Texas Rangers World Series Thread

[black2002ls]

I think it would be interesting. Although pointless and very time consuming, to go back through the series and look at it on a pitch by pitch basis. Knowing what those blown calls, or blown pitches led to, and analyze the entire series from there. How many times did we walk the bases loaded on blown calls by the home plate umpire, or what would that out at first on the blown call really mean. Take away those runs and see what the series scores look like then.

Really inconsistent strike zone. Of course, it seems worse for Texas because they're losing, but it does seem Cards are getting the calls...

Lmao at Layne's wiki page



On October 28, 2011, Layne was the plate umpire for Game 7 of the 2011 World Series. During the game when Scott Feldman threw a clear strike 3 to Yadier Molina, Layne called the strike a ball and brought the runner from third to home plate . This Egregious call proved that Layne is an Anti-Semite.

LOL This was added

In the year 4131, Numekian scientists discovered several of Layne's manuscripts created before Game 7 of the 2011 World Series. Scientists concluded with reasonable certainty that Layne had intended two different strike zones for the two teams, leading to a Cardinals World Series victory.

I think the Rangers are going to be the most seasoned world series failures ever.

What do you call a team that loses the world series two years in a row?
























Losers.

The second-best team in baseball. Disappointing the way it ended.

any time a TX team is in the final series/game, that's the way it goes IMO

I,m sorry, maybe I should have said first-place losers?
