It’s never fun watching your rival succeed, especially when you’re not at your best. The Texas Rangers currently find themselves in that unsettling situation. That team down in Houston hasn’t just dominated the AL West the past two years, but they’ve also dominated the postseason, reaching the ALCS in 2018 and winning the World Series in 2017.
2018 was the first season since the Astros joined the AL West that they won the division while the Rangers finished in last place. Hence, the peak of panic among Texas Rangers’ fans.
I’m not going to sit here and tell you that the Rangers will be better than the Astros next season.
