GDT: 2023 World Series: (AL) Texas Rangers vs (NL) Arizona Diamondbacks

[BMOK33]

I think we need to add two more teams to the playoffs, cut the regular season by a month, and do four 7-game series in the playoffs.

They will add two more teams and I do think they maybe go to 154 and make the LDS 7 and might go 2-2-1-1-1 in the WS. I think the LCS will stay 2-3-2

 

[Ratbath]

I will concede the 5-game series is not great. 3 is fine for the WC round though

 

[EpochLink]

Arizona pitching, I was wrong about you.

Yikes.

They won’t mess with the World Series because they would need more off-days.

. If you make your pitch to

He’s streaky as all hell. Has a fairly complex swing, it’s not like a guy like Utley or Votto who is/was dangerous 365 days a year no matter the spot. If you make your pitches you can get him to K

Seager is a stud and K’s at a rate way less than league average.

If there’s one flaw with him it’s he tries to jump the first pitch too much and makes an out on ball in play (still usually hits it pretty hard when doing so), and could take more walks.

I don’t understand pulling a guy who just struck out marte and Carroll so your closer has to pitch in his thirtieth consecutive game

Match up, two big RHH coming up not taking any chances

 

[piqued]

Smoltz talking about how everything effects the psychology of the remainder of the series, meanwhile Rangers fans wouldn't feel comfortable with a 50 run lead

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

It will take the chokes of all chokes for the Rangers to lose this series.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Everything is considered a loss until it’s a win when it comes to the Rangers

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Why do they keep pitching to him?

Well prior to this game, it's because you'd be putting a man on base for the guy with 8HR and a single-postseason record 22 RBI.

 

[Terry Yake]

curious to see how the rangers blow this. no way it'll outdo 2011.... right?

 

[Hockeyholic]

Diamondbacks will win three straight to take the series imo.

 

[Dr Pepper]

(D-)Backs to the wall, it'll be interesting to see how they respond tonight.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Scoreless through 2 innings.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Just terrible by Walker.

Houdini act by Eovaldi to escape that mess.

 

[AKL]

I'd imagine Christian Walker would like to wake up from this nightmare at some point

So frustrating watching this team fail to capitalize with RISP again and again and again and again and again and again

 

[BMOK33]

Is Eovaldi auditioning to be a closer? He sure looks like one getting himself in trouble every inning and getting out of it

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Gallen looks incredible.

 

[AKL]

Found this behind the scenes video of Gallen in the dugout

 

[Filthy Dangles]

f***s Perdomo bitching about

Pretty much the whole baseball caught the plate

I think he was trying to sell his sort of walking towards first by faking that he was mad but he knew the call was good

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Houdini Eovaldi at it again.

 

[AKL]

What is that? 0/9 w RISP tonight? In an elimination game while your pitcher's throwing a no-hitter?

Yeah, pack it up, not even sure why you're playing then.

 

[Ratbath]

What’s the LOB record?
