Come on Rangers you owe us after last night. Rodriguez' power outage is astounding. 71 XBH last year, he's got 31 this year.
Even in his prime, Verlander was not lock down in the playoffs... then you have come out of no where performances like Urquidy and Backe in which expectations were non existent.
16-6 W/L record through the ALCS in his career, the most prolific such record in the history of the game. We've gone 5-2 in his starts since 2022, and one of the losses was a 2-0 final score. I think you want that in your rotation, no?
Two more similar starts as today -- a game you considered it "ridiculous" to send him out in the 6th with 84 pitches -- and he leapfrogs multiple starters for Game 3. Okay
I don't feel good about putting pressley in this situation, hopefully we don't give more than 2 runs...
Anybody had Scott coming in the 8th inning? ERA of 4.40 over his last 13 outings. That's like bringing in Caleb Ferguson in this situation. I don't think anyone would have blessed that decision. This is y'all's manager. Y'all deal with it. Sense of urgency is void with this fool.
