Dodgers gonna treat them like LeBron treated Memphis, but that was funny.

I hope Tatis can stay healthy and stop being a knucklehead
Tatis is likely to put up an MVP season this year.

Voters won’t choose him to win it. But I expect him to perform at that level.

So the Rangers are now relevant over the reigning champions because they recklessly spent a lot of money on free agents? :mjlol: :dead:
they’re relevant because they’re currently a top 5 team in the league with future hall of famers such as Seager, Semien, DeGrom, Garcia, and Jankowsi :leostare::leostare:

How about, let’s just have them simply Make the playoffs first before crowning them mid season champs :mjlol:

Rangers are what the Angels were when they went on that spending spree and got Anthony Rendon etc.

Seager & Degrom are still fkn hurt and that’s like $90 mil this season between just the two of them :dead:

They aren’t even running away with the division being 3 games over .500 :dead:

I’m crowning them early season champs as we’re only 22% completed and anything can happen :leostare:

but once we get the ball rolling, they’ll be unstoppable. The Yankees have a similar strategy and look where they are currently :leostare::leostare:

with a wounded Astros, young Mariners, and inconsistent Angels.. are only threat is how many runs we can score against the A’s :leostare::leostare::leostare:

Am I tripping or the Detroit Tigers winning baseball games lately?
Hinch is the best manager in baseball.

I'm mixed on them winning like this. I want them to do well but this is not sustainable. They're getting two guys a night going 3-4 or 2-4 with a home run and then those two get one hit for the rest of the week.

It's basically a repeat of two years ago when they played WAY over their head then crashed last season. They still need a massive influx of talent.

Eduardo Rodriguez is pitching like prime Kershaw right now too. They need to trade him before he comes back to earth and/or opts out after a massive season.

The exact same can be said of the Astros my guy. Rangers are missing people, Astros are missing triple what the Rangers are missing in WaR production :heh:

Either way, I doubt any team in the league wants to see us come playoffs :mjlol:

those boys in the Bronx might have something to say. Sounds like you became a fan yesterday and didn’t watch the 2022 ALCS :leostare:

exactly.. damn near.. y’all lost to the Phillies twice in the WS :leostare: Rangers would of swept just like they did in 2011
Let’s look at the 2 games we lost in the entire playoffs
Game 1: Dusty leaves Verlander in to try and get his first WS win instead of going for the jugular when he got in a jam, circus catch also saves the game from ending in a walkoff
Game 3: tipped pitches

:skip:

Watch actual baseball that involves the Astros before crowning the Rangers who are guaranteed flame outs just like their football counterparts :mjlol:
