It's a good point. But these new guys are showing a lot more than any of those guy did early, except Odor, who proved to be a fluke. Maybe the current staff has a better philosophy on player makeup. Yeah, it's wishful thinking, but that's all we got.

Hope at some point we get some stud young starting pitching.  Maybe it's Winn and Leiter in a few years, but it stinks seeing the Mariners with studs like Logan Gilbert and George Kirby, Astros with Javier, Valdez, ect., and the A's always finding people while we have Hearn and his 5+ ERA, Dunning is ok I guess? and Howard and Alexy who haven't been able to stick around.  Otto has been decent so far.

[DougO 5265]

I guess Glenn otto got a vaccination.

[cactusflinthead 27627]

Lowe ties it up

[cactusflinthead 27627]

Sweatergawd Graveman is an example of why the rule changes are coming. Throw it at the plate shithead.

[Elmer_Fudd 22993]

What a shitty 8th inning.  King can't make the play covering first for out three, followed by a single and a double.

[cactusflinthead 27627]

Thanks kid. take your gas can.

[cactusflinthead 27627]

Dana on the postgame opener with the line of the game

"Well, that escalated quickly!"

[DougO 5265]

I still don't know who this other number 2 announcer is. He sucks.

Dave Valle.  Was a catcher for a long time for Seattle and was with Texas in 95-96 seasons.

OK, I remember him but they never say or show his name when I'm watching. He still sucks. I don't know why they rotate these guys so much when the main pair has such good chemistry. I guess Bally is super cheap and rents guys in different areas to cut down travel.

[DougO 5265]

That was a great scrappy win for the Rangers. Feels good, and its nice to get one of those back they blew in recent weeks. Maybe its a good sign.

Wasn’t the prettiest game in the world, but entertaining as hell especially with the Horns game on the main screen. This isn’t a perfect team, but there is definite improvement and after a third of a season I feel like a .500 season is a reasonable goal, which would be a big step in the right direction….

[ztejas 44228]

We won in extras? Stop the freaking press. 

[ss13 1832]

I don’t have the energy to tell old man Doug how fucking stupid he is with the commentators, so here’s the lineup.

 

[SomeoneYouKnow2 250]

Duran!

[ss13 1832]

Eli dead. 

[ss13 1832]

15 innings of CF in Kole’s career. 

[ss13 1832]

Ha, Beasley tried to fuck Adolis, but it worked. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22993]

Can we hold on this time?

[ss13 1832]

Quite the ending. 

Never a doubt. 

[DougO 5265]

Tried to give one back that they got back yesterday, not pretty. Great series win for the Rangers. Gritty, but not pretty. Keep it rollin'!

[ss13 1832]

Eli broke his wrist, done for awhile. Leody back. 

 

19 career LF innings for Kole. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22993]

Another typical frustrating Hearn start.  I guess the organization is going to keep rolling with through the year.

[Hookem2147 22031]

I’ve about had enough of the Taylor Hearn experience 

[ss13 1832]

 

Yeah, that's rather putrid. 

[ss13 1832]

Look at our new LF. 

[ss13 1832]

Good job, kid. 

[ss13 1832]

Killing ‘em softly with this unexpected comeback. 

[ss13 1832]

Hell of a job by Miller there to not get fucked by Beasley. 

[ss13 1832]

Thanks, shorty. 

[ss13 1832]

Never a doubt. 

[CowtownHorn 5126]

Way to go Texas!

[DougO 5265]

Well, that was very nice viewing.
 

I especially enjoyed PWNing the shift.

[ss13 1832]

Shitty sports night, so hopefully we don't get bombed early. 

 

[Herbie Hancock 7490]

Look who decided not to suck today

[ss13 1832]

Nate, bitches. 

[Herbie Hancock 7490]

That’ll do Nathaniel

[ss13 1832]

Fucking bullpen’d. King is dead. 

[Elmer_Fudd 22993]

King has been trash lately.  

[ss13 1832]

Well fuck, let's get it to goofy ball at least. 

[ss13 1832]

May check that play at 2B. 

Edited June 15, 2022 by ss13
Shit, it's good.

[ss13 1832]

Fuck, both teams have choked the shit out of one of these. 

[ss13 1832]

Tyson Miller probably won’t go well. 

[ss13 1832]

Yep, this afternoon will be free shortly.

Most certainly did not. 

[DougO 5265]

It seems like Woody could have managed the staff to get a little better set of matchups against a division opponent. 

[ss13 1832]

 Culb on the bump, he’ll probably spin a zero. 

[ss13 1832]

Fuck it, Culb should be our next opener. 

[ss13 1832]

And now 4 in Det. Check back in next week. 

[ss13 1832]

Some good news from today.
