Get this, if you can: All that stands between the Rangers and the first World Series title in their half-century of existence is one win in three tries.
The reason they’re suddenly so close to realizing every Ranger fan’s dreams, even after everything that went bad before Tuesday’s game, wasn’t lost on the man who hired Bochy.
Grossman offered more pop and a good slash line against lefties. Jankowski is the better defender, an advantage not to be overlooked against a team that runs as well as the D-backs.Bochy went with Jankowski, citing his defense. And what happens? He singles and doubles in his first two at bats, scoring twice and driving in a pair of runs.
“Trust me, I’ve been there,” Bochy told reporters then. “That was my whole career. I knew what he was going through.”Bochy’s confidence, and the culture he’s helped create, might have had a little to do with the best season of Jankowski’s career, and not by a little. The early Rangers’ offensive barrage and Andrew Heaney’s pitching took Arizona out of its game, which is speed. Trailing by 10 runs going into the eighth, the Snakes were forced to take one base at a time. Which took pressure off Rangers pitchers, who didn’t have to worry about anyone running.
