Nice, competitive game between 2 good teams.

Not championship caliber, but good teams.

Certain ones do, but the other night the ump was 1 pitch away from a perfect game called.

Optimistic that the Rangers have inspired more middling teams to just go for it.  MLB is better if all teams are trying to win.  Astros/Cubs model ruined the sport for people who enjoy the regular season

Yeah, their way (HOU, CHC) is one of many optimal acts in baseball that make the game worse.

Teams should completely abandon trying to win 95+ games or winning their division, just spend the minimum amount they determine will get them to 85 wins and then just see what happens. 
If they're smart.

They tanked on purpose for multiple seasons in order to draft high and accrue talent for an eventual run.
Not fun for your fans when you're purposely tanking over multiple seasons.

Remember when the Cubs won the WS and were going to be a dynasty?  lol

no they should have followed the example set annually by the Dodgers

play a strong reg season and then tank in the playoffs
