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.

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.  

It’s only been 2 weeks since we took the WS. Seems like forever ago. Anyway, at least 50 more to go. At least. Feeling good about adding to it. 



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.

Key paragraph:

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.

Every regular season game I watched last season was on streameast so it don't make a shit to me.

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.

Absolutely.

But yeah, other than that, they are fine....lmao

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. 

Its absolutely silly, but the goofy music and texts across the screen was what made it funny.  

Absolutely.

Some of y'all out here acting like you lent them money.

Not at all. Ballys is just shitty. There's a reason they are starting to crumble. Good for the Rangers and Mavs cutting ties.

Bally’s is not $75/month. A couple of the carriers are $75/month. If that’s too much to watch 3 metroplex teams, then you’re going to say it sucks. 

Some of y'all are special. I pay $84+tax for directv stream and I have every sports channel on the face of the earth. Including Bally.

The two guys mostly whining about Bally’s wouldn’t have watched a single regular season game before about September 15 anyway even if it was free. 

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.

Same with that Sosa kid.  Neither will amount to anything.  

Go get the Japanese Babe Ruth.  He's worth it.  

 

Ohtani feeding frenzy is crazy.  He had a 180 OPS+ season right when it is contract time.  He's been 'only' a 150 guy until now.  Good for him because those extra 30 points are probably going to net him 100 million more on this contract with people using it as the base.

Way too skinny.

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.

Dropping in my various threads to wish all y'all World Champion Texas Rangers fans a Happy Thanksgiving!

67% pay bump for Bombi…

I like it when players support the other local franchises.  That's not always the case.  

Cool story about the little things Adrian did that affected winning.
