What are some realistic landing spots? Will I finally be able to watch the Rangers on Youtube TV?
I want to get excited because fuck Bally. But are we sure the next spot will be even better?

Wonder how hard Woodward was rooting against the rangers this year.  Wow. Worst in the west to World Series winner immediately after firing you. Totally unrelated facts I’m sure. 
*(A’s are not a MLB team)
Getting rid of JD was a huge move. No way Bochy wants to work with JD and no way JD would hire Bochy. He would hire another no name spare who has no business being a manager. We finally had a manager advantage during the playoffs. Something we never had under JD with his hires.

 I don't hold any ill-will for Woodward.  I think he could end up being a solid manager in The Show at some point.  He was hired for a rebuild.  You hire "the guy" when you feel the rebuild is near complete.  

Unfortunately, Wash is getting hired for the same job at LAA.

For the uninitiated, Bally's dropping the Rangers would almost certainly provide an OTT streaming option next season. Unclear if we would get a streaming option in 2024 if Bally's keeps the rights for one more year.

So, why do people hate Bally's so much?

I personally think it's fine, but it really comes down to access and lack of an OTT streaming option.

Hmm.... I've known what OTT is for about 30 seconds. No wonder I don't have a problem with Bally's.

When Bally's bought the Fox RSNs they said they would have a streaming app in the 6 or whatever months later when baseball started. It wasn't ready and was rolled out on a limited basis a year later. By that time their financial condition had seriously deteriorated and MLB and the teams weren't willing to give them a multi year deal for streaming.

Bally is in bankruptcy.  It's flexibility, pricing, reach, and offerings reflected that.  $75 / month for a network that offers you nothing more than something you used to get over the air for free is always going to be a hard sell.  Having a literal collapsing network being the one doing it is orders of magnitude worse.

A (soon to not be) Angels player likely collects another MVP trophy today to add to their collection of worthless hardware.

Truly astounding how they wasted having two of the greatest players of the last ten years.

the best part about baseball.  you only get to bat every nine guys.  you only get to pitch every five days.  you can't just hand it to jordan every time down the court.  have to have a full team.

Video is kinda silly, but it’s pretty much how I felt during that series. But there were some “fuck this” moments in there too.

Don’t matter, we’re the champs. Can’t wait for the “World Champion Texas Rangers Season Thread” next year.

I'm sure Bally is fine if you're on cable. But it is the worst steaming app I've ever used.  Fast forwarding and rewinding is horrible, it constantly has load issues, it asks for a password every other time you use it, the entire app was down for a couple nights a week ago. 

Not to mention, if you wanted to just pay for the App by itself aside from DirecTV, the Mavs and Stars were available but the Rangers weren't.

Not great.

I can get Bally, but can't have adequate internet to get whatever streaming bullshit probably takes over.

 A full postseason share for the World Series champion Texas Rangers totaled $506,263 

----

Texas split $38.8 million into 64 full shares, 12.56 partial shares and $48,000 in cash awards, the commissioner's office said Tuesday. 

----

The pool includes 60% from the first first two games of each wild-card series, the first three games of each Division Series and the first four games of each League Championship Series and the World Series. 

Hell of a payday for guys like Little Josh.

Hell, at least he got to thieve MLB salary for the entire season.  That full share $$ is about 45x what Evan Carter made all year in the Minors.

First Thanksgiving as a World Series Champion fan base.

Not shit on TV? Turn game 5 on and just watch from Top 7 on. Great watch.
Definitely doing that today with family. Firing up the MLB app
