So Beltre is hurt now too. It really is 2014 all over again.

What's next?  Banny pulls an ocular nerve and can't manage the team for a few weeks?   Beuchelle pulls a hammy and can't coach 1B?

Went to the game last night, they now sell these bad boys up and down the aisles just like beer.

The founder of these things was my high school teacher way back when. Sounds like the concept has been pretty successful. I’ve never had one though - are they any good? They look too fruity for me

[Jameslaw121 4498]

Anyone check and make sure Gallo didn't trip of his dog or anything last night?

 

Also, Calhoun should come up post May 3rd. That's when his service time won't kill a year

[Billy Pilgrim 2079]

Happy to see Profar playing well....he's due for a stint on the DL anytime now

[EastTexan 673]

Miserable home stand. Best part was Greive back on the call. Enjoy his stories of some of the crap from back in the day.

Gonna be a long season.

Nice little three game win streak going with Bartolo winning yesterday. Would be nice to sweep the BJ’s today.

Perez to the DL mercifully

[Dr Fear 1290]

What is up with the 5pm cst start time for the Indians series?

[Billy Pilgrim 2079]

Don't know if anyone is watching this game but it  is just reinforcing how really bad Drew Robinson is. Looking completely lost at the plate, terrible in the field- had 2 lazy plays where if he hustles out of the box, he is probably is safe at first with minimal effort. There's no reason for him to be on this roster with Deshields back.

[Billy Pilgrim 2079]

Valid question: Profar has been player really well lately; when Elvis comes back, does Profar move to second and Odor get benched?

[TheFlagship 466]

Trade him to the Dodgers for pitching/OF?

Not a bad idea with Seager out for awhile

[TheFlagship 466]

Though unfortunately in limited playing time, Profar has played an ugly SS. A couple big hits the last few games though 

[dcar00 14997]

holy crap.  guy steals 3rd and our 3B doesn't even cover the bag.  we are garbage.

Fucked the whole inning. Embarassing lack of focus

Gallo is a poor mans Dave Kingman.  dude is constantly guessing.  

[DougO 5269]

As bad as the Rangers are this year, it's amazing they don't suck a lot worse then they do.

Play Odor, hope he has a hot streak and becomes more of a tradeable commidity and unload him on some sucker before the deadline for a decent haul.

It would have to be one hell of a hot streak for a team to give up prospects for him and his $42 million in future salary.

[TheFlagship 466]

Are we sure this is the same Profar?

[DougO 5269]

Profar, progood.

[DougO 5269]

I like this Kiner-Falafel kid, too. He's scrappy. Looks like kind of a gamer.

Yeah as shitty as they are if they were in the Central Division I got a feeling the record would look a bit different.

Profar has had several bad throws lately. From short and turning dp's. Looks a little lackadaisical sometimes.

[EastTexan 673]

A question about the stro bro thread. Do they post about every damn pitch of the game? 

[TheFlagship 466]

You’ve got to be fucking kidding me

[HuntinHorn 1005]

This team is inventing new ways to suck every game...

True dat. He's either off target or late or both a lot of times. I'm sure some of that comes from being moved around so much.

I like winning. IKF is one of these guys that’s not gonna be a star but a guy that every team needs. Glad he’s getting a chance

what are you talking about? that was a beautiful 0-2 hanging curveball.  you couldn't draw that up better in high school.

I do like Kiner falefa(barring the brain fart on 3rd base last night).  he looks like a real hitter.  a lineup with beltre, Andrus, profar, KF, deshields,  Mazara, Gallo, Choo isn't half bad.  I think im done with Odor, he just has no plate discipline.  really need Choo to be hitting .270 to .280.

I don't think Robinson can handle this level of pitching.

Could be lollygagging.

Matt Moore is a spare.

[TheFlagship 466]

Less Moore going forward thanks

I'm done with Odor too. Below average fielder who has regressed at the plate. I'd rather have Profar or IKF manning second for the rest of this season.

[gyroprotagonist 2597]

i shit you not, I heard the score on the radio driving home and started pondering the 4 run lead and had this conversation with myself.

Hmmm 4-run lead.  still one swing of the bat could tie it.  I wonder if there is some stat site that has the % of 4 run games tied on a GS.

Fast forward to late night and I turn it on and see score tied and then go back and figure out WTF happened.  Need to ponder my odds of winning the lottery.

[Native Horn 3582]

Well don't check the scoreboard now fellas....

[Jameslaw121 4498]

Have a vague feeling that when Odor comes back in, and Kinner-Falefa gets benched, Odor will become the most hates player in Toronto, Houston, and Dallas

3 shots with a .44, No Less, No Moore.  

[TheFlagship 466]

Yohander called up. Remember when he was a top 100 prospect? Sigh 

Also it appears the Juan Centeno era is over 

[TheFlagship 466]

David Price when he sees the T...yeah we know how this one ends (2013 be damned)

[El Diablo 4232]

The Price is WRONG, bitch!

That's the shit Spirit Airlines was trying to shill on my at 6 am on my flight from Dallas to New york last year.  I've drank at 6 am before, but that made me want to punch the crew in the face.

[Vic Mackey 48029]

We own that bitch Price as usual. 

[Billy Pilgrim 2079]

Gotdam Nomar is on fire lately. 5 RBI last night, 2-2 so for tonight with double and HR.
