    Series tied, tomorrow becomes the pivotal game of the series. Whoever wins is in the drivers seat. Verlander needs to bring his best stuff, and the boys need to rough up Montgomery early. That's the ticket.

    Well, now that Rangers players, coaches, fans, and even custodial staff are all collectively clenching their assholes in unison, it's time to snatch their souls tomorrow and complete the GLF sweep. The key has been and will continue to be situational hitting. Keep the pressure on, don't let their pitchers off the hook with easy outs, and keep hunting pitches you can drive. Let's come back down 45 up 3-2!

    It was written in the rules in 2016 to probably keep people from leaving long laces on the glove. It's weird, but anything on the offensive player is considered part of him, while the glove is specially just the glove and no laces.

    *The PERSON of a player or an umpire is any part of his body, his clothing or his equipment.

    *A TAG is the action of a fielder in touching a base with his body while holding the ball securely and firmly in his hand or glove; or touching a runner with the ball, or with his hand or glove holding the ball (not including hanging laces alone), while holding the ball securely and firmly in his hand or glove.

    It's very unlikely to happen, but if the Astros manage to knock out Montgomery fairly early, this series is over.

    The Rangers bullpen has taken an absolute beating and those guys are going to be gassed. If they can't rest tomorrow, that might be that.

    What if I told you that Dusty would decide to not go to France and instead go to Stanek, Brown, Maton and Montero ….. and they would pitch 7 easy shut out innings?

    Not believable? How about If told you Jose Abreu would drill a 440 foot three run shot to win the game?

    Playoff Dusty ….

    I like how Stanek won the game by throwing one pitch...

    Abreu has 3 of the 6 farthest HRs this postseason.

    Nook, question to ask you. Any idea if Framber has been talking with this therapist who he claims has helped him out immensely? Just seems mental with him right now.

    Having France in the back pocket to eat up several innings if needed is a major luxury, same with Hunter Brown....honestly he could have gone 4 tonight given where the Rangers were in their lineup, his pitch count, and how he was doing.
