October 24, 20232 yr Author Holy shit Diaz is 1-13 in the postseason. The way the astro fans talked about him I thought he hit like some combo of Babe Ruth and Tony Gwynn

October 24, 20232 yr I went to the game and while Im disappointed that we lost, it’s not the same feeling when we used to lose in the playoffs like in the 2000s. When you get to the ALCS or WS, you’re playing good teams. You can’t and won’t win all of these series. Our recent history is 4-3 in the ALCS and 2-2 in the WS. onto the ‘24 season and let’s chase the Braves’ record of 8 consecutive CS appearances. Edited October 24, 20232 yr by Nice Guy Eddie

October 24, 20232 yr What a weird series this was. There was some drama but not in game 6 or 7. Game 5 was an all timer. Either way, congrats to the Rangers. Go erase those 2011 demons.
October 25, 20232 yr speaking for many jaded Rangers fans...Should we have Nellie come out and throw out the first pitch? We sure don't want him attempting to catch the first pitch!!!

October 25, 20232 yr Nellie is unfairly castigated by our fanbase. Dumb imo. Nellie gets the Bill Buckner treatment for something 10 times harder than Buckner while he spent the rest of the postseason Adolis Garciaing everything. No one pays attention to the fact that the game continued afterward, we put in disaster pitchers, we go up by 2 more runs, we blow that. Hate how we treat him. I went to bed furious, as did every other Ranger fan, but not at him. I was surprised at the narrative forming around him when I read stuff in the morning.

I don't like Cruz for taking his PED suspension during the year instead of appealing it and taking it the next year. If he had appealed it and played out the rest of 2013, the Rangers had a good chance of winning the West (they came in 2nd to the A's). But it was the last year of his contract and he didn't want the suspension looming over his next contract. I get why he did it but it stills sucks from a Rangers fan perspective.

That was also a bonehead decision by Wash IIRC. He should've used a defensive sub for Nellie in the 9th.
October 25, 20232 yr For the 907th time, the ONLY time Nellie was removed for a defensive sub the entire season was game 159 (our final home game) when all the big boys were pulled for an ovation. This narrative that Endy was ready to go in has always been sports radio bullshit.

That was a straight line shot right to the wall. Did he maybe misplay it? Sure. But this wasn't dropping some can of corn pop up. Or as you mentioned, what Buckner did. And we then make it up right after and go up 9-7. But the 10th inning on early ever gets mentioned. Just the Freese play. I don't blame Cruz at all for that series. Wouldn't even be there if it wasn't for him.
October 25, 20232 yr Oh, game 161, he pulled Josh/MY/Adrian/Nap too in a 10-3 W. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ANA/ANA201109270.shtml So two blowouts when the division was long clinched, not a single relevant close game in 2011.
