    You don't think replacing the league's worst player with an All-star -- who's better offensively and defensively -- in a series that went all 7 games would make a positive difference in the outcome.

    Okay.

    Sick feeling in my stomach when I checked the score last night and it was 10-0.

    We go 1-3 at home in the ALCS and we're celebrating a WS this week. Ugh....

    All we can hope for is an epic choke job by the rangers.

    Once we were out I just really didnt care much. I watched some of GM1 but then I checked out again. I'm in Phoenix so I was rooting for the snakes, I knew it was a longshot. Not being in Texas, if TX does go on to win I'll have to hear very little about it which is nice. I think we bounce back but it'll be interesting to see how TX does next year.

    Rangers will be a one and done type of team.

    I agree.

    age of 2017 Astros:
    Altuve 27
    Correa 22
    Springer 27
    Bregman 23
    Verlander 34
    Morton 33
    McCullers 23
    Keuchel 29

    2023 Rangers:
    Semien 32 (Altuve)
    Seager 29 (Correa)
    García 30 (Springer)
    Jung 25 (Bregman)
    Eovaldi 33 (Morton)
    DeGrom 35 (Verlander)
    Montgomery 30 (Keuchel)
    Gray 31 (McCullers)

    Now, the Rangers have some other good young players; Carter, Taveras, Duran, and Langford are all potential stars and under 25, and they have some very high ceiling pitching prospects. But I just don’t think they’re built like the Astros were. Of course their owner might be far more willing to spend than Crane has been. We’ll see, but I wouldn’t bet on them as multi-championship team over the next 10 years.

    They will definitely spend big though and aren’t afraid to trade their prospects.
