Deadass as a Ranger fan, we don’t know how to feel. We didn’t expect us to be this good so soon. Every loss feels like the beginning of the end until they win again. Strange times indeed.
Very true, I’m waiting until after the all star break to get excited
Bruce Bochy man! He is your skipper, expect winning ways to continue.
Same as us Orioles fan but you all just put us on alert and yanks are already clipping at our heels for second
As a fellow rangers fan, I 100% agree, we’ve been so accustomed to the wheels falling off eventually we just assume it’ll happen sooner or later 😂, but hey maybe it doesn’t 👀
Nocapppp
All I can say as a Ranger’s fan is…this aged well, and nothing else really matters except that we finally did it.
Watching this gem in 2024
I’m a very optimistic Rangers fan and I didn’t think they’d be quite this good. Hope they can keep this up and get some bullpen help at the deadline.
I agree (I’m also a Rangers fan), the bullpen is definitely a big issue but I’m just really surprised with how the season has gone so far so I can’t complain too much haha
@@averagebaseball absolutely. I’m so happy just to be watching a good team again. The last few seasons have been rough.
They need it before the deadline, they need it now!
@@averagebaseball I believe they already signed a Free Agent that used to be a former prospect for the Rays. Last name is Zombro I think? He used to be good I believe before he took a 104 MPH comebacker to the head
They'll choke just like Tampa every year
Andddd they not only made the post season… they went 11-0 on the road and won the World Series 😎 let’s go rags 🎉
Having Bochy is big. He knows how to win and having that figure managing definitely help players
And he got the Rangers their first ring in franchise history in a historic postseason in year one of managing that is mental
Donnie Ecker deserves some credit as well with a full season under his belt. He turned the Giants into home run monsters, and now he’s spent a lot of time with these guys making them better and better
I was at the Braves rangers game on the 17th and saw Garcia go yard off Strider TWICE.
Man…it’s good to be a rangers fan😎. God bless the Texas Rangers.
Serious respect to Baltimore O’s and Dback fans. All of y’all were absolute class acts and showed great support for your team no matter the score and no matter the situation. Mad respect.
Well first they spent 3/4 of a billion dollars on Seager, Semien, Haney, DeGrom and Eovaldi. Secondly they added Bruce Bochy, a 3- time world series champion, and they already had some terrific players in Garcia, Heim, Lowe, Perez and Dunning that just needed the right manager and the few extra pieces to get them over the hump. Then you can add the emergence of Duran, Smith and Tavares and that pretty much sums it up. Attitude and confidence changes a ton of things when you have it and they now do.
Bochy was the key for the culture change. A team is often a reflection of its manager and his calm presence has them believing they can win.
How you overlooked Josh Jungs rookie play to this point is beyond me.
Spending the money doesn’t really mean shit. Look at the Padres
@@LinkRocks 100%
I agree with much there but add Jung and subtract Dunning. As a starter anyways, Dunning was so much better in the long relief role imo
Crazy part is since you made this video Josh Jung has hit for 4 more home runs as his total is 11 on the year. Josh can be a longtime silver slugger and gold glove winner if he continues like he is.
definitely the true successor to beltre.
Id say coaching and the manager played the biggest role this year. Woodward was an awful manager and our pitching and hitting coaches werent anything to write home about. But Bochy knows what hes doing and with Maddux and the hitting coach whos name escapes me right now, they've brought out the full potential of these guys.
Ecker and Hyers were here last year and we started to see results then. Now we're seeing it all being put together along with a stellar rotation.
Money played the biggest role. They bought their entire rotation and their 2 best hitters in free agency the last 2 years.
@@brandondillman5841 Heim was a pick up in 2020 for little to nothing. As was Lowe and Garcia.
@@joshuachaney7338 Heim, Garcia and Lowe are great players, but without the rotation, Semien and Seager they'd still be a 90+ loss team. The $800 mil they spent in free agency is the reason they're a great team.
@@brandondillman5841if that was the case the padres would be first place
As someone getting back into Baseball, I love this kind of content. Keep up the good work!
love to hear that, thank you!
November 1st, 2023: Turns out they weren't a fluke after all. They just clinched their first World Series championship.
As a lifelong Ranger fan I'm excited for the next couple of years. What a surprising year it's been so far
lets goooo
Didn’t age well lol
This video was made before Garcia’s 3 hr game and Seager coming back like a monster. Dunning has been crazy good, Smith and King have been great as well. “I don’t think they’re a serious contender” well we’re still 1st in the division, 3rd in the AL up 2 games on the Astros. It’s fun to be rangers fan again.
I used to go to Rangers game cause its cheap, close, and actually fun to attend... now i got a TRUE reason to go and cheer!! Im just happy that theyre above average lol
As a rangers fan, I was expecting at least next year for us to be this good again. So this season so far at the moment has been quite the ride!
This vid aged very well over 5 months. Good eye. ⚾😍
Video was awesome shocked it only has 70 views you just gotta be patient because this is high quality stuff
Like everyone else is saying, great quality on your first video! Keep it up!
Appreciate it, more coming soon!
New coach, good pitching and Garcia and Seager are such a strong core!
Nathan Eovaldi has been great for us since Jacob’s been on the IL list. New stars are emerging and finding themselves like Ezekiel Duran, Josh Jung, Lordy Tavares etc. I don’t think any of us expected them to explode when Seags went out with injury. Robbie Grossman coming in clutch with his hitting, along with Nathaniel Lowe and Jonah Heim 🤯 this rangers squad is gross and I’m hoping they can stay consistent throughout the year. ALSO. Bullpen needs major help 😭 can’t have Nate the great pitching a whole 9 every time he’s on the mound
1st round exit.. Texas is for losers
At this point, Degrom and Nasty Nate might be the best 1-2 punch in baseball( when healthy of course.)
Hey man keep up the great work! Great content, especially for your first video.
Thank you! Definitely more coming soon :)
Whether Jake pitches or not it was a W signing for us. This is a guy who can be a great mentor for all the young guys in the org like leiter and rocker.
How? All that money and no chance he plays again? If he does you hope he does not get hurt. Also, how is he going to help out those boys when they are working there way through. Rocker was not the marquee signing either they just signed him so they could poach their real target from going to college
I do love me some Rangers content. Great vid
here after game one in the books go rangers
WORLD SERIES 2023
This ages like my sterile semen 🤤
This emergence has been pretty wild from a Texas Rangers fan's point of view. I knew hiring Bochy was an amazing land for the team especially a young team he can mold a culture around, but I've been scrambling to learn who these guys even are after watching very little Rangers baseball the past few seasons. I knew our farm system was full of talent, but this has been a surprise. But as a Rangers fan I will say there is nothing to really be too excited about until we're through August. The one big thing the boys have going for them now is not playing on a 130-degree field in the middle of July and August.
This is your first ever video, wth? This is amazing!
Now their in the ALCS!
Been waiting for this for this is so long. Line up from top to bottom is dangerous, finally have a good starting rotation. Only thing that can or could stump them is their bullpen but have some hidden gems potentially in the minors
Hey man keep it up this is sick don’t lose any faith because of numbers cause it’ll grow in time fs
Amazing first video! Keep up the awesome work! 😁
Awesome video, love your editing style and look forward to more from you
Good hitting. Good pitching. No secret.
Spending over $800 mil in free agency certainly didn't hurt. lol
Good call... They're in the World series
Great breakdown, thought you were a big time baseball RUclips page. Keep up the good work!
I didn't realize this was done before the world series
Being in Texas my whole life its cool to see them grow from a team with taking w’s was hard to it being easy
Are the Texas Rangers a fluke? I guess we will never know!
Great video but I recommend going forward that you change your intro music, as it replicates baseball doesn’t exist’s style and it would be cool to differentiate
Agreed! Honestly I didn’t think so many people would notice lol, I just used it because it fits so well. I’m always looking for other songs though
I think you should revisit this video, I also thought we were a couple of years away lol
Hey, it's one of the few times that you can say, "This aged well!"
The quality of this video was amazing and i am wondering how this channel does not have more subscribers. Great Job
Quality. Keep at it.
you have a baseball doesnt exist feel and i really like it keep it up
Another thing is the lack of shifts. Rangers faced the most (or close to it) shifts last year with Corey Seager facing the most in all of MLB.
very underrated creator, love your content!
Our main issue is the bullpen. Our offense is excellent but there will always be low run games, and our starters have been keeping early runs low, but the bullpen has been allowing way too many runs. These guys shouldn't have to go out and score 7-10 runs every night just to hold leads.
Simien has a 25 game hit streak which is 🔥🔥🔥🇨🇱
Love Jonah last year and am glad he's taking the next step this year. Hope he gets into the All-Star game this year
OAK CLIFF THAT'S MY HOOD, HOW BOUT THEM RANGERS 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
great video but i’d recommend changing the intro music instead of using the same music as baseball doesn’t exist
I also think the hiring of Bruce Bochy helped
i was cautiously optimistic before the year started and figured they'd probably be at least a year away from becoming an elite team, i didn't even want to get my hopes up and expect them to make the playoffs, so seeing how great of a start they've had is a pleasant surprise, hopefully they can keep this up, especially with the astros not being too far behind
3 things why the Rangers are so good. Starting pitching vastly improved, defense and offense improved through better trades and improved farm system, world class leadership. That's why!!!!
I think the biggest key to success...Bruce and Mike. Two dudes that the team goes to battle for. Mike is, in my opinion, the best pitching coach in the game. The Rangers had an excellent staff the first time he was here. Add that Bruce has coached multiple world series teams...and... get ready, the Rangers are going to be good for a long time.
Also, no I don't know them on a first-name basis. I just don't know how to spell either last name. Embarrassing knowing Mike's brother is one of the best but I can never remember if it is an O or a U and I'm too lazy/tired to look it up.
Yep adding Bochy and Maddux showed the players how serious the Rangers are about winning. They both brought instant credibility to the room and now Semien and Seager are comfortable so they can lead.
As an Astro fan as long as the division runs through Texas ill be happy.
🔥 editing bro, keep it up!!!
4:11 "lineup barely changed from last year" Not necessarily true, their lineup included guys like Brad Miller, Kole Calhoun, Andy Ibanez, Willie Calhoun and changed throughout the season with guys such as Nick Solak, Zach Reks, Elier Hernandez, Steele Walker, Charlie Culberson and at one point they acquired Steven Duggar while they were still playoff hopeful which was an awful move. It also didn't help that Semien had a horrid 1st 2 months to start the season.
Great video. Keep it up
Everyone should know when they acquired Bruce Bochy that they were on the right track .
Marcus deserves a ring this year
Great video. I would have guessed this was a big channel given the high quality of content. Keep it up man you’ll go far!
great vid! if this is somehow your first channel i wish you the best!
Definitely think the shift had a major impact on the Rangers offense. So many rangers were always hitting in the shift last year especially Seager
Bruce Bochy is definitely a huge factor
Having a 3x World Series Manager also helps
Out of the park baseball predicted this, it also predicted the Mets as a 500 team this season…
Jonah Heim is also a switch hitter, helps when making a lineup knowing he will produce no matter who is pitching
It's Boch... How is he not mentioned here.
what is crazy is Bochy has cost them 5 or 6 games just being dumb with the pitchers. His starter can have a 7 inning shutout going and he isnt gonna pitch that 8th inning..no way.. He will die by that bullpen just wait. The Rangers are having their best season ever and the Astros are still right behind them just biding their time having their average season.
If the Rangers win a world series and the cowboys win Superbowl however unlikely would be the greatest year in sports of all time
The rangers catcher has a +900 OPS???! There’s no way he maintains that right? Even if he falls back to 825-850 he’ll still be a top 5 offensive catcher.
Probably not. He did the same thing last season. Was amazing the first half of the season, then fell off hard in the second half.
I think some of 22's offensive woes was a result of an inconsistent lineup. We had a lot of 1 or 2 days-at-a-time guys. And it showed.
Could do an entire episode on Adolis Garcia's journey to the MLB and the trade that brought him to Arlington.
World series champion Texas rangers!
Those new unis are fire too.
As a rangers fan seeing who we were getting I predicted us to come in 2nd in the division and possibly be in playoffs
Here after World Series dub
It reminds me of a yachting race that when the when all the other yachts were becalmed one yacht seemed to be streaking past the others. The truth was that the yacht had dropped its anchor and all the other yachts were going backward because of a current. Perhaps all the other teams are going backward because of fans' "support" for Pride nights and this team is enjoying the consistent fan support they have always had for a principled team. Interesting huh?
If not for a very leaky bullpen we probably are 5-6 games better than we are now. The last couple weeks have been rough and the starters have fallen off quite a bit. Getting Chapman should help the bullpen. Obviously the entire lineup wasn’t gonna keep raking like that all season but the core guys (semein, seager, Garcia, Jung, heim, Lowe) should be enough to carry us. Evan carter is a top 10 prospect in baseball and he might be ready to contribute in the second half
We are doing great with our offense and our starting pitchers, the only problem that might come to bite us is the bullpen, we gotta fix that bullpen.
There is one main reason - Bruce Bochy !!
He also has the most rings of any manager in the last ten years.
Oh, he was also retired for a few of those years.
Watching this after the Rangers won the WS
Several players are over achieving... and the biggest stat you can look at is average with runners in scoring position... it is very high... thats really all you need to go along with a strong rotation where every game there is a good starter.
My guy was taking some in-depth notes on baseball doesnt exist vids lol
Great content. You've earned yourself a sub.
This is one of the rare cases where a team's expenditures in FA actually works out in the field
I think next 2-3 years is when we are dangerous and after that depends on how the prospects do
Go Rangers!
Thank you for not mentioning the bullpen...
Pretty simple, the prospects are blooming into what they were projected. Duran has been heaven sent, thank you Yankees lol. Joana heim has been outstanding and of course high dollar players are playing like high dollar players. They are a scary scary team. Once degrom gets back that's your ace. Perez is a beast, gray is really good, heaney is hit or miss and Dane dunning has been really good. They just need to add some bullpen pieces, the bullpen is awful.
Well they are in the World Series.....
Made a solid video about how solid the Rangers are and hedged at the very end. They aren't a team to watch two years from now. They are going to battle for the division crown...this year.
I’m just trying to be cautiously optimistic. completely agree that they’ll be competitive, I just think they’re missing a few key parts to win the WS this year. I could be wrong, hopefully I am because I’m a Rangers fan 😂
@@averagebaseball outside of two bullpen upgrades and a better bench bat than Brad Miller I don't see many holes 🕳️
It just feels like the entire bullpen is unreliable besides Will Smith, but other than that they seem very solid
@@averagebaseball I think that generally weakness show up more by contrast when the majority of the roster is operating at world series contender level. They have the long man in Dunning and if you add another middle reliever and another end game option from the right side...then it the roles start to become clearer. Then again maybe Hernandez settles down but if the team continues to mash and win at this rate they will definitely be buyers at the trade deadline.
Without trash cans too. REAL Texas baseball baby!!
The only reason semien had a decent year last year was bc of his first 2 months being a terrible hitter. Past those 2 months semien had an amazing season. So hes just picking up right where he left off
It’s not that they are a fluke but pretty much every player is having career years at the plate and that can’t keep up throughout the entire year. They will come back to their norms eventually.
They also lead the league in BABIP which says they also are having some good fortune.
Eovaldi is also pitching extremely above all his norms. The Rangers are basically getting career best season all throughout the roster but especially at the plate.
?
So much for Jake. As a Mets fan, toldjaso.
Definitely think they are already WS contenders considering they have a great balance of youth and veterans that are all contributing a lot. Adolis Garcia should be the frontrunner for AL MVP at this point and if they have health going into October Id be very optimistic about their chances in any series.
El bombi!!!
I’d say Semien is the frontrunner. He’s leading all of MLB in WAR right now - yes, even Ohtani and Acuna.
If deGrom and the rotation is healthy in October the Rangers will be a tough out in the playoffs.
Gotta get through the astros doeee
@@perc3136 Wrong. Trashtros suck.
Let’s go Rangers!
Just wait for the Astros
Rangers own the Trashtros
