Zero percent chance. He pitched yesterday.I see the Rangers are down right now.....What do you think are the odds of seeing Darvish tonight?
Gentry called out on strikes on a pitch that nearly hit him. No swing either. PitchTrax showed it wasn't even touching the strike zone. 🤬

Sounds like a pretty exciting game.
Meanwhile, my Redlegs decided to finish off the regular season with 5 straight losses.
At least it wasn't 15 games (Sorry, John). As usual, we can't score runs. I'm sure the Pirates will be moving on to face the Cardinals after tomorrow night. We sure as hell aren't going to put up enough runs to win.

Honestly, I would not be surprised if Wash is gone next season.
So many big, must-win games over the years that Texas just choked away. A few that come to mind are games 4 and 5 of the 2010 WS, games 6 and 7 of the 2011 WS, games 158-162 last year, the 2012 AL wild card playoff, and now this.
It's infuriating. A strike away TWICE from a World Series, but the baseball gods hate the Rangers. It's been downhill ever since David Freese forced that game 7. We dominate April through August, we MAY or MAY NOT dominate in September. If we get to October, we get through the DS and CS, but choke in the World Series. That's what it's been like since 2010. Better than the years prior, but it's just as infuriating.

Obviously I want Pittsburgh to win tonight. And Cleveland to win tomorrow. Underdogs FTW. 
A's to go all the way!

Oaklands pitching isn't that great but they have managed to get where they are by outscoring the other teams through most of the season with some great hitting.

Reds are toast, barring a miracle 9th. Looking towards next year now. 
I think Dusty's in the same boat as Washington. When an important game is on the line, it's choke city.

And the season comes to an end. Grilli throws up a whopping 7 pitches to end finish us off, with both Frazier and Cozart hitting into outs on the 1st mother:censored:ing pitch. I have no idea why we kept swinging at the first pitch tonight. So many outs came about from them. So we finish with 2 runs. Seems about right.

True. But when their pitchers are on their A-game, they can't be beat. Colon for example. Same with AJ Griffin and Jarrod Parker. Their front 3 always provided a decent punch, but their back 2...well, Dan Straly was inconsistent, and the 5th starter always seemed to be someone different.
Kind of like us last year. We ended the season on a 4 game losing streak, then lost the Wild Card game.
Though, Jon Heyman from CBS Sports is reporting that Wash will be back next year. And, this article does bring up quite a few good points about Wash.

As for the rest of the postseason, I'm not going to be watching much of it until the World Series. I watched a bit of the NL Wild Card game tonight. I'm hoping the Tigers will beat Oakland again in the ALDS, and I'm hoping Cleveland beats Tampa tomorrow night to face Boston. I'm primarily going to be going for the Red Sox and Dodgers, since those two teams each have an ex-Ranger that the fans here loved - Michael Young on the Dodgers, and Mike Napoli on the Sox. Both deserve a ring, but I'd rather see the Dodgers win since I think Michael Young will be hanging it up soon.

I reported long ago that Vin Scully will return to call another season (his 65th(?)) of baseball. But the 2014 season will reportedly be his final season. Vin Scully is truly one of the finest voices in any sport. More power to Vin Scully. Keep that motor running.

I like the Braves & the Cardinals, but honestly, when it comes to baseball, I'm a casual fan/bandwagon fan at best. In the AL, I was pulling for the Red Sox & the Rangers, but I like the Tigers, too. Heck, I even rooted for the Yankees with Ichiro on there this year.
NL, I like most everybody..... except the Dodgers, because of smack talk that goes between me & my friends who are Dodger fans.
In short, probably 3/4 of the league.

Cleveland is playing like Arizona tonight. Leaving bases loaded and all.
