2021 Texas Rangers

[Elmer_Fudd 22,313]

Lulz at that strike 3 on Holt.  Horrible.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Good effort, poor result, Free Willie. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Impressive series, bros. 

[DougO 5,256]

Brutal. But maybe Gallo can keep building on this little groove he's been carving out lately and generate some more offense.

[Dr Fear 1,268]

So, the Rangers and the Rockies are the only teams not playing in Memorial Day? Did they not want to insult the troops?

Check out next Monday's MLB schedule.

Remember when this team was .500 and 3 games back not to long ago?  I remember.

Maybe MLB figured nobody would have given their lives for either of those teams.

Which team will lose the most games and get next year's No. 1 overall draft pick? 
 

Schoenfield: This will be one of the most intriguing storylines the final two months because super-prospect Elijah Green is the jewel of the 2022 draft, a high school outfielder who could end up as the top amateur draft prospect since Bryce Harper.

This looks like a heated four-team race between the Orioles, Tigers, Pirates and Rockies. The Orioles have the "advantage" of playing in a division with four other good teams. The Rockies still have 13 games against the Padres and 12 against the Dodgers and will probably trade Story right after the All-Star Game (which, remember, is now in Denver this year). The Pirates are terrible. The Tigers at least have a little pitching. I'll go with the Orioles as well, although John Means may single-handedly keep them from the worst record.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Damn, our upcoming schedule is really fucked. Off on the 7th, 10th, 14th, & 17th. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Good ol’ NL ball for 3 days.

We even suck at sucking. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Guess we’ll have to start letting Dunning hit for himself now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Holy shit, Khrush finally contributed! 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Thanks for that gift, idiots. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Nick wouldn’t have turned that. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

‘Bout to get walked off. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Ha, our zombie runner got fucking picked off. Shit, we suck. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Wild pitch on a walk to lose, very Ranger-ish.

Rangers blow.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

We’re a little late with the lineup today, wonder if something is going to be announced with DD first. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

He finally fucking sits.

Don't look now, but Solak is arguably having an All-Star level  season thus far.

The other AL 2nd base guys are pretty average.

Just checking in to see if anyone still hates Solak??

I think you still get a minimum of one player per team, so who else would it be at this point?

That was more directed at shadow. But now that you mention it. I guess you're right. I don't see anyone else as of right now

Now this. 

Bad baseball players are always going to eventually prove their (lack of) worth. He got hot for two weeks, now he is what we knew he was.

I actually think he is a better ball player than that.   He’s not an All-Star either.   I clearly said “thus far”, so nice “gotcha” moment for you.   

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

It’s not gotcha, it’s reality. A very bad defensive player has to be able to rake, Nick doesn’t. Unfortunately for him, you can’t really be a decent super-utility player if you can’t play on the left side of the IF. 

He’s bad at 2B, horrific in the OF, can’t really hit. The worst milb part of our season so far is @Post Oak’s hero Davis Wendzel getting hurt. He’s our 2B of the future. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Briefly winning. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

We didn’t want that fucking lead anyway. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Holy shit, Brock gave us the lead. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Demarcus ‘bout to fuck this all up. 

 

Fucking yep. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

That slide is fine, let’s go. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Excellent effort, pen. 

[DougO 5,256]

I'm tired of all this losin'ass shit. Especially losing to other shitty teams. Come on Rangers!

On the other hand they may be improving next year's draft position the past couple of weeks.

Old man Doug, do you read any posts? 

Click on that Monday, 3:31 part. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Fucking embarrassing effort. Fitting Nick ended it pathetically. 

2:00 tomorrow, not that anyone cares. 

[Dr Fear 1,268]

Well, they finally lost by more than one run.

[Firemans4Horn 18,119]

Tom Hicks was a better owner than Bob and Ray. 
 

Fight me on it. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

I’m not sure we’ve ever had a good owner/group. 

Edited June 3, 2021 by shadow_operative2.0

[Dr Fear 1,268]

Also dropped a half game back of the Rockies for 4th worst record in MLB.

Also, Yang is headed back to the bullpen and Allard will start against the Rays on Saturday. Gibson expected to be back on Friday.

Stupid user.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Sweet jesus, we’re hitting slapdick 2-hole & Khrush is in LF. 

 

[Wally Pryor 5,262]

Subjected myself to a couple innings today and I've never seen worse body language from a pro athlete than Foltynewicz.  Every pitch for him was like having teeth pulled.  Wanted no part of the mound today and was beyond disinterested. 

 

 

 

[CowtownHorn 5,126]

Sweeping the Astros killt us. Oh well, bring on another high draft pick I guess.

Edited June 3, 2021 by CowtownHorn

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Strong effort, Folty. 

[Wally Pryor 5,262]

Pathetic pitching performance.  Should be sent down after that shit. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,020]

Fortunately we play the best team in the sport next. 

[DougO 5,256]

I rush home from making the rounds so I can catch the last half of the Rangers game. I get here flip the TV on and they're down 7-0, fuckin' Gomer is pitching a shutout.

When the hell does NFL training camp start? Rookie mini camp?

[DougO 5,256]

I think Foltynewitcz must be Polish for faulty mechanics or some shit.

[Elmer_Fudd 22,313]

I tossed in the towel a week ago.  May catch a game from time to time, but won't watch the shit show on a daily basis.

[Big Frog II 511]

Jon boy has really done a great job with the Rangers.  Run them straight in the ground.
