It's so frustrating. Let's hope Young retires or gets waived this winter. Can't take it anymore. At least he had a decent night, no excuse not to play Profar though.

Young actually had a good series. I'm not sure if starting him at SS was a case of sticking with the veteran or sticking with the hot hand... or both.When I heard Elvis had the night off, I assumed we'd see Profar. Hearing it would be Young instead annoyed me, since I figured Feldman could use all the defensive help he could get. Young came through with the big hit though, so it's just another reminder that Wash is smarter than I am.

All they have left is a Best-of-5 series left. Let him DH and anything that doesn't go over the fence is a single? Try and get his timing back but don't push the legs at all. Zero catching and little to no 1B I would think.
Do you think? I'm betting we see Young at 3rd Hamilton at DH and Gentry or Martin in CF.

I just think against a crappy Cleveland team, you would like to see Profar get the start. Maybe wishful thinking that Kinsler would be at 3rd over the red-hot Face.
I want to see Profar start too, I just don't think the OSB is going to pass up a chance to showcase Young's glove and crazy range at 3B. I hope you're right!

Sub Beltre for Young and that could be your 2013 starting lineup.
Beltre talked his way into DH tonight. Profar out.

Bite your tongue.anyway, if this were the Angels we would just be tighening out belts for the fight, but the flipping As.

7 of the last 10 games are Oakland vs. Texas. If one team plays out of their minds while the other team slumps, a lot can change in those last few days. I don't think it's likely to get to that point with the schedule Oakland is facing before that time, but it's not quite as simple as playing 500 ball when we can still beat up on each other.

You guys have played well against everyone so at this point "tough" games really don't seem to matter. As a Rangers' fan I hope, that it does not comedown to even having to win even one game in Oakland in Oct. that would be the case if the standing manage to stay at three games out.'Dr. Awesome said:7 of the last 10 games are Oakland vs. Texas.

you sure about that?Hard call to make. You want the top seed as well, of course. I guess it's win/win, lose/lose. Oak/NY split their series and Texas takes care of Seattle and everyone wins.'culdeus said:So. Go Yankees?

Right now, being the top seed would have you playing eitherOak or Balt, with the winner using up some pitching if not their best pitching in the play in game. Home-field advantage. Second seed gets you playing the AL Central Champ, mostly likely Chicago.I don't know if there is a matchup I like good enough to give up Home Field in the ALCS.

Well, the first two games in As-Yankess series could not have gone better in terms of winning the division. Two extra inning losses by As, one going 14 and taxing the bullpen only to lose on an error.
The Rangers now mathmatically take OAKland out with a 4 game sweep, although that is tough one wo bet on. either way i think next week the ginger ale flows in arlington.

I was doing games up, but yes, you got the magic numbers right.

I agree. Baltimore and Oakland winning the WC is still the best situation for the division winners.

Ahh... gotcha. Potentially dropping into a tie for the division isn't something I can even wrap my head around.Looks like I'm going to the game Wednesday.

Crazy. Anything short of a World Series MVP, and I think Josh gets the CJ treatment this offseason.
Josh will get an offer at least. It may not be what he's looking for, but he will at least get an offer. 3/$70mm with vesting options for years 4&5. He will likely get better offers elsewhere.
That's a great question. I have no idea. I could see the Brewers being a player with the Johnny Narron connection. Not sure who in the AL would be willing to step up and take that risk. Houston I guess could with a new owner trying to make a splash moving over to AL.

I think if it's not Texas, it's going to be a mystery team. I have to think both LA teams are not in play, NYY is probably not in play, Boston just got rid of a ton of money, are they going to take on another big, risky contract? Detroit has shown they are willing to spend, but they have other needs I would think.How about Houston? New owners, need a splash going into the AL. Low media pressure.
