2021 Texas Rangers

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Kepler & Joey solo shots. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

And a coed blooper by IKF to score Adolis. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Our boy Jordan gave 2 back.

Time to DFA this scrub and give someone else a shot.  Pretty much a given Lyles is going to give up 4-5 runs in 3 or so innings.

[Jameslaw121 4448]

Anyone else having problems streaming?

[mdmost 43001]

I can't lie. I didn't think Lyles was going to get out of that inning without giving up 3 runs. He worked it out nicely. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Holy hell, thought Buxton was gonna bring that shit back. 

[gsoda3 3262]

i thought he'd caught it til i saw it bounce.

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Not feeling real confident in Hearn throwing a zero here.

Surprised Woody left him in to face Buxton and Cruz, but it worked.  On to extras.

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

And now we get to play goofy-ball. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22224]

Willie!

[mdmost 43001]

We're really benefiting from this ump's wide strike zone. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Joey!! 

Helluva series, kids. 

[mdmost 43001]

Gallo sold out for that one. Nice. Great comeback and another series win. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22224]

Sborz came in dealin'.  Damn this team is fun to watch so far (with the occasional frustration).

[Elmer_Fudd 22224]

M's come to town this weekend.  Won't have to face Marco Gonzalez either.

[CowtownHorn 5126]

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Ha, Joey threw Sborz’s ball away.

This is a fun team.  

Also I like watching Willie hit

[Elmer_Fudd 22224]

The turn around in the bullpen the last several weeks has been impressive.  Was dreadful early on, but they've been throwing up goose eggs lately.  Kennedy/Joely/King/Sborz is a pretty salty group.  Hopefully another arm or two steps up out of Hearn/De Guess/Martin.

Really wish we had another dependable SP.

[Elmer_Fudd 22224]

Blue Jay's up on the A's 5-4 in the 5th.

[DougO 5248]

Dang, didn't realize it was an afternoon game. Missed a good one. Tonight's gonna suck.

[Elmer_Fudd 22224]

A's lost today.  Only 3 games back.

Quote

Triple-A Round Rock was set to begin its season Thursday night against Oklahoma City with Rangers designated hitter Khris Davis in the lineup to start his rehab assignment. He isn’t expected to be there for too long.

Woodward said Davis is likely to be recalled during the weekend series against Seattle. Davis has been sidelined since mid-March with a left quad strain after running the bases in a Spring Training game.

“[He] definitely would probably be there for the Sunday game when we're facing [Justus] Sheffield,” Woodward said. “He will most likely be in the lineup for sure that day. We want to get him out there probably Friday or Saturday, whatever would make the most sense.”

Davis, who hit .219 with two home runs in 13 Spring Training games, is looking for a bounceback season after struggling in 2020. He hit at least 42 home runs for the A's each year from 2016-18 and 23 in ‘19 but only two in 30 games in ‘20. The Rangers acquired him from Oakland in a five-player deal on Feb. 6.

Let's do this

 

[Elmer_Fudd 22224]

Wtf, BSSW is showing Mavs and FSSW+ is showing Hockey on my TV, but it says Bally is supposed to be showing Rangers, anyone else having this?

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

It’s 676-2 on Direct, or local channel 21 in DFW tonight. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Nice fucking play, Adolis.

Guess I'm just SOL tonight.  I've got Mavs on Bally, Hockey on FSSW+, and the DFW channel showing WWE 🤬

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Well, this is fun early. Adolis for Heisman.

And then he promptly gets picked off.

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Here's a stream.

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

I jinxed the fuck out of this one, Folty gave it back with a quickness. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Ha, Free Willie made their graphic look good. 

[Jameslaw121 4448]

Calhoun, Lowe, and Garcia are becoming my surprise favorites for the year

[Jameslaw121 4448]

That was fucking scary

[Jameslaw121 4448]

I swear, last year, that would have resulted in a triple with two injured Rangers.

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Ball is flying tonight, boys. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

It is fucking difficult to get picked off 1st twice in one game. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Goddamnit Folty, this yack bullshit is already old.

It's amazing Folty's ERA isn't at least 2+ runs higher, he's given up more HR's than Lyles.  

Edited May 8, 2021 by Elmer_Fudd

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

He’s given up more than every single P in the sport. 

[Jameslaw121 4448]

Fuck these fucking umps. thats two today...

[Post Oak 20213]

Down on the farm.  Knock on wood but we may have one.

 

 

[Dr Fear 1268]

That 1884 Washington Statesman team couldn't hit for shit!

[Elmer_Fudd 22224]

Well shit!  

[shadow_operative2.0 15984]

Um, down 1 with 4 outs left is NOT the fucking time to try the bunt, Joey. Jesus shit.
