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

The Rangers just don’t have the pitching.

And they can’t score with runners on first and second and nobody out like no other team.

Leclerc is not the answer. So many holes in the bullpen. Came back to bite us

No he’s not. The fact that Bochy continually running Chapman out there is reason to me why he should not be back. When is the last time Chapman finished an inning that he started.

Small ball has been forgotten but there is still a place for it and tonight was it.

I don’t want to sound negative but when any team snatches defeat from a victory they usually don’t win a playoff series.

Yep. They swing at balls in the dirt than any team that I’ve seen in awhile. It’s like Gallo is the hitting coach.

I don’t ever want to hear ANYONE question any other poster who badmouths Bochy. 1st and 2nd, nobody out in the bottom of the 9th, and a guy up who cannot buy a hit. And the best hitter on the team is on deck. Ask any manager in baseball if they would put runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and give Corey Seager a chance to win (or at least tie) the game.

Bochy is a joke.

It feels like forever. If we lose this series and it’s looking like we will you can say it was lost at the trade deadline.

Unbelievable but true!

Spot on…Bochy has not shown he is a great manager. He won his last World Series 10 years ago. What bothers me the most is he knew before the trade deadline that his bullpen was not good enough. Can’t imagine anyone in this organization felt comfortable with the bullpen.

I get so depressed after a loss like this one

It was at this, that he realized, he fucked up.

Worst feeling since 2011. I'm just destined, like the Rangers, to suffer forever I guess. I am literally sick to my stomach.

Sick of getting let down by this team. It’s not everyone but the mgr makes too many gaffes for me

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Can a home team win a game in this thing?
Guess we'll find out on Sunday in game 6...or on Monday for a game 7.

I'm going with the latter.

Is it bochys job to trade players?

It’s not his job, but I bet he has a say.

He tells them what he thinks he needs.
