She cried "Bingo", you finally clued in
I guess I never thought to look there
What you took you can give back
But I never kept track
The Texas Rangers aren't through with the Blue Jays yet. Thanks to Marco Estrada's timely outing and Troy Tulowitzki's even timelier home run, Toronto gets to play another game this afternoon in Arlington. The former long-time-ago Ranger R.A. Dickey gets the call for the Blue Jays, facing the organization that drafted him for the first time since 2014. In fact, Dickey has only faced the Rangers three times in his current knuckleballing incarnation, going 0-2 in 2014 (9 ER in 13.1 IP) and 1-0 in 2013 (1 run in 5.2 IP). Ah, the small sample size. Derek Holland counters for Texas: he is 3-2, 5.15 in eight career appearances versus the Blue Jays, though he's allowed eight home runs in 43.2 innings.

It was a slight surprise when Holland was announced as the starter for
the Rangers, considering they have a 17 game winner kicking about in
Colby Lewis, who also has an impressive postseason resume (4-1, 2.34 in
eight starts, 32 hits allowed in 50 innings). An explanation might be
his career numbers against the Blue Jays, where he is 3-6, 6.97 in
eleven games (ten starts) with 15 long shots allowed in just 51.2
innings. Still, perhaps Lewis is summoned at the first sign of
shenanigans for Holland.
It's funny how you get a feel for it when you finally lose your sense of fear.
