I predicted the same to my lady,,,,,this ball is going to the fans to end this. The Backs pissed away this game.
When Walker comes to bat,,,I go take a whiz as we know he swipes at anything....pathetic.
Bullpen blew this game, and Castro should be in A league.
Disappointed is an understatement.

The problem
Torrey had settled into the math against Philly of letting anyone but Harper and Schwarber beat us. We were also fortunate that Trae Turner had an awful series.
Walks to the 9 hitter don’t allow for that. But yes should’ve walked or pitched around Garcia.

Tough loss. Arizona definitely has what it takes but they gotta execute late. Can’t leave a high fastball to Seager in that location but it’s Sewald’s first blown save of the postseason.
DBacks need to put it behind them and start hot in game 2. Last thing you want is game 1 to bleed into game 2 and not come out with the right intensity/focus

It is nearly always an adventure with Sewald's Folly. There was a reason the Mariners traded away their closer when they were still in the race for a playoff spot. This was bound to happen and was some kind of weird karma payback for what the St. Louis Cardinals did to the Texas Rangers in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series (coincidentally, that happened 12 years ago on 10/27/2011). Mere coincidence? I don't think so.
No surprise with Seager's HR, he's one of the best hitters in baseball. The walk Taveras earned to leadoff the inning is what forced Seawald into a bad situation. Taveras has been expanding the zone of late so I understand what seawald was trying to do. Taveras wasn't great yesterday in the OF, but he has been an unsung hero for Texas. cannot write off the d-backs or the rangers in any of these games. AZ were the first team that chased Eovaldi and the rangers had not won a late rally game for the entire playoffs. I did not see either of those two scenarios playing out for game 1. I don't think we can go off of last series opponents as a sign for what will come in this series. no pun intended for the astros. I think an astros/Phillies WS is what everyone else predicted. the two best teams in baseball are going to decide this thing.

Lovullo will be outmanaged throughout this series - Bochy is that good and has several WS championships to his credit. Dbacks players will have to outperform the Rangers players - simple as that. Didn't happen in Game 1, particularly with the Sewald choke job in the 9th.

easy to Monday morning QB it. but Taveras deserves some credit as well. he had been striking out on balls out of the zone. if seawald throws him something that he could handle and Taveras gets on base everyone is asking why not try to strike him out. I would probably be saying the same thing though, attack the #9 hitter and if he beats you tip your cap.
I thought Gallen did better than expected yesterday, based on the doom and gloom I heard building up to the game and especially the way the Rangers looked early. he limited the damage for sure and gave his team a chance. Some analysts are saying that he is worn down from pitching a lot of innings. I don't know if that is true. I know he is expected to dominate, but that's hard to do. Eovaldi was expected to do well and he did not live up to the expectations either.
Exactly momentum shifting causes pressure. players that can remain calm and execute in those high pressure situations are the ones that win. I go back to 2011 WS when both the rangers and the cardinals had that epic game 6 where both sides just kept answering. There were a lot of great players in that series. Unfortunately the cardinals had a much better pitcher for game 7. Dbacks/Yankees in 2001 was also a great example as well.
He might be worn down but hitters are also laying off the junk instead of flailing away and then he gets into hitters counts and they aren’t missing. I’m not going to pretend I know what adjustment should be made but he needs to switch things up.

Gallen has a 1.500 whip in the playoffs and 1.38 K/BB ratio. In the reg season it was 1.119 whip and 4.68 K/BB.
That’s what Texas did last night. They stick with their game plan and when the opportunity was there they executed
Because the hitters aren’t doing him favors by swinging at out of zone pitches

Sewald’s Folly? We most likely aren’t in the World Series if we don’t make that trade.

His arm is cooked. Just two years ago his career high in innings pitched was 121.
He's at 237 IP this year so it's nearly double in two years.
First half OPS allowed .619. First half WHIP 1.048
2nd half OPS allowed .738 2nd half WHIP 1.211
And now the playoffs
NLWS WHIP 1.33
NLDS WHIP 1.313
NLCS WHIP 1.636
WS WHIP 1.600
