2021 Texas Rangers

[Surly Bevo 25664]

Opening Day full capacity.

Hmm maybe because you know that with as shitty as the roster is that you are rolling out that game is your only sellout in the bag.

[Firemans4Horn 18501]

Covid clowns. Fuck Ray and Bob.

How many games will it take for us to score 17 runs once the regular season starts?  O/U of 7?

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

We got 1-hit the day after scoring 17.

Well it was the A's.  Whoever they send out against us always looks like Cy Young.  I fully expect them to win 14-15 of the 19 matchups against Texas this year.  Elvis will probably have some insane average against us while stinking the rest if the year.

Kyle Seager will single handily win about 5 games for M's against Texas as well.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

I would be willing to bet Elvis misses 40+ games.

should be negged for bringing up Seager.  That guy should pursue 10-day contracts with teams that are currently playing the Rangers.  1st ballot HOF

[Elmer_Fudd 22961]

Jordan Lyles has been told he won't be in the rotation and he isn't happy about it.  Probably can't get anything in a trade for someone who had a 7+ ERA last year.

[Post Oak 20551]

If that's not the kiss of death for Lyles career I don't know what is

I swear if we pass on Rocker/Leiter with the #2 pick...they’ve just fallen into our laps. 
 

Yet you just know they are going to take some HS kid instead.

If he's back to his All-Star/Cy Young candidate year then we may have something (reports say he's back to mid 90's FB and was down last year due to losing a lot of weight).  If nothing else, he has a good year and becomes a valuable trade piece in July.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

In news that will shock absolutely no one, Free Willie is hurt again. Will open the season on his usual IL with a strained groin or some shit. 

Who knew AJ Alexy was the key to the Yu deal?

Guess that means Khris Davis and his current sub .100 BA will be full time DH to start?

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Maybe Lowe against righties with Condor at 1B.

[Dr Fear 1286]

Are their any streaming options for Fox Sports SW?  I'm in FW on Youtube TV.  I have a U-Verse password but it won't let me get on via Fox Sports Go (Mavs games at least).

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

You'll just have to stream it like UFC/Stars/Mavs. Good news is you won't care by about April 30.

Is ATT the only option? My parents have Dish Network and FSSW has been gone for well over a year now. All I hear is Uverse and DirectTV(both ATT owned). Youtube TV, which is what I have did away with it last year. I know where to get streams online but it becomes a pain at times and I'd rather find it on tv. Sucks because Mavs/Rangers/Stars is all on there. And the high school state games. Can you not buy FSSW directly without having to subscribe to a whole streaming service? YoutubeTV is great for my sports needs.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

AT&T owns the entire state for MLB. Them's the breaks.

That's how I feel too.  Tepid had some videos on Lawlar up on his twitter.  Pretty impressive.

Idk

If Khris Davis doesn't go for 19 HRs and 48 RBIs against the A's, I'm gonna be pissed.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

We’re taking Leiter. 

[Jameslaw121 4486]

I have Spectrum, and I haven't had any problems streaming Fox on my laptop or at work

 

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Thought I heard the owners are allowing 100% capacity the first week then reduced capacity after that.

Nice opening week cash grab.

They're repulsive.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

What will parking cost? That's where you really get bent over. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Possible OD lineup, minus Trevino. Leody needs to get to work, & Lowe has been awful.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Confirmed. Sad.

Guessing Royals go with Duffy or Keller.

[CowtownHorn 5126]

Eli White tearing it up this spring. Making a strong push for the starting CF spot. Could make the Profar trade to the A’s look pretty good. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Someone on here absolutely hated him last year. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Lyles & Khrush trolling us now.

Just to add on to the trolling, Kyle Gibson threw 4 hitless innings with 6 K's today.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

This had to physically pain Morris to type. Dude is always fucking wrong about his roster projections. 

Quote

At this point, it appears likely Davis makes the Opening Day roster, due to Calhoun starting the year on the injured list. I said before spring training started that I didn’t see how the Rangers would have more than one out of Davis, Guzman and Rougned Odor on the roster, given their positional limitations and inability to be sent down, but all three appear likely to be on the roster on April 1, so that’ll show me.

We break all our new toys. 

 

[Elmer_Fudd 22961]

Seeing Brad Keller will be Opening Day starter for the Royals followed by our old pal Mike Minor in game 2.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Eli playing 1B today, really trying to upset this thread. 

[Vic Mackey 47862]

Figures

 

[Elmer_Fudd 22961]

Now Leclerc is out with elbow soreness.  Ian Kennedy to closer?

[OneOfTheOutOfFocusGuys 2153]

Number of MLB quality players quickly approaching zero.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Appears it’s mostly just a name change, & you’re still fucked if you don’t have a FSSW carrier. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Hell, now we can have the Condor/Eli LF platoon! Fucking shit. 

 

[castolon 193]

Team batting average o/u trending towards the mendoza line. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Well, Khrush took himself off the OD roster.

So the Rangers have, uh, 12 fully healthy position players on the 40 with MLB experience.

Too lazy to check his math. On schedule
