If you haven't you should check out Mitch Garber's season stats with Texas. To suggest he's having a career year in an understatement. He's playing in the nosebleed section he's so far above his career norm.

He was better in 2019. 31 bombs in 93 games. He's never played a full season though.


2019 was the last year teams were actively playing outside the lines with technology. And the Twins were one of the teams actively doing it. His 2019 numbers were way above 2018 and 2020, 2021.

Hopefully they start the "we want Houston" chants soon.

I don't think it was tech. I think it was juiced balls. See Breggy's 40+ HRs.

When that Rangers offense gets going they are impressive. Playoffs are all about getting hot at the right time and they have really capitalized on their opportunity. With pitching coming around they are right up there in the list of favorites to take it all.

France was clutch when the pitching was struggling earlier this year. You roll with the guy that got you here right?

What is better for snuffing out Rangers being on fire? Elongated series or 4 days off?

I'm not familiar but what is with all the Creed references and bumper music for the Rangers?

They said Rangers been listening to them in locker room before games.

Did he just say the rangers didn't dominate this series?

Didn't slow the Astros down last season.

On the other hand, Arlington has been very streaky since the All-Star Break. They go on a jag like they are the '27 Yankees followed by a streak in which they look like the Bad News Bears before Buttermaker recruits Amanda to pitch and Kelly to play the entire outfield.

Of course we need to take care of business but if we do, the ALCS should be a hell of a ride.

I think it's the latter. We still own the Rangers and hopefully that will continue in the ALCS.

When their bats are hot, they are really, really good. When they are cold, they are very average.

I want to see that bully when they don't have a big lead.

The Rangers are a good team and you're naive to think otherwise. I hate them as much as anyone but credit where credit is due.

Astros faced Joe Ryan twice this season and put up 4 runs on him in April and 5 in May, a game in which he was outdueled by Brandon Bielak who gave up 1 run. Which naturally means Ryan will throw a CGSO against the Stros tomorrow.

Maybe some of each. The Orioles are young and were at least a year ahead of schedule so lack of experience is probably a factor. I don't think the Rays have that excuse. The Rangers can hit… I'm sure of that . Assuming we put away the Twins I'm not sure what to expect . They could be a handful or they could fold up like a cheap suit when they see the "H" on the opponent's caps.

No, they aren't. I think it has to do with them playing the halftime show for the cowboys back in 2001. That is the only connection I can think of

Rangers/Astros ALCS would likely go 7 games

I actually would have rather played the orioles

Well congrats to Baltimore on their season, winning a division with the amount of money and bullshtt devoted to the Yankees and Red Sox every year, as well as solid competition from the Rays and Jays.

I don't think it goes 7. Their bullpen over 7 games will not be good

They did take care of business in Game 1 At Camden Yards. They didn't have to be good in Tampa or Game 2 in Baltimore.

The longer the series go the shakier the Rangers pitching will get. That pen is bad bad.

Them only needing 5 games total to get to the ALCS is helping them so much. Sets them up well for the ALCS not having to over use their best arms

Damn Bregs has the most postseason HRs and RBIs all time by a 3Bman. There have been some really good 3Bman play a lot of postseason games.

That's a dude

So… would you say he's slightly better than Morgan Ensberg??
