Screw him.
Nope. He was a very good player for us and it took two. What about the coaches that should have been on him for where he was playing? He put up with more than his share of criticism.

I'll never forgive him.

That's because you are Carl Fredricksen. A lot more than Cruz lost that series for us. That was only game 6, too. A whole other game to play where the whole team didnt show up. He is just easy to blame.

Right.

No matter what happens, this season was progress and it's something to build on for next season.
Yeah, but this is REAL progress for the Rangers and every team has to learn how to win, and learning how to do that requires gaining new experience.

Making the playoffs and getting some games in is getting that said experience and after their long stretch of being a bad team, I can't see how you wouldn't be glad with this season no matter how it ends at this point.
Damn.

Rangers are catching fire exactly when you want to as a team.

If they go on to beat Baltimore, I think they're going to the WS.
Look at The Acester making all that sense.

I'd also like to take this time to remind everyone that I attended 2 Rangers wins in person this postseason.

Basically, my positive mojo willed the team to their first championship.

You're all very welcome. :art

See above, Carl.
I get it, but his was the most glaring mistake.

It's a totally makeable catch too... He just has to be willing to make contact with the wall.

But he was scared to and he failed to make the catch that would have won the whole thing.

I don't think I could forgive a guy for that.

Like it said it was the easy blame but they say this is a team game. You win and you lose as a team. Plenty of blame to go around.

Besides if it wasn't for him we might not have made it to either that WS or the one before with his performance against Max Scherzer and the Tigers in the deciding game 5.

Side note, that phone case that looks like a Maxell cassette tape is pretty funny.

And yeah, I'm on the side that the Nellie fiasco was on Washington. Nellie wasn't a good fielder and Endy Chavez should've been the defensive replacement.

I muted the game multiple times last night because of this dipshit.
I'm glad even national people finally noticed it.

At least he wasn't as bad as against Baltimore, I guess. You'd think the Orioles were the Braves in that series.

If the Cowboys win it all too, Cotton will have to be medicated.

When they release the promo dates, I highly recommend that you and other Rangers fans here try to get to a game where they'll be giving away World Series replica rings.

Those things are nice and are quality-built. The wife and I got Braves rings during the 2022 season.

The Braves had multiple ring giveaways throughout the season. The Rangers will probably do the same. Which is great because the price gouging would be ridiculous if there were only one ring night give away.
