Simply an epic run if you follow them - they were undefeated for a while in the post season! After what happened 10 years ago too…such a sweet moment

11 straight road wins in the playoffs, an MLB record.
By the way, here are the first letters of the teams the Rangers beat, in order;
Rays
Orioles
Astros
Diamondbacks
Yeah, that spells ROAD, lol.
3 road wins in Arizona to win it all...
Talk about a team of "destiny"!

we had the baseball world cup earlier this year with around 15 countries. is that a world series if not all 200 countries were present?
the players in this world series were from u.s, cuba, dominican republic, venezevala, canada and a bunch of other latin america countries.

As an Astros fan I'm happy for my friends I have up in that area, the week following our run last year was a lot of fun.
I think it's hilarious how both teams were completely unable to win at home in the Houston/Arlington series.
The Baseball World Cup is certainly more notable and exciting than the World Series at this point imo, can't wait for the next one. I also got into baseball through the KBO though, so I'm all for anything that brings exposure to players from other leagues.

Last year it was Houston another Texas team for some context, to cheer up Arizona fans at least you’ve been exposed to playoff baseball.

Good win. Who would had thought Texas and Dbacks would be in the finals. Dbacks were a barely above .500 team and allowed more runs to score than they scored in the regular season. Both teams had shit pitching too.
But it all came together being hot at the right time. Texas can score shitloads of runs.
And ya. My Jays suck ass. Every buddy of mine and myself had a hunch in preseason they team would struggle. Gave up too much hitting for defence and pitching. Came true. I made it a point nobody wins world series on defence. They had one of the best defences in the league but made no difference. The differential in runs saved from defence will never overcome losing a bunch of heavy hitters. The replacement bats they got in return were terrible. Everyone was like: we need Teoscar back.
Cant believe they traded Moreno and Gurriel for Varsho. Saw that a mile away a bad trade. Moreno is an awesome up and coming catcher and they got rid of him. Wow.

You know whenever anyone says they don't believe in God or the supernatural turn them towards sports. Too much odd and bizarre shit happens that logic can't explain yet you can't help but think there's something out there having fun at our expense.
