Open Thread: World Series Game 3

Welcome to Arlington, where the Rangers vow things will be different now. Considering that Texas is now 0-11 at San Francisco, committed 4 errors in Game 1 and issued more walks than a Bed Bath & Beyond in Beijing, things could hardly be worse.

Jonathan Sanchez, fresh off two really lousy starts that followed two stellar ones, takes his unique brand of electric inconsistency to the hill against "I sucked. I went to Japan. Now I'm great!" Colby Lewis.

The DH is also here, giving Vlad Guerrero and Pablo Sandoval something to do. Make no mistake: The Rangers need to win this game. Or sign Dave Roberts but quick.

I’ve no doubt Wash is competent in other facets of life but when it comes to managing a major league team, he is quite an idiot.

And being a major league manager certainly does not preclude one from being an idiot. In fact, judging from the population, I reckon it’s quite the opposite.

well he does

He spoke without making a single grammatical error. That’s more than some native English speakers can manage.

I agree with the words you speak with

He just speaks too quickly and is extremely hard to understand.

Whether he’s being grammatically correct isn’t really relevant in that case.

This could actually work out well!

Rangers can come back and win but it’d have to in SF. So they don’t get to celebrate at home but they can stomp on Giants’ pathetic miserable faces.

But the unholy duo mentioned that Wash said it was Hunter if the Rangers won tonight.

I can sympathize with Wash's wanting to leave Feliz for the ninth inning

so that the Giants get fewer looks and can get blown away more often in a close game that the Rangers are leading.

It’s of course risky. But at some point you have to give some vote of confidence in someone else in the pen.

also, Ozzie made a good point

he also would have wanted to have Feliz pitch in the 8th. but as he said, Wash knows his players better than we do.

by OaklandSi on Oct 30, 2010 7:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

The tying run was at the plate and just so happens to be the best hitter on the other team.

Your team is already down 2-0.

You’re bringing in a pitcher who’s already been roughed up the last two games and consequently has already gotten plenty of looks from the other team (since you say you care about that).

It’s the World fucking Series.

It’s amazing the extent people go to make excuses for Wash. If Geren making the same moves, the same people would be ripping him to shreds.

I agree

It was poor bullpen management to not have his best guy ready behind Lewis at that point.
