Rangers fans, Cardinals fans, MLB fans alike... GET ON YOUR FEET!
Well not really, unless you're actually at the game, then I'm sure it's fine.
The Cardinals' World Series hopes are on the line Wednesday night as they face off against the Rangers in a season-defining Game 6 matchup. While the bats and the bullpen controversy have taken center stage during much of the series, Game 6 revolves around the starting pitching matchup.
After one of the strangest innings of bullpen management, Tony La Russa finds his team facing elimination. However, he sends Jaime Garcia to the mound, who has been stellar in his last two postseason starts.
Garcia took the no-decision in Game 3 after hurling seven shutout innings, allowing three hits, one walk, and striking out seven.
Though Garcia has been very impressive over his last two starts, the Rangers send Colby Lewis after 6.2 innings of one-run ball in game three. The 32-year-old right-hander took one of the stranger paths to the major leagues.
After stints with three separate teams between '02 and '07, Lewis found himself playing in Japan for the Hiroshima Carp. After two years, he returned to the States where he signed a two-year deal with the Rangers.
After a couple big seasons and a second World Series appearance, he has a chance to help his team earn a championship, which they were so close to last year.
Whether you're a fan of the Rangers, Cardinals or simply baseball in general, Wednesday night's crucial Gamd 6 is sure not to disappoint. Either we shall crown a new champion, or we will be forced into a decisive Game 7 situation.
Gear up and follow along, because it's time to play ball.
