Sorry, late to the party but Go Rangers!!

Is anyone else even watching this? Seems there's not much fan base outside of the DFW/Phoenix metro areas lol.

As an Arizona native, I give zero fucks haha. Most Az sports fans are fair weather, so it's funny to see a bunch of people go crazy for the Diamondbacks again. But damn, DB got their asses handed to them last night.

Texas looks tough. It's going to be hard for the DBs' to dig out of the hole they are in.

I’ve been watching the Diamondbacks being out here in Arizona. I’m a Pirates fan so it’s nice to be able to root for a team that is competitive.

I’m figuring tonight probably ends it. Didn’t really expect to see the Diamondbacks make it this far this year anyway. Young team though so at least that bodes well for the future.

Really wish I bought a handful of tickets for the WS before game seven of the NLCS. Could have made a few thousand per ticket.

Fuck yes!! Bad ass game, and glad to live in Texas as always.

[Telephant]

I got home from practice, turned on game, saw the very last pitch. Wish I could have watched the whole thing.

[Diddlybo]

I watched most of the last game with my my dad but to be honest, we were just channel surfing and didn't realize the WS was being played. It was more like, "Hey, this looks good. Lets watch."

That's a far cry from what baseball used to be. I remember when the WS games were all held during the day and we were allowed to bring a TV into the classroom to watch the game.

Congrats to you Texas fellas on your team's win.

Man, this series was pretty good. Clearly I'm biased, but I'm also right.

DBacks starting pitcher was flawless through 6 innings. Things started to unravel in the top of the 7th and got blown out in the 8th. The DBacks offense lost a lot of runners on base through the first 1/2 the game then they kind of fizzled out.

idk, my younger brother was a HUGE Rangers fan and I really wish he could have seen this. I was excited for him.

I'm guessing they would have pulled the starting pitcher in the 7th if he had not had a no hitter going. Pulling a pitcher who is throwing a no hitter isn't a popular thing to do but it might have been a better choice this time.

But, the Dbacks bullpen collapsed in the 9th anyway.

See Mets vs Royals when Matt Harvey tried to be the main character and stay in. He got annihilated. There aren't no hitters in the WS

[Dave]

Yeah, I was surprised they left Gallen in for the 7th. I don't think they had any gas left to put up more of a fight. The number of times Eovaldi pitched himself out of a jam was insane.

[TurboPablo]

As a lifelong Red Sox fan, I am happy for Nate Evoldi. That dude is money. Probably one of the best big game pitchers of this era. He threw some huge games for the Sox. It's good to see him continue to push through his perpetual elbow issues and dominate when the spotlight is brightest.

Congrats Texas. That was a hell of a team this year.

I thought Jordan Montgomery could not pitch in the post season according to Yankees front office ..

Dbacks had a nice run but, The Rangers just MASHED and HIT all season from start to finish long!, congrats to them
