Series Thread: Rangers in Oakland to clinch the West! 9/23-9/25

Got a nice bottle of bourbon to pop open with a ranger win tonight. Who'll have a drink with me if we clinch?

Well..........duh me of course

TODAY, 6:18pm: Jeffress has been reinstated but will not be in uniform tonight, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News tweets. He’ll need to rebuild strength for at least a week on a throwing program, Grant adds, and it remains unclear whether and when he’ll actually take the hill for Texas.

• Extension talks between the Rangers and Rougned Odor were put on hold earlier this season, as the two sides couldn’t get on the same page. Odor’s camp was seeking a deal larger than Gregory Polanco’s five-year, $35MM pact with the Pirates, and while the Rangers wanted two club options tacked onto their top offer, Odor’s reps were only willing to concede one option year. That, of course, doesn’t rule out a deal being reached further down the line, but Odor’s 31-homer season as a 22-year-old second baseman figures to give his side plenty of leverage in talks, even if that power comes with an OBP that’s barely scraping the .300 mark.

Need losses by both Houston AND Seattle to clinch tonight if we can't do it ourselves.

I want at least one of them to win so we can do it in style in front of Oakland's raucous crowd of 478 fans.

Surprised TAG didn't want to be a part of this

Not the start I hoped for. Maybe a bit anxious.

[Bmurph]

that lineup aside from Valencia and Davis looks to be very manageable for the pitching staff

[darrylgann]

Come on Cole! Was to be a short inning
