Rangers just won the World Series. They lost their TV money. They have 3 starting pitchers who won't be active until July. Ownership doesn't want to pay CBT .
I don't expect any significant signings this off-season. And I don't expect to contend in 2024.
They get a one year mulligan from...
I like Jordan Montgomery. He was a big part of the championship run.
But...I'm hearing 6 years 160 mil?
No way I'm doing that deal. Sad to lose him but that's one year and about 40 mil more than I'm comfortable with. Let him go.
I suspect the Dodgers will be signing Hader. And mlb will sit on their hands and do nothing. Why? Because the baseball players union is the strongest not just in sports, but one of the strongest unions period.
The CBT is simply not enough when you can defer almost 100 mil a year ( combined...
deGrom goes down and misses most of the season.
Rangers are basically a .500 team for final 4 months of season, including a 4-16 stretch.
Statistically one of the worst bullpen in baseball.
And today the Texas Rangers are World Series champions.
Inconceivable. Unbelievable. Incredible...
It feels absolutely amazing. Indescribable really. Been rooting for the Texas Rangers since 1978.
Never thought this day would happen. 2011 was a heartbreak I knew I just couldn't go through again.
Live on the west coast and almost made the drive to Phoenix today for the game but couldn't...
With the resurgence of Jon Gray the Scherzer loss is tough but not catastrophic.
I'm afraid the loss of Garcia in the lineup may be too much to overcome.
I can't believe it. I really can't.
Yes. We really do. It may be the key to the entire series since he would also be in line for a Gm 7. I just don't know if he's back yet.
Had he never gotten injured I would feel way more confident.
Marcus Semien is making 25 million dollars per year. He has batted leadoff in every Ranger game this season. He is woefully underperforming in the playoffs. He, more than any other player for Texas, is the reason the offense tends to struggle.
If he doesn't start doing what he was massively...
I knew Kelly would destroy us. He's the Dbacks ace right now. In fact he's probably the best SP in the entire postseason this season. This is why winning yesterday was so important.
Now a best of 5 and they've got home field. Scherzer better be good or we are in real trouble.
What a great win. Needed this one because Rangers haven't seen Kelly this year and he's been really good.
But Hedges...in that spot...that's just not gonna work.
Need the Rangers to take on that underdog role. Media has basically crowned the Dbacks as the underdog in this series that doesn't really belong, and many of them are picking the upset.
Very important that Rangers see the Dbacks as a big challenge.
Well, here we go!
A couple thoughts:
Would rather be the road team. We have been so good away from home. Being the favorite and starting at home is a concern. Which leads me to this...
We have to, at the very minimum, split these first 2 games. If, for some reason, we can't hit Gallen and...
Congrats Rangers! I'm still pretty much speechless that this team got to the Fall Classic. Of course now I'm greedy and want that ring. I guess you never really know.
