2021 Texas Rangers

[mdmost 43,003]

This offense is just lethal!

[Elmer_Fudd 22,247]

Sad thing is pitching has been good enough to win all 3 of these recent shutouts.

Will probably score 8 tomorrow but give up 10.  It's the Ranger way.

[Dr Fear 1,268]

First time this year that the money/win line and the run line had a different result.

Rangers have yet to be favored in a game this year. Looking at the schedule, Thursday might be their bet chance for a while with the Rays pitcher TBD.

[Vic Mackey 47,046]

What is the record for most times a team has been shutout in a season? I am sure we are going to be able to challenge or beat that. Embarrassing.

But can we keep the 2 run differential????

Welp we have 3 in the last 4 games. So we will definitely challenge that. 

[dcar00 14,210]

ha. this is the lineup I expected.

1972 Rangers averaged around 3 runs a game.  10 games in the 2021 Rangers - 2.8 runs(with the opening day 10 run anomaly).

50 years and runnin'(or not Run In)

That seems doable.

By the All-Star break.

That's still better than Taveras and Tejada and right there with the Condor.

He still has a 4-star OPS+.

 

No wait.  That says a 4 OPS+

[Loch Ness Monster 3,533]

I love when we hear from the owners letting us know they care. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Torn meniscus for Condor, Adolis Garcia up, Trevino cleanup.

This team looks like fuckin' rotted garbage. Just when I have time to watch some baseball, the Rangers look like shit.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

No one shuts us out 4 out of 5! 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,247]

Lulz leaving on that one to watch the Longhorns.

Just read my mind. If I want to watch little league, I'll just drive down the road to the little league field.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Oh by the way, Solak is still an embarrassment to the sport. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Ha, Nick dedicated that to me. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,247]

Solak with a bases clearing double 😄

[DougO 5,250]

Who is this new Kyle GIbson guy that doesn't suck? Can't be related to the Kyle Gibson we had before that was horrible.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

The immortal Charlie fucking Culberson. 

[mdmost 43,003]

One of those weird we actually have an offense kind of nights.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Easy game, never a doubt. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

[Dr Fear 1,268]

Garcia hitting cleanup, what a time to be alive.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Yandy Diaz is our early-game MVP for that baserunning. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Unfortunately, we repaid the favor with Dahl's horrific slide. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

And of course he immediately makes up for it, just like Nick after my post last night. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22,247]

Rays reliever was 1 strike away from pulling a Houdini act in back-to-back innings.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Adolis yack! 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Holy shit, that stayed in. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Inside-the-parkers are cooler anyway. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Fuck!!!!!!

One of the angles it showed looked for sure safe IMO.

[Jameslaw121 4,448]

Fuck you fuckers

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

We got fucked on replay on that Eli steal the other day, now this. Ridiculous. 

[DougO 5,250]

There's not a single frame of that video that shows anybody being out. What a bunch of bullshit.

[Firemans4Horn 18,052]

Tropicana Field is such a fucking joke. The Rays should start every season 20 games under .500 for playing in that clown car stadium. 

[Hate 20,108]

Well, I'll take credit for that win. It's the first start to finish regular season Ranger game I've watched since Vic ruined the thread on the old site.

I didn't ruin it. It was full of hall monitor fucking dorks who can't handle someone that doesn't fall in line with their bullshit. Good riddance to them.

[Hate 20,108]

Goddamnit.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,247]

Don't look now, but team ERA is below 4.50 and in top half of MLB.

[Restinmybones 111]

Every time I talk about how much a team - any team, any sport - sucks, they usually quickly improve or have a few good games in a row. That team might suck but fate will usually laugh in my face before they return to form. 

The Rangers suck ass. They'll end up toward the bottom of the league in runs scored and the early pitching success has to be a mirage. No way this staff is this good. 

There. Maybe that'll keep 'em going for a few games. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,984]

Seems like Dahl will be IL-bound shortly. 

[DougO 5,250]

I was looking at the standings yesterday and it was weird how the Rangers have the shittiest record in the AL, but there were a number of NL teams that are worse. I'm sure it will level out soon after the Rangers have played more NL teams.
