2021 Texas Rangers

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Lowe deserves a day off after his defense last night, Joey’s hurt. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22219]

Whatever the current road losing streak is might want to go ahead and add 3 to it.  @ LA this weekend and set to face Bauer, Kershaw, and Buehler.  May be on no-hit alert.

[DougO 5247]

I wonder what the MLB team record is for being no-hit the most times in a season.

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Do the owners ever say anything? Do they give a f?

Looks like Eli saved our ass in that regard.  At least for today. 

[DougO 5247]

I googled for the answer and saw a recent article on Cleveland joining the infamous 2nd time club. The article did not list the Rangers among those teams no-hit twice, it it wasn't quite up to date. But it stated that no MLB team had been no-hit three times in a season. That could also be wrong, but if so I think it's within reach.

Let's gooooooo!

[DougO 5247]

Only Ranger to get a hit is a replacement rookie. Just send everyone down but Garcia and bring up all rookies to start the next game.

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

That was quite fluke play to tie it in bot 9. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Now let’s see if we can score our zombie runner. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Playing 11. 

[DougO 5247]

I regret never having a blue glove way back when. I love the blue gloves.

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Ha, nice fucking bunt there. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Hey, Brock walked it off. 

[Gucci_Suit 2644]

When will the ship turn? Tell me what to look for.

2023 at a minimum, more likely a year after that.  The sign will be when they start spending money on legitimate free agents.  I was looking at their payroll on spotrac last night, they are just about out of the woods when it comes to dead money and bad contracts. There is something like $25 million going to Andrus and Odor next year and the only player under an actual contract is Gibson at $7 million.  The rest are in some phase of arbitration.  

[Dr Fear 1268]

Folty v. Kershaw tonight. Dodgers -300. Have to wait til first pitch to if if this is the biggest underdogs they have been this season (@ Yankees v. Cole).

Don't look at the big club.  Look down in the minors.  Cole Winn has been really good with the exception of his last start.  

Bubba Thompson has had a good start.  Jung should be back next week.

Plus the draft

Aren't they still paying Fielder, too? I may be completely wrong (er, most likely).

That finished up last season.

If you want to follow the minors, sign up for the daily Lucas email. It’s just one a day, you can read as much or as little as you care.

We all knew Eli & Adolis would be 2-3 on June 11. 
 

[Radical Larry 28606]

Well, that should do it. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Lowe fails to pick one (again), yack, yack. 

Think Folty has surpassed Lyles as shittiest.

Ho lee fuk, 7 batters, 6-0. 

[Radical Larry 28606]

Back to Nuggets/Suns

Woodward hired this guy to hype the guys up before the game

 

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Culberson made that shit look easy on the bump. 

[DougO 5247]

Culby looks like about the fourth best pitcher on the team. LOL

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

He’s now played every position but C & CF this season. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

New 2B. 
 

[Dr Fear 1268]

New 2B. 
 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Surly broke him. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Heim 2-run yack. Shit, easy game. 

[DougO 5247]

Very nice start for Allard. I'm happy for him. I hope they don't blow it for him.

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

5-0, see ya Trevor. 

[Dr Fear 1268]

I had no idea:
A. David Price was still in baseball and
B. Coming out of the bullpen

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Still getting rocked too. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

8-1, we should play these guys more. 

Spoiler

Please don’t get no-hit tomorrow. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Shit, we own the road. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Sadly, we’re playing our shitty 2B again. 
 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Google Fiber has given up.  Dodgers game is "showing" on the guide to be on but there's some dude hiking in Durango on what should be the right channel.

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Well, our offense reverted to the norm today anyway. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Of course we’re battling now. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

Jesus fuck, Joey. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

This is the offense we know. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15981]

And nope. @Dr Fear got lucky. 

[Trey3216 15346]

Didn’t lose tonight.  Good day 

[Harrison Bergeron 1798]

Need to just send the entire team team to Frisco and sell that abomination of a stadium to the bowling HOF.
