You guys are rolling, congrats… Now prepare for Houston because that’s who you’re most likely playing … They’re looking at there 7th straight ALCS if they get in, which I would put money on that they will …

Thanks

Crane still owns the team. He turned a blind eye to it all and even had the nerve to go on the offensive. And Altuve and Bregman were two of the biggest offenders. Altuve in particular with his covering up of the electronic device as he rounded 3rd was just beyond sickening.

Their low-class fans had ZERO problem with them cheating. Even bragged about it. If the Rangers were to win a title and then it were uncovered they cheated badly to win it, I would consider it illegitimate.

And don’t even get me started on the Roberto Osuna-Brandon Taubman incident that same year that Crane didn’t seem to care much about. Domestic violence was just a huge joke to them.

Oh i agree, it's just crazy how fast that roster turned around, I only think 12 from that roster are still in the league

If the Rangers decide to add Scherzer and Gray to the ALCS roster which 2 get dropped to make room for them?

Bush and Chapman. Fat chance on the 2nd one.

The way they have completely avoided using him, you would think Stratton would have to be in the running.

I agree with the two you chose. Put Heaney in Chapman's role.

I really thought Baltimore had this in four.

I get the feeling we are going to face you guys in the postseason a few more times over the rest of this decade.

Agree but still wondering about Stratton they’ve keep him on the active roster throughout the postseason but I haven’t even seen him in the pen

From Ken Rosenthal:

Sometime after the seventh inning, right around when Nathan Eovaldi took his curtain call, Chris Young’s wife, Liz, turned to him and said, “I guess Christmas Eve was worthwhile.”

Liz remembered. Her husband, the Texas Rangers’ general manager, should have been enjoying the holiday with his family. Instead, he was negotiating a two-year, $34 million free-agent contract for Eovaldi with the pitcher’s agent, Seth Levinson.

“She was a little mad at me,” Young said with a smile Tuesday night, in the afterglow of a 7-1 Rangers victory that completed a three-game sweep of the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Division Series.

Nearly 10 months later, Levinson also had a vivid recollection of his back-and-forth with Young, whom practically everyone in the industry calls “CY.”

“CY and I were just doing our jobs, except this time, the negotiations went until 11:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve,” Levinson said. “CY’s Zoom call (with Eovaldi) a week earlier was so impressive that Nate had to be a Ranger, and I wasn’t accepting no for an answer. As it turns out, Nate is an especially good Christmas gift for everyone.”
