Well, to help the Fightin Phils out, lets hope the D'Backs display some venom today. Let’s hope not.

GTF, has A.J. Hinch joined the Michigan Football staff as a "scout"?

DB's get the win in the bottom of the 9th - 2 to 1.
Ump was calling a tight strike zone - both ways.

Tip of the cap to Dbacks. Their rookie starting pitcher was straight nasty. Well done. Onto tomorrow night.

Stros tie the series with the Rangers at two apiece. All wins have been on the road so far. Astros win 10 to 3.
Geaux Stros.

I would say this Astros and Rangers series is rather intense.

What a game - Astros get a 3 run HR from Altuva in top of the ninth for a comeback 5 to 4 win.
IMO, the umps make a mistake in the bottom of the 8th by ejecting the Astro pitcher for hitting a batter. Situation - Abreu walks first batter in a 4 to 2 Ranger lead. He hits Garcia with first pitch. Garcia had hit a 3 run HR earlier. Abreu hits Garcia and both benches clear. Big delay and umps throw out Abreu, then when Dusty Baker goes wild - they throw him out. And finally they throw out Garcia.
Who would hit a batter when down two runs?

Really have to hand it to the Dbacks. They are a group of battling dudes!! Tomorrow is going to be huge.

Both games last night were amazing. That was exciting postseason baseball. Dusty Baker getting tossed from the game, then just chilling out in the dugout like nothing happened was classic Dusty. He was like…why should I have to leave the dugout?

Now Abreu gets a two game suspension - Pretty harsh IMO.

And just like that Wheeler gives the Phils what they needed and some much needed rest for key members of bullpen. The bats continue to just absolutely mash.
Now let’s have Nola do his thing and close this series out.

I know some people with vested interests in these teams might not be enjoying as much as me. But I’ve been enjoyed the hell out of these 2 series. And all the playoffs in general after the wildcard round. Both going 7 games, intense play, a little chippy stuff, lots of key hits and big homers. Really exciting baseball, played at a high level with seasons at stake. Fun to watch.

I agree. Of course it is a lot more fun watching when you really don't care who wins. These have been great series. Rangers surprising me and wouldn't it be bazaar to have a seven game series in which the home team lost all the games?

These bullpen games are a crap shoot. Don't like in the regular season and don't care for them in the playoffs. Rangers up 8-2 right now in 4th.

Rangers surprising me and wouldn't it be bazaar to have a seven game series in which the home team lost all the games? Yes, my team is traditionally eliminate from post season play by Memorial Day. So that takes any pressure off me watching these games. But they’ve been fun to watch. A lot of MLB these days is just waiting around until someone hits a big homer. These games have had actual strategy, crazy things like stolen bases. Playing infield in trying to cut off the run at the plate. Batters trying to advance runners instead of swinging for the fences. And there’s still been plenty of HRs too.

Assuming that Texas doesn’t blow this 8 run lead…I have a suggestion as to who the series MVP could be. My goodness, Garcia has been an absolute terror.

Hats off to the Rangers and Garcia on beating the Stros 11 to 4 tonight and advancing to the World Series.
