Because you're on the way up.

What if the Texas Rangers make the playoffs at 80-82?

How does that team and fan base feel with all that money and a World Series a few years ago?

I think that is directly tied to how well they do once they get into the playoffs.

And seeing what I saw yesterday from DeGrom, I'd say I'd feel pretty damn good about getting it.

He just threw him over and over.

Moises Ballesteros swung through, what, 11 of them?

He had 22 by himself to DeGrom.

Every fastball Ballesteros saw, he swung through.

See, I was spoiled.

And that's a contact killer right there.

I listened to Hit and Run earlier in the morning with yours truly.

Yes, Eric Nadal was on, the voice of the Texas Rangers.

It was like building a case, kind of like, it's not the Jacob DeGrom you're used to seeing.

And then he went out there and just was absolutely filthy.

Well, he can do it at 97.

He's not 102 anymore, but he can do it at 97, and the stuff is varied enough.

Can I just throw this out?

I do a show every day called The Recap Lunch Hour, and there were people today that were literally saying,

Are the Cubs going to be okay?
