Giants-Rangers Series Preview
This post is going up so late on a Friday (sorry about that) it’s plausible that you might be the only person to read it. If that’s the case, let me tell you what I think about the Texas Rangers: I think they have a great chance to prove the idea that Bruce Bochy is a Hall of Fame manager, but only every other year.
Last season’s 78-84 finish was a World Series hangover year not unlike the one we experienced with the San Francisco Giants in 2013. If the Giants had Even Year Bullsh*t, perhaps the Rangers have that Odd Year Sizzle. Bruce Bochy’s club is off to a 14-11 start, slightly better than their pace last season, where after getting to 22-17 went 56-67 the rest of the way.
