Hoping it is strictly precautionary.

Yeah, hopefully just concussion protocol.

Man I hate Odor. I'd love to see him take a fastball right in the ribs. I'd even give up a run to see that happen.

I prefer to see him look silly striking out swinging and not even getting close to a tick on the ball

Rangers in division series playoff games at home are now 1-11

I think they said it came off the bat at 102 mph...? I was impressed he took it so well - looked kinda dazed but stayed on his feet.

[The Big Chill]

One more to go, with Sanchez on the hill, too.

This is a dangerous team if the bats get hot at the right time.

Great to see the Jays be the talk of the town.

Ceili's on 4th was absolutely packed when I walked by and I saw a few people in the +15's with hats and jerseys on at lunch.

Great win. Rogers Centre will be rockin' on Sunday.

I know nothing about baseball but this is pretty cool! I actually asked someone if they go to overtime if it's tied (I have watched exactly zero baseball games). I'm learning though.

Definitely getting me into it; giving me another sport to watch and ignore my screaming kids.

Osuna is clutch!



If someone told me a few weeks ago we'd have 2-0 on Texas I would have laughed.

[Galakanokis]

That's some great baseball. Starters and relievers getting it done. Hitters coming through against Texas' two best pitchers. All around a great couple of games and even going back to the Orioles game, Jays putting it all together.

Added bonus, Price is getting beaten up in Cleveland.

[Roof-Daddy]

To win this series, the Rangers will have to win three straight games against...

Arguably our ace Sanchez
Big game Stroman
Estrada who just worked them in game 1


Looking good but anything can happen I gues

When you start to appreciate what those pitchers are up there doing I think it gets even better. I love watching Martin work behind the plate and coaxes the best out of each of those pitchers, it's amazing.

Damn, I could watch Tulo throw ball from short for hours on end.

Just watched TSN's highlight package of the game, and I'm very sure EE played Moreland's double in foul territory. Should have been challenged.

5 min will have to do....

If Liriano's out for the series, can Happ move to the bullpen? If so, when would he first be available? Monday?

[Jiggy_12]

^^if they went that way, he wouldn't be available until a game 5.

I think you are really starting to see Martin's value. He's got everyone dealing right now. Not to go all TAO on everyone but it makes me hate Dickey/Thole even more.

Why? Who cares about him? I'd like to see him and his whole team lose. Nothing like watching fake swagger take an entire group of individuals down.

Ya I have been thinking about Martin's effect on this pitching staff. He seems to really have a knack for getting his starters to perform. I wonder how much credit can be given to Pete Walker as well. Benoit, Grilli, Liriano were all reclamation projects and he has turned them into useful pieces.
