That’s good to hear man. Baseball is a fun sport to follow especially when D-Backs make noise. Btw, how’s your recovery coming will you be ready to play next week for Cards?

A lot of people love fantasy. I played it about a decade ago. It's roto. I remember focusing on the pitchers. But I can't remember my strategy exactly, though I did well.

It's tough though if you get in a league with people who have done it a while and really know what they are doing, know all the players well, etc.

Rangers went to the world series without DeGrom.
Bochy is all-time great coach.
This series will be fantastic.

Actually missed the final for .007 bat avg(it was H2h) to the eventual winner :lol:
Yeah didn't know too many players at first but got our boy Gallen, it was fun.

What a crappy result. Blow a 5-3 lead in the bottom of the 9th and lose in 11. Such a great opportunity to take a game on the road.

Yup, led 95% of the game after being down 2-0 in the first inning only to blow the game. Our bullpen guys of Ginkel & Sewalt hadn’t allowed a run during postseason for combined 18 innings until last night. Hopefully we get a win tonight and all will be fine.

Good win to tie the series up @ 1 a piece. We could easily be up 2-0 heading back to AZ for next 3 games if not for the blown save. This team continues to impress me what a Cinderella story. :)

It seems like most of our team is choking BIG TIME right now.
When Walker made that defensive error last night, just made me speechless.

It sucks bc this run looks a lot like our run in vs Bucks (giannis injured, 2-0 lead lol)
Texas is without DeGrom, now without #53 and maybe even Seager is out.
If this team can comeback from this, I'd be really surprised.

We are known for choking and not finishing what we started. Sherzer & Garcia injured for game 4 yet the D-backs wasted a great opportunity to tie the series. It’s Inexcusable to allow 10 runs in first three innings of a WS game. Not sure what our manager was thinking inserting Castro in the 2nd inning but that bold move cost us the game. Now we must pray for a miracle to win three straight games.

The Rangers have had some epic meltdowns in World Series, and the DBacks have been fighting these playoffs. Heck, they scored 6 runs in the 8th and 9th innings last night.

I have faith!

Zach Gallen flirting with a no hitter through 5 innings. It would be nice to score a few runs though.

I’m very proud of this team. They had a surprisingly great postseason in which nobody expected them to reach NLCS series let alone the WS. Can’t wait to see who they add next season and run it back. Should be a great 7-8 years with our youngsters gaining more experience and adding another starting pitcher to the mix.

Yes, got further than expected with a young team. Hopefully fans don't start calling players out and demanding big changes if they don't get as far next year...like they did with the Suns...and they continue to build with their young players and don't feel they need to trade a bunch of them for some superstar because they feel they are ready now.

The can contend for awhile..with that built confidence, etc.
