The Rangers record season record made them seem weaker than they actually were. Yes beating 99 and 101 win teams is impressive, but they were clearly better than the Rays and O's. Beating Houston in the ALCS and doing it on the road was very impressive so kudos to them for doing that. The D-Backs were no contest for them. Merrill Kelly pitching the game of his life was the only reason Arizona didn't get swept. Having said all of that I don't care how it will be viewed, my Texas Rangers are World Series champs and I couldn't be happier.
Our Pythagorean record (estimated record based on runs scored and runs allowed) was 96-66. This is due to having a disproportionately poor record in close games (as others have pointed out, we had 33 blown saves compared to only 30 saves). Thankfully we got away with it in the playoffs by our electric offense and overall solid starting pitching.
@@ChrisP-in8qr Braves lost 194 games in 1989-1990. Twins lost 170 in 1989-1990. What is your point? Teams come out of nowhere and win the World Series all the time. The 2013 Red Sox won the World Series and finished last place in 2012 and 2014.
I'm not a Rangers fan and I say yes. 11 of their 17 playoff games were on the road, they beat the defending champs at their place (went 4-9 against them in the regular season), and they were without their main pitcher and Garcia for half of the WS. It reminds me of the Bucs SB run from 2020, the Packers in 2010, and the Steelers in 2005.
On paper? Yes. In practice? Well... it's a little complicated. The Astros were the only tough roadblock in their way. On paper, the Rays and Orioles should have given them a dogfight for the ages. Instead, Tampa rolled over and let them rip their throats out, while the Orioles got curbstomped by an experienced team, and the Diamondbacks suffered a similar fate. Was it the Road Rangers just flexing their might in enemy territory? Maybe, but all I know is this: THE CURSE IS FINALLY OVER, BABY, RANGERS WS 2023.

Evan Carter I stupid clutch, and El Bombi, typically semien, and Josh Jung. The team is STACKED, and Lowe had a down year this year too. Got some clutch pitching too. Eovaldi had like 5 games of 1 run or less? It's crazy.
IDK I feel like Garcia is the most clutch since he seems to elevate his game so much when it matters. Seager is just always an amazing player no matter the situation.
The Rangers had to play 18 of their last 24 games (7 Regular Season, 11 Postseason) on the road to end the year. And they played games in 4 different time zones.
Actually Seager and Reggie Jackson are the only two players who won World Series MVP for 2 different teams. There are 4 players who won multiple World Series MVPs.
The Rangers shouldn't have been a WC team. They were so much better than their record bc of that late season slide. They were my favorite to win it all going in simply bc their offense was dangerous all year long.
yeah, it was funny when smoltz was talking like they were such an underdog to the Astros. The Rangers lead the division almost all the year and had the exact same regular season record as Houston. God, I hate Smoltz
@@nicholasbrown4109 I agree. I kept trying to tell people that comparing Arizona and Texas was crazy because Texas was so much better than Arizona. They both may have been WildCard teams, but Arizona was the "surprise run". Not Texas.
I wouldn't say for now especially if you looked at the parade speeches when they got back to Arlington Bochy said he wants another championship here meaning there's a guaranteed one within the next 5 years at minimum we may be seeing the beginning of a dynasty without realizing it
Nah it’s gone forever. I’m good with this. I can die now that I’ve seen something I never would have thought would happen. Yes. Champs! They can suck forever now. I’m completed.
I would say it's gone for a looooong time then, winning it few years down the line may be also as special, but this year with the swiped division, with this epic ALCS, with the seed as low as #5, we should remember this year as THE year from now on, like how the Mavs did it in '11.
That game 1 comeback is what flipped the series without that win I think they would’ve gone to at least game 6 and still win though. Anyway reverse sweeping the Astros helped them out a lot and it likely silenced the haters that this was done for even though we were witnessing the beginning of a winning Rangers that beat the previous champs and dominated when they had to . What a run! 🔥
The Rangers had to beat the two winningest AL teams from the 2023 season and then the defending WS champs just to get to the World Series. Sounds like a pretty tough challenge to me! But as a Rangers fan since the 70's, I couldn't be happier.
We went beat the 100 win Rays and Orioles and our Rivals to get to the World Series and beat the D Backs in 5.This team reminded me of the 2019 Washington Nationals which was such a fun team to watch.
You'd have to look at the predictions. I think most people were predicting the Rangers to beat the Rays, but not the Orioles or Astros. Rangers were heavily favored against the DBacks. I kept being told that it would be Orioles and Braves in the World Series.
It was a strange feeling as a cautious Rangers fan to see the Rangers go from spunky underdogs to everybody’s championship lock once reaching the penultimate round.
No way a young team like the Orioles were prepared to take on the astros or go through the intensity of an up and down 7 game series. That is strictly based on what I see
Anybody have the feeling that this type of video would have been made regardless of who won the Series? Both teams took down Goliaths and slayed their demons in their respective runs, two unexpected underdog teams who (according to the media in ALL their _infinite wisdom_) didn’t belong anywhere near the big stage. Yet there they were, two Cinderella teams whose final test was to put out the other team’s _Rocky_ story
well as a Rangers fan for myself I would ssy the first two rounds showed who came to perform and play, bullpen problem for the Rangers? Sure but the Rays and the O's had their own shares of problems, and us Rangers has a reliable group of Sborz and LeClerc(add in Bradford/Chapman if you like) to cover up the blown saves problem, so I may agree to some fans said that if we fend off the Astro in the division race, we may not be where we are now, it is the setbacks and resilience that made it possible.
While the 19’ Nats and 23’ Rangers have a ton of similarities, I think the main difference is that this Rangers team is set up for sustained success while the 19’ Nats were a one season wonder
The Nats weren’t an one-season wonder, they were the last breath of a team with dynasty potential. It’s crazy how people forget they had been frequent playoff contenders since 2012.
Rays literally and figuratively limped into the playoffs. Orioles were not ready for prime time. Diamondbacks won 84 games and then randomly got hot. I still think Washington 2019 is the toughest. Beat the two best teams in baseball (Dodgers and Astros) and swept the Cardinals and their voodoo magic crap.

Kinda wonder if the guy was secretly pitching through injury or something.
Like the Yankees have bought championship teams many times in the past. The Rangers were near the top in buying players. But not at the top. I think they were 4th ? Not sure but where did those teams who spent more then them end up. Whatever works. It's not my money or yours. Draft, trade, buy. Looks like it's a 3 way street. They chose all 3.
Say the Nationals get the edge for beating the Astros, when the rangers did the same thing. Garbage hot take here. Rangers beat the three best teams in the AL to get to the WS, Diamondbacks beat one!
Idk the Pythagorean record has the astros at 94 wins, so it’s more impressive than that 90 number.
