Harper walked and Bohn struck out on identical pitches in back to back at bats.

That's always some great consistency~

I celebrated Thanksgiving in Yuma once and it was 93

Also, hope my Phils bounce back...Kind of saw a game like this coming. It was all just going too smooth.
Then I learned they didn't take batting practice...take that junk tomorrow.

Yep Astros are going to win and the game is never going to be close enough that the Rangers feel even an inkling of hope.

If you want a reason to be optimistic, Eovaldi got shelled in his first start coming back from injury without a rehab stint in the minors (Against Houston, coincidentally enough) and has been fantastic since. Game 3 was Scherzer's first start coming back from injury, without a rehab stint in the minors and the man has been generally very good for the Rangers, if you ignore injury-related games. If you believe in history repeating itself, Scherzer could do quite well.

But yeah, the Rangers are running on Montgomery, Eovaldi and then whatever they can get from the Heany-into-Dunning + whatever they can get from Scherzer. It'd probably be Gray instead of Scherzer if he didn't get hurt too, but he's been relegated to the pen because he's fresh off injury too.

Ultimately though, the most important thing is that Sborz has been much better than I expected him to be all playoffs long, and Leclerc has been mostly good too. Chapman is a huge concern, but his stats are massively better when he has at least a day off between appearances, compared to when he appears in consecutive games (13 appearances on no days off and 8.68 ERA vs 13 appearances on 1 day off and 2.13 ERA and 15 on 2 days off with 2.45 ERA) and he didn't pitch yesterday.

His stats in the 8th vs 9th inning are similarly different (32.1 IP in the 8th with an ERA of 1.95 compared to 17.1 in the 9th with an ERA of 4.15). I'm never going to be confident or relaxed with him being on the mound but tonight will basically be the ideal scenario for him, if he has to come out.

More importantly than the pitching, Semien showed solid signs of life last night (2 hits, 2 walks). If he's coming out of his slump, and if Seager can at least show plate discipline, there's hope.

I'm not gonna pretend any lead is insurmountable against this Rangers team, with a lineup as good as Houston's can be.

However, I am very much not stressed about this game right now.

So would you say this is their third World Series since 2010? That means it's their second since 2011, right?

I ask because I saw a headline that said it was their "first World Series since 2011" which felt wrong because they made it in 2011. You wouldn't say this is their second World Series since 2010, right?

I would definitely say this is their second since 2010, yes. I have never heard anyone use it the way you're describing.

Similarly you would say the Diamondbacks haven't made the World Series since 2001, not since 2002

They were actually 1 strike away from winning it! I guess the only way for it to get closer than that would be if it happened in Game 7 instead of 6.

Seems dependent on what you're highlighting. If you're highlighting a drought, I can see using "since 2011" as not inclusive of 2011, but second WS since 2011 or third since 2012 sounds like an accomplishment, not a drought.

Hmm, I guess it is used this way in these kinds of situations. But when it comes to "first time since" it usually doesn't count the year in question

For example, most articles you find about the 2016 WS will say "Cubs win first World Series since 1908" even though they won in 1908
