    If any of our guys gets suspended, I’d be pissed. No way that pitch was intentional in that situation. Rangers should direct their anger towards the umpiring crew for taking so damn long and icing their pitcher.

    Altuve's home run was number 1 on SportsCenter Top Plays and Kissinger's leap and catch on the liner was number 4.

    Was rangers pitcher get ejected for this? No

    Were there warnings for throwing at face/head area? No

    Make it fair. This is G4 not G5.

    It’s 4:30 am. I think I’ve seen the Altuve replay 50 times already.

    That HR was maybe as satisfying as the Chapman homer in Game 6. It’s hard to say. This one was on the road, with benches clearing, players ejected, Dusty ejected, and the game and probably the series on the line. It was huge. But the Chapman homer literally won the team a pennant. Both will be remembered for sure for a long time.

    Seeing Dusty all fired up like that made me think of Yamamoto's quote

    They would do a huge disservice if they didn't do one with Altuve, Breggy, Correa, and Springer together. Those 4 created this culture responsible for the ridiculous sustainability.

    Pressley has been Mariano Rivera since 2017 in the postseason. He is unhittable when locked in.

    I would put the Abreu play in the 8th ahead of Kessinger. On a scale of 1 to 10, with as far in as he was playing fearing the bunt, that was a 9.

    Speaking of, I always wished the official scoring in a game like this would credit the closer with both the win and the save.

    Did he not save his own win?

    Nothing but love for Carlos and George, but there is a zero percent chance they get a statue

    The term Fireman has fallen out of use , but it perfectly fits Pressly.

    Pressly smashing Diaz in the chest is the best thing

    I was worried he was going to have a heart attack. Seriously.

    I'm glad to see the bench guys get their due.
