You started the wrong thread my friend. You needed to start Last Wild card spot watch thread. Let's go Rangers!
I hate to say this, but the Rangers are legit. I'm not saying they're going to win the division or will be better than the 'Stros at the end of the year, but they aren't winning by fluke. It's making the year interesting to say the least.
They'll likely finish with around the same record the Mariners finished last year... but not sure which is the bigger surprise (Rangers doing this well or Mariners still floundering). That being said, this time last year the Mariners were even worse before they went on their run... so still a team that could make noise if trends repeat themselves.
On our podcast yesterday we spent 30 minutes talking with a former sports writer in the DFW area about the Rangers and previewing that upcoming series. Posted link in the in-season general discussion thread.
Are you still saying "Let's go Rangers" @Yordan The Great? Regression seemed inevitable with so many Rangers players playing well above their career averages. Reminds me of the 2015 Astros who were a surprise playoff team that year. Got off to a hot start but then played .500 most of the final 4 months of the season.
