I guess I didn't realize that NYC lost both the Giants and the Dodgers in the same year.

Ouch.

Walter O'Malley wanted someone to go west with him to make the travel viable for all the rest of the teams. After Robert Moses wouldn't help him get some land to replace Ebbetts he reached out to the Giants who needed to replace the polo grounds. Moses wanted the dodgers to move to Queens where they ended up building Shea.

So the Rangers and Diamondbacks followed up the lowest rated World Series in history with September exits.

Some people might call that being irrelevant. Not me, of course, but some people...

If a rangerette falls on a golf course and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?

I think the real important question weighing on everyone's mind before a playoff series is how many viewers are going to watch? Surely since no one cares about the tigers this playoff series is meaningless

Maybe the Astros should ask the Rangers if they can play all their playoff games here? Seems like it would be a good idea for both teams. Y'all can win again and our owner who really values $$$$ can get paid.

We've discussed this at some point this season on the Astros thread. I suggested faking the roof stuck half open/closed and playing the games at Constellation Field in Sugar Land. However I'm sure Manfred would not go for a postseason game in a venue that only holds only about 8,000 fans.

Last postseason I suggest playing with the roof open, switching home and away dugouts, anything that might be as a possible way to break this streak of being awful at home in October.

What's weird is that we actually played pretty well at home this year in the regular season. I think today it was just we faced the best pitcher in the American league and he had his A+ game.

I thought it was a gift to Houston for Hinch to take him out at 88 pitches. Unless Hinch is so supremely confident they are going to win this series that he brings him back on 3 days rest for Game 1 vs. Cleveland.

Honestly I wonder if Hinch did that so that he could possibly throw and inning or two in a game 3 if needed

2-day rest after throwing 80+ postseason pitches. Seems like a poor idea especially if you want any chance of winning the DS and not injuring your star controllable arm.

It's not complicated. Today is HB. If he goes south fast it's Spencer on deck. Tomorrow it's Kikuchi and Spencer if he's not been used.

Might be a little early to declare a one hit wonder. If the Rangers don't do anything the next couple of years, you will be right.

Nice team and season, Astros fans
Yep pretty impressive. Won't say congrats, and I hope they lose quickly, but that was a damn good turnaround. Much respect.

I'd rather lose quickly in the playoffs than not make it at all
Ya think?!?!



I'm just saying… I can see it now if the Astros get bumped before the World Series. Rangers fans will be vocal even though they didn't get invited to the party


And here they come

Hader actually pitched really well this season in save opportunities. He was not good when the game was tied.

He was a cancer in the SD clubhouse and they've thrived without him whining about how often he pitches.

It's year 1 of the deal so I'm not ready to say it was a flop. Our offense is the reason we are about to get swept

You can't score 3 runs in two games but then get mad at the pitchers for losing

Any rangers fans have any advice on how we should spend the rest of our October? Haven't ended the season this early since Trevor Knight was leading the Aggie football team

Also yeah looks like both of our teams sucked this year.
