I feel like we stole this game.gigem1223 said:
This was our "bullpen" game and we got the W on the road. Such a HUGE win. Now we have our aces rested and ready.
We go with a BP lineup against their Ace.
We get our #1 tomorrow. Monty.
Heaney isn't likely available until Wed, but Dunning is likely ready on Tuesday. 30PC
Everyone else should be available tomorrow.
Smith - 5PC
Sborz - 20PC
Chapman - 16 PC
Leclerc - 10 PC
I wouldn't do Chapman, though.
I was about to say Chapman available tomorrow?

Rodriguez (23-RHP): 23GS, 4.35 ERA, 122.0 IP, 129 K, 42 BB
Rookie. Some speculation he got the 2nd GS since it was H. It'll be interesting to see if he is amped up to start.
Splits:
Home: 4.59 ERA
Away: 4.08 ERA
L30days: 2.17 ERA, 5GS, 29.0 IP

Best thing about this win is it guarantees we will get both home games ( if needed).
You guys remember when Heim threw out that base runner? That was awesome.
It cannot be overstated how huge winning game 1 on the road is. There is now an immense amount of pressure on BAL with Rangers gaining home field advantage.
Stat they showed was that the team that wins G1 wins the series 71% of the time.Mr Gigem said:

Got to talk a little Rangers with my dad in the hospital today. It was a good day that brought me to tears.
He got to stand this week for two minutes and had taken some bites of pudding.
Doesn't sound like much but it's a big deal for him. Recovery time is 1-2 years per staff so we will take every little victory.
Really helps to keep talking baseball instead of A&M falling apart after the Arkansas game.

Real question…if someone told you one of your teams could win today between Ags and Rangers…who would you have picked?

I don't know the full context of your situation but I just wanted to hop over here and say I hope your dad has a speedy recovery and yes you absolutely have to celebrate every victory no matter how small.
God bless and good luck in the ALDS
No matter what!

Rangers for sure. They're actually playing for something that matters right now.
Using divine intervention to ham fist an A&M win over Bama means nothing, cause the Aggies are gonna drop a few more at least
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
Thankful for this team at least winning today to help ease the pain of football

I would have been satisfied had the Aggies won today. I am ecstatic that the Rangers won today.
The Aggies have let me down for over 40 years with hype, hope, and "this is our year" most years. I may or may not watch the Aggies play every weekend but I probably watch the 130 or so Ranger games a year. That's a huge investment.

No doubt I would have picked the Aggies
Rangers and its not even close.
Easy choice, Rangers all the way.
I want Jimbo to lose every game. Need a change for the new SEC

Grayson Rodriguez's numbers are pretty mediocre for the season, but he has an ERA around 2.50 in 60ish innings over the past two months.

A&M, but Rangers are a nice consolation prize.

We HAMMERED him earlier this year in his debut and made him throw strikes, taking a lot of pitches along the way. I expect the same tomorrow.
He was the pitcher I'm least worried about that they're going to throw out, bullpen included.
Edit to add I'm mixing up his debut and the outing in May. But we beat up on him twice and made him throw a ton of pitches. Patience is key with him.
Dodgers down 6-0 Top of the 1st against the D Backs. Kershaw got the nod but was pulled with only getting 1 out. Ewfff

Yup, football season is a 12-week sprint. The marathon that baseball season is makes the playoffs that much more gratifying/heartbreaking
College football you might survive a stumble and if you're really lucky two. Pro ball is a little more forgiving as long as you don't fall flat on your face out of the gate.
7-0
Carroll murdered that ball

Snakes added 2-3 more years to his deal. He won't hit FA til 30-31.
at least we have the Rangers right now lol helluva win
If Carter comes out next year and has a Corbin Carroll type of first half or season, I would love for the Rangers to pay him like this. Give him money up front and pay for his prime years.
Interesting that they already bought out his Serf and Arbs.
Some projections:
Corbin (22-OF): 155G, .285, 25HR, 54 SB, .362 OBP, 0.868 OPS
Jung (25-3B): 122G, .266, 23HR, 1 SB, .315 OBP, 0.781 OPS
Corbin (21-OF): 47G, .260, 4HR, 2 SB, .330 OBP, 0.830 OPS <- Last year
Carter (21-OF): 23G, .306, 5HR, 3 SB, .413 OBP, 1.058 OPB
Corbin gets:
Serf: $1.6, $3.6, $5.6
Arbs: $10.6, $12.6, $14.6
3Add: $28.6 per.
I don't know Carter's financial situation, but it will be interesting to see how he plays out.
He signed for $1.25M and slot was $1.47M.

I didn't realize what thread I was in when I posted that, but you're right. Unless you end up with a pedo like Wander, it looks like a great deal for teams. Look at Tatis, Julio, Acuna, Carroll, Alvarez.
