’t know about it. I’m still a big fan of his, but this is about as rock bottom as it gets for quality of play for someone of his caliber.

If they don’t try and work Verlander he could wind up going 8

Tie game. Lowe solo shot.

 

[fanman8825]

Now that’s the approach the batters need to take. Great job Lowe

 

[DT LUNA]

Just what we needed... Lowe HR. Hope his Mom saw that

 

[redskinsfan1963]

rangers just hit a hr tying the game at 1 each.

 

[yardimatt]

Heck yeah!

You know she did. And hopefully it lifted her spirits, even if for just a brief moment. Pulling so hard for that guy.
