pettie4sox Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 The bottom line is the Rangers had 2 on and no out and scored zero runs because they are total npcs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is so wise. And Bochy wasn't even the second best manager today. Joe Espada had everything under control, all the substitutions worked, Pressley pitched deep into his reserves but shut down the heart of the Rangers order. The White Sox wanted to hire Joe Espada, but after he had seen the clown show of Hahn, Williams and Reinsdorf up close and in person during the interview process, took himself out of the running, returned to Houston and told Dusty Baker what transpired at 35th and Shields.

So far this is the 2019 World Series setup, the Nats won that because the Astros had home field advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 I did not see both series going 2-2. Hope they both go 7. Well really I hope the Rangers win in 7 and the Dbacks win in 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox coulda paid Jose and got rid of TA and Moncada before this disastrous season to save $$. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southwest Sider Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 The Astros may have been the team caught cheating but that happened and they just went out and continued to dominate the AL afterward. You gotta respect that. We wish the Sox could hold the Astros jock at this point. Hate them all you want, and I wont try to change your mind, but at this point several years removed from the scandal its my opinion that they are now the class of the AL and it's not even close. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really have been wondering lately how popular this team would be if it wasn’t for that scandal. Aside from them “always being good”, is there anything else to hate about them? Hell, in 2017 there was a part where the Rangers refused to play games in a different park in the series right after Harvey hit, people might even be cheering against Texas for that if not for this scandal.
