Marcus Semien and the Texas Rangers are no longer “little bro” after putting an end to the reign of dominance of Dusty Baker and the Houston Astros with an 11-4 road win in Game 7 of the American League Championship Series on Tuesday night.“Fans have been waiting for this moment for 12 years and I cannot wait to be a part of it,” Semien told reporters in the Rangers’ clubhouse as his teammates doused each other in a champagne celebration.
At the plate in Game 7, Semien was just 1-for-5 with a walk and a run scored, but on defense, turned a critical double play with the Astros’ left fielder Michael Brantley up in the bottom of the first inning to preserve the Rangers’ 3-1 lead. After dropping to 0-8 in winner-take-all games and falling short in the mission to lead the Astros to a second straight World Series title, conventional thinking is the 74-year-old Baker, who is seventh overall in MLB history with 2, 183 wins, will retire. His contract with Houston is up and with 55 years of Major League Baseball under his belt, Baker should not waste his time on joining any team that is not on the brink of winning a title.
