I had to hold back tears after the last out, and the night isn't over, so they may still come, because this has been a LONG time coming. I simply cannot get enough of, or thank this team enough for what they've done. To reach the goals you want, sometimes, you have to face down a nightmare. The Rangers have been a nightmare of ours for a long time, and tonight, we faced them, and more importantly, we BEAT them. This was one of the finest games of the season, and it happened when it needed to happen the most.

It was said months back that we deserve this season given what we've had to go through the last 15 years. Well, we deserve this win tonight, and this entire experience, and it's not over yet. Now, on to the next challenge, an all familiar one. It can be done...

      Love the Harvey trade idea. I didn't realize just how good he has been over the last 2+ years

      Well if he's as good as Todd Helton was, he won't be down any list of our best hitters, unless we are employing the AL Allstar team. I'm not sure how familiar that you are with who Todd Helton was. But he was a career .316 hitter with a .414 on base and a .953 OPS. Of course he played his home games at Coors, but that is still kind of like amazingly awesome.

      I remember listening to a podcast, I think it was on Steve Cohen, where a whistleblower ran the numbers on his hedge funds and basically said that the returns he was getting were mathematically impossible.  Like there was no way someone could be that good at their job.  He was ignored but turns out he was right as the books were being cooked in a big way. I think about the same thing sometime with how this team has drafted, like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop because there's no way they could be this good.

      I was speaking about replicating production this season when the goal is to win a World Series for the 1 season that we have Corbin Burnes. I hope you’re right that the accumulation of talent is too big to go wrong, but I am a much more cautious. I like where Cowser and Westburg are at, but I’ll need to see it for more than 3 weeks (though I have always had less doubts about Cowser). I’ll also need to see it from others as they get promoted. As much as I believe that Mayo is going to be elite, he still has to prove it. The track record right now is great, so I hope it continues.

      A deal with Miami makes too much sense to get Scott back and also get one of their young SP. They have the worst offense in the NL and we have position players galore to trade back.

      I agree with the concept of “unsung hero” It’s like when people are complaining about a failure, and they say, “you had ONE job!” Well, Mr. Mateo had one job, and he did it perfectly; and now he’s going to go back into the closet until the next time we need him to do his one job perfectly. That’s definitely worth something. @Fiver6565 said it best.

      Let's hope that's an issue when he's available. I could see Hays doing an extended minor league rehab if the team is doing well and everyone is hitting.
