The main reason everyone is getting anxious here is because it is Arlington. If this was any other team, I believe, the fanbase would be much cooler. Not saying we would not be sweating, but the expectations would be tailored. We are all hypersensitive to this because it is Arlington. We've held so much over them the last decade damn near, that to have them deny us a trip to the World Series that could potentially cement us as one of the GOAT's (which we already are), makes it a tough pill to swallow. With that said, Eat **** Arlington.
Yeah, that's definitely where my anxiety comes from. If we were down 1-0 to the Rays or Orioles, I wouldn't be this pissed. There's one team I do NOT want to see winning a World Series this year and it's the Rangers. Ok, maybe the Braves too, but they've already been eliminated.
Rangers Twitter is pissed Carter is out and Grossman is batting 3rd. Misery loves company when it comes to Astros and Rangers fans complaining about these two old fogey managers making lineups.
No, its not. At least he's DH'ing today so a possibility that Diaz could fill in for him if need be (as opposed to if Brantley was the DH).
