08:08 AM ET 09.03 | The Rangers certainly caught the attention of Cleveland over the weekend. [On Sunday,] Josh Hamilton, Adrian Beltre and David Murphy all hit solo home runs in the Texas fifth. Derek Holland (10-6) gave up two runs over seven innings as the AL West-leading Rangers took two of three in the series. Texas matched its best record through 133 games, having also gone 79-54 in 1999. "Texas is probably the best team in baseball, period," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "The guy hitting ninth today (Jurickson Profar) could be in the middle of the order for most teams. And how do you get the ball through the infield with the guys they have playing there? They should go very deep, if not back to the World Series, again this year."

Very concerned about the starting pitching. Great to see a guy come to the plate for the first time in his career and send one out as Profar did.

Sounds like Manny is trying to land a job on the Rangers staff after he's fired.

Texas is a very good team playing well at the moment. They have been the best team in the AL the last two years, but this year isn't over yet. Baltimore may well be better this year.

Ron Wash handles the personalities well over a 162 game season. But he is not a good game manager. He'll get outmanaged by someone like Bruce Bochy or Davey Johnson at world series time.

The Giants were not the best team two years ago, but they won it all. Pitching matters.

Great predication Manny on your way out. It is easy to say that since your team has quit on you and the Rangers have been in the series the last two years.
