Thank you for being a tolerable Jays fan and at least have some knowledge of how baseball works. I was really hoping Rangers would have pulled out yesterday's game and gotten Hamels/Darvish another shot. To me if they had lost yesterday's game with the pitching matchup as favorable as it was; they were in trouble. As good as Estrada/Happ were in games 1&2; I'd still favor Hamels/Darvish in any pitching matchup.. would have been fun to watch.
Regardless, I didn't think the Rangers had any shot game 3 with Colby Lewis vs Sanchez; they needed to win at least one of Hamels/Darvish's starts to bring it back around to them.. they didn't and the Bluejays took care of business in game 3 when they had the favorable matchup. Congrats to Jays fans.
No problem, I've been posting here since this thread started, just don't lurk as much since I don't play d2 anymore, played for 14 years too so I hope I know some stuff lol.
Yea I would have been worried to face hamels again for sure, he wouldn't have back to back bad starts, and I'm sure Darvish would bounce back too, but Estrada is also pretty damn good, probably the most consistent starter in the American League the last two seasons.
Tbh I was worried about Sanchez starting and i was right, I knew he'd have a ton of adrenaline, hoping his next start goes a little different. If Estrada, Happ, and Sanchez are what they were all year this team can take it as long as the bullpen stays hot
