D-backs are going to be thinking about that pitch call to Seager. Walked way too many this game... but they could have won this.
Wowww. Rough loss for Arz. I guess better on the road than home?

This is a wild stat.
I was at the first two.

Texas, the Lone Star State, we call it. The stars at night, are big and bright, Moe Bandy once harmonized. None had a star shine brighter than that of Adolis Garcia, with a deft flick of his wrists, in his power, of will and adroitness alike. Lone? Well, you see, that comes in because that's all of us, as a roaring crowd as one, of this great game. We make the sweetest, most intoxicating of music.
Just catching up, that was a fantastic game.
After they showed that these two teams had the best fielding percentages in MLB early on, I checked their team DRS numbers and they were very good but not top 2. TOR was way ahead of everyone with Varsho and Kiermaier and Chapman, +83. ARI was 4th at +45 and TEX was 7th at +38.

Fell asleep in the top go the 10th. Woke up to like 45 texts from friends, many who were af the game. Just wild.
DraftKings was trying to sucker me into making a bet on the game yesterday with an odds boost for a same-game parlay. It worked and I just quickly threw together a four item parlay: Eovaldi and Gallen each to get 4 K’s and Seager and Garcia to each hit a home run. I’m not sure it was the smartest bet, but it worked out.

Edit - dont know how to embed. Basically a vid of Seagers HR.
With a caption ‘rangers first world series game at globe life field, but seagers 7th game and 3rd hr.’

D Backs 4 road WS games in franchise history:
2001 game 3 lose 2-1
2001 game 4 give up 2 r hr in 9th, lose on walkoff hr in extras
2001 game 5 give up 2 run hr in 9th, lose on walkoff hit
2023 game 1 give up 2 r hr in 9th, lose on walkoff hr in extras
2001 game 3 lose 2-1
2001 game 4 give up 2 r hr in 9th, lose on walkoff hr in extras
2001 game 5 give up 2 run hr in 9th, lose on walkoff hit
2023 game 1 give up 2 r hr in 9th, lose on walkoff hr in extras
 The Diamondbacks are now 0-3 on the road in the World Series when leading by multiple runs entering the bottom of the 9th inning.
All other teams in World Series history are 225-1 in that position. Coincidentally, the one loss belongs to the Rangers, who are 0-1 in such spots (Game 6 in 2011).

Honestly, the 2013 Red Sox are up there, especially the fact that team somehow won 97 games because pretty much everyone had a career year. You take a 69-win Bobby Valentine debacle, add a few decent-nice pieces, a pretty bad manager, and suddenly you’re arguably the best team in baseball and win it all. Total lightning in a bottle.
Mike Carp had an .855 OPS in 250 PA. Mike Carp!

As soon as Sewald walked Taveras, I tuned out, assuming the Rangers win. If Sewald has for some reason lost his precision, it bodes ill for AZ.
Since you brought it up:

The only difference is, the W first pitch didn’t happen on the same game as the game tying ninth inning homers.
W was game 3, which the Yankees still won. The game tying 9th inning homes were game 4 and 5.
Yeah this and maybe some Pedey too. Its not just the clutch hits. The dude loves playing baseball whether its in the field (I know Papi wasn't a position player so the comparison flops here) or at the dish. He just has a joy about him. Baseball isn't work or a chore or something hard. Its just fun.
Great call, especially how locked in Randy was during their postseason run a few years ago.
And those two are best buddies, plus STL gave them both away within a few months..

The mlbn pre=game is vastly superior to the nonsense on FOX. Mainly b/c of Pedro Martinez.
Adrian Beltre is throwing out the first pitch. He was chatting with Pedro earlier, with his kid, Jr., alongside.

Lovullo looked tired when the camera scanned around to different people after the anthem. Not that he did anything wrong last night. Pretty good anthem by the way.
Seager is so good going to his right.
probably also going to his left but it seems like everything is going to his right this series.

I don't know who it was, but she stayed almost completely with what it's supposed to sound like.
