Agreed! Even when we took the last series from them 2/3, they still had final laugh with that 17-1 win in the 3rd game. We answered not just with one big win, but 3. 3 completely lopsided games where for a while the only pitcher of theirs that didn’t give up a run was a catcher coming in to pitch in a blowout. Just a complete and utter stomping throughout the entire series.. wow.
Reminded me of a film I'm directing in a little bit called Passion of the Christ 2. First they killed him, now he's back!
Final game against the Redsox at MMP was 17 -1. Final game against the Rangers was 13-5. Started with a 3-0 lead and Valdez decided to hit Semien...
It’s best not to poke the bear. Like when that guy who is now on the Rockets decided it was a good idea to light a fire under Lebron last postseason. Haha
Not too often (ever?) after a series win vs the Rangers do I feel like we beat them thoroughly enough. We did this time
The last game of the first Red Sox series was 17-1. We lost to the Rangers 13-5, granted they rallied from a 3-0 deficit and we scored 2 in garbage time.
You are right, it was Boston that was 17-1, but the final rangers game was still a beat down of us 13-5..
Randy Arozarena swinging at straight bullshit and the Mariners probably going to win another 1-0 game.
This series reminds me of the one last season against the Mariners right after the ASB. They were on a roll and were so hyped up about it...calling it their biggest series of they year. Their crowds were huge and rowdy...until we eviscerated them with a sweep. They managed to still play well enough to get swept by us again in the playoffs but the division was over at that point.
