Not a ton of confidence, but we wouldn’t want anybody other than playoff Javi on the mound
Bottom line is…if you can’t win 1 of 4 games at home you don’t deserve to advance
With Javi’s inability to go very deep into games it’ll be a real kick in the arse if they announce Abreu is suspended. Even if he’s not, I feel like we may need Hunter Brown or France to step up and throw an inning.
All a moot point if the offense continues to produce at home like they have been

I don't know what to say really. 12 hours until the biggest battle of our professional lives all comes down to today. Now either we heal now as a team or we're gonna crumble... Inch by inch, play by play, til we're finished.
We’re in hell right now, gentlemen, believe me. And, we can stay here -- get the shite kicked out of us -- or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell one inch at a time.
Now, I can’t do it for you. I’m [not even on the team]. I look around. I see these young faces, and I think -- I mean -- I made every wrong choice a [36 year old fan] can make. I, uh, I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who’s ever loved me. And lately, I can’t even stand the face I see in the mirror.
You know, when you get old[er] in life things get taken from you. I mean that's...part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life’s this game of inches. So is [baseball]. Because in either game, life or [baseball], the margin for error is so small -- I mean one-half a step too late, or too early, and you don’t quite make it. One-half second too slow, too fast, you don’t quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They’re in every break of the game, every minute, every second.
On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch, because we know when we add up all those inches that’s gonna make the frickin' difference between winning and losing! Between livin' and dyin'!
I’ll tell you this: In any fight, it’s the guy who’s willing to die who’s gonna win that inch. And I know if I’m gonna have any life anymore, it’s because I’m still willin' to fight and die for that inch. Because that’s what livin' is! The six inches in front of your face!!
Now I can’t make you do it. You got to look at the guy next to you. Look into his eyes! Now I think you’re gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team because he knows, when it comes down to it, you’re gonna do the same for him!
That’s a team, gentleman!
And, either we heal, now, as a team, or we will die as individuals.
That’s [baseball] guys.
That's all it is.
Now, what are you gonna do?

Last game of the Dusty Baker era. I’m ready for whatever.

This has been one of the most exhausting years. So many chances to move ahead of the pack that were wasted, and that home record is baffling. I am honestly surprised we made it this far, but I will give them credit for not giving up.

My expectations are super low. Tucker looks like a relapsed alcoholic just going through the motions of the job so he can punch the time clock and go to the bar.
Peña's confidence can't be feeling to high on life after having John fing Singleton pinch hit for him in the 8th with the bases loaded.
Zero plate discipline to take a few pitches and run up some counts to get the relief on the mound.
Pray for a miracle but expecting to get exactly what we've been given all season long.

Not feeling super confident today, but regardless, please please please finish these frickers off and win tonight please.
Hope to God we actually put together a good game at home and don't see a repeat of Scherzer in game 7 World Series in 2019.

Got a feeling Javi struggles tonight and the offense does its same ghost act. We close out the year with a 1-5 playoff record and 7-22 in our last 29 home games.

The Rangers are playing with House Money.
Disastros are pressing.

Love the Rangers and want to see them finally get over the hump.
Hate the Astros.
That said, what a great series.
Game 7! Whoever wins it definitely earned it.
