Profar now injured. Have to just laugh at this point 

2014 all over again. Except there were real expectations for that team. Not so much this team.

[dcar00 14023]

man just awful

[dcar00 14023]

that dude in CF for us is flat awful.

[Elmer_Fudd 22084]

Perez has a sparkling 13.14 ERA after 3 starts.

[TheFlagship 432]

We’ll always have the Bartolo game 

[Knoxtnhorn 5928]

Seven fucking players.  SEVEN that played tonight that are hitting .222 or less.  None of them are pitchers.  We've got a guy batting .063.  WTF?

[Get ln My Van 927]

Keep Guzman in the lineup

Is that bad?

Well, it’s not good.

[Knoxtnhorn 5928]

I’m not even sure that’s a good ERA in slow pitch softball.  Too bad our pitchers can’t go against our hitters and cancel each other’s stats.

I think your right...even in a co-ed beer league i dont recall teams scoring 4/5 runs a inning

I'm not even sure how effective this offense would be in softball beer league.

[Bone3421 716]

Youngsters did well tonight

[DougO 5239]

Rag tag bunch of misfits looking decent 3 of the last 4 games. Good for Moore having a real nice night.

Dude is trash....there's not a nice way to put it 

[TheFlagship 432]

Excellent point made on the Athletic today. Team building requires a little luck in the sense that you need guys who are not considered elite prospects to breakout and become MLB caliber players in order to compete for titles (Kinsler and Nellie for example). Maybe the rangers can find that in either IKF or Condor.

I like Condor's plate approach.  Kind of a Dave Magadan style swing and bat control.  Not a bad thing by any stretch.  

 

Mazara has really improved his swing zone command as well.

We made it 50 hours without a single post.  The very definition of apathy

Despite an international signing during that time. 

[TheFlagship 432]

I think the JPM signing had been unofficial for a while. But yeah, these games have been boring lately. 

[Jameslaw121 4445]

It's hard to get excited when you have 4 people in the line up batting .202 or less.....

[Pato del Muerto 52322]

Only 4?

[Jameslaw121 4445]

^^^^ Technically 5 - Rua came in to pinch Run - but he didn't actually bar.

Maybe they should hit the bar before the games.

Bartolo day! 

[TheFlagship 432]

Soon

 

[TheFlagship 432]

Struggling to think of a worse player to wear the T than Tocci.

[El Diablo 4232]

Time for Seattle to get a taste of Texas' Colon.

Claudio is such a fuckin spare.  I can't believe this is the best staff Daniels can put together.

This team fucking sucks.

Tocci should be bagging groceries. 

Call Willie up yesterday.

Ryan Rua is providing stiff competition.

Jeremy Jeffress all of the sudden learned how to pitch again after getting away from the Rangers.  Has an ERA below 1 for the Brewers.

Maz has had a nice April at the plate 

[TheFlagship 432]

Holy shit Delino had an incredible catch 

[TheFlagship 432]

Khris Davis had a big hit against us? No way!

How many times are they going to put Jepsen and let him shit the bed before they learn their lesson?

bannister was dealt a shitty hand this year but some of his decisions have contributed to the shittiness of this team, primarily bullpen management 

[TheFlagship 432]

What the fuck!

[Knoxtnhorn 5928]

Lulz.  The Rangers somehow have like 5 of the worst 10 players in the majors.

It’s early still. 

By september, they could easily have more.

Your bullpen tends to suck when you starts can't make past the first out of the 5th inning most of the time.

Wait until after we trade Beltre and Hamels.
