2021 Texas Rangers

[Jameslaw121 4486]

Weird. Online it's showing some Dennis Eckersley show on what it has labeled as Fox Sports SW.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Impressive half-inning, bats. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Culberson’s lucky that ball was over him, may have been picking up chiclets otherwise. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Solak dedicated that to me. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Goddamn, Vlad Jr is a butcher. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

That second run is solely courtesy of Vlad. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22961]

Who is this pitcher disguised as Kyle Gibson today?

[Elmer_Fudd 22961]

Just noticed Oakland actually has a higher team ERA than Texas currently.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

4-3, 6-3, 5-3 that inning. 

[Trey3216 15451]

GIbson with 6innings of shutout ball and dropped his ERA to 7.11 and WHIP to 2.21  

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

So, giving up a yack every appearance ain't ideal. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Vlad swung at a shitty 3-0 pitch there. Thanks bro, you're our MVP today. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

I'll give Solak credit for one thing, he knows how to wear one. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Winning streak, bros. 

Kennedy may bring some value later. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Another quick-ass game.

Off tomorrow, then host the Tatis-less Pads for 3. 

[CowtownHorn 5126]

Back to .500 bitches!

[DougO 5263]

Is it fair to say the Rangers don't suck....yet?

Toronto must be really shitty. But I will take the non-losing record.

Later in the season than I would have predicted 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

This didn’t take long.

Buy Lowe, sell high.

[Pato del Muerto 53367]

Too early to move lowe?

6 years of control. If he's still bashing in June he might be our biggest trade asset 

[castolon 193]

If the timeline has any basis in reality, he's not a trade chip and the rangers will look brilliant. But...well, history

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

And the roster carousel begins. 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Tejeda 2-hole, Dahl sick.

Gonna try this tonight

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Well, the -1.5 is off to a strong start. 

[Jameslaw121 4486]

Taveras is turning into my new Odor.....Fuck

[Jameslaw121 4486]

Also, Ian Kennedy is sporting a -0.78 FIP. Had no idea it was possible to be negative

Problem is Eli is our only other CF on the 40. Dahl or Joey could handle it for a day or two, but Dahl is liable to hurt himself at any moment. And we know DD has zero upside. Leody is clearly overmatched though.

I think Leody needs more time in the minors. Maybe bring DD up and him down once the minors restart? Not sure what the 40 man would need to change for that though

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

I just don’t care much for DD the player, he doesn’t really deserve a 40 spot. But Leody may force the issue if this goes on all month. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Another fucking shitty turn by Solak. 

[Jameslaw121 4486]

Anyone catch what the error on the Padres was? i missed it

[Elmer_Fudd 22961]

Getting no-hit through 7.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

We have the error. Joey got HBP, that’s why the perfecto is out.

Thanks. doing stuff with the family so I'm just looking at the score everyonce in a while. misread the box on the error

[DougO 5263]

Almost tough to know who I'm rooting for here. I don't hate the Padres...yet.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Eli/Leody/IKF, he certainly can’t bitch about those 3 coming up. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Guess Dahl is over his tummy ache. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Shit, bad luck there. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Damn Leody, you really pissed all over that one. 

[DougO 5263]

Man, so many of those strikes are right in the meat of the plate.

 

[DougO 5263]

OK, good for Mussy and the Pods. Now let's kick their ass tomorrow.

[shadow_operative2.0 16200]

Well, we’ll be on all the highlights tonight.

Congrats to this dogshit Rangers team on their first of a couple of no-hitters against them this season. Sell the team Ray & Bob. 

[Jameslaw121 4486]

Padres have always been my "other" team. so I'm glad for them. 

[Fudbelty 2801]

Only 155 more of these to go.

Hey we only gave up 2 earned runs so the team ERA dropped some.  Progress.
