00:00 We did not expect the RS for the most part. Tampa at home at the Trump with

00:08 Tyler Glass now on the bump yesterday to be in a position where their season is

00:13 on the brink but uncharacteristic defense out of Kevin Cash's team a team

00:19 Donna you would not think would look up at the bright lights of October and be

00:23 blinded by it but four errors yesterday for Tampa Bay only six hits very little

00:30 offense for the Rays as well in the Rangers win game number one the upset on

00:36 the road in the Trump for nothing over Tampa Bay yeah my power rankings

00:41 pictures wise yesterday I thought glass that was the best picture overall in the

00:44 mound you know wheeler was up there as well but you take a look at five innings

00:47 pitch six hits three earned runs you say okay kept us in it but that's not what

00:50 an ace is supposed to do and certainly an ace getting eight K's yes you love

00:54 that but five walks that's not gonna work you combine five walks with four

00:57 errors in a playoff game that's a recipe for disaster and then the getting beat

01:01 yesterday now you can also try to blame the offense and say look Tampa Bay we

01:04 know they're not the most juggernaut a team here would quite frankly April May

01:08 and June you could argue they might have been the best offensive team in Major

01:11 League Baseball but that's going away a little bit and playoff baseball you

01:14 don't really lean on your offense four runs is enough to win a playoff game you

01:17 see that multiple times yesterday and also for the Rangers to get four there

01:20 well let's be honest Jordan Montgomery on the man was not supposed to out deal

01:23 glass now and he absolutely did look at that line seven innings pitch six earned

01:28 runs excuse me seven innings pitch six hits zero earned runs no walks and five

01:33 strikeouts that was a mint performance which was fantastic which is what you

01:37 need you don't have the aces to go toe-to-toe with the Rays but what you

01:40 need to do is play good fundamental sound baseball they did that the Rays

01:43 didn't now the Rays are on the brink of elimination and Zach Eflin's gonna have

01:47 to save them today

01:50 (upbeat music)
