The Texas Rangers (An Incredible (10-0) On The Road This Post-Season, Lead The World Series 3 Games To 1.

The Texas Rangers nee, the second incarnation of the Washington Senators, in their 62nd completed season (no completed season in ’94), are on the precipice of their first title, after winning games 3 and 4 at Arizona (Diamondbacks) to raise their post-season road record to a mind boggling, (10-0).

Texas scored 3 runs T3, in #3, and won the game (3-1), raising their manager Bruce Bochy’s Monday post-season record after his time with San Diego, to (6-1) (6-0) in night tilts.

It was the same score by which Bochy’s S.F. Giants won their first crown in 56 years , doing so in a Monday night #5, at Texas, in the first of 2 straight years of Rangers’ World Series losses, that one a clear, exponentially less painful one than the one a year later to St. Louis (Cards) in 7 games.

In #3 this year, Marcus Simien’s two out 1b “tuned” Nathaniel Lowe, who had 2B’d to start the Texas 3rd after Ad Garcia threw out Christian Walker, who ran through a “stop sign” and “violated” making the inning’s first out at third or beyond (b2).

This meant Bochy (check his record with the lead/”wood” in post San Diego post-season play) could still and eventually did get the “wood,” first via Simien and then it went to (3-0) Bochy “wood” when likely World Series MVP for a second time in 4 seasons (Sandy won 2 in 3 seasons, ’63 and ’65–Reggie had 2 in 5 seasons ’73 and ’77, his as would be the case, if it is Seager (still a ways to go and how about another “Tex” ease job vs AZ and Fox in #5, if not look out) with two different teams) Corey Seager smacked a 2 run home run.

Two 5 run innings for Texas in #4, a big double play keyed by Seager B8 in #3, John Gray and yes, Max Scherzer, hurling 3 shutout “inns” each in the third game, also deserve mention.

Marcus Simien, pictured above, delivered key hits ahead of Seager home runs in both #’s 3 and 4, as Texas won (3-1) and (11-7) to lead (3-1).

Remastered “Norwegian WOOD” can be heard below.

Bochy, not “The Beatles,” though he too is “Hall of Fame,” has mastered winning and in almost all cases with the “wood”/lead. Maybe I will research the #’s.
