Not gonna post on their thread. But who smirked a little on the final pitch? The stadium was so quiet any trash can banging could be heard in Katy.

I grinned hard when they won it but mainly because I was happy for the Braves. I was actively cheering against Houston much less than I thought I would. Although I'm sure as fuck glad they didn't win it. 

Something about Texas teams...

Yep. When they got by the Sox I thought they finally got a chance to get a city championship the right way. Cheated their asses off in baseball, and when the rockets won it all they had Jordan to thank for playing baseball. I still think a Jordan baseball statue needs to be in downtown Houston for that gift.

Hate to see it.

I just saw this. I used to hear him in my sleep. RIP, Zonk. 

[cactusflinthead 27628]

Fuck Boras. 

Fuck the Ghostly Three

I would rather embrace the suck than get saddled with another Chan Ho type contract.

[shadow_operative2.0 16276]

Give them all your $! 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16276]

Fucking great. 

 

[ztejas 44236]

I'm glad that Blake clarified that through 2023 also means through 2022. 

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

The Rangers gonna try to sign anyone this offseason or did the owners give up after the taxpayers got the new stadium for them?

[Get ln My Van 934]

Chris Woodward was our big signing this offseason BRO

[DougO 5266]

I don't really know how good Woodward is as a manager. I understand his current role, but when I see so many fundamental breakdowns I wonder how much is him and how much is just young inexperienced players and shuffling the deck as much as they have. I'd like to see what Woody would do with a team that had talent to contend. He seems like a good guy, you kinda root for him.

[cactusflinthead 27628]

Nothing matters and all is darkness.

Have another!

[Dr Fear 1290]

Alrighty, then.

[shadow_operative2.0 16276]

7/$175M. 

[Henry Hill 3156]

[AngryDragon 273]

Reportedly still in on Story which makes no sense unless Siemen is moving to 2nd and they're trading IKF. 

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

31 year old to a 7 year deal?

Suspect.

IKF has jackshit to do with our future. Semien is better suited for 2B anyway. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16276]

Elvis: career .696 OPS, 85 OPS+ 

IKF: career .670 OPS, 81 OPS+ 

 

Dude can’t hit, period. 

[Dr Fear 1290]

[shadow_operative2.0 16276]

That will be real cheap.

Don't disagree with IKF but we have good prospects at 2nd and SS in the upper minors. Story money would be better allocated towards pitching/outfield unless they're planning to add $100 mil to the budget which has been thrown around. 

[Herbie Hancock 7496]

I’ve always liked Calhoun. I dig it

[shadow_operative2.0 16276]

Foscue is really our only decent MIF prospect in the upper minors, we can worry about his position later. Wendzel profiles as a career UIF.

Do you understand that prospect is Spanish for “hasn’t done shit yet”? Skipping on a known commodity in hopes that you have the golden ticket in your Wonka bar wrapper is about the most Rangers thing I’ve ever heard. Especially with our track record of developing prospects

[shadow_operative2.0 16276]

Alright.

Well... we can't bitch about them spending money this offseason I guess.

Hope he keeps his form up. He was fantastic last year. Wonder what the Jays do at SS - they had/have a nice core going. 

[Radical Larry 28822]

4/56 for Gray

[shadow_operative2.0 16276]

Bo Bichette plays SS for Tor.

Weird day to have 0 posts in here.

[Herbie Hancock 7496]

No Vic and no tejas. I’d call that a win, not a weird day

They are in the Texas Rangers offseason thread.
