Rangers Biggest Test

Unfortunately the Rangers were unable to put away Tampa Bay in Arlington this weekend. I would like to say I am surprised but Tampa Bay didn't finish the season with 96 wins by luck and the Rangers inability to hit with runners in scoring position and costly errors are some of the reasons we are at game 5 now. This looks to be a very close low scoring game. If Cliff Lee pitches for the Rangers like he did in game 1 they will be in good shape but David Price is unlikely to have two poor outings in a row so for the Rangers to win they must play smart fundamental baseball and get key hits with runners in scoring position. This is the type of game where timely hitting will make you and errors will break you. In game 4, outfielder Nelson Cruz's failure to call Ian Kinsler off for a short fly ball which ended up in an error and the Rays first run cannot happen tomorrow if the Rangers want to win. They would also benefit if Vladimir Guerrero will stop swing at pitches low and outside the strike zone with runners on first and second with one out. I know Guerrero has hit home runs this way but so far all he has gotten is strike outs or double plays in the playoffs and has killed any rallies that the Rangers were leading up to. For the Rangers to win they must be agressive and smart. This is the biggest game in franchise history and let's all hope the Rangers bring out their best game tomorrow.

Go Rangers!!!!!!!!!!
