Good play

One more run would be a godsend. (Semien's really come around the past three games.)

ginkel has a nokona glove - begrudgingly gotta root for him

You don't want Seager to beat you,so a walk is fine

Ginkel is amazing

Arizona has more of them than Texas at this point. I don’t know if they have a run in them

Four more outs

Bet he runs first pitch.

If the Rangers win I wonder if the parade goes through downtown Arlington (lol) or Dallas.

Longoria can always hit but hasn't done anything in this series
― Bee OK, Thursday, 2 November 2023 02:39 (two years ago)
So good move!

This tension is fun

Damn
What a pitch
― #1 García Fan (H.P), Thursday, 2 November 2023 02:42 (two years ago)
9th inning
Filthy pitch.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 2 November 2023 02:45 (two years ago)
So Leclerc will, I assume, close, having pitched that completely pointless part-inning yesterday.
― clemenza, Thursday, 2 November 2023 02:45 (two years ago)
Bunt. If the next hitter has any clue how to, bunt.
― clemenza, Thursday, 2 November 2023 02:47 (two years ago)
Or maybe not.
How did he miss that ball?
― Bee OK, Thursday, 2 November 2023 02:48 (two years ago)
(Kidding aside, that was exactly the kind of situation where I would bunt. Moot now.)
I think he had his mind on the throw before he took care of the ball.
― clemenza, Thursday, 2 November 2023 02:49 (two years ago)
And that'll do it.

If not for Seager, I imagine Semien would be the MVP. Really admire him, the way he plays.

Salt in wounds
"No team has ever won a WS game having gone six innings with no hits and no runs."
Large sample size, I'm sure.
― clemenza, Thursday, 2 November 2023 02:54 (two years ago)
semien was a void until the last two games!
(i like him too tho)
― mookieproof, Thursday, 2 November 2023 02:55 (two years ago)
I thought it was the last three, but you're right, he's still only at .224 for the series.
― clemenza, Thursday, 2 November 2023 02:56 (two years ago)
Actually, check that, he's much better than that...will figure it out after the game.
― clemenza, Thursday, 2 November 2023 03:00 (two years ago)
The right team won
― Bee OK, Thursday, 2 November 2023 03:03 (two years ago)
They did, I still can’t help feel disappointed

Great win, what a story. How does Bochy do it?

another of baseball's great ironies - the hitter with the longest post-season hitting streak records the final out of the world series that also breaks his streak
(i think i got that right)

Can’t help but laugh at max getting a ring here lol. Mid season trades really just a lottery for who is going to luck into getting a ring

I think Texas is a very credible WS winner. Only won 92, outscored their opponents enough to win 96, awesome offense, lost their best starter for the season, lost Scherzer and Garcia for most of the series. They remind me of a few other overdue teams from history, like the Senators in 2019. They're not the best team, no, but I'm a lot happier that they won than the team with 84 wins (who were lucky to win that many). Arizona did great to get there, and I won't be inconsistent in my belief that the postseason isn't the sole measure of anything, but if Texas and Arizona played 162 games, I think Texas would win close to 90 of them.
Semien: 9-24, .292/.292/.625, 2 HR, 8 RBI.
