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
You called it

I feel sad and then think about some teams winning a World Series and not even making the next years playoffs. Makes me feel bad for the other guy.

Define "showed up"

They arrived in uniform but I'm not sure about anything past that

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.


We're only a couple of days ahead of you. What I've found relaxing is rooting against our arch rivals in the playoffs. I guess you're out of luck. Hopefully next year, though.

MLB playoffs are a BLAST when you don't have a team in the hunt. It's like March Madness with games all day long for 2 weeks until the CS.

Ok. Here's a fair question. Feelings toward Hinch right now?

He makes some boneheaded moves, but I don't know anyone with hatred for Hinch- unless you mean him letting that crap go on in '17.

At time I said he shouldn't be fired. Same with Luhnow. The organization should have bit the bullet with their one year suspensions.

Happy for AJ today.

Where can I get tickets for the divisional round? I want to see the return of Verlander, Altuve pad his hall of fame resume, the inevitable playoffs coming around and getting Bregman to care and Alvarez hitting bombs.

I wish we had done what Boston did with Cora. Suspended for the year and then brought him back.

But he's not the reason we lost. Offense scored 3 runs in two games

Yeah, basically. He brought a title and a stench. Kinda like if Schloss had won the last game. Not exactly, but kind of.

Mine are getting refunded as we speak but I'll let you know soon.

Also was wondering when you'd be back… haven't seen you on this thread in a while

Checking in on that Hader acquisition. Turned out good, yes?


Pressly got us into that mess so not blaming Hader as much right now
3 run double to seal it for the fighting Hinches is pretty much on Hader. The back end of the bullpen was the biggest letdown for me for the year so sort of fitting for them to blow it in an elimination game

Yeah he wasn't good today. But he pitched great in save situations all year. Espada just used him at weird times sometimes.
It's year 1 of a 5 year deal and tied for 5th in the MLB in saves with a sub 4.00 ERA (3.80)

So not ready to say if it was good or not. I wasn't super thrilled with the 5 years part but we will see

We all watched your team choke their way to a losing record in defense of their trophy- something few teams sunk so low to accomplish. You really want to go there?

Too soon to tell. After the horrid start to the season, he did exactly what he was paid to do.

Next year I think with the Rangers and Astros getting healthier we should see closer to 2023 where we both battle for a playoff spot (probably both of us winning around 86-88 games)

Astros have more offensive question marks though than the Rangers do. Javier and Garcia coming back to the rotation will be big.

So I do think the Astros window probably closed today until they make some smart moves.

This isn't some dunk on rangers fans, you are just positioning yourself so you can act like a genius once the other team very predictably starts trash talking. Which we have every right to do just like every other fan base in history when a rival goes down
