I call it reverse karma, we blew that WS against StL, now we're back in the WS courtesy of StL cause Garcia was a HUGE part of it. Gotta love baseball. 😁

Getting Garcia from the Cardinals for cash might be one of the most one-sided trades in baseball history.

I’m curious to see the umpire scorecard in this one.  I missed most of the game, but saw a bunch of stuff on Twitter about Kelley getting a really generous strike zone vs the rangers pitchers being squeezed.  Montgomery somehow pitched 6 innings without recording a single strikeout, which is pretty crazy.  I get that it was 9-1, but most of that came late off of our bullpen scrubs.  I’m not making excuses or saying this changed the outcome, but I’ve watched probably 100 games this year and it’s time for robo-ump to call balls and strikes I think.

Kelly pitched a gem, plain and simple, no help from the ump. Personally, I hope balls and strikes are always called by a person.

Just saw the report.  He missed 12 calls, and 10 went against the rangers.  In a game that was 2-1 going into the 7th, that’s pretty dang significant, and as good as Kelly was, there’s no way that didn’t play a part.  There was absolutely help from the ump.  Gotta be better than that in the World Series.

It goes both ways, it’s part of the game.  Smart pitchers know how to deal with it.  No need to change.

Umpire wasn’t the difference on a game like that.

It’s so much easier to simply say my team got their arse handed to them and go on to the next game. Garver went down and hit (from a pitcher’s view) a great pitch. That hit was 1 of 4 for the Rangers. The bullpen for the Rangers was a non factor. To say the ump cheated is grasping and absolutely looking for excuses. Diamondbacks had 16 hits. 
Looking for a Texas WS victory, but I congratulate the Diamondbacks on a solid win. They didn’t get to the WS from bad umping.

Agree, I’m also pulling for the Rangers now that Houston is out, but I doubt we would be hearing about the lousy umpires if Texas won last night.

Like I said, it’s part of the game.

      Barbers Hill (28) vs La Porte (55) - FINAL

      By Separation Scientist · Posted

      That should tell everyone something pretty clearly. Does anyone really think BH is recruiting elementary kids, to get them to transfer in Jr. high? Seriously? Here is the "dirty little secret" about BH: Most people move to the district for a quality living environment to raise their young family, and benefit from the outstanding acedemics at BH. Even If all athlectics suddenly disappeared from BH, people would still want their kids in the district. If thats not enough to convince anyone, and BH really was determined to recruit, first step would be to have open enrollemnt. It is closed.        Yes, I get it, no one ever wants to give BH the benefit of the doubt on anything. Some of the accusations are beyond ridiculous though. This paranoia the BH critics are afflicted with is not just sad, its flat out laughable.

      Opting is always an option. Are they considering any BC assistants? Highly qualified after that season they put up.

      Waco La Vega (42) vs West Orange-Stark (20) - FINAL

      Be that as it may, only time will tell. Hide and watch. Don’t be surprised if the next HC hire uses his own recipe. That happens more than not historically. I am not arguing the point that Hooks & CT had a winning combination that could’ve been carried over. I’m saying that finding someone to do that is not going to be as easy as one might think. Tell me again why Saban’s replacement, who even has Saban’s assistance if he wants it, just lost another game to an unranked team and has taken the Tide out of playoff contention? Why wouldn’t he just follow the success of possibly the greatest college football coach ever lived?

      We've acknowledged having 2 HOF coaches hasn't been like most other schools. So why everyone jumps to the conclusion it wouldn't work here is beyond my comprehension. I see it carry over with these other hires. Gilmer, Aledo, North Shore, Austin Westlake. Next man up that continues the system in place has instant success. Matter fact there was 2 rookie HC that won the state championship the same year we handed over the keys. Same book. Same recipe. Better ingredients.
