Rangers should bring back Hamels, Holland, and Darvish and pretend it's 2016 but without many wins.

I posted this in 17 and I'll update it slightly, but this is pretty spot-on, still.

You just finished 6 games under .500 and 23 games out of first. You traded away your ace midseason who is now a FA. You have no major plans to spend decent new money this year with a payroll approaching 110 M. Your young core is not all that good. Your best player will be 39 and either busted for roids and start to decline like all aging players do. You have one of the worst rotations in baseball. You have no bullpen. Your farm system is bottom 10 in the league even though you were sellers at the deadline. This is all done by the architect that is Jon Daniels. Things will not be significantly better next year or the one after that or the several after that. You're stuck in 83 wins or fewer zone unless you spend like NY & LA or rebuild.

You just finished 6 games under .500 and 29 games out of first. You decided not to trade away any of the veteran assets even though you didn't stand a chance in the division. You have no major plans to spend decent new money this year with a payroll approaching 130 M. Your young core is not all that good. Your best player could only stay on the field for 70 games and either hits a home run or strikes out. Your rotation is one of the worst in baseball after Minor and Lynn (they only have 1 year left each). You have no bullpen. Your farm system is middle of the pack even though you you've been sellers in 17 and 18 (but not 19 for some reason). This is all done by the architect that is Jon Daniels. Things will not be significantly better next year or the one after that or the several after that. You're stuck in 83 wins or fewer zone unless you spend more than NY & LA or rebuild.

Do you work in the Rangers front office and have knowledge of what the payroll will be in 2020? Because I do, and I know it will be north of $175M.

I actually like the young kids behind Minor and Lynn. And I think we are going to grab a premium TOTR pitcher in the offseason. We have decent bullpen arms, too.

The Rangers will make the playoffs in the next two years.

Nobody spends more than NY & LA

This particular group of Astro fans aren't worth your time accident. All they know how to do is attack, attack and deflect when called out. I'm sure they are good and rational people in other facets of life, but when it comes to their astros..... these people get really weird. Their arguments are usually littered with weird "daddy" references and faulty logic. These people are hypocrites because if the year was 2015, they would only be posting on other forums within Texags. If the year was 2010-2011, they would avoid this thread like the plague.

These guys talk like they've always owned us and that's not the case. In the grand scheme of things, it's a very new development.

Have you finished figuring out the math on making the playoffs yet Smokey? Or has the "is Ian Kinsler a hall of famer" debate taking up too much of your time?

I was enjoying a better than expected first half of the season for us. That comment seemed to really get a rise out of you guys. I'm glad you had fun with it.

They're still trying to figure out just how good odor is.

Man, I hope you are right. I don't see it next year. I also hope we don't go to $175M just to say we can do it. Then we look like cellar-dwellers LAA and PHI.

Will we go after Cole, Strasburg, Keuchel, Bumgarner, Odorizzi or some other front line starter?

Assume for argument's sake that the Astros and Yankees will see the playoffs the next two years. Seems more reasonable than them not being there, so just go with the hypothetical. That leaves three spots. Twins or Indians will obviously take one of those, leaving two. Will the Rangers improve enough to overtake the Red Sox, Rays, A's and Twins/Indians? It seems like a big stretch to me that the Rangers can improve quickly enough to pass three of those teams.

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

You're right. He's atrocious. Odor has been the worst regular player in MLB for 3+ years in a row.

It's frustrating because I've long accepted that we wasted our money on him by extending him, but this year the rangers doubled down on their mistake by wasting a ton of at bats on him when we had more talented alternatives on the roster like Santana and solak. Go figure.

There will never be an altuve vs odor debate again and as far as I'm concerned, there never really was one. Altuve can flat out hit.

Yes but you'll always have Odor punching out Bautista...so there's that.

The moment wasn't worth it in my opinion.

Bautista is the only thing odor has hit the last few years.

Unlikely, yes. But baseball doesn't follow chalk, so that's what we'll have to hope for. Astros, Yankees, AL Central winner, and more-often-than-not Red Sox. Three/four seasons out of 5 that really only leaves 1 spot for Texas to beat out Rays/Indians/A's. That's a tough ask.

Texas was 6-13 and 6-13 (12-26) vs. HOU and OAK. You have to get back to 9-10 vs. HOU and 10-9 vs. OAK to have any chance. We were actually respectable this year vs. the rest of MLB (66-58). Winning 19 games vs. those teams gets us to 85 wins, then you have to find another 5+ wins for 90. This year was quirky in that the AL wild card teams won 97 and 96 games.

Regardless, unless the new indoor stadium magnetically attracts superstar pitchers, we are going to pull off some good trades and finally develop some farm talent to compete.

There are a couple of posters on there that I'm not entirely sure are Aggies. Danny what's his name, maybe two of them actually, are seriously deranged about Astros fans. It's hateful trash, not good-natured ribbing, Never understood that, but whatever.

So I'm looking at my twitter feed. Seeing stories about how the 2019 Astros ranks as an all timer, how Gerrick Cole developed into an elite pitcher, etc etc and then this beauty pops up.



It's October and your stadium is a top golf. Reason #107 that were daddy and youre not.

I'm aware. That was more for the second guy who seemed to think the Astros would never do it. I should have utilized the reply.

And of course I hate that crap. Not a big deal now that it's the old stadium but that stupid event is why there were amoeba shapes in the outfield all last year.

What a shame. Tough to watch Verlander look so bad. Hopefully Cole doesn't do a repeat performance of a complete choke job for such a "cy young" pitcher. You saw what a cy young pitcher can do by making Alvarez look like roogie on a bad day.

You really should've waited.

The Astros will probably win game 5 and all of this trash talk is moot. If the Astros lose on Thursday, then yeah they deserve to be ridiculed.

Can you tell me that you haven't rooted against us when we were in the playoffs and you guys weren't? I even said that I think y'all will win Thursday and the guy above is dumb for talking crap so early.

Dude, it's not too early. They will run train on them Thursday then I can't really poke the bear. Tonight was a little raw for Astro fans so a little ribbing never hurt.

Houston will win Thursday night. Houston will still probably win the world series. It's a little early to poke the bear at this point.

Messing around with the rays could hurt them in the next round tho. They wanted Verlander and Cole to start 1 and 2 against the Yankees, that won't happen now.
