And he's taken all three teams he's managed to the WSHe’s got 4 and counting. He’s approaching GOAT.
Hard to be a GOAT with a sub-.500 record, but he's in the conversation anywayHe’s got 4 and counting. He’s approaching GOAT.
He is not.Last night's game was unbelievably awful. I only watched a few innings. I haven't seen anything about Sewald since he failed in that game. Anybody hear if he's okay?
Yes it was.Ova. I go to take shower now. Congrats, Nate Fans!
Only player in history with 3 WS wins in a row with 3 different teams. Clearly the Sox need to acquire this guy for 2024.That's 3 WS wins in a row for Will Smith. .3 WAR this year, but the ring's the thing
Four of those five have won their league pennant, which is just as big an accomplishment as winning the World Series was for the first 60 years it was played. The Mariners are the most suffering of all, having never made a World Series appearance. That's despite winning 116 games one season and having Junior, A-Rod, the Unit, and Edgar all in their primes at other times.
You mean the state or the team?I don't like Texas much, but very happy for Nate.
I mean, unless I'm missing something, he was horrible for MIL this year (over a 9 ERA), was released, picked up by TEX on a minor league deal, activated for the final two regular season games (didn't pitch) and not for any of the postseason rosters, so didn't throw a pitch for TEX this year.Matt Bush...World Series Champion. Unbelievable story
Twenty years after being drafted #1, multiple drug and alcohol issues/suspensions and three years in prison, Matt Bush is a World Series Champ.
You can't make this stuff up.
I searched for info on 2022:Teams can choose who to give rings to, right?
Julio was my best friend's favorite player, so after Cleveland traded him away, my friend's dad would take us up to see a game whenever the Rangers were in town. I remember a Charlie Hough vs John Farrell slugfest that year, which Cleveland won thanks to home runs by the immortal Brad Komminsk and Paul Zuvella. The Rangers were lucky to win 83 games while relying on 60+ starts from Hough and Bobby Witt. They did have a young Kevin Brown though and I saw a young Kenny Rogers come in from the bullpen.Those Sierra Franco years, particularly ‘89, were fun to watch, too bad they didn’t go far.
How did that team only win 83?
19-20 year old Sosa and Juangone on the bench too
edit: oh yeah, Bobby the Fifth
It's crazy. He gets a ring and a partial share I assume and did absolutely nothing. Wild life.I mean, unless I'm missing something, he was horrible for MIL this year (over a 9 ERA), was released, picked up by TEX on a minor league deal, activated for the final two regular season games (didn't pitch) and not for any of the postseason rosters, so didn't throw a pitch for TEX this year.
If you did make it up, hopefully you'd write a final chapter where he actually got on the field at some point.
The Rangers had a losing record in their last 102 games (50-52) after a sizzling 40-20 start.
They lost 102 games two years ago and 94 last year. And how many teams had ever lost 196 games in the two seasons before they won the World Series? Right you are. That would be none.
The team that won the World Series had a bullpen with more blown saves (33) than actual saves (30).
The team that won the World Series led its division for 149 straight days, blew that lead in August … fell all the way to third place in September … then charged back to lead again by 2 1/2 games with four to play, only to blow that lead, too, on the final day of the season.
This is a franchise that has lost more games (5,217) since it first came into being, in 1961, than any other team in baseball — and would be a mere 839 games behind the Yankees if we were keeping track of the last 63 seasons as if they were one never-ending season.
Edit: I saw this in the article's comments, weird wild stuff:Only one other franchise in any major North American professional sport — those Minnesota Vikings — has been in existence as long as the Rangers/Senators without winning at least one championship.
The opponents the Rangers faced on the ROAD, where they didn't lose a single game:
R - Rays
O - Orioles
A - Astros
D - Diamondbacks
Okay, I'm convinced that we are actually in a simulation now.The opponents the Rangers faced on the ROAD, where they didn't lose a single game:
