The Texas Rangers managed to end a 63-year drought without winning a World Series on Wednesday, thanks in large part to the work of manager Bruce Bochy, who added the fourth title of his career to his resume on Wednesday, including three by the Giants. from San Francisco.
But first Bochy had to overcome setbacks. Twice he lost the pitchers he wanted to lead his rotation with. Jacob deGrom fell first, losing to Max Scherzer in the middle of the World Series.
Born in France 68 years ago, ‘Boch’, also known as ‘Headly’, managed to keep the script and opted for Jon Gray and Andrew Heaney, who did not disappoint.
The former catcher for the Houston Astros, the New York Mets and the San Francisco Padres signed the Cuban Aroldis Chapman from the Kansas City Royals and gave confidence to the Dominican José Lecerc.
‘Boch’ lost Cuban Adolis García along the way, but his team again gave Travis Jankowski who took a step forward in the fourth game of the World Series with two runs and two RBIs.
The Rangers manager also believed in a 21-year-old rookie, Evan Carter, who was in his first playoff appearance. He was the third man in the attacking order. And he stood out as if he were a veteran player in a postseason where he batted for a .309 average, with one home run, six RBIs and nine runs scored.
In addition, he successfully reported on today’s World Series Most Valuable Player award, Corey Seager.
‘Headly’ also gave time to Marcus Semien, his chosen man to start the attack, who had a long period of low production. The wait was successful, as their second baseman produced two home runs and eight RBIs in the final three games, all of which ended in wins.
With patience and confidence, Bochy led the visiting team from Texas to eleven consecutive victories.
“This is a team that fights and is not afraid to play away from home,” said Bochy, who won the World Series against the Rangers.
