It’s the internet. Just read back the last few pages of this thread. There are posts claiming that Dusty is actually betting against us. I’m
I can blame them. They’ve been calling games for a few years now. When this team is up, when the Astros are up, here’s what the Phillies, here’s what the Nationals, here’s what the Yankees, here’s what the Red Sox need to do to get back in the game. Smoltz basically giving a pitching game plan breakdown. Attack this guy this way, that guy this way and if they limit the damage and do this, this and this, they’ll be right back in it! And as @zeeshan2 said, Rosenthal’s basically been the Rangers beat reporter (at the athletic) since the season ended. HuBiE BrOwN Is nOt rOoTiNg aGaInSt tHe rOcKeTs. He’s jUsT SaYiNg hOw tHe oThEr tEaM CaN GeT BaCk iN It. sMoLtZ DoEsN’T HaTe tHe aStRoS. hE JuSt wAnTs aN InTeReStInG GaMe aNd hOw tHeY CaN GeT BaCk iN It. He’s nOt rOoTiNg fOr aNyOnE. Now they’re taking about game 3-4 (and potentially 5) and how excited they are to see Rangers fans at home. **** ‘em. Johnnie can take Martin Baker and Mauricio Baker with him. And end this personal position bullshit once and for all.
Yes - and Framber is also 7-3 with a 3.80 era in his career in the post season...... that includes two wins in the World Series last year. In 14 post seasons starts he has had 4 bad ones and 9 good to great ones.
Of course we can never get to that terrible Rangers pen because we only work 7 pitches out of starters an inning. So pathetic.
