Series Thread: World Series 2023 Thread Texas Rangers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks October 27 - November 4

[saddles]

Congratulations to the Texas Rangers and congratulations to all of us. We finally made it back to the World Series after twelve years. A lot of us were not on this board the last time the Rangers made it to the World Series. Several of us were still over at the ESPN Dallas board.

Hopefully this is the year we win it all. I like our chances. All of our pitchers will be well-rested. It looks like Eovaldi will pitch the first game with Montgomery having pitched Monday night. I imagine Montgomery starts in Game 2, and then we probably get Scherzer in Game 3. Knowing Bochy, we won't know who is going to start Game 4 until the end of Game 3. Hopefully, Sherzer's two tune up games in the ALCS will serve as a rehab stint and he will be very close to his normal self in Game 3.

Let's get this underway and win the World Series.

I would leave Gray off the WS roster. Gave up 9 runs in 9 innings to D-backs and hasn’t pitched in a while but Bochy will add him.

 

[Senator_fan]

Scherzer has to pitch more than 3 innings or it’s essentially a bullpen game.

The Rangers have a better right fielder this time.

I would leave Will Smith and Chapmen off. I would rather have Gray pitching over Chapmen.

Full Disclosure Here

Before I went to bed Saturday night, I got the Offseason Thread ready to post.

 

[Senator_fan]

Temps in mid 70’s for Arizona games and the roof may be open. I’ve been to Chase field with the roof open and there’s a chance for more homers.

 

[armadillooutlaw]

We're going to bury them in five games.
We're winning the World Series and Corey Seager's going to be WS MVP.

Scherzer has to pitch more than 3 innings or it’s essentially a bullpen game.

I wonder if we are better off just doing a BP game instead of starting Scherzer. He's not his best self yet.

I'd give him one more shot with a very short leash.

 

[DT LUNA]

I'd give him one more shot with a very short leash.

I think we have too

 

[armadillooutlaw]

I think our offense comes alive even more against Arizona.

nice sentiments. If the Rangers win the WS there will be quite a few toasts of remembrance
My late Mom worked at the Ballpark in her later years. I have a pic of her and my son there the first day it opened.

Thinking of guys like Durrett and Fraley who covered the team and Hultz. I could go on

This could be our year. Best wishes all

This WS will be like the 1992 Super Bowl between Dallas and Buffalo. Buffalo was outmatched against the Cowboys, and the real Super Bowl was between Dallas and San Francisco.

Also Hoping some of our past posters find their way back on this thread
It can be a tad antagonistic at time due to our own deep opinions but all here are dedicated Ranger fans
I welcome all back for maybe the most memorable SportsHoopla thread for us all
Thanks for sharing

Let's go! 2 teams that had lost over 100 games 2 years ago are now in the WS!

Everyone should just be impressed that Feinsand even knows who Carroll and Jung are. They play outside of New York and are therefore, by New York sports journalism definition, irrelevant.
