88mph, so he could travel through time to the end of the season.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

Great fucking throw, Bush. These bastards who insist on throwing sidearm. Fifty feet from homeplate. He and Profar need a refresher course in accuracy.

I don't like it when Beltre does it either, but he's been doing it so long, it seldom costs him.

Great story in the Athletic about Mason Englert - worth the read:

Cool to see a Forney Jackrabbit get drafted since I graduated from there. They have always had a solid baseball program. They went to State this year but fell short. But this kid pitched very well. Hope he pans out be it for us or whomever. Preferably us. We need pitching for the future in the worst way.

All I have to say tonight is...what in the god damn fuck is this shit

[HRSchenker 2257]

Friday night was Texas A&M night at the ballpark. Walked around the Grand Slam gift shop and saw this abortion of a tattoo

Imagine a life like that

[Vic Mackey 46919]

Today was fun.

[TheFlagship 432]

Onions. 

 

[Trey3216 15325]

That was a fun game to watch today.  What an awesome ending.  Definitely smelled onions, and my fan must need dusting. 

[Jameslaw121 4445]

That was awesome to watch!

[Dr Fear 1265]

FWIF, Profar, not Odor, is starting tonight at 2nd with the return of Elvis.

 

 

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

Gallo struck out four times yesterday. (Walked in the ninth). Wish Rua would kick his hitting up a notch.

[Jameslaw121 4445]

And Trevino sent back to Frisco - Guess that makes IKF the backup catcher right now

[Vic Mackey 46919]

Trevino needs to see the plate and field everyday so sending him back as the only decision. He and the team both knew it was just a temporary stint.

I really don't see Profar being more than a utility player for the duration of his career. He doesn't play any position well enough to make the team keep him there and his bat isn't there either. He's a good asset to have in that role. Which is a far cry from the can't miss, untradable asset he was before he ever saw the field.

[Vic Mackey 46919]

How long do we stick with the Gallo experiment? Besides being able to launch a ball a long ways when he connects, what does he do well?

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

Profar has become an important part of this offense. He can play Left. Give him 20-30 games out there he'd probably be pretty good at it. As inconsistent as Odor is offensively, he's more effective than Gallo.

Gallo is a shittier Adam Dunn

[Dr Fear 1265]

Something is going down, clubhouse is also closed pre-game.

So, a bunch of player got hammered last night and Mendez got the spanking????

 

[Dr Fear 1265]

Odor was in the lineup 2 hours ago, that is not the case as of 5 minutes ago.

[Dr Fear 1265]

 

[Vic Mackey 46919]

Seems like a fight in the locker room after the game last night.

When is Odor's bobblehead night? Can you bench someone on their bobblehead night?

30th, a week from Saturday. I belive last year the traded Lucroy a few week before his bobblehead, and then just did it later in the year as a generic Star Wars bobblehead.

[C-Man 26992]

So any updates on what it was that happened?

[Jameslaw121 4445]

Odor probably tried to hit Mendez, but missed. Mendez retaliated and threw a ball at his head and also missed

Anyone see Odor in the dugout yesterday during the game? I don't remember seeing him.

He was in the bull pen catching at one point

[C-Man 26992]

Norm was talking about Odor and Mendez and a few other Rangers being out with some of the Royals the night before and things "got out of hand" whatever that means. Just got all boozed up or something worse?

Anyone know where Ron Washington was?

What a clusterfuck this season has become

[Dr Fear 1265]

 

[TheFlagship 432]

If IKF can actually play a decent catcher, that would be awesome for us going forward

i fucking hate tocci, why does he play

[Jameslaw121 4445]

Desheilds getting a rest day?

[Assman 1830]

Show me a loss.

[EastTexan 662]

Screw y'all bitches. Rangers on a run. Longest streak in mlb.

Go Rangers!

also, IKF, I really like this guy.

They should bench bobbleheads...forever.

Not really - after sitting out a game or two, both he and Gallo seemed a little more determined not to swing at shit pitches Wed night.
