(Photo by Bailey Orr/TTexas Rangers NewsA diehard Rangers fan who did a little trash talking on FOX 4 after the Rangers lost Game 5 in the ALCS became a notorious fan in the eyes of Astros fans.
The Rangers said they’re going to pay attention to detail this time around, especially since the Diamondbacks took three of the four meetings between the teams in the regular season. "I remember we didn’t play our best baseball. They got a good team. They’re fast. They’re scrappy. They find ways to score runs, whether it’s scoring homers or stringing three, four hits together. We’re going to have to be really intentional with our pitching and slow down the base pass, doing the little things right like getting the cutoffs and making sure we’re throwing to the right bases," said Rangers’ catcher Jonah Heim.
The All-Star pitcher said he has a cut that is painful but won’t impact his performance against Arizona. The Rangers will have a home-field advantage for Game 1 Friday night at Globe Life Field. But so far this postseason, they’ve performed better on the road.
