American League Division Series Game 3:

October 12th, 2021

Texas Rangers - Los Angeles Angels @ Angels Stadium of Anaheim

TEX: SP Dallas Keuchel(L, 15-8 2.91)
LAA: SP Shohei Ohtani(R, 1-0 0.00)

Time to bring the lefty... in a more pitcher-friendly ballpark. If the first two games are any indication... we will play 20 innings with a 0-0 score tonight. Their bullpen, that was used excessively in the first two games, got some rest, so we need to get something going early and hope that the AL ERA king can keep them at bay.

Dallas Keuchel vs LA: 1-0 3.72 2GS
Shohei Ohtani vs TEX 0-1 4.78 4GS

And our game plan went out of the window... because Ohtani was fishing outside the zone a lot... and we first got him to throw 20 pitches in the first, and 23 more in the second with a walk to Joey Gallo... back to the old, we wait out their ace till he is tired tactic that worked with Sale last year?

Unfortunately, they returned the favor... and then some with Jorge Ramirez taking a walk... and Schebler and Cowart dumping singles... 1-0 LAA. Things got worse. Tyler Ward walked, and there was the leadoff man Jahmai Jones... who luckily struck out to end the frame...

Fittingly for our team, the next baserunner came... with Jorge Castellanos fighting off a fastball into right field... flipping the lineup over to Royce Lewis, our team leader in WAR despite missing 20 games... and he did what our team does these days... grind out an AB... get a 3-2 count... foul off two pitches... and then he smoked a cookie into right field.... WAY BACK AND GOOONE! 2-RUN HOME RUN! TEX 2, LAA 1!

One inning later, Bobby Bradley was hit by a pitch, forced at second by Gallo... and after a Brennan single, we got runners at the corners with two outs... and Sensley continued to drive Ohtani crazy... but fanned to end the fourth. His day was over one batter into the sixth, and that batter was a walk issued to Nomar Mazara that led to nothing as Cecil wiggled himself out of trouble.

Speaking of that, we loaded the bases in the seventh on a walk, a batter that reached on a strikeout... and a wild pitch, and another walk... and then Nomar Mazara hit a laser to left... that a diving Arenado robbed.

For Dallas Keuchel, the day was over after 6.1 innings of 5-hit, 1ER 2BB and 7K ball that saw him allow a single by Andrelton Simmons in the seventh... that Alex Claudio easily cleaned up... six more outs to go.

Betances had a field day in the eighth, and Scioscia brought in Mr. Closer Middleton for the top of the ninth... Brennan walked, Sensley singled... and after a K, Diekman was brought in to face... Royce Lewis... and our shortstop sensation took a typical Rangers approach... and walked to load the bases. McKinney flew out hard to center... Trout, will all the desperation of not winning a World Series... loaded up... and was way too late to the party at home plate.

Mazara K'ed to end the ninth, and Tommy Kahnle came out to end the season of the Angels 1-2-3. We are in the ALCS!!!
