2023 Texas Rangers

[mb227]

KC... Houston should sweep them.

Should, but won't. Dusty will screw it up...

 

[guy4321]

No kidding, but the Royals took 2 out of 3 in KC just last weekend.

KC... Houston should sweep them.

Houston should have wrapped up the West title last week - but they choked against the A's and the Royals (the two worst teams in the AL).
IMHO - if the Rangers can win 6 of the next 10, that should give them a Wild Card slot. If they can win 7 of 10, they lock up a Wild Card and have a shot at the West title. Houston doesn't have an easy visit to Arizona - the D'Backs are still playing for a Wild Card slot.

Friday, B2nd Rangers up 1-0 vs Seattle.

 

[WorsterMan]

4-0 !!!

 

[WorsterMan]

8-0 baby !!!!

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Top of 6th, Rangers up 8-0. Dunning pitching very well so far - 59 pitches, 1 hit, 2 walks, 2 Ks.
Royals up on Astros, 7-2, top of 6th. Houston has had a lot of trouble with Oakland and Kansas City lately. If both of these games hold up, Rangers will have a 1/2-game lead in the AL West over Houston.
Toronto beat Tampa, 6-2. Moves them into 1-game lead for 2nd Wild Card.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Rats! Dunnng gave up a 3-run homer. Now 8-3, Seattle still batting in top of 6th.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Dunning pooped out. Mariners scored again. Rangers batting in bottom of 6th, leading 8-4.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Bottom of 7th, still 8-4. Astros batting in bottom of 7th, still trailing KC, 7-2.

 

[WorsterMan]

Go KC!!!

 

[WorsterMan]

Going to T 8th... focus Rangers, shut "em down!

 

[WorsterMan]

BELiEVE Baby !!!

Did you see the sign in left field?

 

[WorsterMan]

Bullpen time coming up.

WHATEVER you do Bochy do not put Will Smith in there!

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Okay - on to top of the 9th, still up 8-4. Chapman on to pitch for Rangers (good move, even though it's not a save situation).
Meanwhile in Houston - Astros fighting back. 3-run homer in bottom of 8th. Now 7-5, KC, two on, two out. Time to get this last out and go on to the 9th!

 

[WorsterMan]

This team has been reenergized since Jung & Garcia came back this week plus adding Carter in the lineup!!!

 

[HornHuskerDad]

OKAY! Royals put out the fire. Now on to top of 9th, Royals leading 7-5. A couple of insurance runs would be very nice.

 

[WorsterMan]

So pleased Eovaldi back in the mix with Scherzer very sadly done for the season.

 

[WorsterMan]

Chapman in some trouble... needs to throw strikes!!!

 

[WorsterMan]

Come on Royals!!!

 

[WorsterMan]

Chapman in a jam - B9th based juiced 2 outs....

Gotta get a strikeout or ground ball!!!

 

[WorsterMan]

Whew! Ground out to first.

8-5 vicktree !!@

Royals beat the astros!!!!

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Chapman made it too exciting, giving up a run, but manages to get the last out with the bases loaded. Rangers hold on and win, 8-5. Now waiting for the results from Houston.
Astros batting in bottom of 9th. No runners on base, two outs. Tucker at bat.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Tucker strikes out to end the game. KC wins 7-5.

 

[Horn2RunAgain]

Whoa thunk the StrangerS would be in 1rst place after getting swept by the A's.

First place. Need some pitching the next couple of nights

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Texas now in 1st in AL West. 1/2-game up on Houston, 1 game on Seattle.
Pitching tomorrow for Rangers - Montgomery. Really need to keep winning. This race is going down to the last gasp.

 

[WorsterMan]

Credit Heaney for the win tonght.

Who pitches Sat.?

 

[FWHORN]

Perfect Friday in terms of AL West results it stinks that TB has already clinched so they aren’t as motivated against the Blue Jays but hopefully they step up next couple of games. Winning the opener was huge for Rangers as they must take two of three at least and getting sweep to end their home regular season would put a 1/2 foot into the playoffs. Every game is huge from here until someone clinches so Go Rangers.

 

[Horn2RunAgain]

Credit Heaney for the win tonght.

Who pitches Sat.?

Montgomery.

Heaney was nails

 

[WorsterMan]

Sat.night - an 8th...

Rangers up 2-0 !!!
