World Series 2023

[olbriar]

Game 1 of the World Series between the Texas Rangers And the Arizona Diamondbacks is Friday. The teams were the least likely to make the series. It should be an interesting series and I hope entertaining.
Does anyone have a dog in this fight? I need a team to root for.

They are both good teams. It should be a good 7 game series. I have no favorite, but with all of my wife's relative in Arizona I suppose I'll root a bit for the Diamond backs

Here's what my Arizona niece sent me in a text for the bottom of the 9th inning yesterday. She couldn't watch it

No dog but let's go Diamondbacks!

 

[olbriar]

I have past connections to Arizona as well. Diamondbacks it is! Go D-Backs!!

I guess I have a Texas connection as well. I was born in Texas though my folks moved to Kansas when I was two and decided to take me with them Their mistake

 

[olbriar]

If you like offense in baseball, game 1 of the World Series is starting out to be that type of game.

It's been a good game! That slide home by AZ was nice'

 

[olbriar]

I was saying no no no as he was headed home. It was a great slide and he would have been out with a better throw home. Not that it was a bad throw but left the catcher a bit short of the line and away from the plate. A bit deeper throw or closer to home would have likely been an out instead of a run.

Just WoW

At least we didn't give them the game in the 9th. That two run homer to tie the game was a heart breaker. Time to step up our game.

 

[AugieTN]

I hope they aren't to start a runner on 2nd base in the World Series during extra innings

Thank goodness they aren't

How refreshing... real baseball.

 

[AugieTN]

That was a good game. Really intense in the extra innings

 

[olbriar]

It was an entertaining game to watch but the wrong team won. I felt the L coming when we let them tie the game in the 9th

 

[AugieTN]

AZ has some real shitty relief pitchers. Both pitchers in the extra innings had a +4.00 ERA. 4.31 & 4.18

 

[olbriar]

It showed... glaringly.

I moved the World Series posts into a new World Series 2023 Thread. @AugieTN @Clementine_3
Lets hope that we win more than we lose and the games continue to be a good watch.

This is probably the most uninteresting World Series in a long time....

 

[olbriar]

If the D-Backs can even the series tonight it will make me feel better.

Both teams are pretty mediocre on a good day so it's really just s crapshoot at this point. Go Diamondbacks though.

 

[AugieTN]

Who are the three rich kids behind home plate in yellow crayon suits trying to distract the AZ pitcher? I'd kick them out.

They also have to keep the Fox reporter out of the dugouts trying to do interview during the game - So Stupid!

I have no idea who the idiot triplets are but I'm sure that you are right... they are rich.

This is probably the most uninteresting World Series in a long time....again...

Tonight's game is just a little bit on the slow paced side.

I haven't timed it, but I think they have added more commercials making the game longer.

That, Sir, would not surprise me in the least.
Az putting up some insurance in the top of the 8th is sweet!

 

[olbriar]

And just like that, the series is tied!
