I think I associate Nelson Cruz with like four other franchises before the Mariners.
A Mariner for life.
We’ve signed
@ncboomstick23
to a one-day contract, and he’ll retire as a Seattle Mariner.

Eric Nadel collapsing into his seat after making the call that was the culmination of a life spent bringing the Texas Rangers to life for us is perhaps the definitive moment for what we are as Rangers fans. Bless him and thank you, Levi, for bringing us this gift.
After 45 years, Eric Nadel finally got to call the final out of a World Series.
Earlier that day, I sat down with Eric to talk about his life in broadcasting, a “bucket list” call, and his longtime broadcast partner, the late Mark Holtz.

When Elvis Andrus played his last game with the Rangers, he had played in nearly 22% of games in franchise history up to that point, many more when you count the postseason. One in every five Rangers games ever had Elvis Andrus in it. This is well deserved.

A World Series win honestly does so much. If, say, the Rangers had lost Game 6 of the ALCS and we were talking this winter about how Texas is now tapped out financially, this Scherzer news would have ruined my week. Now I'm just like *shrug* *puts on locker room celebration hat*

The Rangers are going to win like 85 games, sneak into the playoffs with an October rotation that has a combined 15 starts, have Cody Bradford lead the team in IPs but pitch one inning out of the bullpen in the playoffs, and make everyone mad when they win the World Series again.

I still can't get over how unlike this win was to anything the Rangers did during the regular season. They just saved it all up for the World Series and produced an all-time game.
A bottom of the 9th game-tying home run and an extra-inning walk-off in the World Series?! 🤯
What else would be No. 1 on our list of Top Games in 2023?

Joey Gallo, the AL leader in OPS, a noted one dimensional player, is 2nd in the league in walks and intentional walks, is tied with Dee Gordon, the league's best baserunner, in speed calculations, and is a CFer who is 2nd in the league in assists. That's a girthy dimension.

"The official World Series film is an annual tradition that dates back to 1943, when the U.S. State Department commissioned MLB to produce a recap of the World Series for troops overseas."

I feel gutted that Joey Gallo is no longer a Ranger. I feel let down by the organization that they let things get to this point. Joey Gallo is 100% the kind of guy you win with. That he won't be here because the rebuild has been a botch job from the start breaks my damn heart.

Rougned Odor AL rankings, second half:
Hits, 41 (1st)

HR, 9 (3rd)
Runs, 30 (1st)
RBI, 30 (2nd)
OPS, 1.120 (2nd)
fWAR, 2.1 (2nd)
You could make a pretty easy case that Rougie's been the best player in the league since the All-Star game.

Eovaldi has saved the Rangers in so many ways with this stretch of brilliance. He's now pitched 41 2⁄3 of a possible 45 innings in his last five starts to essentially give the tragic bullpen an extra day off each outing.

Thinking back on that Rangers game, there was probably no more than a handful of times this season that the bullpen was able to completely get through a game unscathed through multiple innings and they did it in Game 1 on the road against the AL's top team. Baseball is weird.
