I hope Ranger fans enjoy the postseason, not as much as Astros fans but I do hope it is a fun ride for them.

Baseball is way too long of a season for me to jump into trash talk. Next day's starting pitcher will humble you quickly. It's a brutally long and sometimes unforgiving season.

I enjoy baseball rivalries but the games are so based on single, 1:1 matchups between pitcher and batter with some random results at times. I like following my team (Houston) and enjoy when the Yankees lose because they get so much run in the media etc.

Both of my sons play collegiate baseball and I know the ups and downs. It's October so have a fun ride!

Lol it's funny how this is a thing.

It was a premature celebration and they're gonna be mocked for it.

I was assured the Astros would be at home watching the Rangers in the playoffs and it turns out that's what happened.

100%. It would be epic.

Far be it from me to tell someone how to enjoy a rivalry, but IMO playing your rival on the biggest stage possible is the most fun experience as a fan. And if that never happens then it's not really a rivalry, is it?

Yeah, diarrhea for an entire week sounds like tons of fun.

The bright side is no ALCS games on a Saturday.

Astros and Rangers both better take care of business. An ALCS matchup would be epic.

Even with all the **** talking -- I genuinely hope our Aggie Rangers fans get to enjoy this trip to the postseason,

Speaking of diarrhea, I was just reading some of the early morning comments on the Rangers thread. Haha, mostly kidding, even though you called us "trash" in your own post.

What is your prediction for this WC series? I think the Rangers can do some damage at the plate, but they better do it early. I suspect you need at least 7 innings from you starters. That's an obvious recipe for most teams to win a game, but it seems the only path for Texas in my opinion. Jump ahead early and hang the hell on.

It'd be awesome. To think we were both in driver's seat in our respective divisional rounds in 2015 and both ultimately blew it.

I can't find the perfect adjective to describe the Houston Astros fanbase, but it's unfavorable. I'm not going to get into a back and forth on this. My college and pro teams have had a ton of successful recently and I've never felt the need to spew hate toward other fans. I've usually been pretty thankful for the good times after suffering through some lean years.

I'm not going to predict Rays-Rangers. We're barely fielding a healthy starting rotation as this point, and Eovalid isn't close to 100%. I'll say that strange things happen in baseball.

You don't spew hate of your own? Ok, gotcha.

Good luck this afternoon.

Hmmm, take advantage of early opportunities, build a lead, and have the starter go at least seven.

Somebody smart, incredibly handsome, and downright likable laid out that happy path earlier today…

Most 2023 Playoff Games Won by 5PM on Oct 3, 2023

Will that fit on a banner?

Good thing, you certainly did not want to extend the six game postseason losing streak coming into the game. More so since the Twins have an early lead and might end their 18 game streak.

While it is always nice to get the first one under your belt, it is more important to get the last W of the postseason.

Come on, that was a good win. Rangers hit the ball hard and took advantage of mistakes. Montgomery was fantastic. That was a good win, and likely their recipe for success throughout the playoffs.

We'll see if Tampa cleans it up tomorrow. They were awful.
