Take Me Out...Yes...It's BASEBALL!

Arizona bounces back in a big way and dominates, winning 9-1 in game two. Series now tied with game three Monday in Arizona.

Maybe this will be a 7 game series. That'd be fun to watch.

Rangers had 3 runs in the top of the 3rd inning. Those 3 runs were all that was needed to oust the D-Backs with a final score of 3-1. With that win in game 3, the Rangers lead the WS over the D-Backs 2-1.

The D-Backs fought a good fight up to the last out by scoring in the bottom of the 8th inning. Both teams used the bullpen to their best advantages. Chapman still has the speed but imho, he didn't have control of his placements in the box. Some batters Chapman had faced swung at junk which helped him, but I was sweating while he was in the mound. Don't get me wrong, Chapman can still throw major heat, but all of that heat is cooled down when his box placements are more balls than K's.

Rangers Seager was the only HR of the game. Seager made a sliding stop at shortstop which started a double play in the bottom of the 8th inning that most assuredly might've saved the game. Garcia throw a bomb to home to get D-Backs Walker out at the plate in the 2nd inning.

The Rangers now have won 9 straight wins on the road during this postseason, but it took its toll with pitcher Scherzer and outfielder Garcia have succumbed to lower back injuries.

Starter pitchers for tonight's Game 4 of the WS will have the Rangers Heaney and D-Backs Mantiply with both sides more than likely depending on their respective bullpens.

GO RANGERS!!

What a Game!! Between both teams, 18 runs, and when the dust finally settled, the Rangers won Game 4 with the final score 11-7.

By the bottom of the 6th inning, the score was Rangers 10 and the D-Backs 1. It was all the Rangers, all of the way.

Rangers - Semien: 2 for 4, 3-Run HR, 5 RBI

Rangers - Seager: 19th career postseason HR - 2nd All-Time among Shortstops

Rangers - Jankowski: 2 for 3, double, 2 RBI, 2 runs

Rangers - 1st time in World Series game first 10 runs scored with 2 outs

Just when one might think, like I did, that the Rangers might shutout the D-Backs. Boy was I premature in what I thought. The D-Backs refused to just lay down and let the Rangers have their way. No sir. Not that easy.

Inning 1: Tied score 0-0

Inning 2: Rangers 5 and D-Backs 0

Inning 3: Rangers 5 and D-Backs 0

Inning 4: Rangers and D-Backs 1

Inning 5: Rangers 0 and D-Backs 0

Inning 6: Rangers 0 and D-Backs 0

Inning 7: Rangers 0 and D-Backs 0

Inning 8: Rangers 1 and D-Backs 4

Inning 9: Rangers 0 and D-Backs 2

FINAL: Rangers 11 and D-Backs 7

For the Rangers that means that they've made it 10 straight road game wins

Game 5 will still be held at Chase Field. Game 5 tomorrow's starting pitchers will see the Rangers RHP Nathan Eovaldi (4-0, 3.52 ERA) vs RHP Zac Gallen (2-2, 5.27 ERA)

Rangers have now forced the D-Backs backs against the wall, and this type of pressure of having to win 3 in a row can make the behind tea, one of 2 things, dangerous or careless.

I see the Rangers winning the 2023 World Series on the road.

GO RANGERS!!

[KarateKen]

Congratulations to the Walker Texas Rangers on their first World Series title. They beat Arizona tonight 5-0 and win the Series 4-1. Somewhere Chuck Norris is smiling.

TEXAS RANGERS ARE THE 2023 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!!

Final score 5-0. Rangers are WS champions for the first time!! CONGRATS RANGERS!!

Both starters Nathan Eovaldi and Zac Gallen were stellar with 6 scoreless innings. Each teams fought their ways out of several tight situations with both teams leaving runners in scoring position but to no avail. Many gasps of relieve could be heard on and off the field.

Rangers are a team when they're on the road as a force with 11-0 record.

Rangers got on the board in the 7th inning and then on the top of the 9th inning they got 4 more insurance runs. Rangers had 9 hits with zero errors while the D-Backs had 5 hits with one error...that error was quite damaging by allowing 2 runs in for the Rangers.

Semien launched a 2-run ball that went yard in the right center seats. Then, at the bottom of the 9th inning, Sborz was 3 up and 3 down for the win.

How about them Rangers!?!?

Watched the first few innings then needed to go to bed (was 2am here). Think that from the two teams the better team won.

Thats another ring for Scherzer though. I'm going to be interested to see the eventual difference in their first ballot support between him and Verlander (they are both no doubt first baller HoFers, am curious who will get bragging rights). Personally i would pick Verlander by a hair but i could see it either way

[bushido_man96]

Congrats to the Rangers and their fans!

[sensei8]

I'm NOT a Rangers fan at all. I'm a pinstriped diehard Yankee fan and always will be. I cheered for the Rangers during the World Series because I wanted to see them win their first World Series.

I knew you weren't, Bob. I recalled that you were one of those darned Yankees.
