7-6 Rangers in the third. Real barn-burner.

Yeah the tickets for a regular season game for the Rangers (especially with their record) are way overpriced for that Yankees series but I get it. Final series ever here and it is NYY. At least they are closing out the ballpark against someone like that instead of some fucktard team like Seattle. Just wish we could have had a playoff game this season but oh well.

The tickets for that get away game Thursday afternoon against Boston are very cheap but we can't make it to that one. 

My last time attending a game at the Ballpark was during a series with NYY. Marlon Byrd hit a walkoff HR for a Ranger win. August, 2008. The number of Yankee fans there was disgusting.

I say got damn, Nick Solak. 

[HRSchenker 2,259]

Yankee and Red Sox games are great for resellers. My seats cost $18 but I can usually sell my STH seats for $40-60 each regardless of how the Rangers are playing. I just sold my extra final game tickets for $100 each. I expect prices to go up even more for resellers once Globe Life Field opens. The lower bowl seats are $300 each so more people will be jumping at second and third deck seats if they go at all.

Ten games left. Hou (tonight), bye, Oakland, Boston, NY (3ea)

[Jameslaw121 4,445]

So, how many's people preseason predictions for W-L came true. I said 75 wins.

[Pato del Muerto 52,342]

I was at 65. 

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,349]

Anybody watching this shit? First inning, two outs. They had Odor playing so deep in the outfield that he couldn't get to a basic grounder hit right where the 2nd baseman normally plays in time to throw the guy out. That was two fucking runs ago. Earlier in the first, they had him playing behind second, and he couldn't reach a normal grounder hit thru the middle of the right side. Next play, he's placed in the middle, but still misses a hard grounder hit over second base by a foot.

4-0 after half an inning to a Boston team that won 80 or so games this year.

The deep one was weird.

"Both teams batted around in the 1st." After the 9 hole ended the inning.

Batting around requires the lead off man to bat again (10+), and you won't convince me otherwise.

You are wrong. 9 in the order. 

[Dr Fear 1,265]

I get people argue about this, but how is 9 "around?"

[Pato del Muerto 52,342]

Because everyone batted. 

If you walk around the block, do you feel compelled to walk past where you started to feel that you went all the way around?

That's not where you started, you started with the lead off batting.

[Pato del Muerto 52,342]

If you start an inning with a batter, then you start the next inning with the same batter, then you went all the way around.

How 'bout them Cowboys!

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,349]

With that homer, Odor catapulted his avg to .203

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,349]

Rangers go down quietly in the ninth. 12-10 final score. Too many errors and wild pitches.

Edited September 25, 2019 by Irish Wrist Watch

How many of you are going to the final game? I'm worried about parking and whether or not I should buy a season ticket pass. I would imagine that the crowd will resemble opening day.

[Zepol87 9,171]

Not sure about the final game but I will be there tonight

Staying up for that finish was such a waste, lol. For a short while there though they had me believing they could pull off the comeback.

[Dr Fear 1,265]

Santana grand salami.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,349]

Tough battle. 5-5 top of the 7th, 1out. Boston just got two solos off Minor. He should be getting close to 200 strikeouts. (199 end of seventh)

Edited September 26, 2019 by Irish Wrist Watch

[Dr Fear 1,265]

Willie homers.  Fun game.  Why not get Minor out for a few batters on Sunday to get #200?

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,349]

Odor and Calhoun homer in bot 7th. If they can hold the lead, Minor can get the win.

[Dr Fear 1,265]

It looks like he is going back out the in the 8th lol

 

 

[Dr Fear 1,265]

Ridiculous sequence there. 1-1 Guzman let's an infield pop fly drop foul, looked like Minor was yelling for him not to catch it. Next pitch is almost a foot high and jump rings up strike 3.

[Gucci_Suit 2,610]

The last 5 minutes of Rangers baseball were interesting to watch on mute at a restaurant. They let a sure out drop in foul territory, Minor then strikes the dude out, and he's out of the game at 126 pitches and 8-2/3 innings. 

Just chasing 200 k's?

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,349]

Minor gets 200 after Guzman let's a 2-strike pop foul drop. Congrats to Mike. 9 s/o on the day. Happy guy. Milestone. Final 7-5.

Have been a big Minor fan this season, but stat chasing something like that seems kinda chicken shit.

[Snotrocket 108]

Went to the game today.  You’re right on the stat chasing.  The Elvis steal went uncontested.  It looked like he could have walked and stole that base.  Still a hell of a milestone to steal 300 bases in a career.  That part of the game is disappearing.   Both teams had a bunch of AAA players playing.  We sat right behind the Ranger dugout.  The Ranger first baseman Guzman is a giant.

I have it on good authority that Emily Jones is working the NL playoffs games for TBS.

If Minor wants to hang his hat on personal milestones that are faked, good for him.  Cora should have pulled the team when the Rangers started that crap.

Was what Cora’s team did the inning before any different?  Or what Cora did on Tuesday, chasing stats?

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,349]

Odor, batting fifth... doubles with two on in the first.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,349]

6 RBIs tonight so far after a GS

[BigDHornfan 6,541]

Bittersweet day today. Farewell friend.

[Pato del Muerto 52,342]

I really liked that park

[3adays 454]

What was up with Nolan throwing the first pitch into the ground? I just assumed he could still toss it in there with no problem. 

[Pato del Muerto 52,342]

I know it didn’t happen there, but they could have invited robin ventura to stand in the batters box

Get rid of the temp stands on the sideline and add another covered area at the other end and you could make a nifty cricket ground.
