Texas Rangers World Series Thread

Tomorrow night can't come fast enough.

Bounce back, he had done NOTHING in any playoff game until this one , you need to check the facts ..

Washington isn't putting him anywhere near the pitching mound for a start you can just forget that nonsense

Name a pitcher in this WS that has pitched better than Holland did in that game. Sure, maybe it is a stretch starting him, but he will be out there if Game 7 comes up and harrison struggles. So what is the damn difference? He is still in there pitching.

And maybe my opinion is wrong, but you are in the WS. You aren't worried about how you can damage a pitchers psyche for next year. You are there to win, not hope you have a good pitcher next year.

I said THIS World Series. And yup, he wasn't good before that game.

I am not saying to start him, but they will have to lean on him if things go bad.

Kolby pitches tomorrow and I think he has the ability to do what he did in game 2. Jaime Garcia had a good game 2, but I dont know if he can repeat that performance again. We also didnt put in Mike Adams in the game which means he is fully 100 percent ready to go. Also Darren Oliver did a damn good job last night.

oh ok that makes sense now, thanks.

Oh did anyone else catch the commissioner on 103.3 yesterday before the game? They were talking about the blown calls and instant replay and the comish said it would take away from the game because the pitcher would have to wait, lol. Does he not realize next to golf, this is the slowest game ever? If the NFL can make it work then there is no reason the MLB cant.

I think it's a bit of a stretch, but it makes sense. It's not a slow game for the pitcher and catcher.

Garcia pitched just as well in Game 2, but Motte blew it.

He isn't a bad pitcher. He's still good enough to get the regular season wins they need to get them to the playoffs. The 3 and 2 run outings he's had have been good enough to win 3 of 5 games in this series. But he's not an ace, and he puts a lot of strain on the bullpen, and he is a douche. So I'm torn between keeping him as a #2 or #3 (maybe even #4 if Holland, Ogando, and Harrison develop like they can), or losing a couple games against him next year.

I don't disagree really, but his post season play is abysmal. I'm going to look at his final ball/strike count. Because that mother fucker couldn't hit the strike zone to save his life through the first 3-4 innings. I think the level of douchebaggery kind of ruins it for me as well.

I was referring to Rangers pitchers. But yes, hopefully we don't see a repeat from Garcia.

The douche factor has put it over the top for me. At first, I thought all those ticket drops really influenced my opinion on him. Then I watched some interviews after the game and it just solidified how much of a douche he is.

he is the perfect guy for a California team.

Just a curious question, but why you do say Kolby?

K = strikeout!

[pHILSANITY07]

Do you expect every fan to know how to spell one of the starting pitchers first name????
