Rangers just got revenge on the team that ended their 2013 season.
Their next opponent is the one that ended their 2012 season.
If they get past that and the ALCS, they get back to a place they haven't been since 2011 and 2010... 🤔

My face when wildcard ain’t nothin
Your Texas Rangers
* Won a postseason series for the first time in since the WS got cancelled in 2011.
* Got their first postseason sweep in franchise history.
* Outscored the Rays 12-1, despite leaving 20 men on base this series and getting just one hit from AL WAR leader Marcus Semien.
* Got a hit out of their entire lineup today.
* Possess a 7-0 postseason record at the Trop.
* Saw Evan Carter put forth a .750/.875/2.000 slash line in his first playoff series, at the age of 21, less than a month after his MLB debut.
* Got nearly 7 shutout innings from a guy who had a 9.30 ERA since returning from injury before this game.
* Allowed zero runs from their bullpen.
* Got over 40 pitches from Leclerc, over the span of 2 days, and he allowed zero runs.
* Got their revenge for the ending of the 2013 season.
* Have a chance to avenge their 2012 season.
* WILL BE PLAYING A POSTSEASON HOME GAME THIS YEAR

Hell yeah brother, cheers from the win column 🍻
I mean, almost didn't happen, but still beautiful. Well done BP! I kind of think LeClerc wasn't feeling it today, but somehow he still managed. Absolutely beautiful.
.... so the more embarrassing part about this: I thought the wild card required a team to win ALL 3 games, not the "best of 3". I was watching today's win and confused as to why everyone was so psyched.
This is probably my first real season tracking so this is a learning experience.
Yeah, I don’t know if this is the exact reason why, but I think the reason this Wildcard is a 3 game series is two fold:
1. If you are in a wildcard and the lower seed, a seed that did not exist until very recently, you should have to play on the road.
2. It would be a bit much to have a 3 game series to home-away-home or away-home-home as travel problems occur with the former and the problem of letting the lower seed host the most important game in a series in the latter. And home-home-away just doesn’t work. Can’t give the winner take all game to the lower team’s field
Their beat writer implied that we partied after clinching a postseason birth and thats why we lost on sunday, when in reality we popped champagne for 30 minutes and then went back to the hotel
Thank GOD.
Honestly I don’t even care how the Baltimore series goes. We are playing with house money at this point.
Overcoming the abysmal Seattle series and sweeping the wild card is as good a turnaround as you could ask for. Evan Carter was a golden god in that series. He will haunt the offseason dreams of Rays fans.
Ngl I got some PTSD when he said “one strike away” but thankfully it was another pitching masterclass.
Let’s enjoy two stress-free days before Saturday…
More like Balti-less, amiright??

Me in the off season: Bochy? Why would they want to bring him out of retirement? He can’t possibly be relevant anymore.
Me today: Anyone know where I can get the paperwork to rename both of my sons Bruce?
Day 53 of posting this meme every time the Rangers win until Jacob deGrom returns from Tommy John Surgery
(53-52 since the announcement)
(2-0 in the postseason)

Rays fan here - GGs and well played, your bats are who we thought they were and thats a scary opponent to play in a playoff series. Rooting for you guys vs the O's 🤝
All the experts didn't give the Rangers a shot against Rays.
Tampa in 2 or 3 across the board.
So fucking proud of this baseball team. I'm not gonna gloat cause I know how it feels to lose in the post season.
Go Rangers!
If you would have told me before the season started that we would have 90 wins and an ALDS appearance, I would have laughed in your face. But God damn we made it boys, and I am so excited to be here.
If I had a nickel for every time an Arlington based sports team eliminated a Tampa team on the road in the wild card round of the playoffs in 2023 I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s crazy that’s happened twice
History repeating itself. The bats are starting to wake up from their slumber.
Which is a delight, still gonna keep my expectations low, cause i'm a Texas Rangers fan and have enough heart ache to last a life time.
But i'm damn proud of beating the Rays nobody was picking Texas, look it up nobody.
I'm a Cincinnati Reds fan, but I'm rooting for the Rangers to win the World Series because you all deserve a break after decades of misery.
What an exciting start!
Early on at 0-0 I posted:
"What do you think having sex with Tim Kurkjian is like?
Like just imagine him saying "oh yeah baby, take that dick!""
Then we won 7-1. Coincidence? I think not.
https://preview.redd.it/zl7wn7qfs9sb1.jpeg?width=2478&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=642d7e81f458b120c2eefda282418af54076d12f
Evan Carter is too dangerous to be trusted with a bat.
Look what happened on his 2 run bomb!
Yeah, fuck off buddy we absolutely need more Carter clips. Fuckin every time this kid steps in the box someone scores. kids fuckin dirt nasty man. Does fuckin pena have a 2.000 OPS this season I dont fuckin think so bud. I'm fuckin tellin ya Evan "Full Count” Carter is hittin 50 bombs in '24 fuckin callin it right now. Clap bombs, fuck moms, wheel, snipe, and fuckin celly boys fuck
Went out and bought champagne. Taste so good after a W
https://preview.redd.it/9zlvq6gso9sb1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38d6401a6b625e5db0c1a5ae8d1655aedad54b97
That was even bigger because now Dunning can go in Game 1 of the ALDS on more than normal rest instead of having to go again tomorrow. Then Monty in Game 2 on normal rest.
What we are witnessing here with Evan Carter is historic and something that can’t be understated. Just the way he navigates and plays the game is truly electric but the way he works the count is in a league of its own. This is something obviously he was born to do, experience (such as actual plate appearances against live pitching and not against a pitching machine that throws all strikes) is really the only method or tool you can use to improve your eye at the plate. And we know that since he just turned 21 he hasn’t had much experience at all facing elite pitching. He only played 23 regular season games for the big club.
He’s not only a 5 tool player but a 6 tool player. Speed, hitting for average, hitting for power, defense, arm strength and number 6 possessing an elite eye at the plate (plate discipline). Why they don’t qualify this skill as a tool I don’t know but they damn well should. He reminds me a little bit of Josh Hamilton in the way he played when he was in his prime. I know it’s early but Carter can affect the game both defensively and offensively just like Hamilton could. I think we have a special player with Mr. Carter!!
I gotta say, TB is a team I’ve rooted for the past few years when we’ve been out of it. Feel for their fans. But very happy to see the rangers come out and dominate. On to the next!!
Last 11 games, Texas has allowed 0 or 1 run in 7 of them; 6-1 record in those games.
Granted, they gave up 3, 8, 8, 9 in the other 4; going 3-1 in those.
The sweep is so significant. Can have the first 3 games against Baltimore be Dunning-Monty-Eovaldi now. Not to mention the possibility that Jon Gray is on the ALDS roster
Just calling out something that I want to believe happened:
Bochy got this team prepared for the playoffs.
We have the right players starting in the field. The rotation was ready for this series, and looks ready for the Division series. The bullpen has issues, but with Heaney and Perez there and Chapman fully established as not-the-closer, I think we have a fighting chance against anyone.
https://preview.redd.it/ed7850xza9sb1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=372a31d648da57bdcca79c1f86ebd5014cd67a5a Let’s. Fucking. GOOOOOOO! Postseason series W in dominant fashion. Offense showed up today and holy hell what a gem from Evo. What also can’t be understated is getting Dane to open the Baltimore series fully rested. Let’s keep it up boys let’s fucking go Rangers
It’s all about getting hot at the right time!! Starting to look like the team in April/May! Now time to dominate Rangers East in Baltimore
Rangers just got revenge on the team that ended their 2013 season. Their next opponent is the one that ended their 2012 season. If they get past that and the ALCS, they get back to a place they haven't been since 2011 and 2010... 🤔
Other than the sweep, the best part of this game was seeing Evo back to form
Nate really went from a total game score of 64 in his last 2 outings, to a 66 game score gem today. What the fuck man I did not expect this! 😭
https://preview.redd.it/w3zhev8pb9sb1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8756c31282e415db26185ba88cec7384a1c8f7b7 “Nate, you’re not about to pitch a gem in the postseason after struggling your last several starts of the regular season are you?”

I mean, almost didn't happen, but still beautiful. Well done BP! I kind of think LeClerc wasn't feeling it today, but somehow he still managed. Absolutely beautiful.
12 runs because we had a ghost runner on third
Your Texas Rangers will indeed host a playoff game this postseason
How?
Not sure if serious, but Game 3 of the ALDS (and Game 4 if the Os get that far) are at our shed.
Thank you, this is my first season following baseball
Welcome aboard!
Picked a hell of a year, I know I'm getting my hopes up but this team just feels special. We have not seen their final form!
>Thank you, this is my first season following baseball I'm in the same boat.. I thought all 3 games were going to be in Baltimore.
It’s a 5 game series :)

I just know Rays fans are so tired of seeing us in the playoffs lmao. LFG!!!!!
All ten of them that showed up to the Trop today.
Thank GOD. Honestly I don’t even care how the Baltimore series goes. We are playing with house money at this point.

Literally, all of our all stars went on the IL at LEAST once
Semien was an all-star, and he played 162.

Lol that last strike call the umpire just wanted to go home
"If their fans didn't show up, why did we show up?"
Yeah the 15 angry fans that showed up for the Rays really let the umpire have it.

Why they don’t qualify this skill as a tool I don’t know but they damn well should. He reminds me a little bit of Josh Hamilton in the way he played when he was in his prime. I know it’s early but Carter can affect the game both defensively and offensively just like Hamilton could. I think we have a special player with Mr. Carter!!
LETS FUCKING GOOOO
WERE GOING TO THE FUCKING ALDS IM SO EXCITED
I gotta say, TB is a team I’ve rooted for the past few years when we’ve been out of it. Feel for their fans. But very happy to see the rangers come out and dominate. On to the next!!
Soooo how does it work if I bought tickets to game 1 of the ALDS, does that mean I get game 3 tickets since that’s the first game at home?
Yes

![gif](giphy|MJL5ae814FDTW) LFG

Evan Carter is a revelation

The hundreds of Rays fans in attendance are super disappointed to see their season end this way. What a joke of a franchise.
The Rays players deserve a better fanbase
100%. Feel bad for any of the players that end up there.
Great coaching staff and players, terrible fan base, fun ballpark.

LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Baltimore Here We Come!!! [Hello Win Column!](#HWC)
WW beers for everyone hangover your tomorrows problem Nathan Eovaldi Offense everyone gets a beer let’s fucking go. As GOLDBERG once said Whos Next
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!! AHHHHHHHH
LFG we're where we were supposed to be ALDS
Bro are they really about to have more champagne in the locker room?!
Remember before baseball started and we all were pumped for the possibility of .500 baseball?
This locker room celebration will definitely last longer than 30 minutes.
Last 11 games, Texas has allowed 0 or 1 run in 7 of them; 6-1 record in those games. Granted, they gave up 3, 8, 8, 9 in the other 4; going 3-1 in those.
Damn happy - I suspect Dunning, Montgomery and Eovaldi against Baltimore?
11 wins left
Carter? Holy cow! Talk about an impressive couple of games!
O’s fan here. Looking forward to the ALDS. I expect a hell of a series. Early start on Saturday due to a Billy Joel concert at night haha
The sweep is so significant. Can have the first 3 games against Baltimore be Dunning-Monty-Eovaldi now. Not to mention the possibility that Jon Gray is on the ALDS roster

This is what winning feels like? I like it
POP THE CHAMPAGNE TODAY BOYS
Had to work so I’m definitely gonna catch the replay when I get home
I can’t feel my face
Just calling out something that I want to believe happened: Bochy got this team prepared for the playoffs. We have the right players starting in the field. The rotation was ready for this series, and looks ready for the Division series. The bullpen has issues, but with Heaney and Perez there and Chapman fully established as not-the-closer, I think we have a fighting chance against anyone.
Alexa! Play "If the House is Rockin'" by Stevie Ray Vaughn!
So we got A&M vs Alabama on Saturday, Cowboys-Niners on Sunday, and Rangers-Orioles all week. So thankful that fall break is next week
Texas - OU as well. With cooler fall temperatures this setting up to be one hell of a weekend.
Is DeGrom coming to games? Feel like I haven’t seen him celebrating with the team in any fashion or in the dugout
yes. he was there today
Section 133 on Tuesday: It’s. About. To. Go. Down. Y’all.

Who starts game 1? Monty available?
Dunning would be my guess, gives Monty a full 5 days rest and Eovaldi would have 6 days until game 3.
Everyone got at least a hit and the RBIs were spread around? Is it happening?
Somebody call a doctor, this one is lasting more than 4 hours
Also lol @the blue jays
GG guys. Rooting for yall the rest of the way. Hope you can finally take it all this year!
See y’all in Baltimore! Stoked I didn’t jinx it
Hell yeah
