Well that was disappointing...

Well it turned out that all three games in this series were basically the same: the Rays lost by a run and Corey Seager killed them in the process. Today was the latest and it started off very poorly when Zach Eflin gave up three straight two-out hits in the 1st to plate three Texas runs. The bats valiantly came back against Jacob deGrom to tie it up in the 4th but Eflin immediately surrendered a homer in the bottom of the inning to put the Rangers back on top and Seager homered off Shane Baz in the 6th as one of his five hits on the day, which turned out to be the winner after Isaac Paredes' pinch-homer in the 9th. Baz was only on the playoff roster after Ryan Pepiot went on the IL after leaving Game 2 with forearm stiffness.

So now it's time to embark on an interesting offseason which will likely see some significant change on a team that stayed fairly intact over the last two seasons and won 195 games as we have a lot of guys at AAA who are ready for the bigs.

In the other ALDS:

And in yesterday's NLDS action:

Since the Rays are now eliminated, the next post will be a recap of the other 3 division series and then single posts for the LCS and World Series.
