After last night's win in Game 3, the Rangers are right back in the series. They win tonight, it's a new series.
If they lose, the Giants take a 3-1 stranglehold on the series with 2 games in San Francisco if it gets that far. A nice safety net.
So I'm looking at the scheduled starters and Tommy Hunter is listed for the Rangers. Really? Tommy Hunter?
Hunter is a decent pitcher but no way should he pitch Game 4 over Cliff Lee.
This is the World Freaking Series. You have to go with Lee to tie the series, even on three days rest. If the Rangers were up 3-0 or even 2-1 I would go with Hunter. But not down 2-1.
Bottom line is, how serious is Texas manager Ron Washington about tying the series?
Now, if Lee has said he won't pitch on three days rest, then if I'm Washington I go with Hunter and after the series is over and if the free-agent Lee signs elsewhere, then I call him out on it.
Lee has to pitch tonight.
