Series Thread: Rangers Travel to St. Petersburg for the Best of Three Wild Card Series with the Rays October 3-5

[Sir Robin Of Camelot]

More concerned what offense does.

Yep. I get the sense that both teams are prone to racking up runs. Can’t go into those slumps with piss poor RISP production.

Whether we like Trevor Bauer or not from what I see this might be one of the few times I do not side with the supposed victim.

"'Next victim. Star pitcher for the Dodgers,'" Bauer said in the video. "A text Lindsey Hill sent to a friend before she ever even met me. ‘What should I steal?’ she asked another, in reference to visiting my house for the first time. The answer? ‘Take his money.’ So how might that work? ‘I’m going to his house Wednesday.’ she said, ‘I already have my hooks in. you know how I roll.’ Then, after the first time we met, "Net worth is 51 mil" she said. ‘b---h, you better secure the bag’, was the response.

"But how was she going to do that? ‘Need daddy to choke me out,’ she said. ‘being an absolute whore to try to get in on his 51 million,’ read another text. Then, after the second time we met, former [San Diego] Padres pitcher Jacob Nix told her ‘you gotta get this bag.’ ‘I’ll give you 50,000’ Lindsey replied. Her AA sponsor asked her at one point, ‘do you feel a tiny bit guilty?’ ‘Not really,’ she replied."

Bauer said the messages he talked about in the clip were "deliberately and unlawfully concealed from me and my legal team."

Not exactly sure how this ended up here

I knew someone would say that. His name had been mentioned here in the past on this board and was pretty much trashed and at the time I agreed.

Unbelievable - The Rangers have the dubious distinction of being the first team to ever make the postseason with more blown saves (33) than saves (30).

People often take sides without hearing any evidence. They are usually predisposed to always believe one side or the other. I never knew enough about the situation to take a side. It's funny, a lot of the same people on Twitter who never think fans can know enough to second-guess managers and GMs, think they know everything there is to know about cases like this and act as judge and jury.

With the over-abundance of wildcards now, we will start to see more unusual things like this, I would think.

So this was an attempt at some sort of moral victory lap? Weird.

Not sure where you're coming from with this.

I hope we don't ever see this kind of incompetence again. DT is right that the fact we have 90 wins is miraculous. Should post this stat in the GM's office to see everyday.

The Athletic asked 12 of their writers to pick the winners of the wildcard series. The Rangers were picked by 3 of the 12.

One mentioned Seager and the deep Rangers lineup. One mentioned Bochy. The third said he flipped a coun and it came up heads. So, at least that first one had a real reason.
