I can't believe Martinez and Hudgens are still with this team. Nothing has changed. The definition of insanity.

lol @ pinch hitting a scrub like Singleton for Pena there. :lol:

That was the opposite of an idiot FO telling the manager what to do. That was an old-school idiot manager decision.

LeClerc has massive splits so that was probably the idea there. Singleton still sucks though so a weird choice.

The Chokestros just can't win at home. They should have let Texas win the division.

Rangers and their elite offense going to the World Series? Unbelievable

Come on Atkins we need some more defense to counter it. Time to trade Bo for some elite infield D

This is sarcasm right?

Not for Atkins. Get ready for some 2024 Paul DeJong

Love Dusty, won't miss him...some of his decisions this year were just really frustrating, specifically constantly riding the mediocre-Maldonado train and not letting Diaz get more starts(especially when they needed more offense).

It's crazy how bad/inconsistent they played at home this year - I wish the whole ALCS could have been playing in Arlington.

Letting Maldonado hit down 6 runs yesterday in the 4th inning with 2 on was a strange one. But then again, his entire usage of Maldonado all series/season was also strange.

I hate the Rangers. That's another team that was on our level in 2015 and that has leapfrogged us since.

It helps that they have a coach who goes by what' happening on the field, and not following some sort of analytic data sheet, it was one of the conditions of him managing the Rangers, is that he actually gets to manage to it, rather than being told or having a pre-plan idea of what is going to happen.

atkins let semien go in order to get chapman. he traded moreno and gurriel for varsho. the 3 of them are putting on a show in the world series.

He let Semien go because he was over 30 and would command a massive, long-term deal. It was the right move.

The problem is that Shatkins have completely failed at building a talent pipeline in the minors to replace outgoing players.

A little salty seeing the Rangers win the world series before us after 2015 and 2016. Considering the Rangers played so poorly second half of the season and almost missed the playoffs entirely, just goes to show how much of a crapshoot MLB playoffs is.
