Joey! 

[mdmost 43000]

Joey awakens!

[ss13 1832]

Right shoulder tightness. 

[TeddyBearStallion 73]

Tightness in his right shoulder.  

[TeddyBearStallion 73]

That was a shot by Joey. Never thought we'd see a right field upper deck HR in GLF.

[dcar00 14154]

I like power blue top but really needs white pants.

I wonder if he was feeling it before he went out for the first inning.  I think I'd feel better if he did.

[ss13 1832]

Col is pulling an us from yesterday. 

[mdmost 43000]

Nice inning so far. 

[ss13 1832]

Santana didn’t like this rally. 

[mdmost 43000]

Good plate discipline there for Joey. I thought for sure he was going to take a swing at it. 

[ss13 1832]

Welp, we’re back. 

[dcar00 14154]

why didnt he go to 3rd?

[ss13 1832]

Holy fucking shit, our defense is atrocious. 

[mdmost 43000]

Holy shit. They do know how to turn a double play. 

[Dr Fear 1268]

Holy fucking shit, our defense is atrocious. 

Refsnyder, oh my.

[mdmost 43000]

"It's a 1 run game and if the Rangers come back, a lot of the credit goes to Chavez....and Story hit a home run to left field". Thanks Dave! 

[Get ln My Van 927]

With the 1st pick in the 2021 MLB draft the Texas Rangers select... Kumar Rocker, pitcher, Vanderbilt.

[ss13 1832]

Cool name, at least. 

[mdmost 43000]

We're cursed.

 

[Radical Larry 28564]

Well that’s just fucking great.

[Vic Mackey 47012]

You mean a guy coming off a serious injury and had not pitched in over a year is hurt again? No way! Never saw this coming. 

[tokamak 6394]

I doubt they’ll pick up next year’s option on him now. His entire Rangers career is going to be 1 inning.

Dude’s on the Brandon Webb career path now, sadly.

[ss13 1832]

Hard to remember a trade sucking so badly for both teams. Delino has ‘Rona, Clase is suspended for 80. 

[ss13 1832]

Solak sits again, Elvis dropped. 

Let’s try to be different & score more than 2 tonight, ladies.

Leody move is a little weird because we already have Heineman as a RH backup OF, & now we can’t move Santana to LF late. 

[Post Oak 20208]

this is a throw away season.  let leody play.  

[ss13 1832]

And Nick. 

[ss13 1832]

Reminder this is the first of many 8:05 weeknight starts. 

[ss13 1832]

Alright, IKF back to the bench, Frazier to 3B, Solak to 1B. 

 

Although that was 1000% on Frazier. 

[Radical Larry 28564]

That was impressive.

[Elmer_Fudd 22204]

3 unearned runs and counting in the 1st inning.  

[brojangles2 786]

JFC. That shits on Frazier. Fuck. 

[TexasGary 833]

Ok, lets see if I have this right.  We have a catcher playing 3rd base, a 3rd baseman playing first base, and another 3rd baseman (Gallo) playing RF.  Anything else?

[ss13 1832]

UIF playing CF, DH playing LF. 

 

Although Joey is correct in RF.

We have out back up 2nd baseman in instead of our starter?

[brojangles2 786]

They have managed to look like lost little leaguers every single time out thus far. 

[TexasGary 833]

Gallo came up as a 3rd baseman. He played at 1st and outfield to accommodate Beltre but 3rd was his natural position.  Unfortunately  Odor is the starting 2nd baseman but Solak has experience at 2nd.  Frazier has played 1st before but was usually at 3rd.  I thought Kiner-Falefa was a catcher but they have him at 3rd.  Santana was a utility infielder  He is in CF. 

I just don't see other teams with this many players out of position. 

[ss13 1832]

Gallo was never going to stick at 3B, he played there coming up simply because he was huge & has a cannon. IKF is the definition of backup IF, the C experiment failed miserably. 

[ss13 1832]

Ha, nice job by the P to think the force was still on. 

[ss13 1832]

And an even better job by the manager not realizing what he’s challenging. This is embarrassing. 

[ss13 1832]

Jesus fuck, that was unnecessary. 

[Greg Davis Apologist 213]

Why aren’t all of the seats behind home plate filled with cutouts of fans? Did not enough people pay for tonight’s game? Do we really suck that bad? You’d think the Rangers could put historical figures or cartoon characters back there or something.

I'm good with that but a competent organization would have had him getting experience in the OF all of his career.   They have not drafted well and have no hope to win in the foreseeable future.  

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Rangers are terrible. Luckily I don't have to watch 162 games of suck.

[ss13 1832]

He’s played at least some OF in 5 of his 6 ML seasons, he’s fine. 

 

The horrible drafting is a whole ‘nother issue. 

[ss13 1832]

Better hurry if you need a drink during a commercial break, because our offensive half-innings are fucking quick. 

[Post Oak 20208]

Over/under 160 runs scored this year.  

I think I'd take the over but I don't feel good about it.

[Jameslaw121 4448]

Has Gallo lead off the 2nd inning every game this year? As in we haven't had a base runner in the first?

We may need to set an O/U on # of times we get no-hit.
