I don’t drink I usually do during Aggie, Ranger, Henderson, Carthage,( Longhorn ( rooting against), Cowboys games. Defensive mechanisms that eases the pain.

Lion7000 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Wasn’t too pretty but 1-0 is kinda nice. Hopefully the Rangers sweep like they did in 2011 against Tampa. As for Tampa kinda sad for their attendance. The new ballpark better be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 The Rangers will play Game 2 of the series today at Tropicana Field starting at 2 pm Texas time. Eovaldi will be the starter for the Rangers today......hopefully he will last longer than 3 innings today. They really need a good showing out of Eovaldi today for at least 5 innings with lots of strikes and few walks. The Rangers do have an excellent defense to get outs.

regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I think Bochy is in a position to go all out to win this game today.....IF the Rangers are tied or leading going into the 6th. Unfortunately.....I will not be here to watch it today. I just hope the Rays batters don't smoke Eovaldi early and chase him early. The Rangers really need to score some runs early today and try to get the lead. I think the bullpen is ready, but bringing in a reliever early if the Rangers bats don't wake up will be tough sledding, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 It really doesn't matter who is on the mound for the Rangers today......what really matters is how many runs can the Rangers score today to help the pitching. Today is the day for the Rangers offense to come alive and win this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) I'm pretty sure I will not be here today watching this game......I will be in Austin helping my son with the recent hailstorm that hit there last Sunday. It is what it is.......I'm still the best and most experienced player in the field.....Lol. But he's an equal partner now and does have a wealth of knowledge and 14 yrs. under his belt. Like most Millennials.....he thinks he can shortcut the system in some way and still get the desired results......instead of the tried and true method of diligence, hard work, and perseverance. Perhaps a combination of the two nowadays with the tools available via the internet. But I'm one of the few Old Schoolers left in the business.......do not shortcut the steps to success. But maybe I'm more wrong than he is right......so I give him plenty of latitude to operate the sales end. He's a smart cookie and I am very proud of him. I just wish I knew at his age what he knows......but that's the progression of knowledge available from the internet in today's world.

regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Welp......I guess I opted out of the Austin trip today in favor of Friday so I could watch the Rangers win today. I just hope I made the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bclove05 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Couple of hard hit outs in the top of the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 The Rays are getting some very lucky situations so far today......the Rangers are hitting the ball and it's just not falling in their favor so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) They need to replace Grossman at DH with Mitch Garver, Jankowski, or Duran. Grossman ain't even getting a bat on the ball in his last 8 at bats. I suspect we will see Bochy do something to change that situation.

regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Jankowski is really not a DH.....more of depth chart player and pinch-hitter. So is Duran. So that leaves Garver for DH early in the game as a replacement. I don't think we want to disrupt the outfield starters or use up a possible pinch hitter for late.

regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 So far the Rangers "look" like they should be winning this game, but the hit balls have just not gone their way. Or a good hit ends up with men left stranded and double play. Or a line shot double-off. And then just enough for the Rays to escape unscathed so far.

regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) There it goes......Adolis Garcia leads off with a 400+ home run that got out very quickly. Edited October 4, 2023 by regaleagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Another line out to the first baseman.......now a line drive base hit by Taveras to right field. The Rangers are hitting the ball hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Jung up now......they have moved him to the 8 spot in the lineup.....behind Taveras and ahead of the rookie Carter. Which I agree with. You go lefty, righty, lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) The Rangers finally get one to fall in and it's a nightmare for the Rays as Jung ends up on 3rd with an RBI. Now Carter whacks one over for a 2 run homer and it's 4-0 Texas. Edited October 4, 2023 by regaleagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Eovaldi has been holding up on the mound so far for the Rangers.......a good outing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
