Texas vs. New York

Dont give up on the Rangers......I actually like how the series against the Rays went having to pitch Lee in Game 5

Now Lee doesn't have to pitch in Arlington until Game 7, if there is a Game 7. He has not had the best record in Arlington

Wilson vs. Sabathia - Hopefully will be a good matchup, Yankees have had issues with left handed pitchers, but they will need a good outing from him. If the bullpen gets a lot of play in the first game that will not be a good thing at all.

Lewis vs. Pettitte - Should be a better matchup for the Rangers. both have about the same ERA. Just need Texas to give Lewis run support to give him confidence. That is one thing that hasnt really happened this season is a lot of run support when Lewis pitches. He had a great outing against TB, but he didn't go deep into the game. He has shown to be better in Arlington then on the road

Lee vs. Hughes - If Lee pitches like he did against TB, Lee all day long.

Hunter vs. Burnett - Put your money on the over and whoever can get to their closer first wins

If the Rangers can take 1 out of the first 2, I think they have a serious chance to take the series with Lee pitching game 3.

If they can make it to game 7, I see the Rangers winning.....If I were to put money on it, Yanks in 6.

I wanna say Texas has no shot, as I think they were 0-3 against the Yankees in three series in the late 90s, and they could be facing the same mental block the Twins had against New York. But this is baseball, and the Yankees ARE a year older. And Texas has home field, despite six fewer wins.

    • More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?
    • That is literally what I am talking about. Those were 53 man cuts. Not at the beginning of camp.  I would say the odds of Barno being back are extremely thin.
