1) Texas was in danger of going "backwards through their bullpen" in the 9th. If the closer reached his limit before getting 3 outs, a lesser pitcher enters.
Better to start with the lesser pitcher for 3 batters.
2) Wonder if Baker will use Pressly for 2 or 3 innings tonight. Is Verlander available for 1 or 2?

Can't tell if this is a "sick burn" or someone who really lost the plot.

With the Astros elimnated it is now safe to remind everyone that Josh Fields was unprotected, taken by the Astros in the Rule 5 and later traded to the Dodgers for Yordan Alvarez. lol

No Rangers' fans?? Dallas-Fort Worth isn't that far away. That would have brought some joy to the party, though perhaps a little friction also! Not in our group, unfortunately! Two sets of Sox Fans, those pesky Stros fans and some Dodgers fans as well. A real melting pot I find myself in!

Somewhere out there is a DBacksProspects message board that's getting giddy over seeing Corbin Carroll step up in a big game.

I watched Youk but sweet lord I’ll never get used to Carroll’s stance and it will never not look like he’s humping the air.

For reference for the LCS teams. Devers was our WAR leader at 3.1 WAR.
The D-Backs had 5 players with more WAR than that
The Rangers had 4 players with more WAR than that
The Phillies had 6 players with more WAR than that
The Astros had 6 players with more WAR than that
We have quite the gap to fill over the next two years in terms of improving our roster

Congratulations to the Arizona Diamondbacks who have the chance to be one of the weakest World Champions in history with only the 2006 Cardinals being slightly worse.
We went from having a rematch to having the anti-rematch. Honestly at this point, I'm rooting for the Texas Rangers to win their first ever World Series. It would be cool for them to be able to enjoy one. I have no emotional attachment to the Dbacks (although congrats to Mike Hazen, Torey Lovullo and even freaking Tommy Pham). They won in 2001 which I'm grateful for but I don't have an overwhelming need to see them win a second one, especially with an 84 win team. Go Rangers.
