Hey, we’re winning. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Son of a bitch. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Unexpected 2-out hit there. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Holy fuck, blue.

$100 a game on the opponent's 1.5 run line, I am just now back to plus $130 but I like the way it is trending.  Got down $556 at the worst point on May 15.

Kennedy is back. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Lyles is back too. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Nick contributed. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

And then we get Hearn’d again. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Eli & Jung, our future. 

 

[Dr Fear 1,286]

That's 19 of 20 road losses. Yet another day off tomorrow then the lowly Twins come to Arlington.

I was looking at the road standings and was surprised to see that the Rangers (10-27) or Diamondbacks (9-29) don't have the worst road record, Rockies are 5-27 lol.

Last few weeks have been a beatdown.

Fucking this. Started going to games in ‘73 at the old place with Pops when I-30 was a toll road. Sat through more shit-ass baseball than I care to remember. A loser franchise in every respect.

Nice swat, but it was hard rooting against Team Whataburger.

Just looking up internet stuff, looks like a once decent prospect with good raw material that hasn't quite got it figured it out yet. Still fairly young fixer-upper project, worth a shot.

Had been rated the number 4 prospect for the Twins two years ago.

The Rangers have at least had some success in value shopping in the dent and scratch aisle. Maybe this can be one of those.

The Twins surely hoped they’d be able to pass Anderson through waivers based on his injuries and rough showing in the big leagues so far. Doing so would’ve allowed them to keep him in Triple-A while reallocating his 40-man spot. Had Minnesota not been hit so hard by the injury bug this season, perhaps the club would’ve been able to avoid trying to pass Anderson through waivers at all, but the loss of the right-hander is yet another ramification of the team’s injuries and generally poor showing in 2021.

[Dr Fear 1,286]

Isn't this guy a starter?

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Mostly, but he certainly isn’t untouchable enough to not try him in the pen at some point this season.

Make sense. I didn't see a corresponding move?

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

MiLB rosters are extra screwy this year. They can can carry like 30+ guys with 25 or so active on game day. Dudes are always going back & forth to fill spots. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Loaded with no outs for Nellie. We getting Folty’d. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Ha, 3-0 & a fucking throwing error. DFA his sorry ass, he is as big a failure as Dahl & the broken Asian. 

[Dr Fear 1,286]

I think Folty has replaced Lyles as the pitcher I most want to see when I am making my bet in the morning.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Definitely. Lyles appears to at least give a shit because he knows his career could be over at any point. Folty looks like he fucking hates the sport. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Well, we got 2 back. 

[cactusflinthead 27,626]

Dave Raymond said weird arm.

 

[Radical Larry 28,816]

And Folty gives up his 342nd homer of the season.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Helluva play by Jose there. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Adolis for the first time in a minute. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Is this our first roof ball? 

[Fudbelty 2,801]

Holy shit. That’s fucking way up there.

[Fudbelty 2,801]

I’m less impressed now that 2.0’s boy did it too. Although Joey’s did travel further from the plate and still got up there.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Interesting DP there, & IKF apparently can’t count to 3. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Give us that Friday night walkoff. 

[cactusflinthead 27,626]

All buzzed from playoff hockey and Goddammit this shit!

embrace the chaos

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Heim needs to beat Sborz’s ass after this inning. 

[Dr Fear 1,286]

Heim needs to beat Sborz’s ass after this inning. 

The list of people on this team that need their ass beat is long and undistinguished.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,199]

Fuck me, WHY do I watch?! 

[DougO 5,263]

Rangers pitchers look like they've been practicing from 58 feet of the plate.
