Game 7: Rangers @ Cardinals

[Tin Cup]

6 is over. Time to win game 7.

Harrison needs the game of his life tomorrow.

The Cardinals won their game 7 tonight, we'll take ours tomorrow night! :clap:

[pirate4state]

I hope it's true, but I have a bad feeling.

[Old Tiger]

game 6 went south bad for rangers IMO that effects their mentality.....cards take game 7.



Rangers fans are left saying "at least we're not the cubs"

[Phil C]

The Rangers blew it tonight. With Carpenter pitching there is no way they will win tomorrow. They are outcoached and now outplayed. Washington could have saved it if he had let Mike pitch the ninth inning. I am not wasting my time. I am going to watch hs football.

[Old Tiger]

Heard Cruz strained his groin in last at bat.

[Tejastrue]

All I can say is I've been a fan since they moved here to Texas...still a fan...nothing has changed...we have another game tomorrow and I still believe we'll be WS champions come late tomorrow tonight...for all the negative "nay sayers"...please, don't go away mad...just go away...

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Rangers haven't lost two straight game in over 2 months, it's going to be put to the test later tonight.

Your dumbass shtick is officially old.

[D_bird]

As bad as game 6 hurt... I saw something tonight that may be the Cardinals worst enemy... They darn near celebrated like they WON THE WORLD SERIES... As bad as that hurts for the Rangers, I'd be more concerned about the Cardinals having the emotional let down in game 7. Also, this will be the third time the Rangers have seen Carpenter and he'll be on short rest. The other time he pitched on short rest in game 1 against the Phillies he got shelled.

Game 6 very well might've been the best thing that could've ever happened to the Rangers.

[Emerson1]

I think it was second best, because they could have won.

[D_bird]

True... But now that they lost it once... Now is time for them to win it once...

[ExScoop]

I'll miss most of the game since I'll be covering Bloomington at Boling for the El Camp Radio station by callling in reports.

Don't think the Rangers can pull it off after blowing leads last night. No consistent pitching or defense.

When you score 9 runs- your supposed to win.

Dam Fox broadcasters wanted Cardinals too win to force game 7-They are terrible broadcasters in my opinion.

Washington could have saved it if he had let Mike pitch the ninth inning. I am not wasting my time. I am going to watch hs football.The Rangers have yet to lose to Carpenter!, and he is pitching on short rest. I think if they can get to him early they will rack up the runs like they did against detroit. If not then who knows

Scratch that, I forgot carpenter was still pitching when the cards took lead in 6th of game one. But he was on full rest then. Hopefully he will be off today

[Phil C]

I hope you are right. But the thing is with the big win the Cardinals have a big edge psychologically and I am afraid this is going to be a repeat like Game 3. I would love to be wrong but have been right so far. Unfortunately it is the Cardinals night tonight. Especially since the game is in St. Louis. There is one edge for the Rangers and that is it is the 28th. Will it be enough? I don't think so but I hope so.

[Phil C]

Don't get me wrong. I hope the Rangers prove me wrong and win tonight. Go Rangers!

[zebrablue2]

Don't get me wrong. I hope the Rangers prove me wrong and win tonight. Go Rangers!


:ditto: They will pull it out!

" fingers crossed"

[TheDOCTORdre]

If the Rangers wanted to win the World Series last night was their chance...2 strikes away from winning it TWICE, and they couldn't do it, I think its in the Cards for St. Louis to win this

It was one strike away twice!
I thought they had it won.It will be hard for Texas to rebound after losing the way they did but if any team can do it it's the Rangers!
I'm going to DVR it and watch it after I get home from Navarro.

[Txbroadcaster]

Win or lose tonight will have nothing to do with what happen in game 6..this Ranger team has proven over and over that they bounce back

That is true. I was really disappointed in that the Rangers lost Game 6, but they have another shot tonight. They played horribly defensively, pitching couldn't hold the lead on several occasions, and give the Cardinals credit - they were resilient and got it done. Tonight is a totally new night. I look for the Rangers to bounce back in a big way tonight. They will be FOCUSED! This is what they played for all year long.

[lostaussie]

The Cardinals won their game 7 tonight, we'll take ours tomorrow night! :clap:Jeez I hope you are right.............really bumming this morning. Wife told me to get my ass to Buckeye game tonight so she could win a World series in PEACE:D going to take her up on that.............I just can't bare to watch. GO RANGERS!!!

Are you gonna sit or stand at the game? What time are you gonna be able to get there?

[Tin Cup]

If the Rangers don't win the world series it isn't because they lost game 6, it's because they lost game 7. Nothing that has happened in this series will determine the outcome of this game, other than possible injuries and tired arms. We got blown out in game 3, but how did we respond? I don't believe in all this destiny this and that. Make your own destiny tonight Texas Rangers.

As I predicted, Rangers in 7!

It will come down to who wants it more

Last night the Rangers did not deserve to be World Series Champs---
Tonight they will shine and show the world why they deserve the title.
I still think the Rangers are a team of destiny......Go Rangers!

[WildTexan972]

not that big a loss to the Rangers in the WS...he was a beast in the ALCS but his weak attempt at a long fly ball to right while playing deep (he was skeered of the wall obviously) cost the Rangers the title...this pitching matchup may well be a big problem for the Texas boys...

Nothing that has happened in this series will determine the outcome of this game, other than possible injuries and tired arms. We got blown out in game 3, but how did we respond? I don't believe in all this destiny this and that. Make your own destiny tonight Texas Rangers.

As I predicted, Rangers in 7!

Decent point. In baseball, momentum is only as good as the next day's pitcher. After game 3, many thought the Cards would run away with it. What happened? Holland came out and pitched a great game to totally destroy any momentum the Cards had. I agree with the sentiment that Carp going against the Rangers a third time on short rest probably favors the Rangers. If Harrison gets ahead of hitters, he should have a good night. I think if we can come out and score a run or two early and hopefully take an early lead, last night will be forgotten.

[Farmersfan]

Why not? Some of ya'll always act smart on this message board when you aren't!!!! :stirpot:


I probably won't watch the Rangers tonight. I don't think I could take it emotionally if they blow another game and lose the World Series. If they win, game #6 will mean nothing. If they lose tonight then game #6 will define this franchise for the next 25 years. I don't see them recovering from this anytime soon unless they can win tongiht. The Rangers will be the team that never won a World Series but came within 1 strike of it TWICE in one game........... that's not a distinction that I would want!

Can't wait. That game last night was a heck of a ball game by both clubs. The Rangers just came up short twice. A lot of little plays last night by both teams caused the game to be what it was. Neftali's ineffectiveness at what he is hired to do was the main reason we lost. Michael Young contributed to the loss at first base twice last night. I wish the Rangers could land Pujols to play first base next year. It won't happen but that would be awesome. Elvis not going to second last night contributed to the loss as well as Cruz not making that play against the wall for the final out of the game. It still falls on the closer that did not close though. He was not dialed in and got lucky on the first 2 outs.

To bad Cliff Lee didnt stick around. The Rangers need an Ace on their pitching staff. Holland has potential but I feel like that if the Rangers can get an Ace they will be deadly, if the current players stay put.

He picked up two wins in the ALDS and one in the ALCS before finally meeting his match in the World Series. that happens from time to time when you're facing Tim Lincecum.

Come on people! Don't be so pessimistic. Sure Game 6 was a big disappointed but let's keep the loss in perspective. It was not a world series cincher but rather a determination that there will be a game 7 to decide the winner.

Just wondering how I "degraded" myself TXB? And I did say for 25 years. I don't think this team gets back to a World Series anytime soon if they lose this one like they are in danger of doing!

[Farmersfan]

Just like the Mavs collapse defined the franchise for the next 25 years.

I can't keep up with you people!!! First Romo is Dirk and now the Rangers are the Mavericks? Seriously, where do you get this crap from?

And the Mavericks collapse DID define the team until they won the title. I don't think the Rangers will compete for another title anytime soon if they lose this World Series like they are at risk of doing. Just my opinion! But if you sit quitely and watch you will find that although not normally popular, i'm usually correct! consider it a learning experience for you! :wave:

I feel pretty good about going against Carp on 3 days rest. He did it in game 2 of the Philly series and only went 3 innings giving up 4 ER. Harrison was also pitching well in his last start until ump blew that double play at first. Harrison leads the majors in induced double plays and the Cards lead the majors in grounding into Dbl plays. I think we have a good match up tonight. IMHO the most important thing tonight will be to play errorless defense. if they do that the rest will take care of itself.

You never get that call when the catcher has to move his glove over. He should have hit his target.

Carpenter was at 70 pitches last inning. He is on 3 days rest. He will either start to get hit this inning and pulled or barely scrape by and be out anyways.

You my friend are a borderlinne DA because strikes are called all the time where the ball crosses the plate...not where the glove starts out....

[Emerson1]

That worked out great for the Rangers. Got the free out with the Carpenter at bat then rocked him and got him out of the game. Last time we saw Rhodes he threw one pitch for a Hamilton hit right?

[Saggy Aggie]

You my friend are a borderlinne DA because strikes are called all the time where the ball crosses the plate...not where the glove starts out.... yeah but its also common knowledge that you dont get the benefit of the doubt when the catcher has to move his glove and a lot of times you DO get strike calls a little out of the zone if the pitcher nails his spot and the catcher doesnt have to move at all.

[Emerson1]

You my friend are a borderlinne DA because strikes are called all the time where the ball crosses the plate...not where the glove starts out....
It's called perception. When it's a borderline pitch and the catcher has to go across the plate to get it. The chances of the umpire, a human being, calling it a strike isn't on your side.

Dumbass.

Are you kin to farmersfan?

indeed they do!!!!

[Emerson1]

1 freakin strike.

Just glad I'm a bandwagon Ranger's fan.

Go Mavs.

[Farmersfan]

Pathetic effort by our Rangers tonight to followup a pathetic collapse last night. They aren't even going to make it respectable.

[Emerson1]

I have all the confidence in the world they can get 4 runs before the end of the game. Just no confidence in the pitching not allowing anymore runs.

St. Louis is just better right now. It has nothing to do with effort. Surprised you didn't say that the cardinals just wanted it more.

[sotex]

Rangers are playing badly but it sure seems like the ump has two different strike zones tonight. Not whining, just sayin.

[ExScoop]

Rangers bats went silent after first quarter-This game is just about history- I knew this was coming

Trade Hamilton for some pitching.

I feel bad that some of you wasted your time watching the game when you absolutely knew 100% that it was going to end up like this.

A real heartbreaker series for the Rangers. Nice season Rangers, and congrats to the Cards---they literally snatched victory from the jaws of defeat last night and deserve all the credit in the world.

41 walks for a Series record by the Rangers just doomed them. They will be back.

[Old Tiger]

boo freaking hoo....nobody cares if they rangers win....nobody cares if they lose.

I wish we would have gotten it done but it just didn't happen. Every year there's a winner and every year there's a loser. After losing it twice in a row, winning it will be that much sweeter. I hope it happens for our players and their families bc you know they want it more than anything.

Rangers are playing badly but it sure seems like the ump has two different strike zones tonight. Not whining, just sayin.Try this on for size. Saw it on another site:

If the World Series advances to a Game 7, 23-year veteran Jerry Layne will be the plate umpire again. Layne also had the plate for the Series opener, which St. Louis won at 3-2.

In the last five years, including the Series opener, St. Louis is 8-1 with a 2.00 ERA when Layne works the plate. In the same span, the Rangers are 1-6 with a 5.40 ERA.

Left-hander Matt Harrison, the scheduled Rangers' starter for a Game 7, is 0-1 with a 12.71 ERA for 5 2/3 innings in two appearances with Layne working the plate.

So Jerry Layne is the Danny Crawford of the MLB? Jerry Layne didn't misplay a routine fly ball into a series-changing triple in game 6. Try another excuse.

Cruz definitely could/should have caught it but it was far from routine.

A tight strike zone benefits the better pitcher. There is little doubt Carp was the best pitcher in the series.

Should they and could they have won anyway? Yes and Cruz wasn't the only culprit in Game 6. Try Andrus throwing to 1st instead of pitching to 2nd. Try Neftali walking the tying runs on base in the first place. Try Michael Young's 2 errors extending innings for them. So Jerry Layne wasn't the reason but the Cards didn't need his help. They were getting enough from our defense and pitching.
