Eovaldi and LeClerc have been clutch in post season, 3-0 for Eovaldi and 3 saves for LeClerc...LeClerc at 98mph is throwing as hard as he ever did before getting hurt 4-5 years ago.

7-0 in the 2023 postseason….
I really hate to do what I am about to do, because it will be very painful for you.

What a game. Did not expect to take two out of Houston. Way to go RANGERS!!! Surprising but kinda not surprising. The Astros have to get mad to win. Again, either way, I love this series.

Explain.. They grinded so hard the last 10 games Got the Wild Card vs 1st place I want them to keep playing w no breaks which is what they’ve done so far and it’s worked They don’t need 5 days off, grind and go to the next

But we haven't exactly played poorly in Arlington or even on the road, though. It'll continue to be a grind for both teams for the rest of the series- and that's what makes it great. We Texans don't get something like this very often. Need to savor every bit of it.

My 5 thoughts…..
Pitching….really, for maybe the first time since the Senators became Rangers.
Bochy….yes, the Rangers have had some great managers…..but this guy! He’s shown these guys how to win.
A lineup opposing pitchers can’t let up on.
Jung, Taveras, and Carter….finally, homegrown talent to build a foundation on.
Ownership…..again, for the first time….hired the right people, spent the money, and got the heck out of the way.
